Ore., Juno 21 (&) Declaring that the whole-henrtel public support in the prevention of forest flie.s hftM not yet been at tained, in Hplto of tholr defltruotlve ness tu forest reserves, 15. I. Kotok, (lireetor of the California forest ex periment station, ureH that seien tistB of the nation lornl their liesi pfforla to the problem of forest fi'e control. He spoke at the amuiM nii'etiiiK of the Pacific coast divis ion of the American Association for tlie Advancement of Science. An "annual crop" of lRS.OOO Torest fires in the United States he .said, explulns why American foresters devote much of their time t the problems of fire control. H- spoke of investigations of the Su (jit"W Washlngtonia. which carry fit,t fire history a far back .i 24fi .a. d.; ' nuoted Dana's "Tv Years P.efoi'e the Mast," in which the writer vividly describes a ras ing forest fire on the mountain sides near the present site of Sant.i Ifarbara n hundred years ago. and remarked that Mark Twain, "In his own impish way. recounts his set ling fires In the Lake Tahoe -region just to enjoy the spectacle." There are six ways in which fires contrive each year to destroy the forest resources of the country. These are, according to Dr. Kotok: Hy burning trees at the base so they cannot withstand the mechanical strain placed upon them; by killing; of the cambium layer; uy burning part of the crown nnd reducing the vigor and rate of growth of the trees; by reducing vigor, . thereby Increasing susceptibility to Insect and fungi attack; by completely wiping out younger stands of trees " in seedling and spalfng stage; by reduction of the site quantity ihroiigh removal of organic ma- Ifieria and arceiei'aung procosH..v. l erosion. ' "" " Even- the lightest fire, Kotok said, may produ.ee some of thens deleterious results. In intense fires, he said, complete destruction may be expected. Hut the destruction of timber alone and the effect of fires on fu ture growth of timber Is not th-- only problem. Dr. Kotok ex plained, "In the western United States." he said, "where forests have a pe culiarly significant hearing on water resources, a single fire by the removal of the vegetable cover may produce disastrous results to de pendent agricultural lands. Our ex perimental data show that by re moving through fire the litter, ba in us and organic material in the forest, there will be an Increase of Immediate run-off one hundred fold, and the eroded material one thousand fold. "Where a forest becomes an Im portant watershed," he concluded. "it Is obvious! that every fire Is a threat to dependent agriculture." t Dr. Kotok Hummed up his paper I I Cith the conclusion: "Until the forester Is abU to secure reason- i able flre exclusion the development i and use of out western forests will f 4 le delayed for untold centuries."

Expert Shows That Clean Product Can Be Placed On ' Market, at Low Cost Tolerance Is Found Below Established Mark. ' TIlHi i:li. Ore:, June -21. (fl1) Declo ring that there is now no excuse for the marketing of any bill clean fruit,, free of either worms or supposedly poisonous spray residue. Dr. J. S. Jones, chemist of Oregon State college, toId'as.semhIed members of the Pa cific eoast division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, of progress made In the t rea tment of apples, pears a nd other fruit. Admitting that wormy fruit Is unmarketable, and fruit with resl due, of spray materials too much In evidence, is questionable In the eyes of the- consumer. Or. Jones said experience of tlie last five years has shown that sprny resldues of all kinds at the time of harvest unci packing can be re moved from apples and pears at relatively light expense and with sufficient thoronesH "to meet the : most exacting requirements of i pure food officials." "In Homo respects it seems I strange that nfter a half century j oj' more of experience in combat ting Insect enemies of garden, field and orchard crops, the producer must still rely upon the use of compounds whose elements We definitely associated in the minds r the public with virulent toxicity in humans," Or. Jones said. , "In recent times the grower of apples and pears has been promi nently before the consuming pub lic because no thoroly satisfactory substitute for arsenlcals has been found for control of the codling moth. Whenever that pust has become firmly established, clean cropsv oCappIes and pours .cunnoi be produced without frequent and liberal applications of ursenlcalH on the part of the producer through out the growing season." Dismissing the question of spray adhering (o the skins of fruit, a condition that Is easily eliminated by use of one of the several wash ing baths nvallable, Dr. Jones spoke at length on Ihe matter of arsenlcals in the flesh of the fruit itself. JOxperiments indicate, he pointed out, that minute traces of arsenic, known as the "ubiquitous" element, are present in practically all organic cells. Publicity recent ly given to this fact has prompted a "scare" In Home circles where It was not understood that the ele ment In such minute quantities must be harmless. Arsenic, he said, is preen t In practically all soils. Fruit taken from orchards known never to have been sprayed have been found to contain minute traces of a I'M nfc, assimilated from the soil. Other orchards, principally those that have been sprayed with ar senic compounds, contain more nixenle In the soil, but none to such nn extent as to wnrrnnt even passing uneasiness. Dr. Jones pointed mil that food products intended for Interstate or foreign shipment must nof con tain arsenic, calculated as the trl oxlde, in excess of 1-100 gralnH per pound. I lis analytical work shows. Dr. Jones declared, that pears nnd apples actually conluln not more than from H-10,000 to 411-10,000 grains per pound even from orch ards where nrsenlc deposits ore great. "The maximum amount of ar senic then thus far found In the flesh of apples nnd pears In spray- SPRAY RESIDU OR WORM RIT COUNT MAIL TRIBUNE YELLOW BOXES ON COUNTRY ROADS AND HIGHWAYS It's A Good Way To Check Country Circulation m1 orchard is far, far below the tnltM-am-e estubllshcd by pure food officials," ihe chemist declared. 10 BE READY SOON KLAMATH IS TOLD expectations that the work on the tireen Springs highway would bo completed this year, were voic ed by C. K. (iates, member of the state highway com mission, who was in Klamath Falls Tuesday. "Pop" Iates, as he is so often culled, was accompanied by W. (.'. Chandler, division engineer. lioth officials stated that Ihe work is being rushed and Is one of ihe most unique strips of high way work ever undertaken. At the present time, they explained, every type of highway construc tion work is being accomplished on that highway, something never bi foie attempted. This Is due lo the fact that each section of the road Is being completed as they go along. (1 niding, straightening, rocking, widening, oiling, and ev erything Is going on at the same time on the different stretches of road. Including the new bridge which is being built at Keno. When it is completed Klamath county will have a speedway of mountain road r0 miles in length that will be one of tlie best high ways In tho country. Tourist travel this way Ms only being held up u year Instead of two, three, five or more years If the work had been started at the same time on the entire road instead of piece meal, Mr. Ciates explained. Dangerous curves urc being eliminated, points cut off and ra v i nes f I lied In. " Wo rk o u rosu r fncing into Klamath Falls Is now under way. Construction work on this highway will aggregate almost jr.oo.(MM), (bites suited, Klamath Fulls News, Flrst deliveries" on Majestic re frigeratorsi which have been await ed In Medford, will bo mud) in July, according to announcement niado Saturday by Olayton Isaacs, of the Palmer Music House.

