IRRIGATION KEY At Crateriari Snarling Fascist Held at Gunpoint Thunder. June 29, 1944 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE THREE AIRLINE WOULD GROW San Francisco, June 29. (U.R) American Airlines, Inc., has applied to the civil aeronautics board for permission to extend its southern transcontinental route to San Francisco and Oak land, it was announced today. tx - . mm a i f tmfmm3r- TO T on ive KIWANIANS TOLD C. C. Hoover, Stockman and Seed Grower, Speaker At Luncheon Told History Irrigation is the key to the future development of agricul ture in Rogue River valley, and especially for the development of the seed industry, stated C. C. Hoover, valley stockman and seed grower, in an address to the Medford Kiwanis club yes terday noon. Mr. Hoover de clared that this valley has the best pasture land in the world and that the future of the seed industry, if the land upon which it is grown is engineered proper ly for drainage and irrigation, is very bright. Mr. Hoover touched upon some of the early agricultural r if m 1 Ii 'I Now playing ai the Craierian "Song of the Open Road," with Edgar Bergen, Charlie Mc Carthy, Jane Powell, W. C.

The film ends Saturday night. history of the district and told of his development of the winter blue grass, ladino clover, Sudan grass, and more recently, the lotus clover, as pasture grass and for seed harvest in this val ley. He stated that 45 tons of ladino clover seed was harvested in the valley last summer and predicted that this figure would be more than doubled this com ing year. Seventy-five per cent of all the ladino seed sold in the nation is grown in Jackson and Josephine counties, according to Mr. Hoover. Grass Seed Harvested Describing the experiments with the sudan grass, Mr. Hoover said that about half a million pounds of this grass seed were harvested in this district last year. He also told of the experi mental plantings of Eagle Point hop clover, reporting that some 150 acres of this clover is now being grown in the Eagle Point district. Also of interest was Mr. Hoov er's statement that since lands of the Camp White reservation have been leased back to private in terests, a number of new plants has been found growing there. The agriculturist told of harvest conditions the past few years. stated that his son, Claude, had designed some of the machinery found necessary for efficient harvesting of the seed crops and that his crops had been harvest ed since the war almost entirely by high school students and soldiers. Meeting Day Changed Guests at the meeting were Hobart Price and Bruce Stewart, the latter county supervisor for the Farm Security administration here. The Kiwanis club has changed its meeting day from Tuesday to Wednesday of each week at the Holland Hotel.

Final recommendations as sent to. Washington called for very few changes from the 1944 pro gram. It was strongly urged that the 1945 program be set up with out any soil-building allowance for Individual farms. It was also pointed out that the Triple A's conservation program could be greatly improved if it were set up on a continuing basis. By con tinuing basis, it is meant that the program should not be form ally announced each year, but should carry on from year to year with the necessary changes announced before the cropping season starts. It was the general agreement of both county and state com mitteemen that the 1944" conser vation program was the most satisfactory one that we have had to date and that it was very adaptable to Oregon conditions. Housewives Asked To Help Store Eggs The War Food Administration is broadcasting an appeal to American housewives to help meet the critical situation in the poultry industry which has arisen because of inability to find enough storage space to handle the excess spring egg production which is being pur chased by the government to support fdrm prices. In a state ment issued by Administrator Jones he says that the country temporarily has more eggs than cold storage capacity can care for. The help of every home in America is needed to meet this emergency storage problem and to save from spoilage eggs that will be needed in the future. At the time Jones issued the state ment there were 1400 carloads, or approximately 25 million dozen eggs on hand for which no storage space could be found. The appeal is for every house wife to buy an extra dozen of eggs, or more if possible, and store them under refrigeration for future use. Eggs can be kept in the family refrigerator in good condition. It will not be long until production will de cline seasonally, hence extra eggs saved over for that time will be both welcome and profit able. Oregon is one of the surplus-producing states, so the poulfrymen in this state are in terested in seeing that this cam paign to keep more eggs under home refrigeration is successful. R. G. Fowler, County Agent. Beetles and Bugs Now Out in Force Cucumber beetles and squash bugs are now out in force and control measures should be adopted if serious damage is to be averted. The cucumber beetles are the size and shape of lady fugs, but have twelve spots on their backs. Barb er s Observations JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES Compiled by County Office 0. S. C. Extension Service These beetles feed 'on beans, cu cumbers, squash, melons and other plants. Standard recom mendation for control is to dust with one ounce of calcium arsen ate in a pound of landplaster. Spraying or dusting with regu lar lead arsenate will also give control. For a spray use a heap ing tablespoon per gallon of water. Squash bugs feed on the leaves and stems and as well as sucking out the sap, they carry squash wilt which is very de-j strtirHvp Plunle ,'hi.-h nrv hnal. ' thy one day and all wilted the next are most likely affected by wilt. Sprays for control of squash bugs give very poor re sults. About the only practical control is to regularly hand pick and destroy the bugs. Go over the plants once a day and pick off the adult bugs and drop them into a can containing about an inch of stove oil or kerosene; this quickly kills them. The eggs are orange col ored and laid on the under sur face of the leaves. These should be crushed whenever found. Daily persistence in the early part of the season will be re warded by fair control.

Cody, Assistant County Agent REA HUNGER STRIKE St. Louis, June 29 (U.R) Chester Lake, former adminis trative representative for the Rural Electrification association whose job was abolished, went on a hunger strike today and said he would fast until Presi dent Roosevelt or congress freed the REA from political influence. Ten million synthetic rubber tires, 96 per cent as good as the natural rubber product, have al ready been produced, Robert S. Wilson, viee-presiderfl of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., announced. How the nearly million people in this town get themselves sort ed out, take the right cars and arrive at their own homes is be yond me. But they do. Further more, they sort me out, too, put me on the right car and shove me off in front of my own door. And a mighty good thing it is they do, for I can get more lost in a six-block area in the city than in six square miles of; woods. So if the people up here don't want me cluttering up their streets all night, it's up to them to see that I get home. So far, they have. How city people come by this homing instinct, I don't know. I've wondered if it's some vita min they get that country people like me haven't had. I know I've heard lots more about the im portance of vitamins since here than I ever did before. Not that I hadn't read about them before, but here they're given a lot of publicity. Placards posted in grocery and drug stores remind you to get your quota of vita mins; eat certain foods and you'll see better; eat certain other foods and you'll be able to work harder. So I've wondered if the people here have a secret vitamin, like nations have a secret weapon, which gives them a homing instinct. I mean to look into this. If there is such a thing, it can count me among its addicts. Then maybe in time I'll get my directions under control and head south instead of north like I've been doing the last few months. Which would mean that eventually I'd work my way back to Hillside. Today I tried to change my December hat for a summer model but milliners seemed so indifferent as to whether I did or not that I gave up and came home. Maybe it made them feel discouraged, seeingM also needed a new dress and hair-do; and gloves and shoes. Maybe they thought so trifling a thing as a hat wouldn't do much to improve the general shambles, so why bother. , I know. how that is. If It hap pens that I need to bake, wash and mend overalls all the same day, I feel so bogged down I go for a bird walk. So I think I know what ailed the milliners; I presented just too many problems.
