Medford Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1956 Pagei 1-6 three previous spouses each. HO EFT PHYSICAL Milwaukee, Wis. (U.B St Jmmt Accident Commission Reinstates Inspector Salem U.PJ Clyde K. Hill, a field Inspector for the State In dustrial Accident Commission, who was dismissed last month, has been conditionally reinstat ed by the commission. Hill, who worked out of the Eugene area, was dismissed tor "insubordination and miscon duct." However, the State Civil Service Commission recently ruled the degree of misconduct did not justify dismissal. Under civil service rules the accident commission does not have to re-employ Hill, accord ing to William A. Callahan, chairman of the accident com mission. Callahan said Hill was now employed at another job and might not wish to return. If he resigns, he will receive unused vacation pay. Callahan said. I Newer Method of Thinning Results in Better Fruit Experiments with thinning bartlett and cornice pears by growers in Rogue Valley have found the newer method of thin ning according to fruit size pro duces better fruit than the spac ing method, according to C. B. Cordy, horticultural agent. By the newer method, which has been tried for two years at the Medford experimental sta tion and by a few growers for the first time last year, fruit is thinned according to size, with the smallest fruit and culls re moved. The fruit remaining will not be evenly spaced on the tree as in the spacing method where six inches is left between the fruit regardless of size. Cordy said. Although a good crop of bart letts is predicted by the agricul tural extension service, it will not be a heavy crop, he said. Some orchards will need thin ning while others may not'. Cordy pointed out that there is no point in removing the small fruit just for the sake of thinning if the crop is small or fair. About 40 leaves are generally necessary to grow one fruit, but at thinning time if the fruit is large about 20 leaves per fruit may be planned, Cordy said. If the fruit is small, 50 leaves should be planned per fruit. Each limb is a separate unit and one limb will not size fruit on another, Cordy noted. Terminal clusters of fruit should be particularly noticed when thinning, according to Cor dy, since they produce smaller fruit. Clusters usually consist of four to five fruit and should be thinned to two or three. When thinning fruit in or chards with excessive amounts of fruit, all small fruit and culls should be removed but if the crop is small only culls should be removed, Cordy said. Extension Specialist Visiting in Valley Extension Specailist Harold Finnell has been conducting field inespections in the area for seed certification.

Anyone interested in selling certified seed this year must sub mit an application as soon as possible to the county agent as Finnell plans to return to the area for further inspections.
