Agriculture Less Intensified in
U.S., Holland Student Observes
By LIIXIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
Less intensified farming, more
juvenile problems and less pota
toes and more salads on the table
were some of the variances which
Peter Von Lookaren Campagne
said he had noted in this country
comparing it to his native Holland.

Sheep Pinkeye
Ailment Strikes
During Lambing
The disease commonly known as
pinkeye in sheep usually appears
just before or during lambing, ac
cordincto Dr. J. N. Shaw, Veter-
inarisOpregon State College.
It may be seen at other times of
the year, but not as often. Cattle
also suffer from a disease called
pinkeye, but its. caUse seems to
be different from what is known
as pinkeye in sheep. Treatment,
however, is the same.
Pinkeye is an inflammation of
the cornea and conjunctiva of the
eye. The cornea is the clear, front
part of the eyeball; the conjunctiva
is the membrane lining the eyelid
and reflecting back on the eye
ball. Anything that produces im
tation causes inflammation.
Said Contagious
Pinkeye is caused by an organ
ism which the South Africans have
named Rickettsia conjunctiva. Op
inions vary concerning the source
of infection, but it has proved to
be infectious, spreading when dis
charge from the eyes of infected
aheep was placed in the eyes of
well animals. English workers
have found the organisms in sheep
620 days after symptoms had dis
appeared, and believe the disease
also is spread by well sheep that
have become carriers. Some of the
closely observant sheepmen in our
own country believe this, too.
The trouble usually is brought
to the attention of a sheepman
when he notes one or more of
his sheep having trouble finding
their way into a feed shed or
barn. He usually observes scum
over the eyeball. The scum is
White or milky, and then be
comes red. In the most serious
cases ulcers form, and the eye
ball ruptures, causing blindness.
Symptoms Listed
Other symptoms include mat
ted wool below the infected eye,
caused by the discharge swollen
and red lining of the eyelid, and
less healthy condition of the ani
mal because of its inability to
- see. The wool around the in
fected eye should be trimmed.
Pinkeye should not be mistaken
for inflamed eyes caused by oat
hulls which have dropped in the
. eyes from overhead feed racks,
Such inflammation has been noted
in such a large percentage of
the flock at one time that the
condition was thought to be in
fectious, but the trouble stopped
when the method of feeding was
changed. Grain hulls sometimes
have become so firmly attached
to the eyeball that they could
be removed only with forceps.
Most cases of pinkeye recover
without treatment and only rare
ly does a sheep become bund.
Recovery has been hastened.
however, especially in those cases
having severe disturbance or vi
sion, with the new antibiotic,
Chloromycetin, used as a 1 per
cent ophthalmic ointment. One
application was all that was nec
essary in most cases. The oint
ment, prepared for human use,
is put up in small collapsible
tubes containing one-eighth of an
ounce each, enough to treat 20
head or 40 eyes. The tabes are
obtainable co prescription from
your local veterinarian.
Treatment Given
Chloromycetin ointment gives
good results when used for pink
eye in cattle, as well as for sheep.
Some veterinarians have found
sulfanilamide and sulfathiozole
powder or combinations of these
sulfas effective in the treatment
of pinkeye when they are prop
erly prepared and applied by
duster dispensers. Local veterin-
anould be consulted for

