Extension Service Jersey Breeders' Picnic Scheduled Auguit 22 On August 22 Jersey breeders of six southern Oregon counties will meet for a short tour and picnic at Hanleylands on the west side of the valley. Follow ing the state meeting at Salem on August 20 when 50 victory Jersey bulls will be given away to selected dairymen, the Rogue River Valley Jersey club is to be hosts to Jersey breeders of Douglas, Coos, Curry, Josephine, Jackson and Klamath counties. Oregon breeders have pledged $8 of the nation's one thousand g bulls, given away by Jersey " breeders all over the United States. Six bull calves will be given away at the meeting on August 22. Jersey breeders have seen the need for improved sires in America's dairy herds and have adopted the victory bull pro gram as an aid in conquering ' the problem of low production. Ntw Program Sat For Government Held Wheat Wheat prices for disposal of surplus wheat for feed have been announced for Oregon in a new program just authorized under the terms of a recent ac tion by congress. This wheat will be delivered in Medford in carload lots in bulk for . .94 a bushel with an increase of half f cent per bushel each month be ginning in September. The price on this wheat is figured at approximately 85 per cent of the corn parity price and presents an attractive op portunity for farmers to con vert low priced wheat into high priced meat, eggs and dairy products. Deliveries of this government Wheat is made only in carload tots, either through local dealers or to individual or groups of in dividual farmers direct. Meat Shortage Holds Warning For Growers While meat shortages reported from some parts of the country have not occurred to any im portant extent in Oregon, the situation holds an element of warning to livestock producers. In Oregon, as well as elsewhere, farmers are raising the largest number of meat animals on rec ord, with marketing scheduled to reach an all time high this fall and early winter. Current shortages in some sections are caused by price control. Oregon raisers of fat stock are urged to move some stock, such at fat cows, to market in greater volume than usual this summer and early fall so as to avoid a possible congestion in slaughtering and shipping faci lities later on. By R. G. Fowler, ' County Agent. ' fie In Fall For . Tllow Star Thistle "'One means of keeping yellow star thistle under reasonable control in grain fields is to disc the field as soon as the grain is harvested. Yellow star thistle is an annual and must grow from seed every year. After the thistle once seeds it takes several years for all of the seeds in the soil to germinate so in spite of preventing the plants from seed fing, the weed will continue to be present for several years. However, if the fields are culti vated now the formation of new Otoe? QiEECflooofiMs NOW PINT Better... In Three Ways!

This cultivation after harvest will not eradicate the thistle. but if carefully practiced every year it will aid in keeping the thistle stand to a minimum. The county is anxious to co operate in thistle control along county roads. As the amount of wofk that can be done is limited, it has been the policy to oil the thistle along the road sides adjacent to fields where the farmer is attempting to get control and along roads where the fields are not infested. Where no effort is made to con trol the thistle in the field, it is, of course, useless to kill it along the roadside. Spidar MiU on Peaches Controlled by Sulphur Spotted spider mites have ap peared in large numbers in sev eral peach orchards. On peach trees, this mite attacks mainly the upper surface of the leaf. Its feeding turns the leaf sur face a mottled whitish gray color. The first color change is noted along the midrib. In severe infestations a webbing is also present. Some leaves will be affected on the lower sur face in which webbing is more frequently present. Unless your eyesight is good, a magnifying glass is 'necessary to see these spiders. Control Is obtained by spray ing with wettable sulphur, six pounds per 100 gallons or one ounce per gallon. Dusting with sulphur also gives control.. Ornamental trees such as willow and oak are also affected so if the leaves are turning yel low and dropping from trees that are not suffering from drought, they should be exam ined for this pest. By C. B. Cordy, Assistant County Agent. Fuse Box Important To Comfort, Safety Whether your house has just been wired for electricity or has had electricity for years, every adult in the family should un derstand what the fuse box is for, and what to do if a fuse blows out. Many women are a little uncertain about fuses, and ask the question, "Is it safe to handle fuses if one blows out?" Yes, it is perfectly safe for you to open up the fuse box and change fuses, if you go about it in the right way. Fuses, you know, are circuit ' breakers. They're the safety valves in the electrical system. Keep extra ones on hand in case one blows out. Of course, you should have enough circuits, each con trolled by a fuse, to carry all the applicances you have. Put a list of the lights and outlets on each circuit near the fuse box. When a fuse blows out it's usually an indication that there is a short circuit or an overload. Take out the fuses In the fuse panel, one at a time, and notice which lights and outlets are "dead." If the trouble has been an overload, merely putting in a new or bigger fuse will not cor rect the trouble, and is very dangerous. Instead, disconnect the appliance that makes the total current too high for the fuse in that line, and connect the appliance on another suit- ONLY $220 . . z i 1 FULL I QUART fgf I Jf heaenl aj able outlet In a line fused high enough to carry the total load. If the fuse is large enough for the load and still blows out, a broken wire somewhere is caus ing a short circuit. If the broken wire happens to be in the electrfc