GENERAL RAIN IN
VALLEY AND HILLS
Rain fell generally over the
high hills and valleys of the
Rogue River valley yesterday
with little if any snowfall in the
mountains, except pn the higher
peaks. The California - Oregon
Power company reported heavy
and continuous rains yesterday
in their territory. On one point
with an elevation of 6000 feet,
there was rain but no snow.
Assistant County Agent C. B.
Cordy said the rain would be
highly beneficial to irrigation
districts, particularly the Emi
grant Dam and Hyatt Prairie
areas, both with large drainage
serving the Talent district and
upper valley sections.
Manager Ed N. Judd of the
Medford irrigation said the run
off water would benefit Fish
Lake and Four Mile Lake stor
age water.
Streams and creeks of the
county were running nearly
bank full as a result of the
downpour.

control
apple
aphids
Apple aphids yearly cause considerable com
mercial damage to apples in the Rogue River
Valley and other important apple growing
districts.
This problem may easily be solved by spray
lng with ZW-Dry Mix added to the regularly
used dormant spray oil and applied to the
trees during the dormant season. This spray
gives a COMPLETE SEASON CONTROL
for the reason it kills all aphis eggs contacted,
thus stopping the pest before it hatches.
JDJV-Dry Mix when applied as recommended
as a true dormant spray will not interfere
with subsequent scale sprays; it assists in scale
control with oil, is easy to mix, and requires
no spreader, sticker or wetting agent. One
thorough application per year is sufficient.
For further information on .DAT-Dry Mix for
aphid control, or on AM11 for the control of
rust mites and spider mites in this area, we
suggest you consult your County Horticulturist
or your local Dow Insecticide Dealer.
