Pear Bureau
received high praise by OSC
horticulturists Henry Hartman
and Elmer Hensen at the bur
eau's annual meeting, May 23,
at Portland. Hartman, professor
emeritus at OSC, is known as
"iha father of the winter pear
n afluotry."

Keed for continued improve-
, monl in winter pear quality and
promotion was stressed by the
OSC team, however, to meet
now competition for the eastern
? fruit 'market. Heavy imports of
" lifh-quality Argentine pears in
New York City, and rapid pro
gress by midwest and eastern

Henscn.
iii commending the Pear Bur-
etu's dvertising program, Han
taan said it is "becoming increas-
irgly apparent that supermarkets
ro gotng to feature commodities
that help put on promotion campaign."
. Improved handling of pears,
ana supermarkets' adoption of a
4Je3r-ripening program fostered
by the Pear Bureau 10 years ago
were also listed by the OSC team
as fcey developments contribut
ing to increased pouplarity of
winter pears.
JBeiail Market!
Winter pears with a farm
vafue of $20 to $25 million an
nually in the three western states
w hare prominence in retail
njarkets with citrus, apples, and
other less perishable fruits, the
thf horticulturists stated.
Pear Bureau fieldmen serv
ice about SO major markets
throughout the country, assist
ing merchants with storage and
display techniques to assure or
derly ripening of pears.' The
bureau, now in its 26th year,
represents approximately 85 per
cent of the Pacific coast's winter
pear production of S or 7 mil
lion boxes.
Hartman said one major chain
of east coast supermarkets has
increased pear sales nearly 20
times since adopting the ripening
program a few years ago. Coldp,
storage pears from the Pacific
coast states are put through
special ripening rooms of super
markets on careful schedule that
assures a steady flow of ripened
fruit for retail display. This re
lieves homemakers of the neces
sity of ripening pears at home.
Increase Seen
Another major food state chain
reported a seven-flod increase in
. pear sales in the past seven
rears, using the ripening pro
gram and tie-in promotion with
the O-C-U Pear Bureau.
While improved merchandis
ing methods of s u p e rmarkets
have contributed greatly to pear
sales, Hartman cautioned the
Pear Bureau not to overlook
the small neighborhood store
that has long dominated the re
tail picture in large cities.
The bulk of the population in
such places as New York City
still lives in congested areas and
is not likely to be serviced soon
by supermar kets, Hartman
noted. He said some progress has
been made in servicing such
stores, but that it still remains
a major problem of the pear in
dustry to help, these numerous
low-volume Stores improve pear
merchandising.

pointing out how O-C-W pear j ly noticeable in attempts to im-
promotion elsewhere in the
country has broadened pear dis
tribution. Need for western states to
study possibilities of developing
so-called "controlled atmos
phere" storage plants was point
ed out by Hensen who inspected
some 20 to 25 plants during the
trip east.
Of the 100 controlled atmos
phere plants now operating
throughout the country, only one
in California is west of the Miss
issippi. Seventy-five are in New
York state and are used for apple
storage.
Conversion of standard refrig
erated storage into "controlled
atmosphere"' plants to maintain
low oxygen and high carbon di
oxide ratios have extended stor
age life of apples by four to six
months beyond normal cold stor
age life.
Hansen said the method offers
considerable promise for improv
ing storage life of winter pears
in preliminary trials at Oregon
State college. S e v e ral experi-
i mental controlled atmosphere

Recommendations
For Pastures Given
By Extension Agent
Pastures have a way of shrink- of legumes in the field. Ladino
ing after first lush growth of, clover and Birdsfoot Trefoil are
spring, County Agent Earleitwp of the best, and they -will
Jossy points out. Sometimes in
mid-summer, it seems the cows
can't find enough feed to keep
them going without help from
the haypile, he said. The obvious
solution is to have more acres
of pasture. The more practical
answer is to get more feed from
the pasture which is already
available.
Increase Production
The county agent noted there
are several ways to increase pro
duction of pastures, and all of
them together add up to good
pasture management. "Probably
one of the most important is to
watch your irrigation," he said.
Irrigate when the crop needs
water, not too soon, and not too
late. A way to determine when
the crop needs water is to dig
down with a shovel or use a
soil auger. When you find the
soil is crumbly 12-18 inches deep,
it is time to irrigate. Waiting
until the crops wilt reduces
yields of pasture considerably."
In some districts, where ir
rigation water is on rotation
basis, there is no choice but to
irrigate when the water is avail
able, he noted. In any event, the
water should be left on the land
long enough to fill the soil, and
then it should be taken off.
"Again check with the shovel or
soil auger and when the soil is
wet 2 to 3 feet deep turn the
water off," Jossy said. Any ad
ditional water will leech out
plant food and if left on more
than a day or so will start to
rot off the little plant roots, he
explained.
Pastures need to be fed just
as animals do. Proper irrigation
alone will not produce a good
pasture. It is also necessary to
fertilize the fields. Usually the
cheapest way of ecquiring nitro-
' gen is to keep a good percentage

