Growers Warned 01 Potato Law Potato growers and handlers should be familiar with the pro visions of the amended potato law before the fall season be gins, warns the state depart ment of agriculture. The basic provisions remain the same. All potatoes moving to market in one ton lots or larger are required to have a grade in spection. The container must be labeled with the correct official grade, the name and address or tile registered brand name of the grower or packer, and the net weight. If the brand includes the name and address of the grower or packer the brand is not required to be registered. Otherwise the brand must be registered with the secretary of state or the fed eral government and a facsimile filed with tht department of ag riculture in Salem. . The commonly used grades are: U.S. Extra No. 1; U.S. No. 1; U.S. Commercial; and U.S. No. 2. The word commercial may be abbreviated to "Com'y." No. 1 or No. 2 without the U.S. pre fix does not constitute legal grade lebeling. Potatoes may be Inspected at: 1. the place where packed; 2. the nearest inspection point where the department maintains resident inspectors at Portland, Salem, Medford. Hood River, Milton-Freewater, Redmond, On tario and Klamath Falls; or 3. any other place or destination, providing the applicant has re ceived department approval 24 hours in advance of transporta tion. When a producer or dealer makes a delivery of uninspected potatoes to an approved destina tion he is required to notify the receiver that the potatoes are to be held for inspection. This receiver can not sell or trans port the potatoes until the in spection is made. Only one grade inspection is required but the repacker who transfers grade inspected pota toes from large to small bags is responsible ior the grade of the repack. The retailer is responsible for the condition of potatoes in his market and when condition fac tors such as dry rot, wet rot, severe light greening, shriveling or sprouting occurs he may be required to recondition such lots.

Mongold Cows W. D. Mongold, La Pine Jer sey farm, route 1, Eagle Point, has been awarded "Ton of Gold" certificates by the American Jer sey Cattle club for his two regis tered Jersey cows. This is in recognition for the cows having produced over a ton of butterfat during a four- Jyear period on Herd Improve ment registry xesi. The cows in the Mongold herd that won the award were La Pine Dandy Sirette and La Pine Sybil Ginger. Their four-year produc tion was respectively: 34,537 pounds of milk with 2,110 pounds of butterfat; and 35,655 pounds of milk with 2,174 pounds of butterfat. The American Jersey Cattle club, Columbus, Ohio, adopted the "Ton of Gold" award in 1942. Over 5,000 registered Jer seys have won the award since its adoption. The average yearly production of the nation's dairy cows is less than half the produc tion which cows winning the Ton of Gold award must average during a four-year period. Most dairy cows are discarded before they have completed three years of production- n- More than 500 species of flora have been observed in Barthol omew's Cobble, a 30-acre public reservation near Sheffield, Mass. License Needed By Hay Dealers After August 20, anyone who buys hay from a producer and resells it is required to have a state license and a bond, the state department of agriculture advises. This is an entirely new law, known as the hay dealer's act. Responsibility for enforcement was placed in the department, where Director Robert J. Ste ward has assigned it to the di vision of plant industry headed by Frank McKennon. Individuals and business con cerns of all types come under the law if they buy hay from farmers. Only those who buy hay for their own use do not need to apply for the license and obtain a bond. The mini mum bond is $1000 and the de partment may require a greater amount based on the amount of hay bought in an average month. The bond must be submitted to the department for approval. A hay dealer may operate from as many places as he wishes under the one license, cost of which is $10. But he needs to list all places of busi ness and agents with the depart ment at time of making license application. Hay buyers coming under the provisions of the law must have the license before they make purchases, whether on a cash or credit basis. Vehicles transport ing such hay must display the new hay dealer's sticker on the windshield. This will be sup plied by the department ' with the license. Feed mixers who buy hay for mixing purposes are subject to the license and banding as well as those who buy hay from a producer for sale as the "straight goods." Application forms are now be ing printed and will be ready for distribution to applicants in advance of the August 20 dead line, the department says. Any inquiries should be addressed to the state department of agricul ture, division of plant industry, Salem.
