He is recovering from critical injuries when hit by a Jeep In a rainstorm. At this time of the year we al ways have many inquiries on severe twig and needle dieback in the several types of a popular cedar-like shrub known as Arbor, vitae. Frequently the upper half of the entire plant is dead or dying, with the discoloration be ing a light tan to medium brown shads as compared with healthy green folliage. A fungus causes this disease. One cultural prac tice will aid considerably in con trolling future infections. Remove all the dead and weakened in fected twigs and branches. Often these are found in the center of the shrubs. Prune them out now and burn them. Do not leave them on the trash pile where spores can be spread by wind and air currents to cause future infec tions in the fall and winter months. A garden hose also helps remove the dead twig growth. Re moval of such dead material also encourages new healthy growth. No sprays are recommended for control at this time of year. Fixed copper spray applications are sug gested prior to fall rains in early October. Some Important insect pests will be attacking our vegetable gardens this month. Aphids are always a problem and attack most garden vegetables. Aphids can be controlled quite readily with mal. athion sprays or dust. Remem ber, the strongest defense of aph ids against control is their re markable ability to reproduce. ft fef 'i-sk . 1 v lw"t". ,v Jl , -JL f ft A jo, .4 Raphael Raymond, Helix, president of the Oregon Wheat Growers league, shows a Japanese poster which reads, "Wheat Poods In a Balanced Diet for Longer Life," to Mrs. Raymond who greeted him upon arrival at Portland airport from a wheat mission to Japan and Korea.

Packaged Produce Proves Popular With Homemakers Cleaner, better quality fruits and vegetables are promised Ore. t?on shoDDers as more markets handle fresh produce in pre packaged bundles. - R. H. Groder, Oregon State col lege extension ' marketing spe cialist, says that in answer to consumers' demands, more stores in the West and elsewhere are switching from bulk to packaged produce. Consumers like the convenience he believes, of buying fruits and vegetables that are already cleaned and ready for home use. Potatoes, turnips, parsnips, car rots, celery, lettuce, radishes, and other fresh produce are al ready being sold in many stores in consumer size packages. In terms of the consumers' food dollar, packaged produce is probably no more expensive than that purchased from bulk dis plays, the specialist saye. Al though the priee tag on packaged produce may be a few pennies higher, there is less waste and more food for your money in the package. Marketing agencies have not i yet agreed whether the producer, packer, wholesaler or retailer should do the packaging. At pre sent, says Goder, the tack is be ing shared, depending to some extent on the commodity. Consumer packaged items are nothing new, he continues. A few years after cellophane was in troduced in 1924, cookies and crackers were packed in cello phane for the market. In 1933, development of wrapping ma chines and heat-sealing cello phane increased both the speed and efficiency of wrapping. Mushrooms were packaged in the 1920's and by the late 1930's, brussel sprouts, spinach, toma toes and carrots were packaged in some stores. Packagers use different types of containers to fit individual food items. For some fresh fruits and vegetables, polyethylene bags are used that breathe with the produce to release noxious gases. Onions are packaged in perforated bags or with elastic tops so that moisture and gases can escape. Groder says shoppers could take a tip from the packager when storing fresh produce: use the packaging method used at the market to store produce at home. o Local News In Brief Out of town relatives here last week to attend the funeral of Til den H.

And it would at the phone office, too, if we didn't get after it right away. Did you know dust's an enemy of your phone service? You'd never guess how much real trouble it could cause if it got in our switching equipment. One way we keep your calls going through is to vacuum the equipment (above) . Just like you clean your living room rug! We've got a special kind of dust cloth, too. It's treated chemically ... so it'll catch dust better. Can't be too careful about these things. s i, . v. . . . iw vi :4 You can't help noticing "straddle trucks" like this when you see them on the road. They're pretty unusual looking. And take it from me, they're plenty useful, too. When we put in new cables to carry your calls, a truck like this really speeds things up. First it picks up a cable reel in a jiffy. Then carries it fast to the place it's needed. And notice how you can park it right above the manhole where the ca ble goes. If you're like other folks I know, you're calling long distance a lot these days. You know how easy it is to call any place in the U. S. One reason it's easy is that we work closely with other telephone companies. May be you didn't realize we're just one of over 4000 phone companies in the U. S. Our lines connect with all the others. So your calls go where you want them to go fast. Pacific Telephone i. v
