All Grain Records -Broken
in '56-'57
Salem All grain movement
records were smashed in the
shipping year ending June 30,
according to T. Ralph Harry,
chief, Oregon department of ag
riculture division of grain in
spection. '
On the export side, more than
81.6 million bushels about 245
cargoes were inspected at Port
land and Astoria. This topped
the previous 1951-52 export
mark by more than 35 million
bushels, and was 50 million
bushels ahead of 1955-56.
Heavy movement under the
government grain program was
the big factor in making the
grain inspection records, but
private treaty sales also played
an important part, Harry says.
Ships loaded in Oregon left
grain all over the world. India,
Japan and Korea got the bulk,
but other places for which grain
was loaded here included
Greece, Formosa, Hong Kong,
Ecuador, Brazil, Egypt. Pakis
tan, France. Turkey, Italy, Bel
gium and Okinawa.
Bulk of the export grain was
loaded out of Portland, which
accounted for more than 73.6
million bushels of the total. In
spections at Astoria, also an all
time record for that port, were
just short of 8 million bushels.
Wheat accounted for 59.1 mil
lion bushels of the-export from
Portland and all from Astoria.
In bushels other grains exported
from Portland were: barley, 8.9
million; corn, 5 million; oats,
475,000. Inspection records also
show 1.1 million pounds of mus
tard seed clearing for export
through Portland.

Research Indicates End
Of Anaplasmosis Nearer
Salem Although anaplos-
mosis; a disease of cattle, is grad
ually spreading in this country,
research interest is growing with
the result that the outlook for
eradication is considerably
brightened.
Oregon has a Modest stake in
the outcome of anaplosmosis re
search because the studies now
going forward were set off. in
part at least, by the first exten
sive survey on this disease in the
United States. That survey, in
1954. was run in eastern Oregon.
The new testing method devel-.
oped in recent years made this
survey possible: that survey was
conducted jointly by the federal
and Oregon departments of agri
culture. ,
Lively Interest
Western states especially are
taking a lively interest in the
incidence of this disease, and in
many of them anaplosmosis sur
veys are now under way.
The stepped up interest result
ing from these surveys through
out the West has brought in
creased research, declares Dr. K.
J. Peterson, state veterinarian

Oregon Cattlemen
Seek Establishment
Of Beef Commission
Salem A petition and filing
fee for creation of an Oregon
beef commission were in the
hands of the state department
of agriculture Tuesday Director
Robert J. Steward announced.
The petition, sponsored by the
Oregon Cattlemen's association
and signed by 25 cattle produc
ers from various sections of Ore
gon, asks the department to con
duct hearings and referendum on
the proposed self-help program.
Restricts Commission
It also restricts the powers
and membership of a beef com
mission, if established as a result
of the petition.
The petition limits the number
of commissioners to seven. It
also limits the maximum tax
which could be collected to 10
cents per head of cattle and re
quests that the tax be collected
at the time of state brand in
spection of animals sold for
interstate movement or for
slaughter. This is an alternate
method of collection set up by
the 1957 legislature.
The petition stipulates that
scientific research to discover
and develop the commerical
value of beef be limited to prob
lems associated with marketing.
Commission Studies
It also requests that powers
of the commission to study leg
islation be limited to marketing
problems. The commission stud
ies could include tariffs, duties,
reciprocal trade agreements, im
port duties, freight rates and
other mattefc that affect the
marketing of, beef.
The final limitation imposed
upon the proposed commission
holds any commission funds ex
pended in cooperation with na
tional or out-of-state organiza
tions for beef promotion to the
ratio of Oregon's share of na
tional beef production.
The petition was forwarded
for the signers by Ed Coles, ex
ecutive secretary of the cattle
men's association.
Home Orchard Spray
Schedule Published -
Corvallis A spray schedulej
for controlling common insect
and disease problems in home
rchards is given in a new
circular published by the Ore
gon State college extension
service.
Tables in the circular give
time of application, and kind
and strength of spray to use for
control of insects and diseases
on apple, pear, peach, cherry,
prune, apricot and nut trees:
Number of recommended spray
materials and times of applica
tion are kept to a minimum,
making control simple for home
gardeners.
Hints of mixing chemical
sprays, getting good coverage of
trees, and keeping costs to a
minimum are given in the cir
cular. It was written by Iain
MacSwan, OSC extension plant
pathologist, and R. W. Every,
extension entomologist.