Oregon'a dairy Industry, respon sible for about one-seventh of th agricultural Income of tho slate, is successfully weathering serious depression that followed the dis astrous slump In prices la.st win ter, judging from observation made in connection with the l.oo.u mile tour of the stale made by Lh dairy demonstration train nf t"i Oregon State college ami the S. P. & S. road. This does not mean that every dairyman is prospering or that all are not still feelln;; the pinch of low price that have in many In stances wiped out the margin of immediate profit. What lH indi cated is that the Oregon dairy In dustry In the main Is securely enough established on sound eco nomic factors, that It has not ben as severely shaken as in some other sections where boom conditions grew out of price Inflation. One of the1 factots favoring Oregon dairymen ! Hint average production per cow Is considerably higher than for the I'nlted Slates as a whole In fact, Is fifth among the stales In this respect. Oregon Is fourth among the states iu percentage , of cows m cow testing associations, and tv. 12.000 cows under the test average above ihe HOO-pouml mark In an nual bull erf at production a rec ord not equalled in any other state. Part of the reason for this bet tered production record for Ore gon a 2 1 6,000 dairy cows comes ; from the fact that this state stand! fifth In the country for the pro-j portion of purebred sires used In1 the herds. As high producing cows; are so horn and not made by en-! vlronment, this Is one of the most important factors contributing ;o the average Increase of some 30 poundfl per cow In the Inst 10 years. The state, has been particularly fnvored in opportunity to build up quality lalry herds through the presence of many of tho world's greatest purebred dairy animals, In the Jersey breed this advantage Is particularly notable In that Ore gon wlU.only five per cent of the Jersey cows holds more produc tion records than nil other states combined. Taking nil breeds Ore gon has fewer than l.fi per cent -if the registered animals, but holds 8.0 per cent of tho records nnd honors. Thus from the production stand point th0 Oregon dairy industry has been steadily advancing and is In a favored position. Feed con ditions this spring nnd summer have been favorable following an unprecedented dry fall in which pastures wero practically nonexistent.

ONLY D9C E From the marketing standpoint, on the other hand, Oregon has not advanced to the degree shown in some other leading dairy states, nnd- much of the territory traverse l on the tour of tho train is look ing toward improvements in thU respect. The lower Columbia re gion with the largest cooperative creamery development In the' statu 1 the notable exception. Ten years ago Oregon had HO creameries manufacturing an aver age of about lfiti.000 pounds of butter each. Today it has 10X creameries with an average produc tion of close to 240,000 pounds o? butler. While this Is a real im provement, lenders in the Industry are convinced that fewer and larg er manufacturing plants especially among the cooperatives would ma terially Increase the marketing pos sibilities with consequent higher returns to tho grower. Such a nierger or federation of cooperatives Is now being proposed the plans being worked out In cooperation with the federal farm hoard representatives and the stale college ex-tension service. The lower Columbia cooperative dairy association has been tho first to use federal Inspection service In this state nnd now Includes a cer tificate of quality In eaoh package of Its inspected butter. The bulk of butter produced by other creamer ies, both private nnd cooperative, has failed to Increase the outside market as rapidly a desired. A definite improvement In aver age butter quality through thd state is being noted in the last year or so and exports had In creased proportionately. Oregon, in fnct, increased Its California sales by 75 per cent last yeaf, which Is more than twice the in crease of any. neighboring state. In the portion of the state touch ed by the demonstration train bounded by Kugene oh the north and Redmond on the east, there I no talk of booming the dairy In dustry, but there Is everywhe' among the better farmers a confi dence in the future of the Industry In Oregon. - 1 ; v .
