Popcorn Can Be
Grown in Valley
Growing of popcorn ian't new
in the Willamette valley. It ian't
new anyplace for that matter at
it waa first cultivated as far back
a 400 A-D. And in North Ameri
ca popcorn was raised some 1500
years ago by the "Basket Mak
ers," a race of people living in
the southwest corner of Colorado.
R- E. Fore. Oregon State col
lege agronomist, who is known in
Marion county for his talks on
corn and aa a judge at the Mar
ion county corn show each au
tumn, aaya that an early-maturing
variety should be planted in
the Willamette valley. Some lo
cal open pollinated strains do
rather well here, he says. The
early hybrid Minnesota 250 also
gives fair results although the
yield is fairly low.
Popcorn can be grown almost
exactly the same as sweet corn
or field corn, and the only pre
caution is that it be isolated from
other corn so that there will be
no crossing. ,
JINIOR SHOW PLAN 8 MADE
There will be a new junior fat
stock show for 4-H and FFA
members at the Pacific Interna
tional livestock exposition grounds
in North Portland beginning in
May, 1949. The crowded condi
tions at the fall show last year are
responsible for this change, Wal
ter Holt, P. I. manager, reports.
The usual classes of breeding ani
mals owned by 4-H and FFA
members will be held in the fall.
None of the plans for either the
fall show or new Junior P. I. show
are complete yet.
Dutch War
Victims Like
Oregon Farms
By LJIlie L.
Tmn Editor. Th Statesman
'.'I don't want to go back to
Holland. I am going to stay in
America and marry a farmer,
Corrie Braat, lS-year old blond
native of Holland told me, half
laughingly, half seriously, as we
aat in the -kitchen of her aunt,
Leah Braat, near Dayton.
"I am not joking about the stay
ing here. The fanner well, may
be 111 just be a farmer by myself,-
she elaborated. "I like the
American farm. I do not like the
cities. They are too busy and too
noisy. But I don't want to go back
to Holland. To think of it makes
me shudder."
Her mother, Anna, also blond
and looking not so much older than
her daughter, explained somewhat
wistfully, "You see the children
remember only what you call the
bad part The war years. They do
not remember the peace and beau
ty of Holland before the war. They
saw so many people killed. Rela
tives and all."
"But you, you would like to
go back?" I asked.
"Yes, and no," she hesitated,
lest I misunderstand, thinking she
did not like this country. "I do like
it here very much. But Holland
too la nice In peacetime. I grew
up there and my mother and
brothers and sisters still live there.
I don't expect to go, though. I
said goodbye when I left," ahc