Pr. Peterson recently attended a
national research conference on
anaplasmosis to hear reports,
plan future research and coordi
nate research to avoid costly ov
erlapping of studies.
Paper Presented
This session was held in Kan
sas: Dr. O. H. Muth of Oregon
State college, who has worked
on anaplasmosis for a number of
years, was also present and pre
sented a paper on "The Epizool
ogy of Anaplasmosis in the
Northwest". Dr. Muth is present
ly conducting research on the
disease in Oregon.
Dr. Peterson says current re
search includes studies of the
organism that causes the disease,
its habits, and its method of
spread: and the vectors (ticks
and flies) and their role in
spreading the disease.
Researchers are now using
new staining techniques, the new
tissue culture technique, the
electron microscope, flourescent
antibody studies, and radioac
tive materials in their fight
against anaplosmosis.

Labor Violations
Reported in West
Santa Rosa. Calif. The U. S.
Department of Labor announced
today that out of 492 agricultur
al establishments investigated
by the wage-hour and public con
tracts divisions in the western
area of the United States during
1956, a total of 213 were found
to be in violation of the child
labor provisions of the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
The "western area" referred
to by the department includes
California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, Utah, Arizona
and Nevada. Applying to inter
state commerce and the produc
tion of goods for commerce, the
Fair Labor Standards act sets a
minimum age of 16 for general
employment, 18 for occupations
declared hazardous by the Sec
retary of Labor, and prohibits
the employment of children
under 16 in agriculture during
school hours.
A total of 754 minors were
found to be illegally employed
in the eight western states. Of
these, 615 were migrants and
139 were local boys and girls.
The department emphasized
that these figures apply only to
agriculture and not to industry.
Pear Grade, Size
Suggestions Given
Pear industry recommenda
tions for minimum grade and
size . regulations for this year's
wnter pear crops have been sub
mitted to the U.S. department of
agriculture.
The recommendations were
made at a meeting in Portland
on July 11. The. meeting was
called by the USDA and was
attended by grower and handler
representatives from the Med-ford-Ashland
district. Minimum
grade recommendations for
D'Anjou, Bosc, Cornice and Nelis
are for U.S. 2 and better (Ore
gon fancy), with an exemption
in the Medford district for hail
and frost markings.. The exemp
tion was requested in view of
the hail and frost damaged fruit
and to facilitate grade inspec
tions in the Medford district.
The following are minimum
size recommendations by va
riety: D'Anjou and Bosc, 180
and larger; Cornice, 165 and
larger; Nelis, 210 and larger.
Recommendations have been
sent to the USDA and an order
setting the grade and size regula
tions on winter pears will be
issued in the near future by the
secretary of agriculture.
Delegates from the Medford
district were Dick Grey, hand
lers representative, and Paul
Culbertson, growers representa
tive. Others attending included
Raymond Reter, Howell Murphy
and Joe Naumis.

Testing for June
Salem Brucellosis testing in
Oregon in June uncovered 241
reactors in 104 herds for a
monthly reactor percentage of
1.0008, up 310ths of one per
cent from May, according to the
monthly report from the federal
and state veterinarians in Salem.
In June, 23,891 cattle were test
ed in 2,494 herds and sales
yards.
For the second month this
year (January was the first) not
a single reactor was found in the
8,842 cattle in 1,362 herds tested
for tuberculosis.
Umatilla Highest
In the brucellosis (Bang's) test
ing, more reactors were found
in Umatilla county than any oth
er county. This is an unusual
situation for that county, accord
ing to Dr. A. G. Beagle, in charge
of federal veterinarians, and Dr.
K. J. Peterson, with the state de
partment of agriculture. That
county's total went up as result
of heavy infection in one herd.
In 3.043 Umatilla cattle tested
in 55 herds, 68 cattle in 11 herds
reacted to place the county per
centage at 2,234 per cent for the
month.
Even so, percentagewise, ma
tilla was fifth down the line
from the greatest incidence.
More cattle were tested in Uma
tilla than in any other county
during June.
Counties in which more than
10 reactors were found last
month are: Yamhill, Jackson,
Marion, Malheur, Gilliam and
Deschutes.
No Reactors
On the brighter side, eight
counties had no reactors, and
Baker county had only one re
actor (0.114 per cent) in 870 cat
tle tested. This county, the offi
cials say, reflected the intensive
calfhood vaccination program
cattlemen have carried on. As a
rule,' most of the infection ap
peared in non-vaccinated herds.
Counties without reactors last
month were Crook, Curry, Hood
River, Lincoln, Sherman, Union,
allowa and Wheeler.
The June vaccination report
lists 3,742 calves vaccinated in
521 herds.
Veterinarians Urged
To Help in Relief
Chicago W) One of the
nation's top veterinary doctors
urged his colleagues to take a
part in relief activities during
disasters.
Dr. John G. Hardenbergh.
executive secretary of the Am
erican Veterinary Medical asso
ciation, said that veterinarians
have a vital role to play after
hurricanes, floods, and like
emergencies.
Hardenbergh cited a veterin
arian in Winsted, Conn., whose
animal hospital became the soie
source of medical supplies in
the i955 flood there.
He said the - contributions of
veterinarians in such cases were
"extensions of peacetime re
sponsibilities," chief of which
was safeguarding "the nation's
supply of animal-derived foods "
Another responsibility of the
veterinarian which would come
into play during an emergency
was his concern with the disease-prevention
measures such
as inspection and quarantine, he
said. !
Sealing Wax Use
Stil! Going Strong
Framingham, Mass. OP) Al
though most Americans think
of sealing wax in terms of ro
mantic letters and regal docu
ments of past centuries, use of
this odd product in present-day
America is far from disappear
ing. Fully half a million persons
each year use sealing wax oc
casionally in their day - to - day
activities, it's estimated by Den
nison Manufacturing Co., a lead
ing producer of this item. Most
of them are employees of banks,
law offices and express shipping
concerns.
Apparently only a handful of
individuals at home still use
hot sealing wax and signet ring"
to seal envelopes, and probably
most of those do it for fun, or
perhaps to impress the recipient.

