been tgnade by members of the
Crater" 15 gh school chapter of
Future farmers of America, a
spokesman said.
Seventy of the 73 chapter
memtr have farming 'projects.
The future farmers feel they can
best learn agricultural practices
by applying to home projects
what they learn In their class
rooms. The FFA motto is "learn
ing by doing."
A general summary of the
Crater chapter program reveals:
a total investment in projects
4.1062, members own 53 head

Allen Barnes, chapter sentinel,
is raising three beef animals and
breeding swine for his project.
Several of the members have
invested their money in farm
machinery, a shapter spokesman
said. Mike Redmond owns a hay
bailer, tractor, rake and mower.
Bill White has an interest in a
corn sheller and corn cooling
tanks. Jerry Leonard owns a
milking machine.
All of the 36 freshmen mem
bers have projects also. Quite
a few of these are raising grain
crops. Freshmen members Jim
Frink, Don Denning, Kenneth
Woods, Steve Witt, Joe Stalling
and Jay Heath are renting grain
land on a share basis, a spokes
man said.
Coyotes Menace
Lake Creek Area
The Jackson county court this
week issued an order for pois
oning coyotes in the Lake creek
area.
Calves and lambs there have
received heavy onslaughts from
coyotes, farmers of that area
have complained. The court said
there may be other sections in
the county requiring predatory
animal control but this is the
only request received to date.
A similar request was made by
farmers of the Lake creek area
last year, County Judge Rodney
Keating said.
Keating added that all the
poisoning is being done on pri
vate land. It is being done on a
voluntary basis by John Walsh
for the local cattlemen's asso
ciation, Keating added.
More coyotes were caught in
the state than any other predator
from Oct. 20 through Nov. 16,
according to Mel Smith, district
agent for the U.S. Fish and Wild
life Service, and M. E. Knicker
bocker, animal division chief for
the Oregon department of agri
culture. 4
Malheur county hunters re
ported killing 45 coyotes to lead"
the rest of the state in destruc
tion of the animal.
- Besides coyotes, state-wide kill
figures list 120 bobcats, 112 por
cupines, 98 raccoons, 62 badgers,
51 skunks, 42 foxes, 11 bears and
two opossums.
Josephine county hunters re
ported 25 skunks and 16 rac
coons caught. This leads the
state.
In the compact kitchen, color
matched fixtures and appliances
are built-in, and a large recessed
breakfast nook looks out toward
the street.
In the service area, wall cab
inets face each other above the
washer and dryer space, and a
big broom closet adds storage
room. The heater closet opens
to the outside for easy servic
ing. A breezeway shelters pas
sage between the service door
and garage rome.
All bedrooms are comfortably
large, with casement windows
set high for ample ventilation
and ease in arrainging bedroom

Farmer Contest
Being Considered
By Jaycees Here
Junior chamber of commerce
organizations in Jackson county
are considering the possibility of
selecting an outstanding young
farmer, to enter in a state con
test, a spokesman said.
Hal Gardner, president of the
Medford Jaycees, said he thought
the three organizations in the
county would combine in mak
ing a selection. These would in
clude clubs in Central Point,
Eagle Point and possibly Ash
land, he said.
A local contest would be con
ducted during December or Jan
uary to select the outstanding
farmer between 21 and 36 years
old, it was explained. Then state
and territorial judging will de
termine the one to be entered in
the national finals. From 50
nominees of the United States
and territories of Hawaii and
Alaska four will be selected and
honored as America's most out
standing for 1957, a spokesman
said.
First, second and third place
state winners will receive a
plaque, a spokesman said. The
first place state winner will be
awarded an all-expense trip to
the national awards program in
Indianapolis, Ind., April 14, 15
and 16, a spokesman said. His
wife will receive free meals and
accomodations at the three-day
program.
The program is co-sponsored
by the American Petroleum In
stitute committee on agriculture
and the Junior Chamber of Com
merce of the United States. Serv
ing as chairman of the program
for the Oregon Jaycees is Frank
Keicher of Sherwood.
"Purpose of the program is to
honor the young men whose oc
cupation is most indispensable
to life and to emphasize to the
public that farming is a profit
able and satisfying occupation,"
a Jaycee spokesman said.

