0 SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, March 25, 195S Wool Growers Should 3 Mail Applications Wool growers have been re minded to get applications for payment under the wool pro gram in the mail before May 1 if they want to receive incentive payment this year. According to Charles E. White, chairman of the Jackson county A. CP. committee, wool sales made after March 31, 1955, and before April 1, 1956, are eligible for payment provided the ap plication for payment with the necessary supporting informa tion is in the mail before May 1. White urged wool growers to be careful about providing the required sales record when sub mitting applications. The sales record for shorn wool must show name and address of huyer, date of sale, name and address of producer, net weight of wool sold, and net proceeds to produc er after normal deductions. 0 Those who market lambs and yearlings for slaughter must provide bill of sale with name and address of slaughter; date of sale; name and address of sell er; and number, description, and net live weight of animals sold. They also must certify that the to MAY 21 SV7?-76 86-yJ STAR GiXE!Rr) ABIES VA 22 1- 3-U21 TAUSUS APR 21 GEMINI MAY 22 3 r C1 ' " mi 3-27-34-60 Ni7-l-73-84-S9 CANCER .?V.

The value of the stamps wouldn't to tal much more than that, and the addresses, so far as I knew, were not people of consequence. "What's the pitch," I demand ed when he finally won the packet for $17.50. "It's this," he replied, riffling through the covers and pulling one out. "That's the item I wanted." 0 The letter was addressed to someone in Petaluma, Calif. The stamp was a 10-cent, yellow, brown and black item of the Pan-American exposition series put out in 1901. It had a cata logue value of $3. The date on the cancellation mark it had been mailed in Buffalo, N.Y. was not quite clear. "Turn it over," said Jack. "What I particularly wanted is on the other side." I turned the envelope over. On the back across the flap was a blue, oblong stamp with black printing on it. The printing read "U.S. Postoffice, Petaluma, Calif. Officially Sealed. Opened by Mistake." At the bottom of the stamp was a line for a signature. The name scrawled across it was in decipherable to me. "Is it worth it?" I asked. "I never heard of anyone collecting these things." "You should know by this time there's probably nothing someone doesn't collect," Jack said. "As for type-set seals like this," he went on. "They are pretty rare. Scott's specialized and prices only two. The others are so rare the editors just can't tell what the price should be." "And how does this one rate," I asked. "There's no price listed for it," Jack said. "But you know me catalogue lists only 21 of theia well enough to know I'm not go ing to lose any dough." He didn't. Within the next two weeks he sold it for $85. ZODIACAL SIGNS ON OBJECT ASSURE SUCCESSFUL SALE "Within certain limits," said one of the most successful deal ers in the unusual I have ever met, "the presence of a sign of the zodiac on something assures its success." It was a cardinal rule of his, with all the authority of an axiom, but one that I had half for otten. My niece Judith and I were scanning the hodge-podge of ob jects in the indow of a small antique shop when suddenly she started for the door. "I must find out about that lamp. Uncle Pinkney. I think it's darling." There was only one lamp in the window, and while it was interesting in a way, oit didn't seem to be aything really extra ordinary. Nonetheless, I went in side for a closer look. The lamp had obviously been one of a pair, doubtless of the kind to illuminate a dining-room table during the heyday of the Victorian era. It was just under 30 inches high. Its base, of Shef field, was not more than six inches'in diameter. From it rose a silver-sheated column about an inch wide, terminating in the lamp and shade. The latter, of glass, was graceful, a vase-like shape some five inches high. From the bottom edge hung a circle of 12 cut glass prisms. At first glance the prisms looked like any others, and then I noticed that each one had a zodiacal sign cut on one of its faces. "It's yours for $50, dearie," said the owner in answer to my niece's question. And without further discussion the money and lamp changed hands. "Why," I said when we had got outside again, "there aren't eight ounces of silver in the piece." "It's because of the zodiac, silly, and a woman I know who's nuts about astrology," replied my niece. "She'll be happy to get it." And she was, to the extent of shelling out $165. I accused my niece of driving a hard bargain She denied it. "Why, the new owner wants me to find the companion piece," she said. "She's even willing to pay $250 for it." HISTORY REVEALS ERIE CANAL TOKEN NO PHONY "It looks authentic, but un- though. The Brittanica reported questionably it's a "phony," the that the Erie canal was begun expert said, handing back the token. "I can say so because the piece in 1817 and completed in 1825. It was over 350 miles long and carried boats over a vertical dis tance from Lake Erie to the says 'New York Grand Canal Hudson river of 534 feet. upenea in ibZd, while anyone ought to know that the Grand, or Erie, Canal didn't open until 1825." I took the brass token reluc tantly. It was one of my first purchases, and I felt the S2 in vested ought to bring me maybe 100 times as much. I studied the piece angrily. If But something about the re port urged me to read more, and I got a history of the canal. It was good that I did so. The story told how the canal was progressively opened to traffic as rapidly as a new section was completed. The occasion for an important celebration, it said, was when "on Oct. 8, 1823, the it was a fake, someone had gone first boats passed from the west to an awful lot of trouble. On and north through the junction one side, the token showed a canal into the tidewater of the bust of Washington in an oval. Hif'-m at Albany." To its left were the words "C.

"Well, now you know." tary store." I turned the token over and looked again at the date 1823 just below the word "opened." Maybe the expert was wrong. I thought, going to the encyclo- I certainly did. and with clear conscience I disposed of the brass token for $50 which seemed profit enough under the circumstances (Released by pedia to check up.

Ladino Growers to Vote on Commission Times and places for a grow ers' referendum to determine whether to form an Oregon ladino clover commission will be announced soon by the state department of agriculture. The announcement followed a report by J. F. Short, director of the department, stating that such a commission is desirable according to the results of recent hearings held in major growing areas. Short said the hearings show ed that ladino growers need a commission because funds are needed for organized advertis ing and promotion; research and organized efforts are needed to solve industry problems such as bloat and insect control, seed improvement and increased yields; and studies are needed concerning federal and state leg islation, tariffs, duties and other trade problems. Most of the present ladino clover acreage in Oregon is in Jefferson county, with smaller acreage in Josephine and Jack son counties and the Willamette valley. Hearings were held in Madras and Medford in February. McMinnville (U.R Dick Domes of McCoy, Ore., has been elected president of the Pacific Coast Turkey Growers Associa tion, Portland UP) N. B.
