Dickson Again Brings "Constructive ' Breeder" to Owners Br LUUe L. Madsen Again and again and again . Mrs. C. C Dckson of Shedd has ' gone our president one better. She hasearned , the right to repeat It five times. ' . But ber award is the "construc tive breeder" award of the Amer ican Jersey Cattle ' club; She is the first ' woman in . America to receive this. The first time was five years ago.. Recently it came for -the fifth consecutive time.; - To win this award the owner of the herd must prove that he In this case, she is actually a - constructive breeder and not just , a buyer of good cattle. Mrs. Dickson has owned her milking herd winning this award or more than the required four . years. They were all bred by her. Twenty of the 33 registered cat tle in the herd have been offi cially classified by a representa tive of the American Jersey Cat tle club and made an average type scoring of 85.5 per cent. Making up this percentage was one classified as excellent," 10 as "very good," seven as "good plus" and two as "good." : Mrs. Dickson's herd is widely known as Ashburn Farm Jerseys. , It was started 38 years ago toy J. . M. Dickson & Son. The "Son" then referred toC. C. Dickson, who was very active in Jersey . work, being, shortly before his death, a member of the national ' board . of directors. Mrs.' Dickson v took over : at the time of his death and kept -the herd together. This fall the two sons, James and Hugh Dickson, - bought out the herd, and are now sole owners. Mrs. Dickson herself said this ' week: ""Don't give me credit, for the constructive breeder honors. J. M. Dickson & Son received these awards : - and in truth the , boys have given a lot toward this work and" they mean to continue to run this Ashburn dairy under the same name of J. M. Dickson It Son." : YV vXi-.,:. . But if Mrs. Dickson had fol lowed the practice of so many of the dairies, when help is scarce, there would have been no J. M. Dickson it : Son" Ashburn 4 herd , for the ."boys to buy out." The herd would have followed the cow path of so many 1944 herds via the auction block." " ' ' Oregon Expected to Raise Less Hogs Meat production in 4 1945 will be about eight per cent lower than the large 241' bill ion pounds (dressed weight) output this year, The reduction will largely be due to 20 percent fewer hogs. Oregon Is expected to raise even fewer hogs next year than this. . V I i U mm Wr-l Ti. A group of Ashburn Jerseys, from the herd that won Mrs. C. C. Dickson of Shedd the "Constmctive Breeder" award five consecutive years. -l. ' :.':A:A',r ' i ' Year's Laying Flocks ; Less Than Last October Reports Indicate 1 Laying hens numbered 10 per cent less in Oregon in October of this year than a year ago, a recent report shows. Further reductions will probably show up by January 1, indicating that the poultry in dustry in Oregon is pretty well adjusted to present needs. ' In many states, however, pro duction has not been curtailed nearly so much, and there still may be a large surplus of eggs next spring. The national goal callsfor an 18 per cent reduc tion In laying hens and pullets. it was pointed out at a recent conference of the AAA committee. Availability of DDT Will Be Discussed at Conference in" Washington DC; Mote to Attend One of the first state or federal bulletins in this country dealing with the agricultural use of DDT, is the one just published by the State college experiment station. i ! ! , 'While other methods of control are discussed in this mimeographed publication, the use of DDT either as a spray or dust is shown to be so far superior to any other control yet found that it is the only one recommended as fully effective in the control of the ablique banded leaf roller on cane berries here in the valley. The report is gauged on the ex perience of the experiment station in using the new material on 250 acres of red raspberries n the Gresham area last Summer. At that time enough of the new ' in secticide was furnished by r the manufacturers, with War Produc tion board permission, to permit the experiment on a commercial scale! The use of the DDT, either in spray or dust form, gave prac tically 100 per cent control in all cases. , Whether the material will be available again this year, either for this or other crop pests, will probably be determined at a forthcoming conference in Wash ington, DC, which will be attend ed by Dr. Don C. Mote, head of the entomology department of the State'college. ;' v Cultural practices which aid in the control of this raspberry worm include the removal of all fruit ing canes by March 1, but not be fore November 1. Burning all old canes and other pruned -out ma terial from the berry fields by March 1 is