Extension Service Ladino Clover Outstanding Grass For LlvMtock Pasture Grass is the foundation of the livestock program. It la the one feed essential to efficient poul try, sheep, swine, dairy and beef production. It Is the one crop the farmer does not hire labor to harvest. Pasture Income i measured In terms of meat or dairy products produced. For greatest returns, good soil fol lowed by soil bed prepaation. fertilization, improved grass var ieties and approved pasture man agement should be considered. The Illinois experiment station reported that almost 450 pounds of mutton per acre was produced on ladino clover pasture. North Carolina seeded 200,000 acres to ladino clover pastures In 1949. This brings the total acreage In this state alone to from 350, 00U to 400,000 acres. The goal for 1950 Is one-half million acres to be seeded in 1950, according to S. H. Dobson, agronomy exten sion specialist for North Caro lina. Oregon producers have found that ladino clover has consist ently produced more forage and better gains foe all classes of live stock than any other grass.

The cold and cloudy weather of the winter has left most of them rather brown, and until quite a little growth has occurred they will stay brown. This growth can be stimulated by the use of a little ammoniun sulfate or any of the complete fertilizers. One reason the grass is slow in start ing in the spring is that the bac teria which make the soil fer tility available are not active. Rprnusc of this. Brasses, even on rather fertile soil, may suffer from starvation in cold weather. By applying fertilizer we over come this, and the grass will start to grow early and turn anwn Oni.hnlf nnund of am- monium sulfate to a 10-by-10 foot square would serve this purpose.

Where moss is present the ammonium sulfate should be Increased to one pound to a 10-by-10-foot square.

Feb. 20 U.R) A concentrated effort was under way today to find the cause of two gas explosions. A flash blast shattered win dows, cracked walls and tumbled merchandise from the shelves of the Summitview grocery store Saturday. Tuesday night four persons were injured in a sim ilar detonation at Ruth's cafe. Mavor N. K. Buck asked help from the United States bureau of mines in investigating tne blasts. Fire Chief Pete Moore, City Fire Marshal K. T. Weaver and Deputy State Fire Marshal Ger ald Young are heading the in quiry. Portland Veteran To Run For Congress Portland, Ore.. Feb. 20 (U.R) Phil Drcyer, 29, Portland World War H veteran and a member of the city's Central Labor Council, today said he will seek the demo cratic nomination for congress from the Third district. The seat is held by Rep. Homer Angel (R.), who will be up for re-election this year. you wish to control the moss but are not anxious to have your grass grow as vigorously as will result from the use of this am monium sulfate, you may wish to attack it a little differently. For the control of moss on trees we use bordeaux sprays, ine coDDtr In this spray is very toxic to the moss and it soon dries up and drocs off. While I know of no Instances where this has been tried on lnwn moss. It seems that it should work equally as well. If you want to try it, buy some regular bordeaux mixture or any of the fixed coppers and cither thoroughly spray the moss or dust it on with a little hand dust er. Immediate results should not be expected, but if it is going to work, in a couple of weeks It should turn brown and disap pear, C. B. Cordy, County Extension Agent, Horticulture Livestock marketing centers report that every year a con siderable number of lambs are sold with long tails. The cus tom In these cases Is to rather drastically reduce the prices for these lambs. Lambs should be docked and castrated within a week of birth. Any wounds should be treated with stock grade iodine. Also, the navels of new born lambs should be treated with iodine. The iodine can be applied by using it in a wide mouth jar, placing against the lamb, turn ing it over and saturating the area with iodine. Earle Jossy County Extension Agent American Women Turn Attention To Latest Innovation In New York, Feb. 20 (U.R The American woman has said "Dhoooy" to Hollywood and fall en lash, brow and eyelid for the bright and bold new eye makeup, a maker of optical cosmetics said today. Hollywood makeup artists jumped up last month to ridi cule the "unnaturalness" of blue eyelashes, green pencil lines and pretty colored eyeshadows. But even the girls they make up are turning up in New York with the "fawn eyes," "doe eyes," or "it eyes'" that burst on the U. S. from Paris a month ago. Brains Not Consulted Andre Sussman. vice-president of Aziza, said the Hollywood out burst might have been expected. "The once great brains of Hol lywood had not been consulted," he said. "They were miffed." Sussman said his own sales fig ures showed American women weren't paying any attention to them anyway. A year ago he sold lots of mascara but 85 per cent of it was black. Last month, the first month of the opalascent orb, more than half the eyelash goo he sold was blue and green. And it's going on thicker than ever, he said. One store that sold $200 worth of his eye goo Medford Students Take Honors In Speech Tourney Three Medford students placed first in an invitational speech tournament held at Linfield col lege, McMinnville, February 16, 17 and 18. according to DeVere Taylor, Medford high school for ensic director.

A MAKING V MEDFORD BRANCH OPEN 10 to 5 Including Safvrtcry Eye Makeup a year ago sola $ouu worm in January. 1950. Fusi Sillv Sussman said all tne fuss acioui its making a woman look un natural was silly. If the Mascara is put on prop erly, the line drawn right, the shadow shaded properly out ward from the middle of the eye to the temples, a man doesn't say, "Gad. iook at mat woman s eyelashes! The proper reaction, said Suss man, is Uad, that girl has Beau tiful eyes!" The new make-up, Sussman said, can do almost everything from highlighting the color of the eyes and even directing what color they look to cov. ering up the circles on Monday morning. But more important it'i po lite. , Looks At Eves "A polite person, when he speaks to a woman, looks at her eyes, he said. But today an face powder is light. If a woman has no accent on her eyes, he is subconsciously drawn to her lips instead they re the only brignt spot in her face. With properly prominent eyes Sussman said, his eyes stay where they belong. When he gets close enough to notice what makes them that way, said the young and hand some eye-man, the point is irre levant, immaterial and inconse quential. "That's not what he's worry ing about any more. Bert Nichols, Ashland, Succumbs In Portland Ashland, Feb. 20 Bert Nich ols, 70, a resident of Ashland for 25 years, passed away in Portland Sunday.

MORE JOBS FROM PINE Shipping the Deschutes area's fine Ponderosa pine lumber for re-maoufacrure elsewhere annoyed three old-timers in the sawmill business M, L. Rogers, Walter R. Hansen and Grant L. Jensen (left to right). So three years ago they started the Cascade Forest Products mill in Bend. Now it manufactures annually many trainloads of millwork window casings, door jambs, especially cut stock, etc. This increases the lumber's value and creates more Oregon jobs. "VC'e make use of every piece of board," said Rogers. "Our mill couldn't have succeeded, though, if it hadn't been for help from the Bend Branch of the First National Bank." THEIR FAITH IN LA GRANDE REPAID La Grande's 100-room Sacajawea hotel is a monument to the faith Julius Roesch and his wife, Annie, have in their community. Roesch, a pioneer La Grande brewer, could have retired comfortably in 1920. Instead, the Rocsches decided their growing city needed a large hotel, and by 1928 had built and opened it, with a son, Marcus L. Roesch, as manager. The enterprise almost went under in depression days, but the Roeschcs held fast. Today "The Sac" is an important part of the community still operated by the Rocsches, who are long-time customers of First National's La Grande Branch.
