Fruit Producers
Fight To Retain
American Market
Protection of American fruit
growers against what they consider
unfair competition from Canada and
South America occupied major at
tention of the members of the Ore
gon Horticultural society in their
annual meeting at Medford
With war conditions having al
ready cut off most of the export
market for northwest apples and
pears, Oregon growers pointed out
in vigorous resolutions that they
should not now have their markets
further impaired by excessive ship
ments of apples from Canada and
pears from Argentina.
As to Canadian apple shipments,
the resolution adopted points out
more than 500,000 boxes of apples
from British Columbia have already
been sold in the United States, as
compared with only 115,000 boxes
last year. These imports served to
depress the American market 25 to
50 cents a box, the growers held.
The resolution asked that a quota
of not to exceed 650,000 boxes for
this season be established immedi
ately, and that for next year a quota
based on i average importations of
prior seasons be announced early
As to pear importations from
South America, it was pointed out
that last year almost 300,000 boxes
came into the New York market
and that some 500,000 boxes may be
expected early in 1941. As this in
terferes with the policy of the gov
ernment to help establish more do
mestic markets for American pears,
the society asked that a reasonable
limitation be placed on importations
for the spring of 1941, which limita
tion shall not exceed the average
of the quantities imported during
the past three seasons.
The association commended the
United States weather bureau for
developing a five-day weather fore
casting service and urged that ar
rangements be made for this to be
broadcast over the state station
KOAC. Research work of the ex
periment station was endorsed and
request was made that a study be
undertaken on control of the pear
psylla in case it should reach Ore
gon districts.
E. A. McCornack of Eugene was
elected president of the society; R.
S. Hazeltine, Hood River, George B.
Dean, Medford, and Frank B. Har
low, Eugene, first, second and third
vice-presidents, respectively, and 0.

Circular Gives
New Farm Statistics
To answer numerous requests for
agricultural statistics in Oregon, the
O. S. C extension service has just
published a new mimeographed cir
cular entitled, "A Special Assembly
of Agricultural Statistics for the
State of Oregon." The new circular,
prepared by L. R. Breithaupt, ex
tension economist, includes cash
farm income estimates for 1936 thru
1938, with annual averages for 26
commodity groups.
By means of index numbers the
circular also shows the comparison
in production, and farm prices by
individual commodities over a per
iod of approximately 20 years, be

TRADING POST
Cloy Dykstra Heppner
Search for New
Insect Poisons Aided
Oregon State College Further
search for more effective organis in
secticides by which to help the far
mer fight his crop pests has been
greatly stimulated here through the
granting of a fund by the Tobacco
By-Products Chemical corporation
of Louisille, Ky., to carry on coop
erative research in the school of
science.
The fund, amounting to $3490 and
including two research fellowships,
was accepted by the state board of
higher education on the recommen
dation of President F. L. Ballard.
The expanded work will serve to
continue and broaden the promising
research started several years ago
by the chemistry and entomology
departments.
New poisons which will not leave
a metalic residue on the fruit or in
the sail are being sought the world
over. Promising results have already
been obtained on the laboratory
basis with entirely new organic com
pounds and these will now be test
ed further on a larger scale.
G-T want ads get results.
Turkey Feathers
Make Big Blooms
Turkey shippers have no trouble
disposing of their turkey feathers
if there are daffodil growers in the
vicinity.
Use of turkey feathers on the daf
fodil fields has given excellent re
sults to growers in the Umpqua dis
trict of southern Oregon, says Chas.
A. Cole, horticulturist with the state
department of agriculture. Extra
large blooms produced in fields
where the feathers are used as a
mulch are reported.
The feathers provide the soil with
humus and with nitrate and ai
of course, easy to plow under in
the spring after they have rotted.
Use of the feathers provides the soil
with valuable blood meal for noth
ing, or at least only for the time
and exertion in hauling them from
plants to fields.
Caution is given that application
of feathers should not be too heavy,
or soft flowers may be produced.
Some growers in Benton and
Marion counties are also using the
feather mulch.
