Jackson County Farm Notes Compiled by County Office 0. S. C. Extension Service Animal Disease Control Of Interest to All Animal disease control should be of interest to every person in Jackson county. The farmer or stock raiser is interested from a financial point of view, and the owner and non-producer is interested from a health stand point. Many health problems may be closely associated wun animal diseases. Undulant fever, tuberculosis, anthrax and Rocky Mountain spotted fever are only a few examples of human ills associated with animal diseases. Improved livestock management programs that will tend to re duce animal diseases are neces sary in order to receive maxi mum benefits from health pro grams. All rural as well as urban people will benefit from co-ordinated programs. A county livestock disease control committee was recently appointed for the principal pur pose of suggesting ways and means of reducing the heavy ani mal loss to producers. This com mittee has no enforcement or po ' lice powers. It is charged with the responsibility of consider ing the various problems and to suggest programs that may im prove local conditions. The per sonnel of the committee consists 1 of: Dr. H. P. Poston, chairman; James Miller Jr., Ben Nelson, R. L. Wgint, Charles H. Elmore and W. B. Tucker, secretary. Any program involving large numbers of individual voluntary participation must be preceded by justifiable reasoning if results are to be secured. How may the producer gain by accepting and putting into practice a program time or more expenditure of that will involve either more funds? This committee will un dertake to do this by first se curing the best information available, and second to suggest procedure so that all interested parties may profit directly or in directly by cooperating in the program. One example may be given: Brucellosis is a serious disease of animals that directly affects humans. The bovine type is prevalent in dairy as well as beef cattle. Eradication of the disease is desired by all con cerned. Most producers agree that oalfhood vaccination, plus test and slaughter, plus sanitation is an effective method of eradica tion. The county government is co-operating by providing free testing services. Producers are benefitted by increased calf crops, more rapid gain in beef cattle and greater production in dairy cattle. Consumers are af forded greater protection against I undulnt fever. Other suggestions will be proposed as programs are developed. W. B. Tucker, County Extension Officer. Winter Garden Planting Time Now at Hand Winter garden planting time is now with us. A winter garden is one which is planted in the summer and harvested during the winter. Every year we have a number of calls along in Au gust by people wanting to plant out a winter garden patch. There is very little that can be planted in August, so if you are interest ed in a winter garden, now would be the time to get out and plant it. while you have up un til early July to do your plant ing, it would be best to take ad vantage of any spell of cool wea ther that we may have. Cool weather planting makes it much esier to get seeds to germinate and there will be less shock to those plants which are transplanted. Cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauli flower and celery are crops which should be set out as plants. If seed of these are sown now they will come too late to make a crop this winter. It requires about two dozen of any of these plants to supply an average fam ily. When setting these plants out it would be very desirable to water them with a little boost er solution made up by using a tablespoon of ammonium sulfate or four tablespoons of a com plete fertilizer in a gallon of water. Then if the weather is warm, it would be desirable to shade the plants for a few days. This can be done either by shad ing each individual plant with a shingle, or a one-by-six board can be placed on edge along the south or the west side of the row and that will shade the plants sufficiently to protect them. Beets, rutabagas, carrots and swiss chard can be seeded now, and in another couple of weeks some fall lettuce could be sown. The lettuce and swiss chard will come on and produce fall crops and then will be destroyed by winter. If the winter is not too severe, the swiss chard will come back again in the spring and produce an early crop of greens. The root crops will be grown by fall and can then be I - 0 FLAVORS used during the winter. Storing these crops presents no problem, as they can be left right in the ground where they are grown and dug for use as required. A row about 25 feet long of each of these is sufficient to supply an average family through the winter. One other crop which might be considered a winter vegetable would be winter varieties of squash such as hubbard and ba nana. These squash can still be plnted, and if forced long with fertilizer and plenty of moisture they will mature an excellent crop of squash. This late plant ing does have the advantage of being less attacked by the squash bug. In speaking of squash bugs, if you have plants which are al ready up, a measure of control of this pest can be obtained by dusting with either chlordane or DDT. Excessive use of either of these materials will injure cer tain varieties of squash, so they should be used with care. Both chlordane and DDT are available in five per cent dusts, and if the ground underneath the plant is thoroughly dusted as well as a light coating on the plant, the squash bug can be controlled. Do not look for an Immediate kill, as it apparently takes several days for the ma terial to become effective, and in the meantime the bug may crawl or fly off and the dead insects will not be noticed.

VANDYKE Attorney for Plaintiff Post Office Address: No. 9 Goldy Building Medford, Oregon In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: "Administration forces opened a drive for senate approval of a program which would place America's most modern weapons except atomic bombs ALONG THE DEFENSE FRON TIERS OF WESTERN EU ROPE . . . . . . Two senate committees strongly emphasized that new type weapons developed since World War II would go into Eu rope's defenses . . . 'these new weapons of defense," the report said, give us greater assurance that our plans can be carried out successfully without the neces sity of matching the enemy di vision for division, tank for tank or man for man'." THE committees' report speaks of recoilless guns, shaped ex plosives for use against tanks, non-magnetic mines and new uses of vacuum tube fuses. Then it adds: "MANY OF THESE ARMS ARE NOT BEING PRODUCED IN ANY NUMBER." IT SOUNDS a little like the guy who said if he had some ham he'd have a ham and egg sand wich if he had an egg. M ORE from Washington: "Americans spent less on li quor In 1949 than in any year since 1944, the commerce depart ment reported today. It was the second straight year in which they cut down on their alcoholic intake." 'J'HAT, I'd say, is a good sign. Lio.uor is curious stuff. If you happen to feel in the mood for it, and are so constituted that you can take it or leave it alone, a little of it seems to be good for you along late in the day, maybe, when you're all keyed up and need to get relaxed. But too much of it is invariably poi son. When you take too much of it, it's usually a sign that you're trying to escape from something. That's bad. go- Maybe The fact that for two years in a row we've imbibed less of the stuff than we did the year be fore indicates thBt we're getting easier in our minds and are be ginning to think straighter. At least, I HOPE that's what it means. I'M SORRY to have to add that we're still pouring a lot of it down the rat-hole. Our liquor bill last year, the commerce de partment adds, was 8V4 billion dollars. See... One of America's and Jackson County's FINEST YOUTH ORGAN.. ZATJONS in action!

He comment ed that the people of southern Oregon have long expressed a desire for a connection with the Shasta streamliner, and that the Monday, June St, 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE new schedule is an effort to provide this service in an at tempt to stimulate additional rail business in the area. Many townspeople were on hand at several stops to view the new train, and a number made the first trip. All were pleased with the air-conditioned, modern, reclining-chair type car, and the lounge with a snack bar. Holmes said. He expects the new service to be popular.