sons yet, but when you ask me,
these are the things that 1 have
noted in the 10 months I have been
in your country," the Dutch youth
said in his perfect English.
He arrived in the united Mates
on June 27, 1957, on the foreign
student exchange service. For the
first 10 months he was at Brent
wood, Calif., coming here this
month to spend four months on
the fruit and vegetable farm of
Worth Riley near Dayton. During
his brief stay at Salem he was a
guest of the Oregon Farm Bureau.
Prior to coming to this country
he had attended the Holland Horti
culture College and served his
stretch In the army. It s compul
sory there, you know". . . to which
I answered that it is now com
pulsory here, too. His father is a
potato researchist in Holland.
Peter carefully explained that
the small parcel of land which
Holland could call its own in Eu
rope in comparison to the huge
amount in the United States was
probably responsible for the great
er intensity In farming.
"Our li million people live as
close together as you would have
to live here if the people of the
whole world were poured into the
United States," he clarified.
We see orchards being culti
vated here without any crops be
tween rows. In Holland we plant
caneberries between the young
cherry trees, and strawberries be
tween the berry bush rows," he
continued.
Making More Land
The average farm is less than
20 acres, but a lot can be grown
on 20 acres if land is cultivated
right out to the highways, he said,
as he told that his country is now
"drying out" more land, building
a dyke 19 miles long. A fresh wa
ter river comes in and washes
out the salt, making an island of
fresh soil." Everything is
planned just how much land can
be farmed and how much devoted
to cities. Mechanization is far
ahead in the United States, al
though the fact that some of the
big equipment would be very un
suitable for the small farms is
partially the reason.
He told of the much greater use
of greenhouses, which he called
hot houses," in his country than
he found here. Grafted nut root
stock is grown under double glass,
he said.
"The root stock is grown until
it is one year old, then grafted,
and grown under double glass for
better control of temperature. We
graft in January. The grafts make
15-inch growths the first year and
bear in three to lour years, he
explained.
He found much more plant dis
ease in this country than in his
own,' and because of this he be
lieved chemical disease control
was further advanced.
"We clean our orchards from
every bit of pruning, and culti
vate them until they are 10 years
old then we plant a permanent
covering. But we grow many of
our peaches, plums, grapes and
tomatoes in the hot houses. Our
markets for these are Belgium,
Germany, Great Britain, the Scan
dinavian countries, he continued.
Dairying Biggest Crop
But dairying is the largest sin
gle farm industry, with both the
black and white and the red and
white Friesian cattle the most
popular.
The less juvenile delinquency
problems in his homeland could
be, he said, "because not very
many oi our youths have cars
I've been surprised at the problem
here as I read about it in your
papers. Taxes on cars are high
Gasoline is $1.20 a gallon. And you
don't need them so much. Our dis
tances are smaller at home. Seems
like our youth are busier have
more chores to do. We do more
together as families." he said.
He liked the American food, but
did miss that "you serve a lot of
meals without potatoes. Your sal
ads are much more important
here. We do not use as much pre
pared foods foods that you buy
Sooty Mold
Spring Cure
Claimed Best
The season to control scale and
sooty mold on camellia and other
broadleaf evergreens is here. The
warm spring weather activates
the scale insects and makes them
more susceptible to chemical con
trol.
Malathion Is one of the most
effective control chemicals. Use
2 teaspoons of Malathion emulsifi-
able concentrate (liquid) per gal
lon of water. Spray the plant
thoroughly, especially on under
side of leaves. Malathion is avail
able at most garden supply stores,

Lots of Bulbs Grown
Bulb raising is one of the big
crops and the fields are "pretty
when the tulips .are all in bloom.
But this crop belongs to a certain
section of Holland," he said. Al
though one gathered he was proud
of his home country, he expressed
great interest and admiration for
ours. Only once in our conver

fully, did his natural pride come
to the top: "Holland gets the high
est crop yields per acre of any
country. We do use more fertilizer
and we love our farming," he said.

Farmers Can
Obtain Farm
Depot Loan
Farmers who need additional
grain storage space on their farms
can get 5-year, 4 per cent loans
through the County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Of
fice to finance cribs or bins, com
mittee chairman has announced.
These farmers can also get loans
for mobile crop-drying equipment.
The purpose of the program is
to help farmers obtain more on
farm storage, particularly where
it is needed to enable them to par
ticipate in the price-support program.-
Any farm-operator, share tenant,
share landlord or producer part
nership is eligible to participate in
the farm storage facility and
equipment loan program. The loan
will be made directly through the
ASC County offices. Loans may
be obtained on storage for wheat,
corn, oats, rye, and barley.
While the structures financed do
not have to be used for commodi
ties which are under price-support
loans, they must meet the same
storage requirements. A farmer
may borrow up to 80 per cent of
the cost of new storage bins, cribs,
or other approved structures. The
loan may be repaid in four an
nual installments with the first in
stallment due at the end of the
first year.

