4 TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE A Nkhol Worth of Comment On Y HARMAN United Prna Washington (U.B One of the imartest music teachers in WssVnRton doesn't know a treble clef from a dino saur track. And he could n't carry a tune in a bas ket. That would be Dun- c a n Emrich, head of the folk lore de partment of the Library of Haxmoa Nietek Congress. He's no inUo.kt&ii- As Dune put it, he "smells music." "You hear enough of it," he says, "and after a time you get o you know whether they are hollering or singing." Emrich is a hard working guy and." because of his efforts the biggest library in the world has the biggest collection of folklore music. He goes after music where mu sic is corn the folklore kind. Hears From Tipster. A tipster will tell him about a song that was made up by a weary chain gang of prisoners and Dune will gather a crew, take a recording machine, and sneak up on the jailbirds. The song may never be played on the radio or disced for the gram ophones but it will be recorded for history and stored in the li brary archives. Another tip might find our man scooting off to the coal fields of Pennsylvania or south ern Illinois. Some of the songs of the Old West are recorded in the base ment of the library. "Pick" Temple, who is popu lar hereabouts, has made scores of recordings, most of them at the library. Variations fo Tunes "There are variations to many of the old tunes," he told me. "Which points up the fact that there is no such thing as a new ong." Pick's theme song is called "On Top of Old Smokey." "The music is about the same, but I have rejiggered it a little," he said. "Also I have changed the words a little.

According to Emrich, a great many of the 80,000 song titles on record at the library are in the public domain meaning you can't be sued for using them without getting permission of the music makers or Caesar Petrillo, the kingpin of the mu sicians union. Tun ThioTes Active : He said tune thieves are ac tive, as indeed they, have been since the first note was written. "The Russians are. a great hand at it," said Emrich.' "They will monitor an American radio station, turn a Red composer loose on a song and pretty soon they will come out with their own version and claim it as their own." The tune that Emrich is proud of was made by four former sailors he found in California all over 80. Capt. Leighton Rob inson, of Mill Valley, Calif., aged 84, took the lead in "Away Rio." Dune wouldn't take a mil lion for that record. Jackson County Farm Notes Compiled by County Office O. S. C. Extension Service Dormant Spray May Be Applied Any Time Dormant spray on apples and pears may be applied any time the weather is suitable. About 10 days remain before it will be too late on pears. We have a little more time on apples. Use three gallons liquid lime sulfur and 2V gallons dormant 011 emulsion per 100 gallons. This is for control of San Jose scale and blister mite. On Nelis for scab wait until delayed dor mant, omit oil, and use 10 gal ions lime sulfur. For speed sprayers use 12 gal lons of liquid lime sulfur and 10 gallons dormant oil per acre. On Nelis use 40 gallons lime sulfur per acre. On apples, for rosy aphis only, use one pound of dormant dini tro plus one gallon of dormant 011 per 100 gallons.

For home use it would be simpler to use a pint of dormant oil and two tablespoons of Black Leaf 40 in four gal lons of water and apply it in late March just as the buds start to open. In commercial peach orchards where a spray was applied last fall, it should not be necessary to spray again now. The next spray should be put on in the pink bud stage. This later spray would be for the control of brown rot. In home orchards where small equipment is used, the spray coverage is less thorough, and in order to get protection against curl leaf it is desirable to spray once in the fall and again in the spring. If this spring spray has not yet been applied, it should be put on at once.

As We Live TACTFUL INQUIRING WILL HELP STOP IN-LAWS-TO-BE'S DOMINATION (Q) "My son is to be married to a very nice girl. It seems that her folks want to run their lives completely in the arrangements of the wedding and all. They have picked the church, time and everything. I feel that we shoud have had something to say or at least been asked our opinion about this. What do you think?" Mrs. N. R. (A) Since the girl's family per would be the most desirable spray where only leaf curl con troy is necessary. If San Jose scale has been a problem, then a lime sulfur solution should be used. There is some danger that the lime sulfur will kill back the twigs, so unless a scale prob lem 'does exist it would be de sirable to stick with one of the fixed coppers. C. B. Cordy, County Extension Agent, Horticulture. ONIY u PHONE 2-6189 1 By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. gives the wedding, in that they pay the bills and make the ar rangements, it is customary for them to make the final decisions about all matters re lating to the wedding. But it is considered courteous for them to con suit the grooms family and get Hurleck their opinions before the final decisions are made. Then, if there are differences of opinion, the usual thing is to try to iron them out to the satisfaction of all concerned. If the problem related only to the wedding itself, I would ad vise you to forget about it and not be concerned if your future daughter-in-law's parents want to do things in their own way. But their possessive attitude is not likely to stop with the wed ding. . The chances are that they will try to run the young people's lives later just as they are try ing to do now. If your son has any backbone, he will eventual ly resent their domination. He will feel that he wants to be the head of his own home and not have long-listance control coming from the home of his in-laws. Interfere for His Sake Naturally you do not want to make things difficult for your son at this time and interfere. But, for the sake of your son's future happiness, I think you would make a mistake to sit back now and let them run the whole show. Through sincere and genuine interest, you can ask your son's fiancee's parents about the plans they are making and then express your opinions or offer suggestions. If this is done in a kindly, helpful, non-critical manner, they certainly cannot take offense. It will, however, show them from the start that you are not willing to sit by and allow them to dominate. Furthermore, it may give your son the cour age to express his opinions and preferences about matters which, up to now, he felt helpless about questioning. If you hare a personal prob lem, write Elisabeth Hurlock in care of this newspaper.
