Alta Fescue Strain Important Crop The importance of alta fescue, an improved strain of tall fescue, in the farming system of western Oregon is summarised in a new bulletin, "Alta Fescue Produc tion in Oregon," just issued by the O. S. C. Experiment Station. This station bulletin 427 is writ ten by H. H. Rampton, associate federal agronomist stationed at the college, who has worked with H. A. Schoth, senior federal agronomist, throughout the period of commercial develop ment of this grass. Alta fescue is now used in Oregon both for its high forage value and as a profitable seed crop, inasmuch as it is meeting good demand in many parts of the country. Experimental re sults in many states indicate that the grass is suited to a greater variety of conditions in both eastern and western sections ni the United States, so long as the average annual precipitation is about 15 inches or better. These, widespread tests show that alta' fescue will thrive where meadow fescue, orchard grass, and perennial rye grass are used and will generally outyield these grasses, says Rampton. It is More Comfort Wearing FALSE TEETH Here is a pleasant way to overcome loose plate discomfort. FASTEETH. an Improved powder, sprinkled on upper and lower plates holds them firmer so that they feel more com fortable. No gummy, soopy, pasty taste or feeling. It's alkaline (non acid).

This grass has attained wide popularity in Oregon because of its deep-rooting habit which keeps it green during the dry season long after most other grasses have turned brown. It is now used widely as a com panion crop for subterranean clover. The new bulletin, which gives full cultural information, records the fact that the first selection of alta fescue was made in 1923 from a four-year-old stand of tail fescue by Mr. Schoth. The first seed increase planting was not made until 1932 while the initial commercial seed harvest was as recent as 1936. Since that time the acreage has increased in Ore gon to a total now estimated in excess of 50,000 acres. R. G. FOWLER, County Agent. Pear Pruning Problem Centeri Attention Just how much to prune pear trees, particularly Anjous, is a problem that is receiving a lot of attention right now. Some Anjous that were heavily prun ed last year seemed to bear bet ter crops than lighter pruned trees. As a result many growers intend to prune more heavily this year. This should not be carried to an extreme. It has been found generally by growers that Anjou crops are better following mod erately heavy pruning. If this is carried to an extreme, the tree is reduced in size and the fol lowing years less pruning must be done. It is generally conceded that best results follow an annual fairly heavy pruning on Anjous. Extremes of light pruning and such heavy pruning that consid erable large wood is removed should be avoided. As for Bosc and Bartlett, light pruning is very much to be pre ferred. Better crops always fol low light pruning of these varie ties. This will be particularly so of Bartlett this year as the Tfo war-born Motor Oil OXIDATION :1 X 1 New ingredient in Golden Shell is good news for cars of all ages WHEN SOMETHING gums up the oiling system in your engine, look out That's exactly what happens when oxidation occurs in motor oil. Oxidation is the parent of sludge . . . that sticky, gummy substance which gets into oil lines and oil filters, and cuts down the flow of good lubricants to a point where the engine suffers from oil starvation. To minimize oxidation in motor oil was the objective of intensive wartime research. Success rewarded the scientists, and now you can buy Golden Shell Motor Oil containing a war-born oxidation inhibitor that's added during manufacture. Because of this inhibitor, new Golden Shell stays full-bodied and free-flowing from one oil drain to the next . . . offers better protection to cars of all ages. This new and better motor oil is waiting for you at the nearby Shell station. Shell Oil Company, Incorporated. SHELL CREDIT CARDS ARE BACK. Honored at all Shell stations In United States and Canada.

If time does. not permit the pruning of all varie ties the Bosc and Bartlett will suffer the least by such neglect. C. B. CORDY. Assistant County Agent.
