She is pictured here with her owner and her twin calves now five weeks old. In addition to feeding these two, she provides food for two additional calves. (Statesman Farm Photo.) Dairyman Predicts Milk Shortage Due By LILLIE L. MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman MT. ANGEL "Every American has a vital interest in the maintenance of a thriving productive dairy industry," President Eisenhower said recently as he expressed his confidence that the need for finding larger markets for dairy products will be met suc cessfully . . . that in the long run, increased population itself will call for a greater supply of dairy foods than could be met by present production "I think there will be a milk shortage in less than a year," C. J. Berning, Mt Angel milk producer, said, as June dairy month rolled around again. "For one thing, the small producer the man with four or five cows who used to be responsible for a lot of milk, is fast disappearing. Instead he's becoming a buying consumer." Changes Are Many' Berning admitted, in discussing the dairy industry, that he had seen a lot of changes brought into the state in connection with milk since he first started his herd in 1922. "One of these is the milk con trol which I think we would be much better without," the Mt Angel dairyman said. Berning came into prominence in 1950 when Nugget Walker Korndyke, then six years old, won a world-wide dairy record by pro ducing 27,547 pounds of milk containing 1,172.6 pounds of but terfat in 365 twice-daily milking. Others of his Holstein cows had produced records, not covering quite the geographical scope, in previous years. Korndyke is now 10 years old, and has produced eight calves, evenly divided between heifers and bulls. Her latest production is twins, now five weeks old. During her six lactations, Korn dyke has produced 123,300 pounds of milk containing 4,800 pounds of butterfat. She is now being used as a nurse cow, caring for two others in addition to her twins. Dairy Herds Valuable Oregon's dairy herds are val ued at $43,000,000 and bring an annual inepme to the state of $57,000,000. Biggest item in the dairy industry in Oregon is now ice cream which has mounted to a $28,000,000 annual business. More than 6,000,000 quarts of ice cream are manufactured annually in Oregon. There are 17,000,000 pounds of creamery butter made which sold last year for $13,000,000 and 24, 000,000 pounds of cheese with an income of $20,000,000.

ODOR Special Application to Give You Exact - GROj Proportion for Lawn FISH Phone 3-9517 Jtit mm Violet Gi TOlip Gives Culture Information An easy and simple method of propagating African Violets is by offset or division, members of the African Violet Society reported this week. When the divisions are from old er plants which have more than two crowns, separation must be done carefully. The divisions must not be planted too deeply, and the crown roust be free of any covering of soil. Older crowns without roots may be re-rooted by cutting way the older portion of the stalk, and re rooting as leaf cuttings are rooted. When young plants have a -umber of crowns from one leaf, they must be carefully separated before planting. If some of the plants are not large enough to pot up, they should be put back in the peat moss and vermiculite or sand until they are better established. The plants should be set far enough apart so that when they have grown larger they may be lifted out with plenty of peat moss and vermicultie or sand on their roots. Seed pods on African violets take from six to nine months to ripen. When the seed pod has been re moved from the plant and thor oughly dried, it should be planted, experienced African Violet grow ers report, A covered container should be used. The seed should be sprinkled over a mixture of peat moss and vermiculite which has been well mixed and soaked before using. The little plants appear in about two weeks. A well balanced potting mixture for African violets, the expert growers tell, is made of one-third good loam, one-third leaf mold and one-third well-rooted cow manure. Regular feeding of some mild fert ilizer may be used if desired. Suf ficient drainage is most important to keep the soil sweet and the plant healthy. Plants can be grown In any ex posure that affords plenty of light provided protection is given from the hot( burning rays of summer sun. Winter sunshine is bene ficial and will encourage blooming. An ideal temperature has been found to range from 60 to 75 de grees. With a lower temperature j the plant may stop blooming and does not grow rapidly. If the temp ; erature is high and the air too dry tne vioiet win crop its buds, or the flowers will fall off some time the first day. Over watering often results in crown rot. The soil should be slight ly moist to the touch. Never use cold water, is one of the advices of the experts.

