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.

Jersey Awards Given
W. D. 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.
Reactors Discovered In Jackson, Columbia
Two tuberculosis reactors and
74 brucellosis reactors were
found in Oregon cattle tested
under the federal-state control
programs during July, the
monthly report from the state
department of agriculture stated.
In the brucellosis work, 12,
242 cattle were tested in 1294
herds. In addition almost 4000
calves were vaccinated in 490
herds. Six-tenths of one percent
of the cattle tested for brucel
losis reacted.
The two tuberculosis reactors
were found in Columbia and
Jackson counties, and represent
a particle fraction of one percent
of the 5267 cattle tested in 830
herds.
Linn and Multnomah counties
with nine each and Jackson
county with eight showed the
highest numbers " but not the
highest percentages of Bang's

termined until after the comple
tion of laboratory tests whicn
will take about two weeks.
