Dats
Dear.
The home folks celebrated
Memorial Day Wednesday with
the traditional parade and pro-
, cram, the latter at the city parte.
Those who had managed to save
up gasoline enough to travel to
Diamond Lake or other recrea
tion spots, tried their fishing
luck. The weather was a matter
of anxiety, for it had rained
nearly every day since the first
week of May and storms Monday
and Tuesday did some damage
to hav and grain. In one 24-hour
period it rained 1.21 inches, al
most a record for the period.
Major event of this week In
town was high school gradua
tion. A number of the 181 mem
bers of the class are in service al
ready and unable to be present
for the program, two gins,
Afton Guches and Barbara Mad-
do who are cadet nurses In
Vancouver were able to come
home In order to be present.
Elaine Walker is valedictorian
and David Chirgwin salutatorian
of the class.
Jacksonville also held gradua
tion Thursday night and St.
Mary's Academy services are set
for June 1. Almost all schools
of the valley are closing this
week. Over 700 have registered
for the Red Cross learn-to-swim
program to be held in Ashland.
Thirteen hundred people
crowded into the Holly theater
Monday night to hear the marine
band from Klamath Falls stage
a show for the seventh war loan
drive and others were turned
away. The men are all overseas
veterans.
A new grand jury was drawn
this week, but no cases were on
hand for them to consider. Hen
ry Galey of Ashland was named
foreman.
A wire from the Red Cross,
followed by a letter, informed
relatives this week that Lt.
Tommy White was out of prison
after having been held by the
Germans since Jan. 11, 1944. He
had been flown into France and
said that he was having trouble
getting used to "heavy eating".
White expects to be horns Jn
about a month.
A visitor here last week was

on survivor's leave, his second.

sinkings and was uninjured both
times. Lt. Stanley's father, Lt.
Com. Stanley, who is completing

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.

Assistant County Agent