Picking Price
Same as 1957
Minimum prices for picking
strawberries in Western Oregon
will be the same as in 1957, as
suggested during a recent meeting
in McMinnville, following reports
by grower representatives from
eight counties.
In areas picking by the pound.
the suggested picking price will be
either 3Vfc cents plus Vi cent bonus
or 4 cents per pound; in areas
picking by the 6-hallock carrier.
the suggested picking price will be
either 20 cents plus 5 cents bonus
or 25 cents per carrier.
The meeting was arranged by
the Oregon Strawberry Council in
cooperation with strawberry asso
ciations and county extension
agents. Marvin Van Cleave, Sa
lem, president of the Oregon
Strawberry Council, presided at
the meeting.
Wormy Peas
Prevented by
Good Dusting
The home gardener is often
plagued with worms in the garden
peas. These worms are the lar
vae of the pea weevil
Wormy peas can be prevented
by dusting with a recommended
insecticide when the pods first
start to form. Purpose of the
insecticide is to kill the weevils
before they lay eggs on the pods.
Once the eggs are laid on the pods,
it is too late to prevent wormy
peas.
Any one of several insecticides
can be used. Included are DDT,
methoxychlor, malathion, and
rotenone. If aphids are a problem,
malathion will control them as well
as the pea weevil larvae.

Ranch Ramblings
By RURAL REPORTER
CENTENNIAL FAMILIES When Centennial Farms in Oregon
come to be added up this summer, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Riches,
Waldo Hills, will both figure in the count.
Their grandfathers took adjoining Land Donation Claims
more than a century ago. Now Bob and Martha (who do not re
member a time when they didn't know each other) are farming
a portion of both- of these claims.
Ten years before Oregon became a state, Bob's pioneer
Kandfather, George F. S. Riches, took his land claim on what
s become known as Riches Road. A portion of this 640 acres is
now owned by five of the claimant's grandchildren. John Riches
of Salem, Misses Winifred and Lois Riches and Robert own the
farm that was their father's Charles Riches, share. Adjoining this
to the sooth is another stretch of the claim, owned and farmed
by Harry L. Riches, a brother. Harry's piece came dowa from his
Uncle Jack Riches and was a portion of the tatter's share of the
claim.
But it is Bob who farms the old home place, and stretching
out across the fields to the north is part of the land which was
the donation claim -of Martha's grandfather, Benjamin Davenport,
who arrived around 1852. The portion of this claim which remains
in the family, now belongs to her mother, Mrs. John Goodknecht,
who was Eunice Davenport.
Bob and Martha farm over 600 acres in Waldo Hills, and the
old homesteads need not go to strangers when these two step out
of the picture. They have a son, another Robert Riches, woo is
15, and a daughter Nancy, somewhat younger.
A large portion of Bob's farming is grass seed farming
chiefly Chewings Fescue.
WE MAKE TOUR The Conservation Week Tour, sponsored by
the Marion County Livestock Association recently, covered con
siderable territory.
The Wesley Webb farm on the site of the old Silver Falls
Sawmill at Silverton -showed besides a lovely home built on the
lake which was once the mill pond an interesting grass silage,
project. Del Fleming, Wesley's brother-in-law, runs the farm
and 60 head of Hereford cattle and five brood sows. One Tam
worth sow had farrowed 16 pigs of which she was raising 13.
At Alois Imper's farm, near Scotts Mills, there were Polled
Hereford cattle and more hogs on pasture. Lotus, sub-clover and
white clovers with orchard grass, made the pasture mixes.
, Traveling up Crooked Finger road, the next stop was at Joe
Beilenbergs, where DuPuits alfalfa in one and two-year-old plant
ings was ready for silage. Lime and phosphate with boron had
been fed the fields to give excellent growth.
Back through Silverton and up into the Silverton Hills
country stops were made at the Victor Hadley and Willard Ben
son farms. Both showed excellent forage stands which were being
used for sheep and cattle.
For the final stop there was the farm forestry management
plots in Silver Falls State Park. Leading the tour were Frank
Gurgerich Silver Creek Soil Conservation district director, and
Hollis Ottaway, Marion County extension agent.
LOSE ANYTHING? If you didn't someone else did. Henry A.
Matschiner, supervising livestock officer of the State Department
of Agriculture, reports that there were nine Oregon fanners in
Marion, Coos, Grant, Douglas, Deschutes and Wallowa counties
who lost 75 cows, 10 calves, one steer and one bay mare. Biggest
loss was 60 white-face cows missing from a Deschutes rancher.
. - .
HE WONT HAVE TO MILK THEM And we'll bet Jim Phillips
thought of that too when he closed a deal this week whereby his
84 head of registered Jerseys goes to Raymond Sampson of
Washongal, Wash. Jim and Agnes (Mrs. Jim) have developed
some enviable production records during the past several years
when Jerseys have been the big project on their farm in the
Bethany district west of Silverton. They have followed the Stan
dard bloodlines in their herd, and Raymond, who is already milk
ing 80 Jerseys and has an 80-stanchion barn, plans to continue
with the same line. The cows will remain on the Phillips farm,
however, for a month or so until another barn is completed on
the Sampson place. Sampson has 240 acres all under irrigation
and plans te build his herd np to 200-milkers . . . following the
modern trend of bigger herds in one place.
Jim and Agnes are turning to sheep and these are what Jim
won't have to milk. He already has 70 head of Shropshires and is
adding to these.
"You can make production records with sheep, too," Jim
says and we'll bet he does. Besides this, he plans to breed to
ward open-faced Shrops ... the only trouble with many Shrops
now is that they get wool-blind. This Jim along with other Wil
lamette Valley Shrop breeders hopes to eliminate.
WOODBURNITE WINS HONORS Herbert S. Coiemans. owner
of the Cartagena Jersey Farm at Woodburn, won national Jersey
honors this week through an outstanding Jersey bull he owns.
Beacon Blossom Basil, has been named a Senior Superior
Sire by the American Jersey Cattle Club. Basil's 14 daughters
averaged 10,082 pounds of milk and 558 pounds of butterfat on a

