Over 80 Peach Growers Attend
Annual Stone Fruit Meeting
Peach pruning must be
treated in relation to all
other cultural practices,
: Henry Hartman, Oregon State
college horticulturist told a
meeting of about 80 peach
growers In the county court-1
house Tuesday afternoon.
Pruning must not be con
sidered as a panacea for pro
duction problems he said.
Pruning should be treated in
relation to all other factors
such as split pits, coloring,
and size of the fruit.
Hartman also reaffirmed
that red and yellow coloring
are separate and distinct fac
tors in peaches. Horticultural
practices bring little control
of the yellcw color, he said.
This color is the result of nat
ural pigments in the fruit and
is directly related to the peach
variety. Yellow is an especial
ly dominant color in the Cling
peach varieties. Also, too
much nitrogen can reduce the
yellow factor.
A peach must have an in
herent ability to produce the
red color. The tree must be
high in carbohydrates. This is
converted into fruit sugar. If
the tree gets too brushy the
fruit doesn't get the carbohy
drates it needs, Hartman said.
Red peach varieties have a
slightly higher sugar content,
the horticulturist stated. The
basic reason is that the red
type of fruit must have high
carbohydrates.
Pruning Tied In
The coloring is directly tied
in with pruning practices
since the fruit requires expo
sure to the sun to help de
velop the color. A grower
must prune to admit some
sunlight, but over-pruning
can develop excessive new
growth at the terminal points
or produce the brushy condi
tion which in turn reduces
the amount of carbohydrates.
Pruning is generally tied in
with other factors in raising
peaches as proper irrigation,
fertilization and cultivation.
Each of the operations should
be staggered so they don't
pile on all at one time making
the growth of fruit irregular.
The excessive sizing which
may result from this too often
results in split pits and re
duces the market value of the
fruit.
Roland Grober, OSC mar
keting specialist, told the
peach men that the new phil
osophy of marketing is a large
volume with less profit mar
gin. For this reason the
grower is developing more in
terest in the complex market
ing program. Furthermore to
meet these problems the
grower has started developing
cooperatives which took over
Railroads Asked
For Equal Rale
Salem Robert J. Steward
director of Oregon's depart
ment of agriculture has urged
the railroads serving the state
to reduce Oregon's freight
rates on potatoes equally with
any reduction in rates given
Idaho potatoes. His request
supported those sent by the
Oregon potato commission
and by producers and ship
pers throughout the state.
This action followed re
ported Idaho requests and
railroad proposals to reduce
freight rates on Idaho pota
toes in all directions east,
south, and northwest. There
is heavy competition between
Oregon and Idaho potatoes in
the Los Angeles and San
Francisco markets.
In his request Steward
ported to be largely respon
sible for proposed reduced
rates from Idaho, and point
ed out that this applies equal
ly to shipments from Oregon.
He said the railroads' inter
ests as well as those of Ore
gon producers and shippers
will be served if proper com
petitive relationships with
Idaho potato shipments are
maintained.
Voman Enrolls
In Food Course
Corvallis Wesley France
of Bear Creek Orchards, Med
ford, is enrolled this week at
Oregon State college in the
37th annual food processors
short course.
The course is sponsored
each year by the food and
dairy technology department
at the college as a service to
the food processing industry.
The 42 food processing
workers at this year's course
will also return in 1959 and
1960 for additional weeks of
advanced training. Instruc
tion covers a survey of the
size and scope of the food in
dustry, quality control and
inspection, food adulteration
and food engineering, sanita
tion, food and drug laws, mo
tion studies and heat and
power.
noted truck competition is re
the packaging and other pro
cessing problems.
Farm population has shift
ed drastically, Groder pointed
out. Formerly 85 per cent of
the population used to live on
farms and 15 per cent in the
cities. This has been reversed
and 13 per cent of the popula
tion now lives on the farms
and 87 per cent in the cities
Future indications are that
the farm population will drop
from 4V& to five per cent.
To meet the demands of the
increasing urban population
new farming and marketing
techniques are necessary.
Further pointing up this
shift of population and to
meet the demands of mass
production, handling of farm
products has shifted into the
hands of a few large retail
stores. Of all the stores, in
1935 to 1939, 110,000 stores
handled 70 per cent of the re
tail business. Now 40,000 such
stores handle 70 per cent of
the business. This means large
blocks of growers are selling
their products to blocks of
stores and cooperative selling
has also resulted.
About 150 commercial
growers in the Medford dist
rict last year produced 250,
000 boxes of peaches, to make
it one of the largest farm in
dustries of the area. Raising
peaches was an excellent
source of income for part
time farmers in the past, it
was pointed out. However,
such part-time operations
were not of sufficient volume
to sell through the commer
cial houses and gradually
gave way to a fewer growers
in number raising large num
bers of peaches.
Peaches of this district are
considered of high quality.