Mail Tribune Farm Editor
All farmers Interested in forming a beef commission for the
state are reminded again the registration deadline is Dec. 24
at the county extension office. Anyone who is not registered by
that time cannot vote on formation of this new commodity com
mission. People In Jackson county seem to be dragging their heels
on this. Forty farmers are registered in this county and 150
should be. W. B. Tucker, county extension agent, estimates 450
application blanks were mailed out to all cattle owners in the
county listed with the extension office. All farmers who own at
least one cow are entitled to vote providing they register, Tucker
said. Further information and application blanks can be ob
tained in the Jackson county extension office.
According to the Oregon Commodity Commission Act such a
commodity commission may be formed if an affirmative vote is
received of two-thirds of the producers voting and if the total
voting producers represent more than one-third of the total
quantity of the commodity produced. These figures would be
based on the "last preceding crop year."
Such a commission would be used for promotion of beef
in the state and elsewhere. Those farmers who have lived in the
Rogue river valley for many years have seen how the pear in
dustry has grown here, aided by promotional efforts. A beef com
mission would also promote the use of its products. The Oregon
Wheat League, with its current promotions for consumption of
wheat in Japan and other countries is a dramatic example of
what can be done.
We received a call from a woman the other day who recom
mended an easing of predatory animal controls on coyotes. Coyotes
eat field-mice, she said. Mice are over-running some areas because
too many coyotes have been killed there, she said. A check with
some local agricultural authorities revealed that coyotes eat com
paratively few field mice. Some of the areas having a large
number of field-mice also have large numbers of coyotes, we are
told. Those wishing to protect field-mice killers should discourage
shooting of hawks and owls, this farm authority said. Mice are
their natural prey. Incidentally the same authority pooh-poohs
the idea of sea-gulls cleaning up the mice. Although scavengers,
the large white birds are not considered fast enough and naturally
acquainted with the habits of the quick-to-hide mice, our authority
stated.
Incidentally, probable reasons for the comparatively few num
bers of the scurrying little creatures here are effective controls
by orchards using poison seed and more rotation of crops. The
latter prevents the mice from establishing themselves.
Just noticed an item from another paper which states 278
cattlemen in Baker county have registered for the state referen
dum on a beef commission. A 100 per cent registration there would
mean 700 to 000 signing up, according to Baker County Extension
Agent Le Roy Wright. He is touring the county to secure more
registrations.
Wright said interest is running high but many of the cattlemen
in Baker county want more information before they vote.
Oregon seed growers are looking to Japan for a possible
grass-seed outlet, according to a story on this page. Wallace Rice
of the Josephine Growers Cooperative association at Grants Pass
said ladino and red clover seed is already being shipped there
through normal trade channels. However, it will be some time
before trade agreements can be worked out like the one with
Greece which has been so productive.
More farmers in Jackson county are becoming interested in
the tree planting program under the soil bank program, accord
ing to Jack Mace, forester working under the soil bank program
with headquarters here. Considerable interest is being shown
particularly in the Christmas tree program, he said. As more
farmers plant trees a county Christmas tree association will have
to be formed for the mutual protection of its members. Mace said.
There is such a one in Josephine county with 40 to 50 members.
An example of this need is that one man sold some trees
standing at 35 cents each. However, after the deal was closed
his customer sent him a check to cover a price at 15 cents each.
The foliage is too thin, the farmer was told.
Mace reminds farmers who may be eligible that under the
agricultural stabilization and conservation program they may
reforest cutaway land with up to 50 per cent of the cost provided
by the government. Limit is 25 an acre. Such a farmer would be
entitled also to improvement costs which would include thinning
and pruning plus technical assistance under the program. This
covers those farmers having cut-over land. Many are said to be
taking advantage of that in Jackson county now. Further informa
tion can be obtained from the ASC office in the county court
house. Experts predict that within a few years a big demand will
arise for the thinnings removed from farm forests. These would
be used in the chip industry which makes wallboard and wood
products. A research staff in Corvallis is now busy finding new
uses for such products, it is reported.
Dropping back to Christmas tree production here, this should
be an ideal location since the Rogue valley is closer to California
markets which provide major outlets for other areas in the state
now selling trees. Profitable? One Salem outfit is reported selling
trees at $4 each.
Another favorable factor is that with the use of artifical shade
and water trees can be grown in any soil which- is not on the acid
side. Little alkaline soil is reported in this county. By artificial
shade we mean use of a shingle to protect the root collar from
intense heat.
Although much of the nursery supply of trees is reported
exhausted a farmer may still sign up under this phase of the con
servation reserve program. The ground should be worked up
some time prior to planting. With the addition of the nursery
at Elkton in the Drain area we understand over 15 million trees
should be available next year for planting.
'
Yet another angle of the Christmas tree business is the sale
of trimmings from Christmas trees. Stores, clubs and hotels would
no doubt provide a good source of income. And Christmas trees
like everything else can be sold from roadside stands.
. y
Speaking of roadside stands, an authority on such matters tells
us that a long string of roadside fruit and produce stands bring
in more money than just a few widely scattered ones. We had
asked him what could be done to promote the sale of local fruit
and produce in the valley. He explains that it takes a long string
of fruit and produce stands to attract the attention of the motor
ists's wife who finally makes hubby stop at one of them and make
some purchases. Our informant says he discovered such well
placed stands along a highway selling woven baskets have a
strong attraction for his wife and he never gets past them.
Maybe stands displaying fruit and produce in woven baskets would
be the answer.