j prove the value of the Anjou
pear as late season variety. Hart
man and Hensen noted some in
dication, however, that poly bags
were prolonging the period of
good dessert quality of B o s c
pears.
Effectiveness of poly bags to ex
tend storage life was lessened
when shippers learned that ex
cessive build-up . of carbon di
oxide in the bags was causing
"brown core" in pears. Punctur
ing of bags to prevent build-up
of carbon-dioxide has helped
overcome the brown core prob
lem but has, at the same time,
lessened effective storage life.
Despite this shortcoming of
poly bags Hartman and Hansen
said they are gaining in pop
ularity with pear buyers. Pears
packed in poly bags were almost
entirely free of wilt and mechan
ical injury, the researchers
stated. Also, the bags tend to re
tard coloration of pears which,
to some buyers at least, indicates
longer market life.
Hansen and W. M. Mellenthin,
superintendent of OSCs Mid- Co
lumbia branch experiment sta
tion at Hood River, are conduct
ing tests with both poly bags
and plastic lined boxes in an at
tempt to better regulate the carbon-dioxide.
provide considerable nitrogen,
it was explained. In order to
feed the legumes, it is usually
necessary to add phosphorus and
sulphur. Sometimes some other
elements are needed also but
these are the two most common
ly needed ones in this area.
' A heavy application of super
phosphate will provide both sul
phur and phosphorus and it is
best applied in the fall, usually
in, October. In pasture where
grass is predominant and the
clover is more or less on the thin
side, it would probably be nec
essary to add some nitrogen fer
tilizer. , - Twenty to 40 pounds of actual
nitrogen applied in the spring
and again sometime during the
summer would be desirable. This
may be provided by 100-200
pounds of ammonium sulphate.
Where pastures are well-balanced
between legumes and
grasses. 16-20-0 Ammonium Phos
phate is a good fertilizer to use
and should be applied in the
spring (March or early April).
A good rule to remember is
legumes need sulphur and phos
phorus grasses need nitrogen,
Jossy said.
Rotation of pastures is proven
to be one way to make them
yield considerably more than
they will in any other way. It
takes leaves to make grass and
legumes grow. No one would go
out and pick all the leaves off
their little ' tomato plants and
expect those plants to live. So
there is no reason to allow the
livestock to go out and pick all
the leaves off of the pastures
and expect those pastures to
grow well, Jossy said. They're
just like tomato plants and they
need leaves to help them grow.
Leaves are little factories
which manufacture plant food
and return it to the roots for
storage and use. This makes
strong roots which make for a
healthy, fast-growing plant. Pas
tures which have been .used on
a daily rotation plan where the
cattle were allowed to eat one
day out of 20 have produced up
to twice as much forage as these
same pastures produced when
the cattle were allowed to roam
over them and eat here and
there and wherever they felt like
eating.
Pastures which have reverted
to common rye grass and white
clover will always be low pro
ducers. These should be plowed
and reseeded to high producing
varieties of forage plants.
Akaroa Orchard Grass of Alta
Fescue plus Ladino clover and
or Bridsfoot Trefoil are long
lived, high-yielding forage pro
ducers in Jackson county. In
order to get the top yields and
to get the money back for fer
tilizer and irrigation, it pays to
put these pastures into the high
yielding varieties of plants.
Of course, in most cases, ..it
j isn't possible to plow up all
the pasture and reseed it in one
year, the county agent noted.
Many operators are taking a
small percentage of the pasture
and renovating it each year so
that over a period of about 10
years all .'of the pastures are
reseeded. It is usually desirable
to plant these fields to grain
or other annual crops for one
or two years after plowing and
before reseeding, in order to
clean out the unwanted grass
and forage plants in the area
and also to kill out the weeds.
Weeds j
and
Herbicides
By RAY HUB BELL
County Weed Control
Supervisor
Dyer's Weed, better known as
Marlahan Mustard, was believed
first found on the Marlahan
ranch in northern California.
Thus, it became known as Mar
lahan Mustard.
It grew unchecked in that area
for a number of years and man
aged to infest many acres of
hay and grazing land. Today, it
could very well be compared to
the star thistle situation in Jack
son county. Quite a lot of hay
is hauled out of this Scotts Val
ley area to dairy and cattle
ranches all through the western
part of Oregon.
Scattered Infestation
Marlahan Mustard seeds fall
ing from these loads of hay have
given Oregon a scattered infes
tation on state and county road
sides. A number of farms in
Jackson county, upon which this
hay was fed, have small infes
tations. The control of Marlahan
Mustard on roadsides and in feed
lots is relatively easy with non
selective sprays. Beyond these
areas, Marlahan Mustard pre
sents a real problem if not con
trolled graze can easily infest
this grazing area. Likewise, ma
nure spread over farm or pas
ture land from these cattle can
also be a means of spreading
these seeds.
Could Present Problem
Marlahan Mustard on fertile
sil will grow to the height of
four or five feet. Jt can be found
on rocky washes and hills in a
variety of stages, depending up
on soil and moisture available.
This is why Marlahan Mustard
could present a problem if not
controlled and the mountain
grazing area become infested.
Once Marlahan Mustard has
been seen, it is very easy to dis
tinguish from other mustards. It
may be found growing any
where,, while common types of
mustard are more or less con
fined to lower or agricultural
areas. The flowers of Marlahan
are an "off yellow" color com
pared to other mustards and are
all at the top of the plant. One
might compare it with a parasol
or a parachute. The leaf is sim
ilar to mustard leaves inasmuch
r.s they have lobes at the base
which clasp the stem. The ,stem
will have "purplish" streaks.
Seed pods will hang on the up
per portion of the plant between
the flower and the main stem.
These turn dark brown as they
mature.
It would be wise to destroy
these plants before seed matur
ity, either by spraying or pull
ing and burning. Anyone know
ing of Marlahan Mustart net be
ing controlled in Jackson county
is requested to call the county
agent's office, giving location
and other information.

