Statesman, Salem, Ore., Thurs., Feb. 21, '57 (Sec. II)-H Farmers Wary of Putting Wheat Fields Into Acreage Reserve Plan Ry I.II.I.IE L. MADSEM Firm Edllor, The 8tatesmaa Farmers arc being a little skit tish about entering the acreage re serve and removing wheat from plantings. Mnnon County's wheat reduction to dutc is only between one and two per cent of Diamines not near ly what was expected or hoped for according to the county agncul tural stabilization and conservation committee, headed by Karl K. Johnson. Sign I p Slow "Of course," Johnson said Wed nesday, "the farmers have until March 8 to sign up, but we had thought that many more would have signed up before now." John son said they had had no informa lion as Jo national "sign-up" per centagos, but press indications are that these are also slow. The acreage reserve calls for nnp.vr.ir mntrnrtc nnH i ft.ntni-AH only in the "reduction of wheat. Johnson explained. Good news for growers of bar ley and oats is contained in re cent announcements of the USDA, according to ASC committee mem bers. Support prices have been estab lished on this year's crop of bar ley and oats $t 70 per cent of pari ty. There had been some ques tion as to whether these grains would be supported this year. The announcement came in time. John- ion points out, to enable farmers Grain Weed Controls to Be Described Weed control in grain, legume crops, grass, and corn will be dis cussed at a weed meeting sched uled for 1:30 p.m., Thursday, at Mayflower Hall, Salem. County Kxtension - Agent Hollis Ottaway lays that time will be allocated to special weed problems such as Canada thistle and the creeping weedy grasses. . IJex Warren', Oregon State Col lege extension farm crops special ist, will lead the discussion. Sev eral new weed chemicals are now available for both selective and non selective use. All of these,' however, have certain character istic! that require special appli cation procedures. Soil sterilants are' important on several weed problems. In addition soil sterilants can keep both grass and weed growth down around buildings and roadside; thus eli minating fire hazards. Park Avenue to Have First Park NEW YORK. Feb. 19 on-Plans for "the first park on Park ave nue" are underway. It will be a half acre fronting a new sky scraper at 375 Park Ave., with tools, pink granite flooring, mar ble benches and exotic trees.

L, RASSMl'SSEN Marioa County Exteswloa Agent Bartlett pear trees rate a close second to peach trees in requiring annual pruning, if the gorwer ex pects quality fruits. Bartletts and peaches are also similar in that more wood is re moved by annual pruning than is necessary for sweet cherries prunes and apples. Fruiting habit is a major differ ence aflccting pruning methods necessary for peaches and pears Peaches are borne on lateral fruit buds formed on one-year-old wood Pears are borne on fruiting spurs each of which may be several years old. Pruning of peaches is essentially a replacement of wood that has already fruited, by wood that is one year old. Pruning of Bartlett pears In volves more thinning out nnd some heading back to allow light pen etration, minimize mechanical in jury to the tree and enable the grower to maintain healthy fruit ing spurs throughout the tree. Until it comes into bearing, the Bartlett pear has a compact, up right growth. Pruning during the non-bearing years should consist in selecting three to five main scaffold limbs. In addition, prun ing can help spread the limbs out ward and upward. After the BartWt eomes Into bearing, the weight of the fruit gradually spreads the scaffold limbs. However, snnual sucker growth is always a problem in a healthy pear orchard. How to, nan die suckers depends largely on their location in the tree. Suckers are removed if they sre close to the main trunk where they have no room to grow. If on the sides oQthe tree, they are either thinned out or headed back. If in the top of the tree, some are re moved, some are headed back and some are' left untouched, de pending on location. Another sug gestion in pruning Bartlett pears is to replace old spurs, gradually, with new spurs. Best quality fruit is produced on younger spurs. Cattle Pest Dusting Now. Due in Valley Parasites -on livestock concen trate during the winter months. Demonstration dust treatments on cattle and sheep in Marion Conn ty this winter are showing results now. farmers say. Chlordane dust used at a I per cent strength on Hereford cows at the Adam Hersch farm at Salem showed good louse control on the biting variety. Young calves had a few lice yet this week. Malathion in a 4 percent dust on yearling calves, gave satis factory control. Lice on Holstein steers at the Herb Kelso farm at Woodburn were numerous in early January, Following a one percent Lindane dust, no biting lice could be found but there were small numbers of sucking lice. Dieldrin dust applied to sheep at tne Harold Larson farm. Silver- ton, and Ernest Andres and C. R. Starr flocks at Woodburn." did a good. job. Careful examination of thirty ewes and lambs showed only four live ticks left from a starting heavy population. Dieldrin lasts long enough to kill the eggs and larvae too. Methoxychlor did not do a satis factory tick control job. Approval Given Common Ryegrass For Conservation volunteer stands as well as planted stands of common rye grass have been approved as eligi ble cover for the conservation re serve portion of the soil bank pro gram in Linn County, according to a decision of the Linn County ASC committee. George L. Koos, committee chairman, said this means that farmers may set aside land with an established stand of common ryegrass or other approved cover as their conservation reserve acre age under a three, five or 10 year contract. The farmer will be required to maintain the stand of common ryegrass or other approved cover, prevent- the-spread -of specified weeds, and will not be permitted to harvest or graze the acreage during the term of the contract. The farmer will receive $13 an acre a year. James A. Bland, composer of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny,"' was born in a suburb of New York City. Front r Dlvisioa ? 