trim the tops and runners from strawberry plants. The in
ventor, Alfred Howe, Silverton, is interested in securing a
manufacturer and distributor.
Machine Makes Life Easier
For Strawberry Growers
Alfred S. Howe, Silverton, recently constructed a new imple
ment for strawberry growers, and after a working model has dem
onstrated its practicability, is now seeking a manufacturer and
distributor of his machine.
Application for patents has been made and patent drawings
executed by J. T. Anderson,-
Portland, coordinator of inven
tions. Anderson, who will e
a display of inventions and mod
els at the Oregon State Fair
next month, will also show mov-
ini pictures of the Howe ma
chine.
Feature of the machine is its
ability to cut down the time re
quired for trimming the tops
and runners from strawberry
plants and at the same time pro
viding the close cultivation of
the plant, all in the same opera
tion.
The machine consists of a pair
of disks with saw teeth which
straddle the row of strawberry
plants. A pair of cutting blades,
or shoes, are located adjacent
to the disc. These shoes travel
under the runners of the straw
berry plant while the disks are
rotated, thus shearing off the
runners.
The runners between the
plants are bushed aside bv
power-driven reel into the path
of the cutting discs.
Cutter blades operate at the
same time to cut the tops of the
plants. Other cutting discs be
hind the trimmer discs complete
ly clean the area and also culti
vate the ground.
The equipment is mounted on
a frame with wheel support on
wnicn a motor is mounted for
driving the disc and reels. The
implement is adapted to be Dull
ed by a tractor.

Morse to Race
At State Fair
U. S. Senator Wayne L. Morse
will be a state fair visitor . and
again will enter his horse in the
horse show, it was learned Tues
day from friends of the senator
here.
It is understood that many
members of the senate plan to
leave Washington during La
bor Day week and as a result
there will be a lull in senate ac
tivities during Morse's visit in
Salem.
Horse show patrons will re
call the excitement caused last
year when the Morse entry, Sir
Laurel Guy, won after close
brushes with Harry Zell's en
try from Portland.
Earlier, reports had indicated
that Senator Morse would not
bring any horses to the fair this
year, but apparently he has
changed his plans.

Hereford Breeders Will
Sponsor Show Here in March
By CLAUDE STEUSLOFF
Oreeon Polled Hereford breeders will sponsor a sale and show
at Salem in March, 1950, according to action taken last night at
the summer meeting of the breed association held at the Chamber
of Commerce.
W. H. Fisher of Oregon City is chairman of the committee
appointed to arrange for the
event. Ralph Cook, Medford;
Dick Hibbard, Imbler; Lee
Minkoff, Clatskanie; Roy New
port, Culver; and Paul Town
send. Salem, are committee
members.
Fred Vanderhoof, Woodlake,
Calif., a national director of the
Polled Hereford association, said
single registration certificates
representing both the American
Hereford association and the
Polled Hereford association may
soon be available. At present
Polled breeders must carry a
double set of papers for each
animal registered, since their
cattle are all descended Irom
horned Herefords.
Beef Production the Hereford
Way, a 30-minute sound film
shown during the meeting,
brought out that seven out of
each ten beef animals registered
in U.S. are Herefords. It showed
the hardships endured by range
cattle during the great snow
storm of last winter. Hereford
registrations have increased 100
per cent in ten southern and
eastern states from 1940 to 1945.
California is now 11th in Here
ford recordings.
Joe Johnson, animal husband
ry instructor at Oregon State
college, reported the new beef
barn almost ready for occupan
cy. With an increased beef herd
and more irrigated pasture acre
age he expects the college beef
cattle program to be adequate
in two years
Dick Hibbard, national direc
tor, announced $8,000 in premi
ums would be awarded at the
Western Polled Hereford sale
and show in Denver December
'10.
C. E. Newton, Corvallis; Ev
erett Wilson, Shedd; Mrs, George
Amort, Sweet Home; Mrs. W. H.
Fisher, Oregon City; and Mrs.
Bob Sears, Salem, are a commit
tee to prepare for the next meet
ing of the Oregon group at the
Willamette Polled Hereford
ranch, Brownsville, Sunday aft
ernoon, September 18.
Bob Sears, Salem, is president
of the association and presided
over the meeting which was at
tended by 50 breeders.

Gov. Langlie Orders
Ten Percent Cut
Olympia, Aug. 16 (P) A 10
per cent cut in expenditures
were ordered by. Gov Langlie
yesterday for every department
under his control.
But, he added, even this cur
tailment will not solve the
state's financial crisis.
Langlie took the action after
learning that the state spent
$14,000,000 more during April,
May and June than it took in,
If that kept up, he said, the gen
eral fund would be broke by
January 1.

Many Polio Cases Due to
New Non-Crippling Virus
New Haven, Conn., Aug. 16 VP) Yale scientists expressed be
lief today that a large number of cases diagnosed as polio
myelitis may actually be attributable to a new and apparently
non-crippling virus.
Existence of the virus, first reported By tne new JtorK state
department of health, was con-
firmed by the Yale researchers
after a year's study.
Isolated during last summer's
polio outbreak in southern New
England, North Carolina and
Texas, the origin of the virus
still is unknown and its means
of transmission are obscure. But
the Yale scientists reported that
all infected persons who have
come to their attention have re
covered with no harmful aftereffects.
A report of the Yale research
was published today in the pro
ceedings of the Society for Ex
perimental Biology and Medi
cine. Commenting on the report,
Joseph L. Melnick, associate
professor of microbiology, de
clared:
"It is believed this new virus
was the cause of widespread ill
ness last year during the polio
myelitis season. Last year there
were about 28,000 cases in the
Uniled States which were re
ported as poliomyelitis, the larg
est number since 1916.
"On the basis of this research
at Yale, it is believed a size
able percentage of these cases
may have been falsely diagnosed
as poliomyelitis and were ac
tually attributable to this new
virus.
"We have reason to think this
may be a fairly common disease,
and with this new information
physicians, working in conjunc
tion with virologists in poliomy
elitis areas, may have available
a valuable new tool for specific
diagnosis."
Two New York scientists pub
lished the first description of the
virus. They were Gilbert Dall-
dorf and Grace Sickles of the
state health department at Al
bany.
Sub sequent investigations
showed patients with the virus
had some of the symptoms us
unlly associated with polio. The
average length of illness runs
about 10 days, and the disease
is prevalent during the usual
polio season. But it leaves no
permanent injury.
