MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1942. PAGE THREE Jackson County Farm Notes Compiled by County Office O.S.C. Extenion Service The Admiral Arrives In a Blimp SCHOOL GiArruey Breeders BcAklet Available A membership directory has, been published by the Oregon , State Guernsey Assn., and copies i re now available at the county agents' office, courthouse, Med ford. This directory Includes' all the breeders in Oregon and lists the number of purebreds. number of grades, location of farm and names of herd sires. Jackson county has seven breed ers listed with 284 head of Guernsey cattle. This list does not include beginners who only own a pure bred sire. The book let will be very handy for any one wishing such a directory of local Guernsey herds and is a praiseworthy effort of the State Guernsey Association. Crop Conditions Battered by Rain. Rains over the last week end have done a vast amount of good to growing crops in the county. Some grain has headed out dur ing the dry weeks and it is doubtful if this will be much of a crop, even with a large amount of moisture. The first crop of alfalfa may be short; another rain like the one we had is necessary in or der to wet the ground to suffi cient depth. The half inch of rain that fell only went down about two and one-half to three inches. 8aWag of Paper Kaeps Mills Busy A good many questions are being asked about waste paper. There has been some difficulty In selling wast paper due to the Inability of the consuming plants to handle the increased flow because of carloads being inadequately or badly packed. Magazines, newspapers and car tons should be bundled separate ly, the cartons being flattened. The material should be tied two ways securely in packages weighing about twenty-five pounds each. It is encouraging to know that a few months ago many of the country's paper mils were on the verge of shutting down completely, due to the lack of waste paper, the slack has now been taken up. A constant flow of waste paper h necessary to keep the mills going. Auto Graveyards To B Salvaged There has been some inquiry about the scrap iron in auto graveyards. We are told that a special commission has been set up in Washington, D. C, to han dle automobile junk and these yards will be handled separ ately. Wheat Quotk Referendum Scheduled May 2 Saturday, May 2, wheat grow ers of Jackson county will vote on whether or not they will have wheat quotas for 1942. All growers who have 15 acres of wheat or over are eligible to vote. Polls will be open in the courthouse auditorium, Med ford from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. All growers are urged to vote. In 1941 this matter of quotas was carried by a vote of about eighty percent, when sixty-six and two thirds percent was nec essary. If you are eligible and do not vote and are not satisfied with the result of the election, you have no one to blame but yourself. By R. G.

SWEM'S GIFT SHOP Tender Vegetables May Ba Planted Some of the vegetables tender to frost can be planted with a fair degree of safety on May 1. It takes about a week for the seedlings to come through the ground, after which time killing frosts are unusual except in fros ty locations. A 75 'foot row each of pole beans, bush beans and lima beans will keep a family well supplied. One-half pound of seed will plant a 75 foot row. The bush beans come on earlier than the pole beans, but the pole beans bear longer into the fall so the season is lengthened if both are planted. The seed should be planted two inches deep and the rows three feet apart. The bush bean plants should be three inches apart, the pole beans and lima beans two feet apart In the row. Stringless green pod or round pod kidney wax are good var ieties of bush beans while Ken tucky Wonder, Oregon Giant or Blue Lake are the most popular pole beans. Oregon pole lima or one of the bush types are sat-I isfactory limas. There is a serious blight that attacks bean plants, particularly the pole beans. This blight is carried over winter in the seeds. If you save your own seed and have been troubled with blight. it would be well to get fresh seed and plant in clean ground. Squash can also be planted now except in frosty locations. Yellow straight neck and zuc chini are good summer squash and while they are attacked by squash bugs, they are generally not too seriously affected and will produce a good crop partic ularly if kept well watered and fertilized. Delicious, Banana, Hubbard and Table Queen will produce a supply of squash that can be stored during the winter. Ban ana squash is difficult to grow because of squash bugs. Per sistently picking the bugs off by hand and destroying is the best means of control. The summer quash should be planted by three feet and the winter squash should be plant ed six feet by eight feet. Cabbage aphis is very active at the present time, but can be controlled by thorough spraying with nicotine sulfate. Use four teaspoonsful in three gallons of water and be sure to cover the under side of the leaves. By C. B. Cordy, Assistant County Agent Disabled Veterans Selling Seals for Public Awakening Members of Jackson County Chapter 8, Disabled American Veterans, have joined other vet eran groups In America in . an effort to further arouse the pub lice to the seriousnesn of tin. American groups now operating in this country. As part of their program the Disabled Veterans have adopted a "Patriotic Seal," about the size of an air mail stamp, and bearing a series of slogans, it is the hope of the Disabled Veterans that tav thpir general use the public will be come more conscious of condi tions now existing. "The seals were nlnrpH nn tola today by the members of the JacKson County Disabled Vet erans," stated Chapter Comman der Pat Graham, "and it is hoped by the veterans that ev ery one will avail themselves of the opportunity to secure some of the seals. Money raised by sale of the seals wil go to the Chapter Welfare fund." r TO VIE SATURDAY FOR AREA HONORS THREE UP . SIX TO GO Centralia, 111. (U.Rt Mrs. M.