Japanese Farmland
Likely Seed Outlet,
Council To Form
Corvallis A 10-year forage
grass seeding program on hills
and woodlands of Japan is being
eyed by Oregon seed growers as
a promising outlet for half a
dozen major seed crops of the
state.
Formation of an Oregon seed
council is scheduled soon to plan
for tapping the new market
along with potential markets in
South America, reports Rex
Warren, Oregon State college
farm crops specialist and secre
tary of the Oregon Seed Grow
ers League.
Seed growers, dealers, and
representatives of OSC and the
state department of agriculture
are slated to meet sometime in
Januarly to form the council,
Warren stated.
Seed Varieties
Seed varieties expected to be
in most demand for the Jap
anese seeding program are ladino
and red clovers, alfalfa, tall fe
scue, orchard grass, perennial
ryegrass, and possibly fine fe
scues and bent grasses.
The 10-year seeding project
introduced this year by the Jap
anese ministry of agriculture is
aimed at developing a livestock
pasture program on rough hill
soils not suited to other crops,
Warren said. An estimated one
million pounds of seed annually
will be required for the long
range program.
Supporting the Oregon pro
gram is a tentative offer from
the U. S. foreign agriculture
service to earmark Public Law
480 funds to help with initial
promotion of Oregon seed in
Japan. The PL 480 funds are ob
tained from foreign sales of U.S.
farm products.

inq Test Order
Explanation Given
Salem An order by the state
department of agriculture on the
milk ring test, now used as a
phase of the state brucellosis
control program, clarifies the
blood test requirement after a
suspicious ring test.
This order, now effective, pro
vides only one blood test will be
required in any nine - months
period even though a suspicious
ring test should appear more
than once in that period of time.
However, if the veterinarian and
owner believe a blood test is
necessary to determine the bru
cellosis status of the entire herd,
it will be made under the regu
lar program.
Another ruling spells out the
cooperation a cattle owner shall
give the veterinarian in holding
and restraining cattle for testing,
vaccinating, branding, marking
or appraising under the brucel
losis program.
Copies of the order may be
obtained from the Division of
Animal Industry, State Depart
ment of Agriculture, Salem.
