FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION
A
MESSAGE
THAT APPLE A DAY IS
USED IN MANY A WAY.
With the markets crowded with
bushels of tempting red and yellow
apples and pears from Oregon or
chards, homemakers are often par
donably bewildered as to which of
the many varieties will best suit the
family needs. Guidance in this pro
ylem is now offered by the home
economics division of the Oregon
State college extension service in
the form of a list of apple and pear
varieties, grouped according to the
use for which they are best adapted.
The guide also gives approximate
dates when each variety is first
available as well as usual keeping
time. It is entitled “Varieties of
Oregon Apples and Pears Classified
tor Best Use,” and is tree for the
asking from county extension offices
or from the college at Corvallis.
“Apples and pears deserve a place
in our diet practically every day of
the year, not only because of their
sweet, delicious, juicy flavor but al-
•o because of their ease of prepara
tion. convenience, low price, and
high food value,” says Miss Lucy A.
Case, foods and nutrition specialist
•f the O.S.C. extension service. "Ap
ples are a good source of Vitamins
C and G, and pears of B and G, which
help in maintaining physical health
and vigor. They also furnish val
uable roughage and minerals and
help to maintain the normal alkali-
nity of the body.”
While a large part of the apple
crop is eaten raw each year, the
fruit can also be prepared in innu
merable delfcious dishes. Miss Case
points out. Few could ever exhaust
such a list as baked apples, cobbler,
dumplings, brown betty, sauce, ap
plesauce cake, upside-down cake,
fritters, stuffing, puddings, gelatine
desserts, salads, candied apples, jel-
Hee, butters, relishes, spiced apples,
syrup, cider and many others. Pears
are but slightly less versatile.
The best varieties of apples and
pears for eating are not necessarily
the best for cooking. Most varieties
•f apples make good pies, but those
that retain their firmness are best
for this purpose. / For baking, varie
ties which become tender and juicy,
yet hold their shape after cooking
are most satisfactory, while for
sauce those that lose their shape
with cooking are often preferred.
Most tart apples that are somewhat
immature make good jelly and are
good for canning.
LABAK SEED GROWING NOW
URGED IN EASTERN OREGON.
Belief that Ladak alfalfa, a com
paratively new,, extremely hardy va
riety, will give the old standby va
riety, Grimm, some real competition
as a seed crop in years to come and
may eventually crowd it into the
background in eastern Oregon alfal
fa sections, has been voiced by E. R.
Jackman. extension agronomist at
Oregon State college.
Ladak seed will outsell Grimm for
some years at least, says Jackman.
It produces just as much seed as
Grimm, is extremely hardy, matures
a fair crop early, then "dries up
without sulking if it has no water,
and is ready for another good crop
the following spring.”
Jackman points out that Oregon
and Montana lead the country at
present in Ladak seed production,
and will probably maintain this lead
for many years. Jackman expects
the production of Ladak to increase
up to 1,000,000 pounds per year, but
looks for little if any expansion in
Grimm production.

HUGE TRACT ASSIGNED OSC
FOR GRAZING EXPERIMENTS.
- Completion of arrangements by
which Oregon State college will op
erate a 16,000 acre range livestock
experimental grazing area in cent-
trai Oregon, has been announced by
Willard L. Marks, president of the
State Board of Higher Education.
The land is located about 40 miles
west of Burns and includes what has
long been known as the Gap ranch.
The land has been made available
by the department of the interior as
part of its comprehensive plan of ad
ministering range lands of the pub
lic domain which have now come un
der systematic control through op
eration of the Taylor-Grazing act.
The interior department agreed to
furnish the land and equipment for
the huge grazing tract it the agri
cultural experiment station of the
state college would conduct the re
search thereafter.
Preliminary steps toward complet
ing such an arrangement were start
ed nearly a year ago and have now
been confirmed by official agree
ments, Marks announced. The new
experimental work will provide Ore
gon stockmen with the benefits of
careful research studies into the best
methods and practices of range man
agement which will restore and
maintain normal forage production
on the millions of acres of range
lands.
While thir research will be car
ried on in Oregon, the station is to
be the only one of its kind estab
lished in the northwest and hence
will serve the entire range country
of several states where comparable
conditions exist.
The excellent livestock experimen
tal work developed at the Union
branch experiment station, together
with the important forage studies
carried on at the Harney branch sta
tion. were factors in bringing to Ore
gon this outstanding opportunity,
President Marks points out.
The 25 square mile area is alrea
dy being equipped with buildings
and fences, partly through the ser
vices of a CCC camp located there at
present. It will be stocked with
some 200 head of cattle, as well as
experimental bands of sheep, the lat
ter to be grazed for the most part on
supplementary lands surrounding
the main tract. R. G. Johnson, for
mer county agent In Grant county
and now head of the newly estab
lished range livestock work at Ore
gon State college, will have imme
diate direction of the research pro
gram.

It is estimated that potato prices
In the United States are now bring
ing growers an average of only 50
per cent of their parity value. It is
the belief of AAA officials that by a
combination of diversion of excess
tonnage to industrial uses and crea
tion of marketing agreements in cer
tain areas, the average returns to
producers can be raised to about 75
per cent of parity. This would in
crease the returns to growers by 50
per cent and yet would increase the
price to consumers only 10 or 15
per cent, the officials declare.
The diversion plan would be op
erated in surplus regions whenever
the market was so glutted that
prices dropped to a point where con
version into by-products such as
livestock feed, potato flour, starch,
alcohol or similar products would be
practical. It is proposed to have the
government assist with such diver
sion under strict regulation as to
the percentage of any grower’s crop
used for these purposes.
The marketing agreement pro
posed for the western area would af
fect directly only the states of Colo
rado, Idaho, Nebraska and Wyoming.
A similar agreement could be pro
vided for other states now harvest
ing potatoes if the growers in such
states so desire.
Washington officials declare that
any such program to stabilize prices
is ultimately in the interests of con
sumers, as the wide fluctuations in
the past have caused consumers to
pay more for potatoes over a period
of years than they would have if
prices had been stabilized at a fig
ure affording reasonable returns to
growers.
OSC Buttermaker First at Show.
CORVALLIS—In competition with
the best buttermakers of the entire
United States, H. P. C. Nielson, but
termaker in the Oregon State college
creamery at Corvallis, won first
place for his sample of butter at the
recent Pacific International Live
stock exposition in Portland. Nine
ty samples of butter were entered
from nine states, second place go
ing to Ed Peterson of Villard, Minn.,
and third to Iowa State college.
Nielsen's butter won the unusually
high score of 95.5. He has won nu
merous other buttermaking prizes
both here and in the east. The O.S.
C. creamery is operated on a com
mercial basis as a training labora
tory for dairy products students and
to provide facilities for research in
this field.

that highway builders In recent years
have made new grade crossings fast