told roe. ?Isaac, my husband, Hkes
it here. He" want a farm Of his
own."
Visited Here la 19 It.
Mr. Braat first visited Oregon
and the Willamette valley in 1919
when he came to see his uncle, the
late Martin Braat and husband of
Leah Braat. The uncle died two
years ago. The Hollander's visit
lengthened into eight years, part
of which were spent on a farm
under lease near Grand Island.
Then he returned to his home
country where he married Anna.
Seventeen years ago, they came
to Dayton for a visit, bringing
with them their year old daughter,
Corrie. But Holland waa peaceful
then and the folks lived there, so
they returned after a few months
here. "They had it nice-. Mrs.
Braat tells, as she described the
home in which they lived, part of
a large estate.
"Isaac likes dairying. Of course,
we had Holxtein and then we had
Ysel cows," which she explained
were red and white Holsteins. She
spoke of them as "lovely". Just
now Uaac works for Dale Fowler,
a cousin, on Grand Island. The
relatives have been very good to
them. But later, not too much later,
she hoped, they could lease a place
of their own. They couldn't buy
any yet. They lost roost of what
they had in the war. The little they
had left they were not permitted
to bring along.
Likes Vacations
"We all like farming." she said.
They came to Dayton from Hol
land just two days before Christ
mas. "And do you like it here.- I
asked eight -year -old beaming
Bennie.
"Ach, yes, I like the school so
much better," he answered fer
vently. "You do? What do you like
about it better?" I asked some
what surprised, having heard
about the excellent Holland
schools.
"Ach. the vacations." he sighed.
In Holland, Corrie explained,
vacations are brief. No two and
three months like here. There Is
much more studying. She herself
had studied English, French, Ger
man besides her native tongue
when she was graduated from high
school there a year ago. Bennie
had already studied English there.
"We have fun, but not so much
fun in school there as you do here,"
she told me.
Adopted Orphaaed Children
The fifth member of the family
is Wim, a brother of Bennie, and
1 1 years old. The two boys were
orphaned during the war and the
Braats adopted them.
"All Holland families did that
to children who were orphaned."
Mrs. Braat explained, adding that
"we think of them just like our
own."
The Isaac Braat home in Holland
waa on the Rhine river. In the first
German front lines. Corrie shud
dered when she spoke of it. None
of the pictures shown here could
be exaggerated, she told. Shooting
of friends and relatives right and
left by Germans was a weekly
occurence. For two years German
officers occupied their home and
they lived in the cellar, eating
scarcely anything other than po
tatoes and beans for those two
years.
'It's fine here," Bennie said
earnestly. "Wim and me we joined
4-H clubs. We got a pig and a
calf. School is fun here. I got
chickens too," and out he dashed
to return a few minutes later with
a handful of small yellow chicks.
Mrs. Braat smiled as she put her
hand on Bennie's head and told
him to return the chicks to their
mother, -I think," she said, "he
will be a farmer. He takes readily
to It. Farming isn't so different
here. You have learned to take
care of the soil, like we did in
Holland. It has to last a long time."
Way to Control-'
Web worms in
Lawns Described
Entomologists tell us there are
three ways to recognize and four
wars to control sod webworms
in lawns.
If brown patches show up in
a lawn, sod webeonm may be
doing the damage, although this
is not always the case.
If the shape of the spots are
irregular, its probably the web
worm. If the patches are very
round, its mostly likely fungus.
The second test is to examine
the grass near the dead areas. If
its webworm, the grass will be
short and uneven where the lar
vae have fed. and wasps and yel
lowjackets might be found feed
ing on the larvae. Also there will
be many adult moths around in
the shrubbery.
To be certain, spray the grass
around the damaged area with
pyrcthrum solution and the web
worm larvae will come wriggling
to the surface.
The best way to control sod
webworms is to mix five pounds
of acid lead arsenate in 50 gal
lons of water and sprinkle it over
the lawn. Only one treatment i
needed, and this amount of solu
tion should cover about 1,000
square feet. The grass will be
poison to anything earing it im
mediately afterwards, it is well
to recall.
Pyrethrum, rotenone or dichlo
roethyl ether solutions can be
used, but the webworms may
come back again after these
treatments.
Cover Crops to
Be Turned Under
Now for Results
Although the wet sipring has
delayed turning under orchard
and caneberry farm cover crops,
this accepted practice is neces
sary for moisture conservation
during the dry summer months,
says D. L. Rasmussen, assistant
Marion county agent. Rasmussen
suggests that farmers knock down
their cover crops as soon as pos
sible. Turning under cover crops
does not mean that every piece
of green matter has to be covered
by soil. It does mean that le
gumes, grasses, grains and weeds
must be killed so that they will
not rob the trees or berry plants
of available moisture during the
summer.
Shallow discing is recommend
ed in order to prevent damage to
tree and berry roots growing
close to the surface. As king as'
the cover crop material is killed
by shallow discing, it doesn't mat
ter if some of the crop residue
remains on the surface, Rasmus
sen concludes.
Pest Control Proves
Difficult This Year
Pest control In home gardens
proves quite a problem with
weather continuing unfavorable
for control. It may be necessary
to use Insect control materials
The. Statesman, Sales, Oregon. Thursday. May 23, 134313
such as the all-in-one dusts . for
various insects such as aphis and
green worms .on cabbage and
cauliflower. These all-in -one dusts
are available from seed stores.
Carrots should be dusted with
3 per cent DDT in the seedling
stage for control of the carrot rust
fly. Six ounces dusted on a. 1 19
foot row Is about' right j
Control of slugs by the use of
a metaldehyde bran bait should
be continued so long as any slugs
are found.
Crass Silage Should
Be Cut in Bloom
Pasture time is silage time.
That's an important statement,
says Ben A. Newell, assistant coun
ty agent, especially for grass si
lage making. The best of methods
and the finest new equipment and
silo will not make the silage any
better than the crop to be used.
Grasses going in the silo should
be cut before they bloom, pre
ferably as the heads come out.
Clover, alfalfa and other legumes
'are cut In early bloom stage. Oats
and other cereals work best when
the grain is in the milk stage.
Sixty to 70 per cent moisture is
ideal. Most crops cut as mentioned
earlier, will need to wilt slightly
to meet the moisture limits. Forty
to 80 pounds of molasses insure
the ensiling process.
Woodburn Cow Makes
Production Record
Foster Farm Peggy, a register
ed Jersey cow owned by Newton
Davis. Woodburn, has completed
a production record of 11,081
pounds of milk and 642 pounds
of butterfat which has qualified
her for the Gold Medal award of
the American Jersey Cattle club.
Farm Peggy's record was made
on a 302 day test at the age of
seven years.
In compiling this record she
produced more than three times
as much butterfat as the average
dairy cow in the United States.
She has also been officially
classified for type by the Amer
ican Jersey Cattle club with the
high rating of Very Good.
HALL GOES TO CONVENTION
S. B. Hall, Troutdale, widely
known Oregon Hoist ein breeder
has been elected to represent the
Oregon breeders at the 63rd an
nual convention of the Holstein
Friesian Association of America,
to be held June 1 to 4 at Kansas
City, Mo.
A BETTER WAY
Better ways of doing things often derelop out of an
emergency. A piece of machinery breaks and in the rush
to got it back into operation, emergency repairs are made.
Because of ths tuns element, the most simple and direct
methods are employed. It is thus that newer and often
better methods are, discovered. In oar 38 years of opera
tlon. wo have learned to solve all sorts of metal fabrica
tion problems. We can put a trailer hitch on your car or
wo r" build the complete works for a modern, efficient
hop-drying system, nut-grading machinery or the) hooting
equipment for a lumber kiln. Growth of our firm and its
volume of business is a direct result ol producing good
metal products and fedx dealings with ths hundreds of
customers we havs served down through 33 years ol
successiul operation.

ashes were themselves burned by ths firs. In this type of

popular wood-burning furnaces for small homes. There