We also have watched big Oregon walnuts coming out under a brand which credits California with their production. Not that we blame California for wanting to claim our nice products. We just don't fancy it that way. A lot of us haven't done anything about it but the potato people aren't going to let this hap pen to them. Every sack of potatoes shipped from the interior counties of Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson this coming season will bear a label with the words: "Sunny Central Oregon." This may even surprise some out-of-staters when thty come by a sack of these potatoes. A lot of folk think the sun is all bottled up in California, too, and dis tributed onlv in little doses to other states. All growers in the region, one of the largest producers of pota toes in the Northwest, have agreed to use the newly designed label. Members of the Central Oregon Chamber of Commerce heard plans for the potato promotion at their Tuesday meeting at Bend. A NEW CRIER And not Johnnie Rae. Howard Brown, Dix on, Calif., will be the auctioner at this year's Willamette Val ley Ram sale in Albany on August 7. That's what we heard as we stood around listening to the eaves-droppings at the Satur day lamb show at Rickreall. So long as we can remember. Earl O. Walter of Filer, Idaho, has cried the sale. This has been about 13 consecutive years. We don't know exactly the why for the change but we gathered Earl was tired. It's going to be a big sale to cry, too . . . 155 rams and 63 ewes to be sold. The buyer, too, will have quite a choice of breeds . . . Romney, Lincoln, Corriedale, Columbia, Cheviot, Shropshire, Hampshire, Southdown and Suffolk. MILL CONTROL AGAIN We were interested in a little state ment made by John I. Gale, Canby, secretary of the Oregon Produ cer-Distributor Association. John hasn't been liking the milK con trol law and he has had a lot of company in his feelings along that But John said this week that the association will support the milk control law if certain changes are made in pooling regulations. The changes asked include a modification of the pooling regu . .. i . .,;;.. ,Vii,K "sn unmet tn the raw lations 10 eliminate wie piuvisimu "'"" -" milkJohnJMysthe present regulations put the producer-distributor of raw milk in the position of always paying equalization into the pool but never collecting any. .....

The three major control plans residual spraying, space spraying or poison bating. Two new residual sprays are mathion, approved for dairy barns, and diazinion, a newer chemical which is likely to be approved for buildings other than dairy barns, but on which experiments are not yet completed sufficiently for ap proval. There's no field evidence that flies can develope resistance to these too, such as they have in the case of DDT. Space sprays kill flies on con tact and can stop those resistant to residuals. Most farmers apply every day, but if flies are not abundant, 2 or 3 times a . week may be enough. New poison baits contain mala thion, diazinon and Bayer L-1259. They are mixed with sweetened water, then spraying on dairy-barn floor. Scientists also have tested them as sugar dry baits.

Commenting on the use of Aus trian peas, growers are reporting that as a whole they will not ap ply DDT for control of the pea weevil this year, as they are using their products for feed. Loss in feed value from peas in which the weevil is-not controlled is being stressed. The heavy in festation this year, unless controll ed, will reduce food value by as much as 75 per cent. il was lieved by some growers. Growers are cautioned to check their fields daily, as control ma terials should be applied as soon as the first pods appear. Methoxyclor is the Best material to use when the peas are to be used for feed, but dusting will probably be more expensive with this material than with the DDT. care must be used to follow dir ections on container very carefully.

(Statesman Farm Photo.) i Twilight Time By FARMERS WIFE We've been strongly for most new inventions . . . dish washers, ironers, washing machines with drying equipment attached not that we have all of these, but we'd like to. Now comes a couple of new in ventions which it appears we might get whether we like them or not. The old party line for rural tele phone users that was sometimes jammed with as many as eight sub scribers, appears to be the way out. They have new inventions called the transistor and the solar bat tery that will enable the company to make it possible for many con versations to be carried over a pair of wires without interfering with each other. The transistor performs the same function as the radio tube in cutting out the extra conversation but that's sure to cut us off from a lot of news. Some newspapers advertise "read to day's news today" a lot of times we heard tomorrow's news today, and sometimes got in on some bits that never did reach the newspapers. Of course the scientists tell us that these inventions will enable the company to give better farm telephone service to present sub scribers and to provide new serv ice for those in isolated areas with out phones. The new solar battery invented by the. Bell Laboratories converts sunlight directly into electricity and will power amplifier stations on rural phone lines. Sounds like we might have some trouble in the winter here when sunshine is some times , scarce. . . or can it be stored? Betty Wieman, over in Yamhill County says its June Dairy Month and we all have to figure out some new way to get milk into our sys tem. Try, she says. Cheese Fondue. The recipe she gave us is supposed to serve six people and give 4 cup milk per serving plus almost 1 cup of milk value in the cheese. This is it. Four eggs, well beaten; 2 cups hot milk, 2 cups soft bread crumbs, M pound cheese finely cut (2 cups), 1 tablespoon butter, and a dash of salt. Beat the eggs well. Mix the milk, bread crumbs, cheese, butter and salt. Stir this mixture into beaten eggs. Pour into well-greased shal low pan and bake in a moderate oven for about 25 minutes, or un til set and lightly brown on top. Serve at once. tffi ! I All ALUMINUM FULL LENGTH.
