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

longer lived than meadow fescue
and perennial rye grass.
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.

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

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.

As much more response Is ob
tained from pruning Anjous, it
is suggested that this variety be
pruned first. If time does. not
permit the pruning of all varie
ties the Bosc and Bartlett will
suffer the least by such neglect.
