Many of the new varieties are almost completely stringless and more desirable, Dar ley pointed out. Neither Weather Good E. G. Fuson at Aumsville, who has crown beans for 15 years. planted Blue Lake 231 this year and has had no trouble at all. in Dite of loosing about 10 ton of beans Sunday and Monday because of the weather which hastened their development too rapidly, Fu son expected around nine ton. to the acre. He Is growing 18 acres ef beans this year, he said. Mr. Fuson, like other bean grow ers, while they did not approved the extremely not weatner, nei hr riit thev like the rain which began falling Tuesday. "The beans keep on growing and we can't get them picked in rain, Fuson explained. "We have four grades of beans and when they get beyond this we have to cull them.

Meantime, the fall seeded rows have produced an aggrevated Grass Planting In Rows Not Good in Fall If you've fall eras row clan tines In mind for seed production, save your seed until spring. .. . Do not fall seed grass In rows, warns Rex Warren, Oregon State college extension farm crops spec ialist, who adds that fall seeding 01 grasses in rows ior seed pro duction usually, results In a ser ious weed problem the following spring.' .Oregon seed producers: he says. are gradually , becoming aware of the fact that row seedings of alta fescue and creeping red fescue, for example, sreauy increase second end third seed harvest yields. Solid ana row plantings will not vary greatly in yields the first seed year, but succeeding harvests may yield as much as 100 per cent more seed irom tne rows. Weeds Come Fast ; ry xau seecunff crass in rows. the specialist says, volunteer grass es, weeds and legumes will come into the field. Because of normally wei spring weamer, it WU1 be vir tually impossible to get onto the fields early enough with equip ment to cultivate or use selective spray materials. Fall row plantings are also fre quently difficult to cultivate the xoiiowing spring, especially heavier soils. Neither alta fescue nor creeping red fescue will make an econ omical, seed crop the first year. 1 r 7 i i Y With lata summer and early fall approaching, flies in places with out control measures are on the In crease,' R. W.Every, entomology specialist at Oregon State college reports. . - There are flies which have de veloped a resistance to DDT, Every adds, and for these there are new Insecticides which are now. recom mended. Every points out that while, there are many species of flies found around homes, in barns. or on livestock, only thehouseny is known to be resistant to DDT. DDT is still recommended for housefly control, however, and in many cases Is proving very satis factory. DDT Is not recommended for use in dairy barns or on dairy cattle. Methoxchlor may be used Instead. . . Houseflies resistant to - one in secticide may become resistant to others. The USDA Bureau of En tomology and plant quarantine also recommended lindane as a residual spray for fly control inside dairy barns. As a residual spray, use 10 pounds of 23 per cent wettable Dowder to 100 gallons of water or one-half pound to five gallons of 1 tl -1 U 1 A 1 41 A waver. 11 snouia w uuicu pi,,,j. vi. .... , . . .. . lindane at this concentraUon " IITJLT" .1 r.Jl" 'r"2 wcwi eoors wedaesday should not be used on livestock. Shady Deal Gets Okay for Cattle People may make It point to stay away from' shady deals, shady businesses and shady habits. How ever, cows like shady places. In fact, a shady pasture is a good place for a cow to be, says Hoard's Dairyman. Usually we do not realize the Importance of shade in the pas ture until hot summer days cause cows to spend several hours each day near buildings or next to .their water supply. When cows do this they are missing out on the grass they should be getting: v Many specialists say that It la an excellent idea .to plant some trees along the fence lines of per manent pastures. The trees will provide natural shade so that dairy cows will not suffer from tho heat. Their shade will be in the pasture, close to the feed supply. ' American elm, maple, sycamore. poplars are among the good trees to use. They are hardy and grow comparatively fast. Fence them in to keep them from being trampled and stripped of their leaves when young. , -A.- 'Aluminum Roof Tips Given by . ists Fertilizer Types Have Many Uses There are four types of nltroeen fertilizers for use with field crops. Most 01 them have different uses and should be applied in different ways, says Ohio Farmer. The four types are nitrate nitrogen, ammon ium nitrogen, a combination of nit rage and ammonium nitrogen, and amine nitrogen. , The ammonium and amine forms are best for plowing down in the spring. They do not leach in wet weather. These two forms should also be used for fall plowing under. At planting time, it is best to use the nitrate or ammonium forms. For top dressing, ammon ium, nitrate or amine forms may be used. Most crops will benefit from the ammonium and nitrate forms. Be a little more careful with tne amine form of nitrogen than wiu tne rest, it should not be an- piiea eiose to seeds or plants in concentrated amounts. Special to prevent galvanic action or corrosion, keep alumni um roofing, aiding, gutters, and flashing from coming in contact with such other metals as copper, steel or lead. This building tip is from M. O. Huber. Oregon State college exten sion agricultural engineer. Where contact Is impossible to avoid, he recommends that the aluminum and other metals be separated by thick coating of asphalt to pre vent corrosion rrom taxing place, The .warning also applies to Oils. ' . Huber says they should be driv en deeply into the wood to avoid the danger of contact. Where aluminum is used over eld roofing, a layer of saturated as phalt felt, or nailing strips horiZ' ontaiiy on tne oia roor is recom mended to keep the new roofing zrom coming in contact with old and loose nails. Aluminum is available in var ious thicknesses. For examnle. 24 U.S. standard guage is 24 thous ands of an inch thick, while 28 UJS. standard gauge is 19 thous ands of an inch thick. Since gauge numbers may be confusing, Huber suggests that sheet metal roofing of any aand be ordered by thousands ef inch thickness rather than by gauge. : Even on new applications where tight sheeting is used, use of as phalt felt is recommended. Fin ally, Huber suggests that vegeta tive material such as leaves be kept cleaned out or aluminum gutters to prevent corrosion from taking place, .

