Bulb Gardens
Hearing Ends
The state agriculture depart
ments two-day hearing about
the Sherwood bulb gardens end
ed last midnight, and the de
partment's order is expected in
a few weeks. ,
The department charged the
gardens one of the northwest's
biggest bulb sellers with fraud
deception and misrepresentation
and ordered the hearing of L. E.
Marcus, owner of the gardens
could defend himself. The de
partment wants to refuse to re
new his nursery license.
Marcus testified last night that
when the department ordered
the hearing, his business shrank
so much that it caused him sen
oils financial difficulties.
But on cross-examiation, he
admitted he had been in finan
cial deep water before the hear
ing was ordered.
Marcus said he had conferred
with a referee in bankruptcy,
but he denied he had been under
pressure from his creditors.

Needed in Beans
Recent hot weather has
brought on the bean crop faster
than expected with the result
that several western Oregon
areas suddenly are reporting
shortages of pickers to the Ore
gon state employment service.
More than 1,500 additional
workers can find work In the
bean fields during the peak
period between now and Au
gust 20, the employment serv
ice says. Main shortages report
ed are from the Albany local
office, where 750 more pickers
can be used, and from Salem,
which has put in call for 600
additional persons.
Eugene and Hillsboro offices
also need a hundred or more
workers, while McMinnville,
Oregon City and Portland re
ported a close balance between
the supply and demand.
All prospective pickers should
have their own camping and
cooking equipment, but some
accommodations are available on
farms.' Bean harvest will last
well into September in some
sections, but the main part of
the crop will be gathered this
month.
This is the first farm labor
shortage reported in Oregon
since the cherries and berries
were picked late in June.

Disease Still
Serious Menace
Many farmers may be acquir
ing a false sense of security over
the threat of Newcastle disease
to their poultry flocks, veterin
ary authorities say.
"This disease has now spread
to every state in the Union, and
although there is less talk about
it today than thete was several
years ago, the losses it causes
are very heavy," the American
Foundation for Animal Health
reports. "Newcastle disease is
second only to pullorum disease
in the economic loss it now
causes the poultry Industry."
Vaccines recently developed
through veterinary research are
proving helpful in controlling the
disease, the Foundation said, but
vaccination should be consider
ed as an aid to, not a substitute
for, strict control measures. If
Newcastle disease appears in a
flock, all dead birds should be
burned or buried, and suscept
ible birds should not be brought
to the farm until four weeks or
more after the outbreak. Farm
ers should also take precautions
to be sure birds are obtained
from sources free of the disease.
"If a flock-owner lives in an
area where Newcastle disease
has not yet become a serious
problem, he should undertake
vaccination only on the advice
of his veterinarian," the Founda
tion said.
Idaho, Saturday noon at Poca
tello, Saturday evening at Idaho

meeting at the same place.

Legion Removes Fire
Risk in Shavings
To comply with fire regula
tions it was necessary for the
American Legion convention or
ganization to make hasty remov
al of pine shavings with which
they had covered the floors of
"dugouts" in two downtown lo
cations.
The shavings were used in
stead of sawdust. In one loca
tion floor space in the base
ment and on the first floor had
been covered, and in another
the basement floor. The owner
of one of the buildings called
the attention of Fire Chief W
P. Roble to the situation. After
an inspection he requested that
the shavings be removed, which
was done without opposition.
The pine shavings, said the
chief, would have been a serious
hazard.