To Register by Monday
Salem Highland bentgrass
seed growers are advised by the
state department of agriculture
that they must register by June
3 to be eligible to vote in the up
coming referendum on the pro
posed commodity commission.
Paul T. Rowell, market devel
opment division chief with the
department, has announced the
referendum will be held from
June 24 to June 28. Registration
forms have been mailed to 368
growers whose 1956 production
has been reported by seed clean
ers to the department.
Medford Poultryman Elected to Board
Dunbar Carpenter, well-known
Medford poultryman and fruit
grower, was named second vice
president of the Oregon Egg Pro
ducers following the 37th annual
meeting of the 4.200-member
marketing and purchasing co
operative held May 21 in Salem.
Carpenter, who represents
Jackson and Josephine county
producers in the association's
board of directors, was the only
new officer named. Selected to
serve for a second one-year
terms were Fred Petersen, Junc
tion City, president; Kelly Corn
stock, Portland, first vice presi
dent, and J. Clifford Hess, Rose
burg, secretary-treasurer.
Election Results
Results of the elections for
seven of the 13 positions on the
board of directors were an
nounced at the meeting's morn
ing session. Carpenter was re
elected to a third two-year term
as director. Chosen from other
districts were Petersen, Hess,
Harlan Christensen, McMinn
ville; Howard Hughes, Hillsboro;
Merrill L. Jensen, Eugene, and
D. L. St. John, Gervais.

