)
While I got busy on my straw
berries, coffee and home-made
sugar cookies which Mrs. Shif
ferer had set before me, in real
farm hospitality fashion, 1 asked
Mr. Shifferer to "bring me up"
on the history of his farm opera
tions. jonn Shifferer. 1he First (so
far as this history goes into the
family), moved with his family,
onto this farm a few miles south
of Turner, on Oct 11, 1893.
Came (2 Years Ago
I remember the date real well.
e"ilt was my fifth birthday," Shit
Jtcrer (John the II) said. The
family came from Elgin, 111.
"There was just a little old
house up here," he went on. (We
were sitting in the Shifferer din
ing room where a view window
gave up a beautiful panorama of
the valley, clear across to the
Cascade ranxe and its mountain
peaks. We had followed a little
gravel road from the highway be
low, to get here.) Forty-five years
ago, the Shiffcrers built their
first bouse on the hill top. The
present house, of 1928 vintage, a
good, roomy house, was built for
the second and third generations
of Shifferers.
The home place has 96 acres.
To this has been added further
operations, including 180 acres
of low-land on which now lives
one of the sons, Carl, a third gen
erationer. And in addition, the
83 acres of a brother and sister
of John Shifferer, the Second,
have been included in the opera
tion. In addition to Carl, Ruber;
is in the John Shifferer L Sons
project.
"Years ago we set out a wal
nut grove on the hillside. It was
beautiful. After seven years, we
got our first small crop all jum
bo nuts. Then that Oct. 31 frost
hit us. The trees were so badly
injured, that we had to remove
most of them. Italian prunes
have been on of our top crops
here. We took 40 years of prunes
off our first orchard. Some of
these trees were replaced 15
years ago, but there is still one
acre of the old 45-year orchard
left and this gave an excellent
crop last year. So long as I man
age this farm there'll be prunes
on it, Shifferer said.
More Prunes Planted
We went out to view the trees.
They which included a 15-year-old
orchard looked excellent.
Promise of a very fine crop
showed. ' Over the hill apiece,
Shifferer told us "a really pretty
orchard" was growing. In it, the
tret's were just pine years old
and in their third year of bear
ing. "Those trees in this last orch-
ard are really good. They've
been brought up right from the
i beginning," their owner claimed,
.M.P,ined ,?!atu'e?r ag0
raisiig we do now A we
tried to do was push the trees
we didn t think of long term
bearing." Forty years? That look
ed like comparatively "long term
bearing" to me.
But even the older trees had
been cover-cropped in recent
years and this gave them new
life, I was told.
"Some of you farmers don't !
think of cover-cropping as rota-
"But actuallv if vou cover-crop
properly, which Mr. Shifferer
does, then vou have crop rota
tion and your soils are built up
even in orchard lands," he con
tinued. "Mr. Shifferer used ni-tro-prills
on his cover crop in the
prune orchard, and so fertilized
:hrough the cover crop."

There's a Trick
To Gelling Milk
Out of Cows
How do you go about getting
your cows ready for milking?
Wisconsin Agriculturist and
Farmer says the recommended
practice is to wash only one cow
ahead of the machine, instead of
going down'the line and washing
all of them. But you'll actually
be time ahead.
Research has shown that a
hormone made in the cow s pilu-
j Hary gland helps speed up the
milking process. This hormone
contracts the muscles that force
the milk out of the cells where
it's stored in the udder.
But the hormone only does this
work for a few minutes. If you
wait too long the stimulation
caused by the warm water has
worn off and you're right back
where you started. "

Hen Disease
Problem of
Veterinarian
Dr. L. E. Bodenweiser, a vet
erinarian for the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, was recently
designated to spend his entire
time On poultry disease problems
throughout Oregon. Formerly Dr.
Bodenweiser spent a portion of
his time on poultry diseases and
the remainder on general live
stock disease control.
Dr. K. J. Peterson, state vet
erinarian for the department,
made the appointment because he
believes Oregon's multi-million
dollar poultry industry needs
the assistance of a full-time vet
erinarian from the department
veterinary staff.
In working with the poultry in
dustry, Bodenweiser will visit
poultry ranches, hatcheries, broil
er operations and processing
plants. He will also work closely
with the Oregon State College
diagnostic laboratory in poultry
disease problems. Bodenweiser
will be available to assist practic
ing veterinarians in diagnosing
and treating poultry diseases.
Bodenweiser has three years
experience with a large midwest
poultry producing manufacturer
and 17 years general veterinary
practice in which he handled
large midwest poultry and turkey
flocks. He has been with the
agriculture department about
year.

War Waged on
Soil Root Pests
Fields and garden pests that

rapid expansion of underground
chemical warfare by growers of .

specialty crops.
Chemical control measures this

destructive pests with soil fumi

ranging from hand-operated guns
to tractor-drawn applicators.
