Best Use By Varieties
Given for Berries
When the homemaker is ready
to select strawberries and other
berries for canning, freezing, pre
serving, or for making jams and
jellies and juices, she is often at a
loss to know which of the many
varieties are best adapted for these
different purposes. She may now
find this information in leaflet
HE 875 just Issued at Oregon State
college, entitled, "Oregon Berries
Classified for Best Use."
In the section devoted to straw
berries, it is pointed out, for in
stance, that Red Heart, Corvallis,
Clark and Ettersberg 121 are best
adapted to canning, while the
Marshall, Corvallis, Redheart, and
Narcissa are listed as best for
home processed frozen pack. The
Marshall, often called the Oregon
or Dewey, while not suitable for
commercial canning, is widely
used for home canning. Dorsetts,
Marshalls, and Corvallis are among
the best for jam.
Of the red raspberry varieties,
Cuthbert and Lloyd George are
recommended fo canning and jam,
but other red raspberry varieties
may be used fpr these purposes
with good results. Of the black
raspberries, the Plum Farmer,
Cumberland and Munger are all
good for jelly, jams, desserts, can
ned, juices, dried and frozen.
All varieties of blackberries are
recommended for jelly, jam, juices,
desserts and canning, while com
mon wild blackberry and Oregon
Evergreen are found most satis
factory for freezing. The Brainerd
is mentioned as a new blackberry
which is gaining in popularity.
Logan berries, youngberries,
gooseberries and currants are also
discussed in the leaflet, which in
cludes the approximate dates
when the various kinds of berries
are available in normal seasons.
Berries are a valuable and con
venient food and deserve consider
ation when planning any kind of
a meal, says Miss Lucy A. Case,
extension specialist in foods and
nutrition, who is joint author of
the leaflet with Geoge F. Waldo,
assistant pomologist of the U. S.
department of agriculture, station
ed at O. S. C. Many kinds of ber
ries when raw provide an excellent
source of vitamin C, she says, and
appreciable amounts of vitamins
A and B, as well as roughage, iron
and other minerals needed by the
body are found in most berries.
The leaflet Is available free
from county extension offices and
from the college at Corvallis.
Jottings From OSC
Small Fruit Day
It takes four years from "seed
to feed" in breeding new straw
berries, George F. Waldo, federal
pomologist In charge of small fruit
breeding at Oregon State college,
told visitors to the annual small
fruits day. Boxes of luscious new
strawberries, known only by the
number of the crossing made four
years ago, were set out for the vis
itors to sample. No. 124 drew con
siderable attention for its even size
and attractive light red color,
which, if it has other desirable
characteristics, might make it a
promising berry for the preserving
trade. ,
Chance mistakes often aid the
cause of research. A year ago
when the experiment station pur
chased lime to be used in tests
for spittle bug control, there was
one package of ground quick lime
mixed unnoticed among the pack
ages of hydrated lime which had
been ordered. A check up on the
farm where the material-was used
showed strikingly better control on
the part where the quick lime was
used. Further tests this year have
served to confirm the Indications
that this is a big improvement,
and that apparently no damage
Is done to the plants by the quick
lime. Further tests are being car
ried out, however, before a general
recommendation is made.
Use of certified, crinkle free
strawberry plants does not afford
immunity against future infection,
but it certainly does lessen the
plants. Dr. S. M. Zeller showed
visitors the results after three
test plantings of crinkle disease
stock. Two short rows of cerified
Corvallis plants, grown for three
years In the midst of diseased
stock, are still vigorous, while
common stock of the same variety
planted there at the same time is
now worthless.
Youngberries trained on hori
zontal wires bore more pounds of
berries per plant, although those
trained on vertical sticks gave
more berries per acre In the experi
mental field last year, Dr. W. S.
Brown, head of the department of
horticulture, reported. By having
the canes trained on upright sticks
it is possible to hae them planted
considerably closer together with
out undue crowding. The upright
training does not appear to in
crease picking difficulties to any
extent.