1 1 o Ranch Ramblings By RURAL REPORTER WAR AGAINST THIEVES Christmas may seem quite a spell away from right now, but Willamette Valley tree-owning farmers are preparing now for next season's war against steelers of Christmas trees. . We get around to a lot of meetings particularly this time of the year and we've heard a lot of griping from farmers but this is certainly legitimate gripe this one about Christmas tree thievery. Ralph Hardy, a Clackamas farmer just south of Molalla, said this week that he loses from 20 to 30 trees each year. These trees are some he has pruned and raised for sale. They sell tor 11.25 on the farm. Other farmers report the same thing. Ralph, in commenting on the practice said: "City property own ers would become real indignant shrubs from city homes, especially if this became an annual event." Another farmer, whose name we'll withhold, said that he was at a church Christmas party where the committee members told about what a time they'd had getting "by the farmer's house without being seen with the big tree they d selected. Well, anyway, there's going to be. some patrolling and prosecuting come next Christmas time and church members will not be excepted, farmers say. . - GOT TO TREAT THEM RIGHT Rotatloa and permament pastures, especially la Willamette Valley foothill land, can't bo expected to produce anything like satisfactory yields without an nual fertilizer applications, according to J. J. laskeep, Clarkamas Couaty Extension agent. John quotes Everett Shibley aad son, Elwla, who have a very successful pasture, program.- Say the two: "Our soil, like a lot of other. Is larking Ii phos phorous and limestone. All of our pastures seed more thaa one application of fertilizer each season. "It has beea our custom to top-dress our alla-feseue-oubrlnver fields with 200 pounds of 10-20 each fall. Just prior to the first fall ralus. We repeat this operation as soon as we ran get on our fields after Jan. IS and again la April or evrn up to the first of May. - - "This adds up to 000 pounds a year. We graze our pastures heavily until about the first of May. The we tura .our animals oa outside pasture and allow our heavily fertlllzrd fields to grow for hay. This results In delayed maturity of our grass so we do aot cut for hay until after July 4 when good hay weather Is ex pected. The average yield Is about three tons per acre.!! Everett adds that he formerly ased three tons per acre of limestone ou fields aot recently soli tests show the need of 4 to I that amount." ANOTHER GREAT DECISION to decide whether he will spend cold cash for fertilizer for pastures or for hay for the animals, or sell a certain number of animals a little before he planned to. Without fertilization, according to John, most lands will not produce enough roughage for the animals raised. But, he adds "have your soil tested!" o THERE'S ANOTHER WAY OCT With taxes going up and fertility of soil going down, there's suck aa Idea as planting some of the hillish land Into trees under the aew ronservatloa and Soli Bank programs. You hear the answer to this "That I woa't live to see the harvest." ... . . . Naturally this depends a little upon how old yea are when you start In. If you are drawing social security and not doing much heavy farming anyway, remember these two points: . 1. Growing timber adds to the saleable price of the area on wkleh H Is growing. The older tha growing stand the higher the value. Z. H properly planted and eared for.' the owner may take the thlnilig as Christmas trees la eight or It years. Thlnalag for pulpwood may bo takea out la about M years. It certainly Is a program to be Investigated tf ye are of those fanners who work off the farm and constantly, complain -that, "nobody )ust Bobody can make a Uvlig on the. farm any more" ... If you are one of the farmers who do ekay.lwho don't complain, who have a alee heme aad televlsioa and a good ear Just keep oa fanning. The country really needs yoa ... we say. . O 0 o ' . .. DAIRY CATTLE IN THE NEWS-Orville L. Brown of Woodburn, tells us he' sold his registered Guernsey sire, Brownies Farm Andy, to Aubrey D. Hanna. Olympia, Wash. This animal is out of Donald D.'s Nancy Ann, with an official production record of 10.09S pounds of milk and 566 pounds of fat. He was sired by Northern Prince Douglas. Over at Mt. Angel. C. J. Burning has a Holstein, Nugget Tritomia Florence Segis, which has joined the 100.000 pound club. Segis has now produced 100.863 pounds of milk and 34,41 pounds of butterfat in her 2.483 days of milking on official test, and she's still going strong. Boron Must Be Given in Small Doses A little goes a long way when it comes to using boron in legume fields, but that pinch is important, according to experience of farm ers. The 1956 soil boron tests from Marion County showed that 78 per cent were low in boron. Red clover and alfalfa fields have responded especially well to boron, but other legumes also need this minor plant food. Oregon State College Extension Soil Specialist Dr. Tom Jackson suggests that one and one half pounds of actual boron or fifteen pounds of agricultural grade borax be used annually on perennial leg umes. One easy way of applying boron is to use borated gypsum. Certain precautions are impor tant relative to boron applications. Do not use boron if beans or other crops sensitive to boron are to be planted. Since boron in heavy quantities is a soil sterilant, ex cessive applications may reduce yields of many crops.

Farm flock owners will find that -feeding ewes extra well after lambing will pay dividends in better lambs since it is the mother's milk that really makes the lamhs fat, according to Ben . A. Newell, county extension agent He points out that the feed re quirements of a ewe giving milk arc nearly 50 per cent higher than -they are up until lambing time. Kor this reason the main job after lambing is to feed the ewes so that they will give as much milk as possible. One suggested ration, Newell said, is to feed the ewes good, bright alfalfa hay and one-half to one pound of oats per ewe per day. If oats are not available or -too high in price, substitute bar . ley or heavy screenings. A mixture of grains such as mill run. oats, or barley in equal amounts by weight is a ' good ration for ewes when they are getting all the alfalfa hay they will clean up. Beet pulp or silage, if available, may be used to sup. . plement this ration. Extra feeding of the ewes can be discontinued as soon as good pasture becomes available, Newell said, but in the meantime they must be fed well to maintain milk production. Creep feeding lambs as soon as . they will eat will help get them to market early. Mixtures of SO per cent barley, .30 per cent oats, SO per cent peas and 10 per cent molassses make a good lamb supplement; No wonder more women read the Ladies' Home Journal... it's Don't miss the March issue... 240 pages, the biggest in six years!
