Cow Testing Association
Revival Is Sought
Efforts are now being made to
revive the county dairy Improve
ment association which was a
war i -malty. There is consider
able local Interest In this project
and anyone wishing to sign up
their cows in order to give us an
estimate as to how many cows
can be on hand in the formation
of a new association can do so
at this office. Know what your
Individual cows can do. Monthly
tests and weighing of milk is the
only way to find out.
Beed Certification
Applications Taken
Applications are now being
taken for seed certification for
1945. As there will be a large
acreage it is necessary to start
this earlier this year and some
fields may be inspected before
the usual time. Last season quite
a large acreage was not certified
and the growers found that
where uncertified, the clover be
came common white cover, as
the government will not accept
Lndlno clover under interstate
shipments unless it has been ab
solute1 identified as Ladino.
White clover is worth one-third
as much as Ladino.
American Jersey
Cattle Club Award
The registered Jersey herd of
C. J. & Irel L. Hunter of Talent
has been awarded the Construc
tive Breeders Registry Award by
the American Jersey . Cattle
Club. This is the first time an
awai 1 of this kind has been
given to a Jersey breeder in
Jackso" county. The herd quali
fied for a 1944 herd average of
522 pounds butterfat and a four
year hard average of S16.25
pounds butterfat, all records
made i twice a day milding.
The herd has been three times
officially classified for type with
the conformation rating now
standing of 86.5 per cent. Every
female in the herd is an official
Jersey herd registry test and all
females are home bred.
In recognition of constructive
effort to improve the Jersey
breed through production test
ing, type classification, disease
eradication and cooperation with
other breeders, the constructive
breeders award was made for
the year 1945.
Hay Ceiling Prices
Given By OPA
The latest information on cell
ing prices on hay as given out
by the Office of Price Adminis
tration are: Alfalfa ungraded,
from May to October Inclusive,
$21.00. Alfalfa heavily mixed
with i -ier classes of hay, grain,
vetch and grain mixed hay,
$19.00. This price is increased
by $5.00 per ton after hay is
baled.
If the producer sells the hay
grown by him in less than car
load lots and delivers the hay to
feeders, the base price is in
creased $1.50 per ton plus the
transportation cost.
Outlook For Eggs
Changed From '44
Scarcity of meat to fill the de
mands of well-filled U. S. pocket
books has greatly changed the
egg situation. A year ago, sur
plus eggs were flooding the mar
kets. Today the into-storage
movement is small and the
USDA says that civilian demand
for eggs during the last half of
1945 may be greater than the
supply. Requirements of eggs
for non-civilian consumption is
smaller this year than in 1944
but civilian consul . tion probab
ly has reached a new record so
far this . ear. Egg production for
the first quarter of this year was
7 per cent below last year but
still was the second largest on
record for th.se three months.

I Pear Blight Showing
In Several Orchards
There were several orchards
this week where new Infections
of pear blight showed up. These
Infections were for the most part
in second blooms althougn some
of them were in regular first
bloom pears.
The situation at present is not
serious but if you can imagine
trying to fight a blight epidemic
with no experienced hands, you
can easily see why it is a cause
for worry.
As these new infections come
from holdover cankers, the first
step in control is to search out
these holdovers. In most cases
the holdover will be in the near
vicinity of the new infections.
When found, these holdovers
should be thoroughly cleaned
out ar treated with blight dope.
This dope is made by dissolving
one tablet each of mercuric
chloride and mercuric cyanide in
a pint of water. The bark re
moved from the canker should
be carried out of the orchard and
burned.
Cutting out these new infec
tions is a very particular Job. As
the blight moves very rapidly in
the tissues at this time of year
the bacteria are well beyond any
visible discoloration. In cutting
blight now, extreme care must
be used to cut well below any
sign, of the blight. Short cuis
will continue to develop and re
sult in an increase of new infec
tions. Orchards should be patrolled
very carefully for the next few
weeks especially where there
are a scattering of second blooms
present A little care spent in
keeping blight under control
now will pay big dividends in la
bor and crop saved later in the
summer.

Assistant County Agent.
4-H Can Offer
Wool Exhibits
Wool can be exhibited by ev
ery 4-H club member who has
sheep. Fleeces will be judged at
the county fair and if the club
member desires will be sent to
the Pacific International for the
Pacific Wool . Growers Assn.
show.
Fleeces that win will be clean
and dry, free from foreign mat
ter such as dirt and straw. Re
move the fleece carefully so it
is not torn apart, use only paper
twine in tying fleeces, wrap in
paper and store in a cool place
until fait time.
County fair premiums plus
those at Portland can add quite
a little to the income of a sheep
club member.

FOR VALLEY GOOD
Fall sown wheat, oats and
barley crops of the valley now
have good prospects, but spring
sown grain suffered a setback
due to the warm days of late
April and the first of this month.
County Agent Robert G. Fowler
reports. Recent rains will enable
the spring grain to recover, it is
anticipated. The wheat acreage
is estimated the same as last
year at 6000 acres. The corn
acreage is fixed at 4000 acres.
Due to many backyard flocks
being established this spring, the
chicken production will show a
gain over last year, the county
agent states. The heavy demand
caused a drop during the winter.
Due to confusion over bureau
regulations, there is now a short
age of hogs. This is expected to
be remedied by the fall farrow
ing, forecast to show an in
crease. Weaner pigs are now
selling at from $12 to $15 apiece,
a high price, Fowler explains.
There are plenty of beef cat
tle, all of which will be on sum
mer ranges not later than June
15.