Vegetable, Fruit
Inspections Increase
Salem Figures just released
by the state department of ag
riculture show that vegetable
and fruit inspections during the
month of April at Oregon's federal-state
shipping point districts
totaled 3,305 cars.
This is an increase of 1,222
cars inspected for grade certifi
cation by the department as com
pared to the 2,083 car total dur
ing the same month one year
ago. Totato shipments lead in in
spections with 2640 cars checked
during the month, an increase of
1,044 cars over the 1,596 figure
compiled during April, 19o6.
All commodities inspected for
certification by the department
during the month showld an in
crease with the exception of ap
ples. A total of 68 cars was in
spected during April as compar
ed to 108 cars a year ago.
Pear shipments were second
to potatoes during April with
473 cars inspected. This also is
an increase over the same period
last year when 284 cars were
Shipped.
Oak Leaf Minor
Spraying Advised
Home owners who have had
trouble with oak leaf minor
should spray for control cf this
pest, according to Don Berry,
county horticulture agent.
White oaks are particularly su
sceptible to attack by leaf minor,
which causes the leaves to turn
brown and fall during the sum
mer. Oak trees which are severe
ly affected by this pest, take on
au overall sickly appearance and
drop leaves during the summer.
Both malathion and DDT are
used for controlling oak leaf
minor, aphis and some other
pests on oaks at this time of
year, Berry said. Three pounds
each of DDT and malathion per
10L gallons should be used and
the trees thoroughly sprayed.

which have a direct bearing on
the department of agriculture
were signed by the governor be

August 3, 1957.
Poultry inspection Authoriz

mortem inspection of poultry at
plants which seek this service
covers chickens, ,turkeys, and
other domesticated birds and
rabbits. Plants will pay monthly
inspection fees to the depart

Rohe's statement was includ
ed in his annual report which
was presented at the. May 21
meeting. His forecast was based
on U.S.D.A. statistics indicating
that the hatch of egg-type chicks
so far this year was more than
20 per cent under a year ago.
U.S.D.A. figures also indicate a
rather heavy liquidation of lay
ers during the month of April.
-Short Supply
If their figures are anywhere
near correct, Rohe stated that
eggs should be in short supply
during the last half of this year
and the first part of 1958. Al
though storage holdings are sub
stantially higher than a year ago,
prices should start advancing to
higher levels by mid-summer. "
This was encouraging news to
poultrymen who have seen egg
prices fall to the lowest level
since prior to World War II. On
Jan. 1, 1956 the price of Large
AA eggs to local retailers was
66 cents per dozen. Within 30
days prices had plummeted 18
cents to 48 cents a dozen. After
hovering around the 50 cent
level for months, prices ad-
I vanced to a fall high of 59 cents
Car Inspections
Expected to Drop
Salem The year 1957-58 will
see a smaller movement of fruits
and vegetables from Oregon if
the "guesstimates" made recent
ly by federal-state shipping point
supervisors are some what ac
curate. These eight men sav a total
of 33,430 cars will be inspected
the coming year, which is 1,040
cars less than the estimated
figure of 34,470 cars made one
year ago.
The figures given by the ship
ping point supervisors are simp
ly a look into the future via the
crystal ball and are arrived at
before all of the crops are plant
ed and before weather condi
tions and other growing hazards
make their appearance, it was
explained.
Potato shipments, as usual,
make up the biggest single por
tion of this total given, with sup
ervisors estimating 19,790 cars
will be inspected the coming
year. This figure would he the
third highest in the past five
years for movement of this com
codily, and includes diversion in
spections and reinspections.
Walter D. Jensen, supervisor,
estimates Medford will ship a
total of 4,120 cars broken down
as follows: pears, 4,000; onions,
50; potatoes, 20; peaches, 40; and
plums and prunes, 10. This total
would be the third highest in
the past five years, if reached.

Mosquitos Develop
DDT Resistance
Insecticides such as DDT, mal
athion and chlorinated hydroc
arbons can not be depended on
to control mosquitos, according
to the U.S.D.A. studies made in
California.
Mosquitos developed r e s i st
a..ce to DDT as early as 1949.
After 2V4 years use of malathion,
many species of mosquito larvae
as well adult females developed
immunity.
The culex tarsalis larvae wer.
20 to 30 times more resistant to
malathion in Fresno county,
where this chemical has been
used extensively, than in pre
viously untreated areas, the re
port stated. The adults were
100 times more resistant than
those from areas where malath
ion was not used.
This just indicates that the
breeding groung must be drain
ed off standing water, the soil
leveled and sloped bordering
j small reservoirs to prevent stag
nant pools, it was pointed out.
It requires some 10 days for the
mosquito eggs to hatch. If sur
face areas are drained the mos
quito breeding ground will be
destroyed.