also recommended. About 75 per cent of the hiber- nating worms are found in these old canes, hence their complete destruction will reduce the worm population. " , i 1 If DDT is available, one thor ough application two weeks before the blossom period will give ef fective control, either applied as a three per cent dust, as a spray at the rate of two pounds per hun dred gallons, or as a five per cent oil mixture at the rate of two quarts per one hundred gallons. ; The bulletin, giving full partic ulars, can be obtained from the county agents. , . . ; t . Farm Labor Groups Recommend Return To Standard Time Elimination of war time daylight saving and the return to standard time was favored by representa tives .of 19 of the states 21 farm labor sponsoring associations at a recent meeting called by J. R. Beck, state farm labor supervisor in hte college extension service. i A. - I The Corvallis meeting -was called mainly to determine farm labor needs and make recommen dations for next year. At least as many Mexican, farm workers will be needed to harvest Oregon's 1945 food crops as were used this year, the g r o u p indicated. Its members voted to urge the Ore gon congressional 'delegation to support legislation providing ap propriations to assist in the sup ply and distribution of farm labor, i Beck reported that '5200 Mexi cans and more than 600 Japanese evacuees were used in the Oregon harvest this year. - Ceilings on Hogs to ' Remain About Fixed j Prices of slaughter cattle in 1945 are likely to remain at 1944 levels, but may ' decline in 1946. Hog prices probably will be, or close to ceiling levels. " Brazilian to Study Dairies In Polk County 1 1 Euclidesi Martins, staff member of the Lavras college of Agricul ture in Minas Geras, Brazil, will study dairying in Polk county for approximately two months. Polk county agent's office with Its head, Walter Leth, will be hosU for the distinguished visitor. Martins was selected by the col lege and the government of Brazil to take nart m an extensive inter continental program between the South American countries and the United States.' He is one of 14 men from! Brazil studying in this country. . I , , Mr. Martins is spending consid erable time actually working on dairy farms. He has already spent time on the niff Jersey farm near Independence, and is scheduled to spend a week on the Jack DeJong dairy near Balls ton. In addition to working in the dairies he will visit many others with Mr. Leth. He has also sched uled some time with the Farm Security administration of which L. C. Brandt is head, with the Na tion Farm! Loan association,. Pro duction Credit corporation and Smith-Hughes agencies. While Mr. Martins has been in this country less- than four months he has already learned, to speak American very well, states Mr, Leth. He is scheduled to talk to the Dallas . chamber of commerce on December 22 at the noon lun cheon. i Mr. Martins has been teaching in the field of plant pathology' in his home college. But when he re turns to Brazil he will work for the federal government In the ca pacity of extension j dairymen in addition to his regular plant path ology work.' i . Martins is 28 years old and is very much interested in athletics having been an outstanding track performer! in his college days. : In January he will spend some time at Oregon State college- and after that; at Washington, DC, be fore returning to Brazil. Light summer cultivation' just often enough and deep -enough to control weeds, Is the. recommend ed practice, but the Everett Shib ley prune orchard , at Springwater (Clackamas county) has not been plowed or cultivated for the past 20 years and this is one of the best bearing orchards of high quality fruit in the county. Everett, as his father did before him; makes a practice of pastur ing the grass in the orchard with sheep. It is doubtful if the sheep leave much more fertility than they destroy by eating the grass, but the trees bear consistently and that, after alt, is what the orchard -ist wants." ; -!.. Trees feed in the top few inches of aoil, f or it is her that the tiny feeder roots find humus or de cayed organic matter which is nat ural plant food. A little reasoning will show that deep summer cul tivation destroys these feeder roots and In addition allows topsoil moisture to escape. Even if the roots were not destroyed the plant food found in this topsoil is ren dered unavailable and may be de stroyed because of , the loss of moisture .occasioned by continu ously stirring the sofl. ;" A light plowing : or disking to destroy cover crop growth in the spring followed by very shallow summer cultivation to destroy new weed . growth is believed quite sufficient.
