Farmers arc being a little skit

Mnnon County's wheat reduction
to dutc is only between one and

committee, headed by Karl K.
Johnson.

"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

Pear Trees
Need Pruning
For Fruiting
By D. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Ewe Feeding
Said to Help
Lamb Growth
. 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
