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.

' 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

seeds will be largely prevented
and the thistle crop next year
should not be as bad.
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-

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.

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 -

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. I hJ

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.
