Fryer Growers Referendum Called Salem Fryer growers of Ore gon will have an opportunity to vote later this year on wheth er they want to organize a self help commission to bolster their industry. This is the result of an order signed June 11 by Robert J Steward, director of the state department of agriculture. He held that testimony presented at hearings last month showed sufficient need to justify hold ing a grower referendum. Dates will be arranged later by the department's division of market development. Steward said testimony show ed the market price to Oregon producers during much of the past one to two years has been below costs of production. Costs of production have continued close to those of past years due to increased labor and other costs and the necessity of main taining high quality standards, in spite of increases in efficiency by most growers. Production ef ficiency is at an all-time high, with little immediate opportun ity to lower unit production costs. So far this year, Oregon place ments of fryer chicks have aver aged only 80 to 85 per cent of those for the comparable period of 1956, while fryer chick place ments in the 22 major producing states have averaged 102 to 105 per cent of those in the com-1 parable period of 1956. j A potential exists for increas-1 ed sales and consumption of I Oregon-grown fryers within the state. Oregon processed birds are at least four to six days fresher than fryers shipped in from southern states.

June 5D. 19S7 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Brucellosis, TB T esSs Reported Salem More than 27,000 Oregon cattle were tested in May, and another 18.214 calves were vaccinated in the federal state brucellosis eradication pro gram. The testing revealed 194 reactors, or 7 10s of one per cent. i Officials of the state and fed eral departments of agriculture at Salem said the May testing was carried on 2,599 herds, in 86 of which reactors appeared More than 600 herds were in cluded in the month's calf vac cinations. Fifteen Bang's reactors were found in Columbia county's 289 cattle tested to give that county the highest percentage of May reactors. Klamath and Lake, where fewer cattle were tested, showed 4.4 and 4 per cent of reactors, respectively, and Jack son county with 1,614 cattle tested had 3.1 per cent reactors. In the cooperative testing for tuberculosis last month, only one reactor (Wasco county) was found in the 12,708 cattle tested The crab apple is a species of the wild apple. Spraying for Scale Control Advised San Jose scale has hatched and re-settled and now is the time to control this disease on fruit trees, according to County Agent C. B. Cordy. He recommends use of 2 gal lons of summer oil to 100 gal lons of water or 2 pounds of diazinon to 100 gallons of water. Cordy also pointed out that the first of the cottony maple scale have hatched, but the bulk has not hatched yet. Therefore, he advises fruit growers to delay sprayuig for cottony maple scale for about a week. Suggested con trols for San Jose scale are also Bee Keepers to Hold Picnic at Park Sunday A bee keepers' picnic will ba held at TouVelle park Sunday, June 23. according to the Rogue Valley Bee Keepers association. Ice cream and honey will be served free and those attending will bring potluck dishes. The picnic will start at noon. effective on cottony maple scale. The county agent emphasized importance of thorough spraying tor control of either of these scales.
