Dats Dear. The home folks celebrated Memorial Day Wednesday with the traditional parade and pro- , cram, the latter at the city parte.

JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES Compiled by County Office 0. S. C Extension Service Bordeaux For Blight Control In order to obtain first hand Information regarding the rum ored use of Bordeaux for blight control, Prof. F. C. Rclmer, E. S. Degmnn and I visited the pear growing areas In California. In the Placcrvillo area there were numerous instances of sprayed orchards with blight control and adjoining unsprayed orchards with lots of blight. The material used almost ex clusively at Placervilla was 2 pounds of freshly prepared sin gle package Bordeauv per 100 gallons of water. The growers aim to apply lt as soon as the pulk of the blossoms are open. This year a rain In full bloom held up spraying for a few days. In these orchards, good control was obtained where the spray ' was applied before the rain, but little difference could be seen between the late sprayed and where no spray was applied. It may be that as the season ad vances, the late spraying by pro tecting late opening blossoms would show to advantage over the unsprayed areas. To show the measure of con trol, a few counts were made of blight infection in sprayed trees and adjoining unsprayed trees (in the same orchard). Infections per tree in the sprayed area were, Orchard No. 1: 8, 15, 17, 17; unsprayed area 90, 53, 52, 82. Orchard No. 2: sprayed, 4, 0, 6, 6; unsprayed, 66, 252, 300, 199. As the spray must be applied prior to Infection which In that area occurs mainly during rainy spells, the county agent there recommends 3 sprays for com plete protection. These to be ap plied when the trees are 30 in bloom, 60 In bloom and in full bloom. At Marysville the large Earl Fruit Co. orchards use dusts ex clusively. They apply a dust composed of 20 monohydrated copper sulphate and 80 lime. The first dust is applied when the buds start to open and an additional application is made every week. This year six appli cations were made. Since this program has been carried out, blight control has not been a problem. Before that time, blight was a major problem practically every year. In Lake county, the county agent reports that about 90 of the growers add Bordeaux to the first calyx spray. Two pounds of freshly prepared two package Bordeaux is in most common use although some use only 12 ounces per 100 gallons and figure they get good control. As there was not much blight in the district, clear cut evidence of control was not obtained. The use of Bordeaux for blight control In the Medford area dates back to 1923. At that time Prof. F. C. Relmer made some tests and good blight control was obtained but lt was discon tinued because of russeting. The California people are now using a very weak Bordeaux. In their areas practically no russeting re sults on Bartletts and very, little on Bosc or Nells. As russeting Is worse where more rain falls, we would probably get soma russet even on Bartletts. As in most years the bulk of our blight starts in the late bloom, it would appear that Med ford growers would be justified in adding 2 pounds of freshly prepared Bordeaux to the calyx spray on Bartletts and where blight has been a problem, also on Bosc, Nells and Cornice. Rus seting may be rather severe on Anjous. If further protection Is desired a spray or dust should be ap plied in full bloom. These sug gestions are of course prelimin ary and experiments will need to be conducted to adapt them to local conditions. C. B. Cordy, Assistant County Agent Second Cover Spray Due Soon The second cover spray for the control of codling moth on pears and apples should be completed on June 10. This recommenda tion has been made In cooper ation with L. G. Gentner of the So. Oregon Experiment Station, Use 3 pounds arsenate of lead Vs to V pound Colloidal 77 and 1 quart of stove oil. Add to parti ally filled tanks in order listed, With astringent lead, use Multi film instead of Colloidal 77. Mineral oil for egg control does not appear justified at least until after we have had several warm nights. C. B. Cordy Assistant County Agent VEGETABLE JUICES TO TAKE POINT REDUCTION Washington, June 1. (U.R)- Lower point values in June for tomato and mixed vegetable juices and higher values for canned tomatoes and canned spinach were announced today by the office of price administration. The new values take effect June 3 and continue through June 30. NOTICE OF SCHOOL MEETING inmrii to inrnrnv otvitm tn th. ImhI voters of School District No. 4. of Jackson County.
