Rieder, county, agriculturai ag ent. . " . I - "It looks like peaches will be worth protecting .with sprays or dusts this year in spite of the re ported light crops in a great many orchards,' Rieder said. The sulphur vdust applied at the rate of about Ms pound per tree will be very effective in checking brown rot disease on the ripening fruit. It should be remembered, however, that a supers-fine dust ing sulphur should be , used, one which will pass a 325 mesh screen is advisable. Some growers prefer to spray, and satisfactory control can be. secured by the use of a wettable sulphur spray applied at the rate of about six pounds to. 100 gallons of water. , . r . Growers - are finding it profit-- able to. dust or spray as often as 10-day intervals between now and harvest time and while sul phur is not very effective . as a killing material for the 12-spot- ted cucumber beetle which is causing considerable damage, to ripening fruit, it does however tend to check the' beetle attacks on the fruit.

G. Johnson, head of the department of animal . hus bandry at Oregon State college. In Oregon, as well as elsewhere m the country farmers are rais ing the largest number of' meat animals on record, with market ings normally scheduled , to reach an aU-time high late this fall and in early winter. Gurrent shortages in some parts of the . country are caused by an tomisually large ex port ' and ; domestic -demand for meat, supplies plus seme local dis locations, caused by price control. - Because' of the current, demand and favorable price. Oregon.-cat- tlemen could well afford to move some stock such : as fat covs tp market - in -greater volume -. than usual this summer and "early fall so as to avoid a possible congest tion in slaughtering and shipping facilities later on, says Jphnson..H ..The same holdsr true, f or : pog' raisers who may . have - hogsj 6o hand now . that.could .be hurried along to "good; size and , finish, by heavy feeding Present -price t tios are such that heavy feeding of a well balanced ration it justi fied and will return, good profits, Johnson believes.

Aug. 14 (AP) (USDA) The Boston wool market continued quiet today. There was a demand for choice fine staple wools at ceiling prices. The government released all stocks of mohair for civilian use. Sales of scoured B pulled wools were report ed at 81.07. Interest in low quarter blood wools resulted in a few small sales at around 90 cents, clean basis. Most Grains Show Gains CHICAGO, Aug. l4MVPrices of most grain futures pointed up ward Friday, wheat gaining al most a cent a busheL but corn sagged about a cent, December and May delivery contracts reaching new seasonal lows. Weakness of corn was blamed on good weather, diminished fat tening of . beef cattle, substantial purchases of grain, to come here from country points and govern ment offerings of feed wheat about on a par with prices at which it will support corn during the coming season. Wheat, on the other hand, re sponded to modest mill buying, a letup in marketings at many terminals and reports from the spring belt of delayed harvest and fear of possible damage because of unfavorable weather, in some localities. Wheat closed hieher than Thursday, September $1.184-V4, December $1.21-$1.20. Install Water Meters SCIO Installation of meters for the Scio water system is in progress by Sup. C M. Cyrus.
