Calif, Food Men Schedule Gearhart Meeting For Mid-August Salem Problems concerned with radiation sterilization, agri cultural sprays and product labeling as applied to foods are among topics for western offi cials who will meet in Gearhart August 12-14. . . The conference will be the annual meeting of the Western Association of Dairy, Food and Drug Officials. Advance regis tration indicates 50 officials will be here, said O. K. Beals, foods and dairies division chief for the Oregon department of agricul ture, who is in charge of ar rangements. James Pearson, Washington, D. C, director of the federal state relations division of the U.S. Food and Drug Administra tion, and Dr. Kenneth Milstead, also of that office, will be speak ers. "Nutritional Aspects of Ra diation Sterilization of Foods" will be the Tuesday afternoon topic of Dr. H. F. Kraybill, chief chemist in the medical nutrition laboratory at Fitzsimmons army hospital at Denver, Colorado. R. W. Every, extension ento mologist at Oregon State Col lege, will discuss "Problems Con cerned in the Use of Agricultur al Pesticides". Three panel discussions and the moderators for each , are: "Problems Encountered in Lab eling of Milk and Milk Prod ucts", McKay McKinnon, Food and Drug Administration, San Francisco; "Current Problems Facing Food and Drug Officials", Gordon Wood, Food and Drug Administration, Los Angeles; and "Merchandising Changes and the Accompanying Labeling Problems", O.

Oregon men and women scheduled on the panels include Eugene Lowe, Astoria business man; Cecil Tulley, Portland, Northwest Canners and Freezers Association; Miss' Dorothy Sher rill, Portland, extension consum er education specialist; and W.

The law licenses two types of business: (1) the wholesale pro duce dealer and (2) the retail produce peddler. Farmers who sell produce they grow are exempt from the license provisions unless they also buy produce to sell. Then they need a license the same as ony other dealer or peddler. ' One feature of the law often overlooked by producers is the department's authority to han dle complaints. Growers, not paid for produce as stipulated in the written or verbal contract with a state-licensed operator, may turn the matter over to the department for settlement. The department urges grow ers to have a written contract when they deliver products to produce buyers on any but a cash basis. The wholesale dealer's license applies to the resident dealer, trucker dealer, credit buyer, broker, jobber and commission merchant. The only exceptions are the producer who handles only produce he grows and the cash buyer who does not sell in Oregon. The wholesale license costs $50 plus $2.50 for each plate used on trucks. The retail peddler's license ($10) authorizes sale of produce from a vehicle to homes, restau rants, hotels or other places- where food is prepared for con sumption on the premises. A dealer who wants to oper ate in both retail and wholesale fields needs both licenses. Jackson Rates High In Coyotes Killed Salem Largest coyote kills in the state were made in Jack son and" Douglas counties by hunters working under the fed- erai-state - county program, 11 was reported. A total of 15 each were taken in the two counties', the state de partment of agriculture report ed. Sixteen bobcats taken in Coos county and Clatsop coun ties topped the state in the bear kill with 12. A total of 177 predatory ani mals were taken in the state by June. According to the state de partment of agriculture figures this is nine less than in May Coyotes -topped the June list, with 71 exterminated. Bobcats, totalling 67, were not far -behind. Hunters got 38 bear and one mountain lion. Traps also yielded 10 badgers. 34 fox, eight skunks, 32 racoons and 13 porcupines during June. Predatory hunters worked in 20 counties. ; Decline of Trees Being Studied A statement on the possible pear tree decline in the Medford area is expected to be prepared by Oregon State college plant pathologists in about two weeks, it was reported Wednesday. ';A team of OSC plarit patholo gists have been surveying about 15 orchards in- this area, but have not determined the cause for. the decline condition, C. B. Cordy, county horticultural agent, said. . The slew pear decline is a seri ous problem in Yakima, Wash., area orchards, Cordy said. The OSC plant pathologists also visited that area to see if they could get some leads on the prob lem, which condition, was first recognized here about two years ago and three years ago in the Yakima area, he added. ,,-Those who made the inspec tion of this area are -Roy Young, acting head of ,the plant pathol ogy department at OSC; Norman Davis, Iain MacSwan, and Ron Cameron, all of Oregon State. Cordy, Don Berry and officials from the local experiment sta tion have been working with the pathologists here. Three California horticultur ists toured Jackson county or chards Saturday, July 20, with Dr. Koliand Blake, horticultur ist with the Southern Oregon Experiment station and Cordy. The localvisit followed a tour by research workers last week in Washington orchards. They studied a "decline" condition which has reached serious pro portions among pear trees in the Prosser, Yakima and Wenatchee districts, Cordy said. Cordy said then results of the Jackson county study indi cate the poor condition of some of the pear trees in this area is due not to the 'decline" under study in Washington, but to ex cessive soil moisture. Trees suffering from the Washington "decline" quit grow ing and fruiting, he said, and in the worst cases, die. No cause or treatment or easy diagnosis for the serious ailment has been found.