Cherry Fly
Spray, Dust
Due Now
Commercial and home garden
cherry growers should be pre
pared to spray or dust for cherry
fruit fly control when, the fruit
flies begin emerging from the soil,
reminds County Extension Agent
D. L. Rasmussen. Although no
flies had been reported trapped
under emergence cages so far,
emergence is expected within 7 to
10 days.
When growers receive the
emergence notice, a thorough
spray or dust program should be
started immediately and cotninued
at regular intervals of not over 7
to 10 days until the cherries have
been harvested. Maintaining a
protective spray or dust cover will
kill the cherry fruit flies before
they deposit eggs under the skin of
the ripening cherries.
Programs Lilted
Growers can choose one of 10
control programs. Seven formulas
are for cherries for processing and
three are for cherries for fresh
market. Formulas for processing
cherries are as follows:
1. Three pounds of acid lead
aresenate in 100 gallons of water.
To this material add a commer
cial spreader or a homemade
spreader which is made with two
quarts skim milk and four ounces
hydrated lime.
2. Fifty per cent methoxychlor
wettable powder, 2 (pounds in 100
gallons of water.
3. A Dust containing 15 parts
of acid lead arsenate and 85 parts
of finely divided sulfur (325-mesh
or finer). Apply at the rate of 45
to 50 pounds of dust per acre.
4. A 5 per cent methoxychlor
dust at the rate of 45-50 pounds
per acre.
5. A poisoned bait spray consist
ing of 5 pounds of acid lead arsen
ate and 5 gallons molasses in
water to make 100 gallons of
spray.
6. One quart of perthane emulsi
fiable concentrate containing 4
pounds of actual perthane per gal
lon in 100 gallons of water. Do not
apply perthane within 2 days of
harvest.
7. One pound 25 per cent Di-
azinon wettable powder or 1 pint
emuls, cone, containing 2 pounds
uiazinon per gallon in 100 gallons
of water. Do not apply within 10
days of harvest.
Fresh Market Controls

fresh market can use one of the
following formulas:
1. One quart Perthane emulsi
