BLM Advisors Set
Sept. I Meeting;
To View New Road
o
A meeting of the 14-man ad
visory board for the Medford dis
trict Bureau of Land Manage
ment is scheduled for Sept. 1. ac
cording to Eugene K. Peterson,
district forester.
The board will view construc
tion progress on the Galice access
road west of Grants Pass'during
the combination field trip and
business meeting. Peterson said.
Timber volume announced for
sale in 1956 will be one of the
Osubjects discussed by the group
during an afternoon business
meeting hat will be held in the
bilster rust camp near the west
end of the road construction of
future timber access roads will
be another discussion topic,
Peterson added.
A progress report concerning
a land-exchange now underway
involving O & C district and Na
tiortil Forest lands will be pre
sented to the group by the dis
trict forester and staff. Members
of the Jackson county court will
attend as guests of the board.
Medford members of the ad
visory board are chairman L. L.
Simpson, and members Eric Al
len Jr.. George Flanagan. Glenn
Jackson, B L. Nutting, Gene Ted
rick and W. B. Tucker. Board
members O. K. Puckett and Tim
Sullivan, Klamath Falls: Tom
Mehl Jr., Glendale; and J. I.
Bristol, Cliff Coleman. Raymond
T. Lathrop and Ralph Moore Jr.,
ifll of Grants Pass, will take part
in the trip.

KoreaS nurse and officer to Point where he was turned

crashed, was returned with Lt. Bumpas.
Crops Improved
In Climate Study
Washington (U.R) The De
q partment of Agriculture reports
that the study of microclimate
(fc playing a key role in improve
ment of forage crops.
Microclimate is the climate
down next to the ground the
atmospheric environment near
q the surface where plants grow.
The department said work
carried on five or six years at
the pasture research laboratory
at State College, Pa., shows
that measurements of humidity
and tenfperature the main con
stituents of microclimate in a
stand of close-growing forage
plants differ to a surprising ex
tent from measurements made a
O few inches above the ground.
q Knowledge of these differences
facilitates the breeding of qual
ity varieties that not only yield
Oell but live longer.
The scientists created special
instruments and other equip
ment for studying microclimate.
They made practical application
of their research in solving crop
ping problems y developing va
rities that are more disease re
sistant and more suitable for
success under ground-level grow
ing conditions.
The researchers found that
weeds, such as matted chick
wd in alfalfa, sometimes do
Qdamaee by holding moisture and
(Sowing air movement, creating
a microclimate favorable for de
velopment and spread of disease
organisms.
The department said that re
search in ground-level climatol
ogy raises the possibilities that
q forage crops will become easier
to deal with, yields per acre will
Qte Higher, and unit production
costs probably will be lower.
'Wall Flowers' Will
Help Orchid Industry
Los Angeles (U.R) A Univer
i sity of California scientist is hav
: ing success in growing "wall
flowers'' and his technique may
help the orchid industry.
Austin Enright. a horticulturist
I at U.C.L.A., is growing orchids
on redwood boards, nailed to a
; vertical frame. The plants are
strapped to the boards and tied
to a nail to hold them erect
Roots run along the surface of
the boards.
Enright feeds 48 test plants
by means of a pipe that permits
minerals and water to trickle
down to the roots.
If the technique proves suc
cessful, it may help the orchid
industry which has lost business
because of a decrease in demand
for orchid corsages.
Potting for orchids has con
tinued to keep orchid prices
high because expensive materi
als, such as osmunda, brought
from the Florida Everglades, is
needed for conventional potting.
Redwood boards would elim
inate the costly osmunda and
would also solve the space prob
lem in hothouses, permitting
six times as many plants to be
raised in the same space now
used in conventional orchid
houses.

One-Fifth Nation's
Land Federal-Owned
Washington ,U.R) More than
one-fifth of the nation's land is
owned by the government.
This means that more than
405.000.000 acres in the contin
ental United States are under
federal control, said Rep. E. Ross
Adair (R-Ind.)
Uncle Sam spent more than
S30.000.000.000 for land, build
ings and other facilities not in
cluding land in the public do
main, national parks and forests,
he said.
The Department of the In
terior owns the most land 212.
000.000 acres over half the
total. The Department of Agri
culture ranks second with 41.6
per cent and the Defense Depart
ment is third with 5.2 per cent.
This information was givgn
Congress in a General Services
Administration survey, Adair ex
plained. It was the first federal
real estate inventory since 1927.
Hereafter, it will be" kept up to

Chemical shares as a group
