Hot Weather Plays Havoc With Valley Fruit Harvest Sun and burning temperatures have raised havoc with the fruit harvest in most .areas of Oregon, according 4o a Wednesday check. Last winter fruit growers were asking for more sunshine and higher temperatures to pull many of Oregon's fruit crops through that winter. Now most everyone is hollering 'turn it down a bit," meaning, of course , the high temperatures of the past 10 days. LixMlng Bailie Reports show than many grow ers have been fighting an almost Farm Income Down, Land Values Up The I'SDA has announced that it will buy canned peaches for school lunches under appropria tions of the National School Lunch Act. Processors in this area want ing to sell canned peaches in this manner, should contact the fruit and Vegetable Division, Agricul tural Marketing Service, U. S. De partment of Agriculture, by Aug. 7 for acceptance by Aug. 10 of this year. State's Dairy Folk Ahead In Records , Oregon dairymen have the jump on farmers in most other states when it comes to simple, low-cost milk production records, Don Anderson, dairy specialist at Oregon State College said Wednesday. A national program aimed at providing simple, low-cost dairy production records has just- been launched, Anderson explains. And this system is similar to the situation now. While Oregon farm Tuesday sour cherry prices had income has been on the downtrend , not been established by some ore' since 1915, Oregon farm land val- gon processors. losing battle.' The cane berries have been getting overripe, with a few showing signs of sunscald and drying on the canes. Pickers in many instances have preferred to go swimming In the afternoon causing labor problems that have been difficult to solve. Trucking these soft berries has been still another problem, and in some cases has caused the processing plant to close down or turn to oth er crops. Reports from processors during the past week indicate that most of the berry crops are finished ior I9.V5. Only a dribble of boyspn berries was received during the past week. The sweet and sour cherry harvest has finished and the only small fruit crop left to go is blackberries. Blackberries will probably continue into August when the harvest of wild ever greens will get underway.

The Oregon Weigh-a-Day plan is a simple record of monthly and yearly milk production, calv ing, and breeding information on each cow and for the herd. These records help farmers feed more economically, cull low producers, and raise replacements from their best cows. In the past, farmer with smaller herds Haven't been able to afford expensive testing and record-keeping systems. In the Weish-a-Da Drofram. a dairyman simply weighs both I milkings from each cow in his herd for one day each month. This is then recorded on the monthly record page. A comput ing table that comes with the guide figures the monthly total, and this is also recorded for each cow. By adding the various columns, I the dairyman gets monthly pro duction totals for his herd, the total production to date for each cow, and yearly herd totals to date. Anderson points out, however, that the Weigh-a-Day system merely supplements the present Standard and Owner-Sampler pro grams now carried on by the Dairy Herd Improvement assoc iations in 30 counties. The Oregon Weigh-a-Day kit provides record space for 32 cow, 12 monthly records, and a yearly summary. Copies, which cost SO cents each, are available at county extension agent offices. Michigan, New York and Wis consin are the heaviest producers ot this crop and because most o( Oregon's sour cherries are marketed in the East, western processors have to be in line with prices established in these leading states, less the transportation costs. Oregon Free Of Oriental Ues edged higher this spring and re now at the highest point on record. Economists give several factors as. the reason behind this unusual aituation. Among these is the be lief that land will be good security in case of inflation or depression. Then, there's the demand of large farmers for more land. A fanner who already owns considerable equipment may make more effi cient use of his machinery and lower his umt costs by . owning more acres. Cities and inHustrip4 ar htivintf tip farm land as they expand. 1 1?,.-. Jf IVftll which tends to hold up farm land J? I llll IVlUHi prices. And in many areas close to cities, people are looking for part-time farms and rural resi dences. Some farm land is in de mand for the timber growing on it. Other lands are in demand for future timber plantings The direction farm land values Is likely to go is anyone's guess, according to the economists. But most land specialists in the Wil lamette Valley said this week that they looked for a downturn in the price of all classes of land. Fruits from The Dalles will be accepted in British Columbia now without fumigation, reports the state department of agriculture. These fruits, such as apples, peaches and cherries, formerly were refused--entry to British Columbia unless fumigated due to Oriental fruit moth infestation, An effective eradication pro gram removed this insect pest from Oregon. Periodic depart ment insect surveys throughout the slate, and particularly in The Dalles area, have found no infes tation in over three years. At a result, the department can certify the entire state as free of the Oriental fruit moth. Such cer tification must accompany all host fruits shipped to British Columbia.
