Newspaper Page Textat 3 ' - r -: c,t i Mamcln HBaimiilbBiinis When Christmas gets this close, you don't start anything new on the farm unless it" is absolutely necessary. You do the daily chores a bit more leisurely and a bit more thoroughly. You read the pa pers like you do the chores. You pick up and put this and that away which you may not have had, time to do before. You crack ,a few nuts and munch with an apple. You reminisce and you plan. A couple of older farmers rem iniscing this week allowed it was back in '93 that Jim Withycombe, (later governor of Oregon) start ed talking about folk quitting summer fallowing. Jim didn't think this summer fallowing was too good an idea. He thought (and he was then head of the agricul tural experiment station) that a sort; of crop rotation between grains and legumes might be bet ter. He thought too much summer fallowing tended toward soil ero sion only then most folk talked of it as "washing away." Besides that he thought it destroyed hum us in the soil. Summer fallowing in the Wil lamette valley is now almost thing of the past Seeding of - grasses, clovers, vetches have tak en its place. "In 1914, the forage-crop invest! cation started in Willamette val ley and . there followed the im provement of our cropping system quite readily with the develop ment of the legume seed indus try. The present trend toward more livestock seems to work in well with the seed crop. : Prophecies show that our state wide farm income Is expected to go about 13 per cent higher in 1951 than it did in 1950. Of course, the net income may not advance over the 1950 as posts are rapidly advancing, too. , In the later years irrigation has developed rapidly-throughout the Valley. If water is made available by storage, there is no doubt that three or four times as much land - as we are now providing with wa ter may be irrigated. We have fust about reached our maximum limit of Irrigation through pres ent sources of water. They tell us that the water rights requested for our streams are more than actually flow during the low part of summer. If everyone used up their entire water rights, a lot of our valley streams might get to look something like California': during the summer months. , A couple or other farmers as TheyTl Do It Every Time' well as Louie H. Gross, county agent over in Yamhill, has this to offer: This time of the year many live stock men use lounging sheds for their cattle. The use of superphos phate is more valuable than lime in keeping down odors. The super phosphate ties up the ammonia gas that otherwise would escape. Thus it is kept until the litter is hauled to the field. Lime does not per form this second duty and much value of the litter as fertilizer is lost where lime alone is used. Advance notices of the meet ings, indicate quite a trio of topics is to be discussed at the Western Oregon Livestock association's an nual meeting to be held at Grants Pass, January 15 to 17. President Lorin T. Wooddy says that taxes, pasture improvement and freight rates will head out alljother top ics. Stockmen of 14 western Ore gon counties are invited to at tend the conference and all In dications are that Marion and Polk counties are going to be well rep resented, as well as Clackamas and Linn. The Oregon State Jersey Cattle club is working on quite a project. Jens Svinth, who publishes the quarterly organ of the club. The Oregon Jersey Review, is making the spring issue a " sire issue." He is out on a search for the greatest Jersey bulls bred in Oregon. Here in Marion county, Fred Davis, president, and Ted Hobart, secre tary, are assisting in the search. Anyone in Marion county having any idea of a bull which might rate this Who's Who should get in touch with Ted at the Ladd & Bush bank. Over In Polk county George Gentemann, county presi dent, is heading up the project. Folk going down to Scio next May for the annual Linn county lamb show (and there are nearly as many Willamette and Polk county folk there each year as Linn county sheep breeders) are going to be Intrigued by the new Scio Lunch which opened there Saturday. Oddly enough the thing was planned by John Mazachek, garage owner. His wife, known here as Lucille, and his sister, Bessie Jacobsen, are running the place. It's a pretty nifty little place and can accommodate quite a number. Coffee and doughnuts were served free there Saturday afternoon and if it were a farmer friend you wanted to see from that area, you could have found him drinking some of Bessie's and Lucille 's coffee.

The market sold off for fair sized losses during the morning, practically all the selling being attributed to the price ceiling, or der. Later, short-covering, buying on the part of export houses and re-instatement of sold out long positions sparked a rally. Wheat closed V-Vi higher, corn lower to higher, oats Va lower to higher, rye 1 SV4 lower, soybeans Va'IYa lower and lard 30 to 38 cents a hundred pounds lower. Agricultural products were not mentioned In the government's price ceiling order. However, some traders thought it possible ; that finished goods made from agricultural raw materials might come under .the order's provi sions. Many of these finished goods products have advanced since Dec. 1. This would include flour, , made from wheat, which was hiked 20 to 30 cents a hundred pounds today on nationally ad vertised brands of family flour. Loose lard, made from hogs, sold today at $16.25 a hundred pounds compared with $14.75 on Decem ber 1. I ' Traders were not certain whe ther the order applied to these products,- although no specific ex ceptions covering such products . were made. The order spoke of "manufacturers and producers." If these finished goods prices were rolled back, that would tend to put a ceiling over such basic materials as grains, soybeans and ! lard. Daughter of Justice Douglas Engaged WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 -(JPy- Associate Justice and Mrs. Wil liam O. Douglas have announced the engagement of their daughter Mildred to Robert Valentine. The announcement was made at a reception in the Douglas rest denca here yesterday. Valentine, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vey Valentine of Seattle is asso ciated with the Carnation Milk company in Pasadena.

Stock Market arries Rally Past 4tk Day NEW YORK, Dec. 20 The stock market managed to carry its current rally through four straight sessions today after a sharp encounter with the selling forces. Only a feeble rally in late trad- ing prevented tne mantel irom tipping downward for the first time since President Truman put the nation on an emergency mo bilization basis- Confusion over the voluntary price freeze and new war tension brought the sellers out In full force and the result was a ae cidedly scrambled market. Both gains and losses ranged from a few cents to around si.ou a snare. Of the 1,195 individual issues traded, 597 made some forward progress and 356 lost ground. In the preceding three sessions, the proportion of gainers was much higher. However, 112 stocks mov ed to new 1950 highs, while only nine hit the year's bottom.
