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. A total of

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. '

OREGON CLAIMS OWN PRODUCT Most of us have watched
good Oregon fruit going into cans bearing pretty California labels.
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

milkJohnJMysthe present regulations put the producer-distributor
of raw milk in the position of always paying equalization into the
pool but never collecting any. .....
He added that the association, at a meeting recently attended
by about 30 producer-distributors, also voted to have the association
act s a pooling agent for any member having trouble with his pool
report to the milk marketing administration.

New Controls
Reported for
Farm Flies
New chemicals for farm fly con
trol can kill even the toughest
strains with generations of bred-tn
resistance, scientists reported this
week.
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.

Watch Field Pea
For First Pods
Growers of Austrian peas in the
Willamette Valley are being re
minded by county extension agents
that controlling the pea weevil is
essential for all peas produced
either for feed or seed.
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.

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.