cord by which the piece of equipment Is attached to the circuit, most homemakers can mend that break. First, the insulation must be stripped back from the wires on either side of the break. The splices need to be offset about Vi inches, then twist the two ends of each wire together and if possible solder. Next, each wire should be wrapped with friction tape and then the two wires wrapped together with more friction tape. While many of the more specialized types of electrical repair should be done by a skilled worker, approximately 90 per cent of the electrical re pairs needed in the home are those on cords. With a little time and effort, the homemaker can master these. By Marian J. Farrell, Home Demonstration Agent. INSIST DIVISION "Powder River Let 'Er Buck" is the battle cry of the 91st division at Camp White, and through the purchase of a bond before August 15, can also be the battle cry of Jackson county bond 'holders. By pur chase of a bond on or before Saturday the holder automatic ally becomes an associate mem ber of the 91st division. The county bond sales com mittee announced today that thus far this week more than 3,000 persons have participated in bond purchases displaying their desire to aid in the cause of democracy and become asso ciate members of the famed division. A scroll containing the names of those who purchase bonds before Saturday will be present ed Major General Charles H. Gerhardt on activation day. Money derived from the bond purchases in the county this week will be earmarked for pur chase of weapons for the 91st division. Figures from the bond sales committee show that at maturity value the bonds should provide the 91st division with 6.250 new M-l Garand rifles. 625 peeps or 77 hard-hitting 37 MM anti-tank guns. W. A. Gates, chairman of the coimty bond sales committee, pointed out that Jackson county residents have backed past bond drives wholeheartedly and it is anticipated that the county will again go "over the top". Pending further investiga tion by the district attorney, a decision in the case of L. L. Hobbs, charged In a complaint signed by I. N. Shults. with de frauding an apartment house landlord, was defered In Justice court yesterday Shults alleges In the com plain that Hobbs owes him S48.75 for rent on an apartment at 16 North Orange street, and that Hobbs removed a number of suitcases and a fur coat, be longing to Mrs Hobbs, valued at $130. Hobbs testified he was paying $65 per month rental and did not move his possessions, as was alleged, but left them with a neighbor renter in the same building. The Hobbs then moved to a hotel. The sheriff's office reported two or three complaints had been received recently regard ing a trailer camp owner, who allegedly threatened to "blow the tires" on the autos of guests of ground renters, with a rifle, if they did not pay an extra fee. The camp owner claimed the fee, if the guests stayed over night. torn - inn i " 1 - Rural Areas Ready With "Fire hm iiei.rTrT1atiwseaii nt f unl n in T fr" -f tm ,,. , Singing Star Nets $13,000 On Sale of Fabulous Estate By Bob Mus.l United Press Staff Correspondent New York (UP) Gertrude Niesen sometimes thinks the $13,000 profit she got for reselling the fabulous Oelrichs estate at Newport, R. I., isn't much against the fun she might have had by opening the big house before the shocked eyes of swank shore society. Miss Niesen is the singing star i whose mother bid in the $2,500,. 000 mansion for $21,000 when it was up at auction last year. A couple of weeks ago her agent got a phone call from Virginia. I want to buy the house that actress bought," said the caller. The agent thought it was a gag and forgot about it after setting a figure he considered high. A few days later the Vir- giman was on the phone again. "I'm ready to close," he said. Never Liv.d In It So the great house with its 50 rooms, its 22 bedrooms (all with fireplaces) passed right through Gertrude's carmine tipped fingers before she even had a chance to live in it. Considering the whole affair between shows at a night club, Gertrude agreed that $13,000 profit went a long way to as suage any regret. "Maybe," she said, "I ld the wise thing. Certainly I don't need a house of that magnitude. The old owners had 35 servants. There's Just my father, mother and myself and we can be happy with much less my 17-room house in California, for in stance." She smiled the mischievous smile that crinkles her eyes and makes people invariably call her "exotic." "Still, it might have been in teresting for a season or so. I understand there was quite a to-do because I bought lt, but they needn't have worried. I think they could have learned to like showfolks. Water Pipes Broka "And I wish someone would tell that chap In Virginia (Ray Alan Van Cliff of Estmont, Va.) that I'm a singer, rather than an actress, even though I'm going out to make a picture this fall and I have done some emoting." A little knot of autograph seekers invaded the night club and stood around In a silent, in tent group. Miss Niesen reached for a Dencil. "I had quite a bit of grief with that place even without liv ing In it," she said. "Last winter the pipes froze and broke and the house was flooded.

OUTPUT SPEEDED San Francisco, Aug. 13 (fp) Five hydroelectric generators with a combined power poten tial of Z75.0U0 kilowatts are scheduled for installation within the next two years at Shasta and Keswick dams on the Sacra mento river, the office of war in formation said today. Higher priority ratings have been obtained by the bureau of reclamation for the Shasta proj ect, OWI announced, so that Its great power development may be brought more quickly into war production. Previously there had been wide belief -and some official ex pression of opinion that the Shasta project might be neglect ed temporarily in favor of other dams more nearly ready to put generating equipment Into ac tive use.
