Polk County
Prune Picking
Quickly Over
Oregon's prune are again har
vested. As a whole growers re
port themselves aa well satisfied
with the yield.
In Polk county, a leading prune
growing district of the state, pack
ers paid drier sjien 12 cents a
pound for dried prune this year
as compared with nine and a quar
ter rents last year.
The prune crop was about 18
per cent larger than the croo in
1945." said Frank Neufdd, presi
dent of the Polk County rTune
Growers asaticiation. In comment
ing on the crop rn his locality.
"Pi imes were of very fine qual
ity in most orcharda, especially
where the tree were sprayed.
These orchards suffered very lit
tle damage from brown rot."
The weatherman played right
into the hands of the prune grow
ers. In mid-September 10 days
or so of clear, sunny weather
brought out an ample number of
prune pickers in all sections, and
the crop was harvested handily.
However, drier and shaker men
wej-e at a premium throughout the
seaaon.
All sections report a speedy har
vest this year due largely to the
weather and more plentiful num
ber of pickers. In Polk county
picking was completed In IS days.
Normally, the crop la harvested
in about 20 dsys.
A shortage of boxes, which has
dogged fruit growers throughout
the state, was responsible for some
slowing of picking.

Dusted Vetch
Yields Higher
Growers Say
The status of hairy vetch dust
ing 14 being closely watched in
Polk county. While so far the
number of dusted lots cleaned and
tested for germination has been
small,' there has been a sufficient
number, says W. C. Leth.; county
agent, to indicate germination
from dusted fields is a greet deal
higher than from undusted one.
In snme warehouses in Polk coun
ty there are undusted .fields is
a great deal higher than from un
dusted ones.
In some warehouses ihi Polk
county there are undusted lots
with ; germinations as low as 20
per cent, and dusted lots are ger
minating as high as 84 per cent.
The average of severs! dusted lots
in one warehouse In the county Is
83 per cent, which is considered
very good, as 70 per cent is all
that is necessary for salami Hy.
Les Weevils
During the week several grow
ers, as well as warehousemen,
were Interviewed relative to the
effect of the dusting program on
hairy vetch seed. and. one ware
houseman reported less than 10
per cent as many weevil in the
warehouse this year than last.
when no dusting waa done. Many
growers report the test weight of
seed is much greater. One Aus
trian pea grower who also used
DOT; dust applied by plane, re
ports 'that he will have less than
one-third the proportion of wee
vily seed this year than he has had
in other years, and he give credit
entirely to the dust and method
of dusting employed this year.
Hatty vetch Is a safe crop to
grow from the market standpoint.
aa the government has established
a 147 purchase price or IZ cents
a pound. ,
Rate Bssdlag
There has been some question
about there being enough hairy
vetch for local seed requirements.
Warehousemen report that at pres
ent there seems to be suffieent
seed. Rates of seeding vary from
five pounds to 25 pounds of seed
per acre, and the proportion of
grey oats in the mixture also var
ie from around 40 to SO to as
high aa 100. Most mixtures and
rate used are the result of each
farmer' experience.
Liming and the use of super
phosphate have greatly increased
seed production on this crop for
many growers, especially on hill
lands and soils more or less red
dish In color.

Expansion of both official and
herd improvement dairy cow test
Ins; In Oregon is badly needed be
cause of the rapidly Increasing
interest in the improvement in
dairy cattle, it was agreed at a
conference of supervisors of off!
rial testing held at Oregon State
college during the week. Seven
full-time supervisors and two
part-time men were called In by
Floyd B. Wolberg, acting superin

The ultimate market for breed

all herd record work. Is expected
to be increasingly important in
the future development of Ore

ed three miles of ditch cleaning
