Camp Adair Lands Come In for Report , Polk County Wants Farms Back on Tax Rolls; Report Lengthy The land use committee from Polk count has submitted an in teresting stud ft Camp Adair. Says the report: . The' Camp Adair area should be deposed of for farming im mediately, but not until made as safe as possible for farming ope rations. Every sales instrument should have written clearly on it that the area has been used for military purposes, and is possibly hazardous for farming operations; The government should provide detection equipment end men to operate it under the supervision of each farm purchaser or ope rator, in order to further safe guard purchasers. Provision also should be made to compensate for injury or death from acci dents on account oX government use or from explosives. Land descriptions should be based on township and section lines, instead of the old donation land claim descriptions which are difficult to follow. Relocation of Eead The government should provide for the relocation of roads and construction of new ones to bet ter serve the area in accordance with the plan 'developed by the county court, and include clause in the sales agreement providing for rights-of-way for the county for such roads; that would make unnecessary further negotiating cir condemnation by the county court with the new owners for such road construc tion. Such a plan should be in cluded in appraisals made of the farms in order that the value of any damage done by such roads might be considered in the ap praisals. The government, having taken over the area and having impos ed a distinct burden on the tax payers of this county, should re imburse the county for the tax loss for the period in govern ment ownership. The committee believes that the plan to give priority in the put chase of Camp Adair lamd first to former owners and ope rators, second to veterans, and third to others, is proper. No Speculation Wanted In order to prevent speculation in the area, the committee rec ommends that any fawn shall not be sold for a period of less than five years without due cause, un less the difference in cost and sale is made payable to the gov ernment, and it is recommended that any such payment be made use of in this area. The committee strongly ( be lieves that the area shouldre main in economical farm family units and not be sold in tracts smaller. In many instances it will be advisable to combine units where formerly they were too .small. Appraisals should definitely consider the increased weed dam age and other physical damage done to farms during the govern ment ownership as being harmful to such areas. No Tax-Free Contracts Sales should be made in such a way that the farms sold be immediately placed on the county tax rolls and not be sold subject to tax-free government contract The committee ilso recom mends that definiteT recommen dations be provided through the land use committee, county agent's office, experiment station and other sources for the best means of starting farming opera tion with the ideas in mind of destroying the weeds and for get ting the soil into the best possible stage of tilth as soon as possible. Dees, plowing on much of the area should be avoided as this prac- r.4' I. letter w ewmmrneizim Nncs and Vieivs of Farm and Garden Is; I ' ' v. ..i V One of the many new machines developed for postwar farming. V - - MWd is the McCormick-Deering green or dry hay chopper for sue in the field shown here. By this 1 method, green or cured hay Is picked ap from the windrow, chopped, and delivered to the rack. The chopped cured hay can then be delivered te the mew with a blower. Chopped green hay can be processed quickly for grass silage. With proper timing chopping hay la the field offers many, feeding and storing advantages. Ranch Ramblings fly Rural Reporter Interest in legume silage. Is on the increase in Marion county. Out at Mt. Angel, Joe Walker is planning to put up extra spring pasture as silage to feed out later in the summer when pasture growth slows down. Henry Zorn down at Champoeg has been us ing legume silage to save first cutting alfalfa in rainy years. And Felix Hassing at Hubbard puts up oats and vetch silage for summer feeding. More will be heard about this method at the meetings planned for Woodburn and Central How ell this afternoon and tonight. ? f rmrrlaUe ! kulton ysurtrlf into, xul smart The V-ntrLlinr, parkliag Is llir lirnt lins with rrrttal buttonf and! sof leord by scallops all tl way round and down the front.