Progressive Farmer suggests thai you buy heifers instead of adult cows. This is also a good idea for farmers who want to work into the dairy cattle business. While buy ing heifers means a loncer wait for-the first calf, it also means less cash money tied up in cattle, and gives a farmer the chance to select his own sire. It was also pointed out In the report that the USDA also recom mends chlordane as a substitute insecticide for use on outside wall surfaces where other materials are not dvina desired results. The percentages of many or these materials varies, so It is well to follow . the directions on the labels for making the desired con centration of spray. - Pyrethrum sprays give good Immediate knockdown of flies but do not have a long lasting residual action; They are safe to use in dairy barns or on dairy cattle. Marion Tops Other Oregon Counties In Cow Numbers Marion county Is first In dairy cow numbers over all other coun ties in Oregon according to figures received from the Oregon college extension division. Marion county numbers about 18,000 milk producers. Tillamook, the dairy county of the state, is second with Coos county third. Both of these other counties had more than 13,000 head. Eastern Oregon's leading dairy county is Malheur with only a thousand dairy cows less than Coos county. Dairy products sold by farmers In 1949 brought $35,357,000 to Ore gon dairymen. This was 15 per cent of the state's total farm in come. While Guernseys have begun to give Jerseys a close race in Oregon, the. latter still lead with about 100,000 against 75,000. morning' is amx U.

Gourt.Denies Injunction for Ballot Issue Attackers of an Initiative meas ure for Oregon legislature reappor tionment were denied, for the present, a preliminary injunction against its ballot appearance, fol lowing a hearing Wednesday in Marion county circuit court. The case was taken under ad vlsement by Circuit Judge George R. Duncan, with a decision expect ed soon. The suit was filed recently by State Rep. Alex G. Barry of Port- are filed. iana, seexing to enjoin the sec retary" of state from such certifica tion. Other defendants are the committee for balanced reappor tionment and its executive secre tary, Freeman Holmer of Salem. Barry alleged the initiative peti tion was "legally Insufficient" be cause it actually contained three separate constitutional amend ments. The defendants demurred to the complaint Wednesday on grounds that the circuit court lacked juris diction for the suit and that the cpmpaint failed to state facts suf ficient for suit. Defendants held that the ballot title in question already had been approved by the state supreme court in a recent case and that appeals from such titles should be made within 20 days after titles OREGON'S GREAT S T A T E FA I R T SEPT. 4-10 STARTS LABOR DAY Prize Livestock tion on Exhibl- 4-II and FFA State pionsbips Cfaa Rodeo and Horse Show Every Night Horse Racing Daily Water Follies of 1950 --Gigantic Aquacade and Stage Extra vagansa Free Midway Attractions ADMISSION 50c (Fed.

C Brock -ob served their 38th wedding anni versary Sunday by attending the Marlon County Jersey cattle club meeting at the William Vogt home near Salem. The Brocks received a big hand from the entire club of which they have been members for a number of years. The Robert Clarks of Eugene were visitors at the Marion county Jersey club .meeting Sunday. But the Clarks arent strangers here. They were active members for number 01 years. Now they are raising chinchillas on their Eugene acreage. Bob says these little an imals sure have one advantage you don't have to hurry home In mid-afternoon to milk them. The Clarks are also building a fine new home near Eugene. Jersey folk were wondering if that was a sign they were thinking about moving again, it is recalled that when the Clarks lived near Chamnoea they moved as soon as they had their lovely new home there completed. Jersey cattle club members, how ever, did enjoy a picnic before they moved. Now they are threatening to go down to Eugene to see if the Clarks can't be shooed back into Marion county again. . Fred Sailer of Molalla, may har vest three acres of New Zealand white clover this month, but Wal ter Hardy. Kusseivnie (also in Clackamas county) had to put his up for hay, only he won't have any hay. Here's the way Walt tells It: My sheep like this clover so well that I found it Impossible to fence them out They broke in and nib bled most of the clover blossoms. So I cut the crop for hay. Before I could haul the bales to the barn, the sheep again broke into the field and ate most of the hay. So I won't have any hay. I am plant ing an additional acreage for next year : ; . - - C. E. Gordon planted four Eunds of orchard grass per acre Et August along with alfalfa on the Ralph iniKette farm on Eilers road Just north of the Wilsonville ferry. For some unknown reason in oculation of his alfalfa was far from perfect, and this field was quite weedy , this spring. He de cided, however, not to plow it but cut tne nrstcrop for ensilage. Inoculation is now apparently spreading from plant to plant and orchard grass plants are bringing weeds under control. The field looks quite promising. Inclusion of 4 pounds of orchard -grass or alta fescue with alfalfa: looks like- a good Idea. A good grass with any legume adds to both quality and quantity of forage produced.
