OSC Men Study Local
Agriculture Problems
Two Oregon State college ex
perts were in Jackson county
Monday through Wednesday to
study pear tree decline and drain
age and irrigation problems.
They were Marvin Shearer,
irrigation and drainage special
ist, and Dan Evans, soil physicist
for the college. They left about
noon Wednesday.
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.
Home Landscaping
Guide Now Offered
Corvallis Planning the land
scaping around your home is
easy with a new bulletin pub
lished by the Oregon State col
lege extension service.
Titled, "Plantings Around the
Home," the bulletin advises a
step-by-step approach to land
scaping a home. First step is to
choose plants to be placed at
the corners of the house. Then,
plants are chosen for the en
trances, and for the spaces be
tween corners and entrances.
Hints are also given on select
ing plants that will grow to the
right proportions to fit your
home, and on planning your
landscaping in three dimensions
so your house looks best from
the road or street.
Authors of the bulletin are
Donald J. Martel and I. B. Sol
berg of the OSC landscape, arch
itecture department. Sketches
were drawn by George N. Fre
deen, also of the lanscape de
partment. The new bulletin was produc
ed cooperatively by the agri
cultural extension services of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

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

effective on cottony maple scale.
The county agent emphasized
importance of thorough spraying
tor control of either of these
scales. If the spray job is a small
one, a small sprayer would be
satisfactory, but growers with
extensive spraying to do should
use large power sprayers, he
said.
