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.

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.

I'll bet you find dust gathers fast around the house these
summer days. 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.

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