PROJECT COMPLETED This was a typical scene a short time
ago at the site of a three-way road and irrigation project in the
Upper Applegate area. The project included elimination of 900
feet of flume and installation of 150 feet of 22-inch steel pipe
across the Big Applegate river. Cost to the property owners was
about $5,000. Shown in the photograph is a tower for anchoring
the irrigation pipe. Wesley Hartman, county bridge construction
superintendent, is in foreground.
Applegate Irrigation
Project Completed
By HELGA MITCHELL
Mail Tribune Correspondent,
Applegate - Jacksonville A
three-way road and irrigation
project, in which Jackson county
has contributed most of the
labor, has been completed in the
Upper Applegate area.
The work involved elimina
tion of 900 feet of flume, most of
which skirted a rocky cliff on
the east side road which is
owned by Louis and Sophia
Straube and William Ziegler.
Permission was granted by
James Corson to bury 800 feet
of 24-inch concrete tile on his
ranch to carry the water. The
project cost the ditch owners
approximately $5,000, and in
volved installation of 150 feet
of 22-inch steel pipe across the
Big Applegate river a short dis
tance below the crossing of the
old pipe.
Old Flume Hazard
The old flume was considered
a hazard, and it was difficult to
maintain the road along the
cliff, according tp Paul Rynning,
county engineer. For this reason,
the county gave assistance on
the project. Rynning stated the
cost of labor is offset by main
tenance costs eliminated when
the flume is discarded.
Wesley Hartman of Jackson
ville, bridge construction super
intendent for the county, and his
crew installed the pipe, using
cables and towers of pressure
treated wood.
Third Participant
The soil conservation service
was a third participant in the
improvement plans, having de
signed the work and followed
up with official inspection, ac
cording to Clifford Jensen, resi
dent engineer. In accordance
with the soil conservation policy
of estimating the life of their
projects, this piece of work was
engineered to last 100 years.
George Boyce, field engineer,
did all the surveying for the tile
line. The agricultural conserva
tion service gave financial assist
ance with reimbursement of 50
per cent of the cost of the
project, according to Harry Mar
tin, office manager. He said
under federal law, funds are
made available for water and
soil conservation programs.
Corson, who was instrumental
in forming a soil conservation
district for the Applegate, came
in for a small bit of improve
ment on his ranch also when he
had 100 feet of ditch dug with
cement tile. Straube and Ziegler
-brought the steel pipe from
Wolf Creek.
Historic Road
The irrigation ditch involved
in this plan has one of the oldest
water rights on record. It was
established in 1898 by Patrick
Swayne, when it was known as
the Swayne ditch. Eight years
later, the ditch wag owned by
Newbury, Cantrall and Pool.