Proposed Measures

Sustained Yield
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. With the deadline for
filing less than three weeks away
petition pushers interested in the
success of proposed initiative meas
ures are abroad in the land impor
tuning the voters for their signa
tures 16,271 of which are necessary
to satisfy the requirements for a
place on the November ballot
Ballot titles have been prepared
for 22 different measures but it is
not expected that more than eight
or ten will make the grade. Un
official reports received at the cap
ital indicate that many of the meas
ures have already been abandoned
by their sponsors. The list of pro
posed measures includes three deal
ing with old age pensions, four fish
ing measures; six dealing with the
subject of taxation and licenses;
and two dealing with the subject
of liquor regulation.
Only one petition has been com
pleted to date. That covers a
measure forbidding by constitution
al amendment the prohibition or
regulation of any advertisement of
any business, vocation or profession
so long as the advertisements state
the truth.
Three of the proposed measures
are being sponsored by the State
Grange. One of these would put the
other would create a state owned
state in the power business, an
and operated bank, and the third
would authorize the board of con
trol to administer proposed laws
covering the acquisition and trans
mission of power until a power
board could be elected.
Other proposed measures for
which ballot titles have been pre
pared include the following:
Homestead tax exemption and
additional income tax amendment
sponsored by the Home Owners
Tax Exemption League of Port
land. Old Age and Disability Pension
bill sponsored by Bjorn Johann
son; Authorizing limited commercial
fishing in the Rogue river;
Regulating the sale of motor
fuel oils;
Providing for annual state-wide
elections with no primaries;
Regulating gill net fishing in Co
lumbia river and its tributaries;
Forbidding use of seines and
fixed gear in Columbia river;
Levying graduated annual tax
on chain stores;
Giving municipalities exclusive
control over retail liquor sales;
Diverting 75 percent of liquor
revenues to school purposes.
Providing flat tax of $10 on real
real property up to $2500 value;
Creating elective commission to
administer old age pensions;
Forbidding tax on any article of
food for human consumption;
Abolishing compulsory military
training at state schools;
Creating non-political game
commission and forestry board;
Authorizing Portland school dis
trict to increase 1937 tax levy;
Limiting and reducing permis
sable taxes on tangible property;
Increasing old age pensions and
providing for new excise taxes.
Test borings to determine the
tharacter of the foundation upon
which the new capitol will rest
were being taken this week under
the direction of the architects who
will design the new building and
supervise its construction. The
capitol commission has announced
its intention of getting the exca
vation work started as soon as pos
sible, not waiting for the com
pletion of detailed plans for the
building itself. This will provide
work for a number of men during
the fall months. Construction work
is expected to start some time in
November with time for comple
tion of the job estimated at one
year and nine months.
Rumors persist of a plan to at
tack the validity of the new un
employment compensation act but
so far no one has gone further
in opposing the act than to voice
vigorous protest against the com
pulsory contributions to the new
fund.
Inmates of state institutions are
doing thnir hit this week toward
reducing the surplus of Oregon
prunes. A carload of the dried
fruit was ordered by the board of
control and the Oregon product
is being featured on the menues of
all institutions throughout the
week. Governor Martin who pro
claimed this as "prune week" has
been setting an example for other
Oregon residents to follow by sub
stituting prunes for other delica
cies such- as oranges and grape
fruit
Oregon materials will be used
in the .capitol building as far as
practical, Francis Keally, archi
tect who will design the structure,
declared on a visit to Salem this
week. Some doubt is felt how
ever, as to the ability of Oregon
quarries to supply the necessary
materials. At any rate Oregon
woods will be used for the decorat
ive panels in the main lobby of
the building and for finishing the
interior of some of the rooms in
the capitol.
Reports that men and women on
relief rolls were refusing to accept
jobs in the berry fields were de
clared to be unfair by Elmer Gou
dy, state relief administrator, in
a report to Governor Martin this
week. Goudy pointed out that re
lief rolls in this state have now
been purged of all employables.
Only the halt, and the blind and
the unemployables remain. Total
registration for direct relief in this
state now numbers only a few in
excess of 11,000 which is about
back to normal.
Oregon will receive $9,432,000 in
federal funds for highway work
during 1938-39 providing the state
can dig up $2,045,000 a year in
match money, according to R. H.
Baldock, state highway engineer.
The federal allotment for 1938(
will be available about July 1, 1937.
Governor Martin will head a
party of highway officials and en
gineers on a six day tour of high
ways in eastern Oregon, leaving
Salem Friday and returning to
the capital city next Wednesday.
The trip is being made especially
for an inspection of the Idaho-Oregon-Nevada
highway. The trip
will extend as far as Caldwell,
Idaho, and as far south as Reno,
Nevada, and Susanville and Al
turas, California.
Five persons met death at grade
crossings in Oregon during May,
bringing the year's total of cross
ing fatalities to nine, according to

utilities commission Railroads have
been asked to send representatives

cording to D. A. Bulmore, secre
tary to the unemployment com
pensation commission. Bulmore
bases his estimate on receipts of
more than $325,000 for the first
four months of the year. Next
year the levy against employers
will double and the following year
it will be treble this year's levy,
Bulmore pointed out.
A policy of sustained yield for
Oregon forests offers the only hope
for a continuation of this state's
lumber industries, Governor Mar
tin pointed out this week in urg
ing Oregon congressmen to support
a federal measure providing; for
financial aid to timber owners in
the transition from the present
wasteful cutting program to a new
program designed to perpetuate
the timber crop.
Attorney General Van Winkle
has ruled that the state land board
cannot collect royalties on sand to
be taken out of the Columbia river
by the Portland port for use in
filling in its new airport since the
sand is not for commercial use.
The opinion will cost the common
school fund approximately $112,-
000 but will save the Port of Port
land the same amount.

NO MATTER how you classify your
expenditures for car up-keep
it's your total expenditure that counts.
How much "dollar mileage" is your car
giving you?
Dollars do go farther in the Ford V-8.
Modern improved carburetion gives you
unusual gasoline mileage with brilliant
V-8 performance. Most owners of today's
Ford change oil only every 2000 miles
and add none between changes.
And after the first few thousand miles
you begin to understand what Ford V-8
"dollar mileage" really means.
It gives you more miles per dollar be
cause it gives you all-round economy
low first cost, low up-keep cost, low de
preciation and long life as well as low
gasoline and oil consumption. All these
are big items if you aim to buy the most
economical car.
