But this Is the kind of dairyman that Peter L, Cleary Is. . Also be Is a desciple of Elmer DeeU, widely publicised Clacka mas County gallon-jug dairyman. Cleary believes In selling milk by the gallon Juf 4i bis customers want it that way. The gallon Ju gives opportunity for several price-cuts which make It possible for the smaller dis tributor to stay "to." Was No ramer Cleary. who has lived In and around Salem ever since he was three bad. until two years ago, never lived on a farm. Until April, 1953, be had never attempt ed any type of farming. Prior to MM be bad been ioiiow- ing the controversy on the milk, control law to which admits com ptete aversion. In fact, he said, when I called at his mall dairy farm on Garden Road, Just a few miles west of here, "it just made me bristle all ever." When sellinf Grade A milk in gallon Jugs became acceptable so far as law and public opinion were concerned, Cleary decided that was his life. He sank approxi mately (30,000 into I building and equipment The building is SO by 20 feet concrete block with knotty pine trim. Then he opened his "dairy" with 20 customers.

Jobs Hansen, county tensioa agent The first stop on the tour waa a visit to the Russell Alsip farm, who was named 1951 Livestockman of the Year.

A field of this combination that was paatur ed heavily this spring until the first of April, showed an excellent growth of grass and clover for bay production.

Will'am Domes of Oak Grove showed the tour group a Add of flangeeia subterranean clover, on which he will produce seed yeer. A very lush stand of clover was observed, with an ex ceuem production of seed now forming. .. ,At the Rowland and Son farm, RlckreaH, there was an opportun ity to aee two planting! of Parker lotus, which is a corniculatus type. A planting made hi 1954 on heavy wet soil showed a very good cover and excellent production. A second planting Inade to WW -en some, additional wet Cove clay showed a tremendous growth and nearly perfect stand. Don Rowland and Bill Berndt, farm manager, stated that they had succeeded in obtain ing stands by a straight seeding oi lotus In June on a well-worked firm seed bed. -, Lohis l'd for Paatare - The lotus will be used for hay and pasture production. The group had as opportunity to see beef cattle la feeding pens on the Rowland farm. The cattle are fed a combination of hay and sil age and grain. Rowland reported that weaned calves put in the feed lot last fall, hsd made nearly a two-pound-per-day gain from the time they were put into the feed lot to the day of the tour. . Also on the Rowland farm, the group saw a new type of field ensilage chopper and the use' of aa elevator in filling four silos, rather than the conventional blow er-type implement. On the Ervia Simmons farm, tola Hills, the group inspected a lime demonstration. A strip that this I'ed ii a field last fall show- sub ed higher amounts of production of grain and less killing out in the wet spots than one without lime. The group also bad an oppor tunity to see some steep hillside pastures seeded to alta fescue and eubferranean cloyer In 1954. and a new seeding made In late May of this year which was Just com ing un. On the Simmons farm, a fea This week, for the third time since be opened for business, he baa a waiting list of customers because he hasn't been able to keep up with demand. He ia now adding another 10 feet to his cement block milk house and as well as a new receiving bulk tank and pasturixer with which be hopes to double his week' ly output. He also hopes, he said, to handle too gallons of milk a day when the new addition and equip ment are completely installed. Milk was just coming into the dairy when' we arrived at the plant one early morning this week. It came from six different neigh boring farms, from whirh Cleary takes the entire output. From the farm container it goes directly into an inclosed weighing machine from where it is piped to the pasturizcr; from there to the homogenizer tif h is to be homogenized, which all the milk is not) and from there into the cooler and into the gal Ion or half-gallon jug. The milk leayes the parturlzer at 143 degrees, and seconds later comes out of the cooler into the gallon glass jugs at a tempera ture of 38 degrees. "That's another thing -r those; glass jugs," said Cleary. "Theyj are much less . costly than the paper containers. However, n costs something to get set up with glass jugs." Three Jugs Per CoiUmer For instance, the casual observ er may think that one jug per customer should suffice. Actually K takes three jugs to care for one regular customer. The customer haa one, there's one being return ed and another oq its way out, Cleary explained. I looked at the Jugs being filled beneath the milk -faucets. Just a few minutes later a deep cream line began to form. "We sell it just as it comes from the cows. It is whufo Milk m every sense of the word," Cleary said.

In heavy yielding varieties auch as Golden Delicious, all fruits must be re moved from some spurs or the tree will still have too many fruits. There is a ratio between the number of leaves and the number of large sized fruits that can be harvested from a tree. A tree hav ing sparse foliage must be thinned heavier than a tree having dense foliage. The amount of thinning will vary with the kind of gruit, the variety, and market demands. When there is a surplus of fruit, buyers are more critical of size. In contrast, when there is a shortage of fruit, size is of less importance and less thinning Is necessary.

While observing the sheep on pas ture, Smart explained his pasture rotation program. He tries to ro tate the sheep on pastures in' or der to keep them on relatively clean ground as much of the time as possible to combat parasite Eroblems. The goal on this farm i to drain some of the wetter land and work a pasture rotation com bination with grain and seed crops over the entire acreage, thereby keeping the sheep on relatively clean ground all of the time. The tour waa arranged by a r?te sale's room for selling at the farm, so only delivery orders are taken, Cleary said. We asked if he found the work interesting or just confining. "Both," he said. "Certainly you have to keep going each day we deliver six days a week it is definitely 'steady employment But it is also interesting. When you think you have some problem conquered, another one develops. You are never without some worry in that you are like the dairyman with the cows. But if you work it richt and aren't afraid of the work, there's money in it too." There is also more money -in it" for the farmers who are able to sell to Cleary.