Thinning of Small,
Cull Fruit Advised
Rogue valley fruit growers
are being advised to remove all
cull and low grade pears on their
trees now in order to increase
the size of the remaining crop.
C. B. Gordy, county horticul
ture agent, reminded local grow
ers that a larger than usual crop
of Bartletts is expected this year
on the Pacific coast. There is
also a larger than usual hold
over of canned pears.
June 1 estimates showed
about 88,600 tons of Bartlett
pears in Washington, Oregon
and California canners' stocks.
In 1956, there were only 61,
400 tons. Pacific Coast canners
are expected to need about 350,
000 tons of fruit this year.
As a resultof this situation,
tighter grade and size regula
tions have been recommended.
Crody noted that there has
been some fruit marking here
and pears affected by thisv as
well as small or otherwise lower
grade fruit, should be thinned.-
Fruit that appears large now
will continue to grow larger. He
said large pears, even if they
are growing in clusters, should
oe retained.
Mongold Herd Gets
6th Gold Star Honor
A sixth Gold Star Herd
has been made to W. D. Mon
gold, La Pine Jersey Farm,
route 1, Eagle Point, on his
herd of registered Jerseys.
The La Fine Jersey farm herd
won the award after having
completed another year on offi
cial Herd Improvement Regis
try testing. The Gold Star recog
nition is for unusually high pro
duction over a four-year period.
Last year Mongold's 22 cows
had an average production of
9,221 pounds milk containing
530 pounds butterfat apiece.
Over the past four years Mon
gold has had an average of 20
cows in his herd producing 9,-
717 pounds milk containing 520
pounds butterfat apiece. All
tests on the herd were checked
by Oregon State college and the
American Jersey Cattle club.
The Mongold herd average is
two times greater than that of
the 'average" dairy cow in the
United States.

U.S. Seed Demands,
Oregon Leadership
Told by OSC Expert
Corvallis To. seed and main
tain the grasslands of America
each year, it requires some 200
trillion grass and legume seeds
with Oregon ranking at the top
of the national production list
in supplying this total.
These statistics and the story
of the de-elopment of the seed
industry in America develop
ment that has come almost en
tirely in the last 25 years are
told in a new book, "Grassland
Seeds," by D. D. Hill, head of
the farm crops department at
Oregon State college, and W. A.
Wheeler, director of agricultural
research for the Field Seed in
stitute of North America.
Complete Records
The book is the most complete
report ever issued on grass and
legume seeds used for forage,
pasture, soil conservation and
other turf plantings in the U.S.
The West has moved into the
center of the stage in seed pro
duction in this country and ap
pears "to be the main salva
tion" for seed-hungry Midwest
and Eastern states. Hill reports.
The great diversity of soil and
climatic conditons in the West
ern States make is possible to
produce a wide variety of top
quality seeds. Oregon is par
ticularly well suited.
Three of the Western seed pro
ducing areas are singled out as
possessing enormous potential
the Columbia Basin, Jefferson
county and the Willamette Val
ley in Oregon, and the San Joa
quin valley of California.
Production Records
Ten-year production averages
from 1944 to .1953 show that
Oregon ranks first in the pro
duction of common and peren
nial ryegrass seed, chewings and
red fescue, bentgrass, vetch, and
alsike clover seed; second in tall
fescue and Austrian winter pea
seeds; fifth in crimson clover
seed; sixth in white clover seed;
seventh in Sudan grass seed;
and tenth in red clover seed.
Top Dairy

The Jackson County Dairy
Herd Improvement association
has selected five top dairy herds
for the month of May.
The herds are owned by Clov
erlawn Guernsey farm, Fritz and
Helen Carlson, Glenn and Edna
Chase, Harry Dunn and Sons
and James A. Carlson.
Ten Top Cows
Production records for these
herds are as follows:
Cloverlawn Guernsey farm,
13 cows, no dry cows, 1,074
pounds milk, 54.8 pounds butter
fat; Fritz and Helen Carlson, 34
cows, one dry cow, 1,135 pounds

Last year, the total grass seed
production in Oregon was 193,
000,000 pounds. In some cases,
a pound of seed represents tre
mendous numbers, Hill com
mented. Bentgrass seeds are so
tiny, for example, that it takes
more than 5,000,000 of them
to weigh a" pound.
Grass land agriculture in
America has completed the full
cycle during the past 100 to 150
years, Hlli points out.
"We took the grassland with
the accumulated fertility of the
centuries; we plowed the land,
used and wasted the fertility of
the soil; and now we are de
veloping programs for the re
juvenation of the soil and the
maintenance of its productivity
by learning grassland agricul
ture," book reports.
Simply Seed
In the beginning, seed was
simply seed. Hill noted. No var
ieties had been had been de
veloped to meet given conditons,
nor was too much known about
what species should be grown
and where. Little was known
about the peculiarities of culture
that were necessary for seed
production and it was assumed
that if a given species would
produce forage, it would also
produce seed-ra theory that was
roon proved erroneous.
Today, seed production has
become a highly specialized busi
ness with great advances in im
provement of varieties, seed pro
duction, and adaptation of grass
es to various areas and for var
ious uses.
One of the chapter contribut
ors for the book is John R.
Hardison, U.S. department of
agriculture plant pathologist
who is stationed at OSC. He
wrote the section on disease
problems in forage seed produc
tion and distribution. The book
is especially designed as a refer
ence for classwork, county
agents, and seed growers, proc
essors and dealers.
