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

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.

Recommendations For
1945 Conservation
Oregon recommendations for
the 1945 conservation program
have recently been discussed by
county and state committeemen.
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.

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.

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.

REA HUNGER STRIKE
St. Louis, June 29 (U.R)
Chester Lake, former adminis

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.
