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.

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.

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.

"Americans spent less on li

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.

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.

SP Officials on
First Train Run;
Service Popular
A group of Southern Pacific
railroad officials were Medford
visitors Sunday for the inaug
uration of service on the com
pany's new Grants Pass-Duns-muir
schedule, which connects
with the Shasta daylight stream
lined train.
J. H. Pruett Jr., Portland,
general passenger agent; Robert
H. Holmes, district freight and
passenger agent, and Jack W.
Hardy, chief clerk here, accom
panied the southbound train as
far as Ashland. W. E. Maness,
traveling passenger agent, Port
land, accompanied the train from
Grants Pass to Dunynuir. Thom
as J. McCarry, traveling freight
and passenger agent, Roseburg,
was in charge of the initial
northbound run.
To Stimulate Business
Pruett said the attention of
the SP's management has been
focused on the operation of the
new train service. He comment
ed that the people of southern
Oregon have long expressed a
desire for a connection with the
Shasta streamliner, and that the

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.