Here R. E. Rieder, entomologist of the Shell Oil company, will talk about prune Unrip control. Henry Hart- man of the horticultural depart ment at the state college will dis cuss prune mantels, wage ceil ings will be given some time as well. At Scotts Mills, Mr. and Mrs. Alois Imper have moved to the ranch they recently bought from George Helvey. Out in the Bethel district we find land improvement going ahead rapidly. Nile Hilborn, who bought the Taylor -Chapman farm is having land cleared, old fences enterprise should have at least 2000 laying hens when the entire family income is to come from the poultry enterprise. If poultry is kept as, a side line enterprise to other farming, there should be at least 500 laying hens. This will provide enough eggs to justify proper attention and facilities and allow for better marketing. Where hens are kept just to furnish eggs and meat for the family, a max imum of 25 hens will usually be sufficient . , . while the report doesn't say so, it would seem that this last figure would! depend somewhat upon the size of the family. Martin Widdows of Can by re ports that he utilized white clover pasture for fattening five Hereford steers purchased from the stock yards. They made an average gain of 200 pound in five monlths with out gram. VViddows expects to supplement pasture feeding with 9 small amount of grain this com ing season. Rufus Kraxberger, manager of the cooperative flax plant at Ixne Elder, says he has gained increased production of flax from applica tions of ammonium sulphate with a two bottom plow with a plow sole attachment. Kraxbcjrger says that May planted flax so fertilized produced 1000 pounds of! addition al flax per acre as compared with non-fertilized plots. The fiber con tent of the fertilized plants, was Use Dormant .Spray For Scalti Inset!! 9 Control San Jose scale and oys ter shell scale bys dormant spray applications of oil emulsion, lime sulphur or a mixture of the two, says Don C. Mote, entomologist at the State college. Now is the time. San Jose scale manifests itself as small, ash-gray or blackish scales clustered on the bark of trees. The bark usually shows a, purple stain for a short distance around each scale especially on young trees and new growth. The trees become bark-bound and de vitalized. Infested fruit shows bright red spots. Where present, the dormant spray of lime-sulphur (11 gallons and water to make 100 gallons of spray) or oil emulsion (four gallons to make 100 gallons of spray) or lime-sulphur plus oil emulsion is advis able. Containers give measure ments for smaller amount. Oyster shell scale has the ap pearance of a miniature oyster en crusted on the bark of the, host plant. Use dormant oil spray -(four gallons to 100.) Emphasize Quality In Oregon Dairies Reactivation of th war-recess ed milk and cream grading pro gram in the dairy manufacturing plants of Oregon is getting under way as plants return to a mote normal status upon return of veteran graders, the state depart ment of agriculture announce this week. . Joseph A. Gray, veteran, has returned to the department staff and will be in charge of the re newed quality improvement ac tivities for the department, says O. K. Beals, chief of the division of foods and dairies. Initial work is being carried on in southern and central Oregon plants. ' Milk and cream graders in the dairy manufacturing plants serve in effect, though not actually, as deputies of the department inas much as they are licensed by it. In the department program, in winch Gray is being assisted Joy George Dickinson, dairy super visor, the services are available to all dairy manufacturing plants which need assistance in building back a quality product. Maynard Wins Patterson Cup Eugene Maynard, 20-year-old son of Mr. and Mf-s. H. C. May nard of McMinnville. has been named as winner of the annual Patterson Trophy of the most out standing boy in leadership ami achievement for 1945. The trophy was established by the late Gov ernor I. L. Patterson as an annual award for outstanding accomp lishment in club work. Young Maynard ha been active in club work for 1 1 years, dining which he has canied on 37 pio) ects. His main intercut has been dairying, in which field he has helped his father to improve his herd and equipment, has led two dairy clubs, and has helped other club members in his community with improved dairy practices. He plans to enter Oregon State college next fall. bor and machinery shortages, as well as the' continued need for the Uniled States to feed most of the world and herself, make youth's help just as important as it was during the war years, Anderson adds. fc nil, wmi Kliiii ii " ' removed and hedgerows out.'

Eoff and Arno Spranger counties places. Six thousand feet of tiling has been laid on the Warren Creech farm and somewhat less on that of Roy Mart-hand. The, Eoff and Spranger farms each required 11,000 feet of tile. R. R. Hofstetler of Needy has put in the tiling. Marion county's poultry com mittee has these recommendations to make: A full time commercial that from the unfertilized plants.

Wheat Loan Dale Set Ahead to March 1 Oregon wheat producers are re- ceiving notice from their county! AAA committees that the effec-j tive date of commodity credit's I parity purchase offer has been advanced from April 30 to March 1. Even though loans on 1945 wheat do not mature until April 30, growers are being asked to decide now whether they will de liver the wheat to the govern ment in satisfaction of the loan or repay the loan and market the wheat themselves.' The call for immediate delivery of loan wheat is one of the measures being tak en to make food available for shipment to war-devastated coun tries. 4-H CLCB WEEK SET March 2 to 10 has been set aside by President Truman as national 4-H clujb week.