It was also pointed out the
whole city of Ashland was
once planted to both peaches
and cherries for part-time
crops. Now few if any cher
ries are produced there. The
large number of smaller
growers have given way to
the producers on larger acre
ages. Modern orchard prac
tices require more equipment
which is too expensive for the
small grower. The area is go
ing through a material change

Inspection Record
For Carload Check
Set in December
Salem A 10-year record
number of Oregon - grown
fresh fruits and vegetables
were inspected in December
4976 carloads. According
to W. L. Close, federal-state
marketing specialist with the
state department of agricul
ture, this figure is probably
an all-time record lor tnat
month.
The number of carloads in
spected midway in this ship
ping point year, from July 1
through Dec. 31, stands at 21,'
117. This, too, is a favorable
figure, Close added.
Potatoes accounted for 58.5
per cent .of the total number
of cars inspected in Decem
ber. These were mainly from
the Klamath Falls and cen
tral Oregon regions. Potato
inspection during the first six
months of the shipping point
year totaled 12,156.
Almost 700 acrs of onions
from Malheur county and the
Wilamette valley were in
cluded in the certifications.
Total inspection of onions
from July 1 through Dec. 31
amounted to 2194 carlots
down about 600 cars over the
previous six months.
Total inspections of pears
to Jan. 1 amounts to 4882
carlots. This figure is only
slightly lower than last year.
More than 700 cars of pears
from Hood River and Medford
were inspected for shipment
in December.
Walnut inspections record
ed at the halfway point in the
shipping point year total 185
cars more than double the
figure recorded at the same
point last year. This figure
includes 33 cars of shelled
walnuts. More than 577 car-
lots of filberts were inspected
in the same period including
seven cars of shelled filberts
Nearly 140 cars of filberts
were inspected in Salem and
in Portland during December
alone.
Other commodities inspect
ed during December were
apples, brine cherries, cab
bage, carrots, parsnips and
tangerines.

Meat Inspection
To Be State-Wide
Salem The entire state
will be under full-time meat
inspection by the first week
in February, Robert J. Stew
ard, Oregon's director of agri
culture, reports. Under meat
inspection law, plants in a
few areas in which there are
no available veterinary per
sonnel, will come under an
exemption provision, he add
ed.
Inspection began in four
plants in Hood River and Was
co counties the week of Jan.
20 two in The Dalles and
one each in Hood River and
Parkdale.
Two local veterinarians,
Dr. Homer B. Webb, The
Dalles, and Dr. H. C. Morse,
Hood River, will work with
the program in this area.
Fred Woods. Canby. will do
lay meat inspection work in
the Hood River - The Dalles
region along with Vern Mc-
Cauley, local brand inspector.
Also coming under the full-
time inspection program the
week of Jan. 20 were plants
in Scappoose, St. Helens,
Rainier and Warrenton. Dr.
R. Howarth, St. Helens;
Dr. William Menaul, Long-
view, Wash.; and Dr H. M.
Adams, Astoria, make up the
veterinary staff at these
places.
Lay meat inspection per
sonnel will be Irvin P. Groh,
Portland and L. W. Kessel,
Tillamook brand inspector.
For reasons of efficiency,
brand inspection and lay meat
inspection work has been
combined wherever possible.
This would indicate more potatoes are being shipped
out of the Klamath basin instead of fewer. A sidelight on
potato production in the area is interesting. Inspectors state
rodent damage accounts for a small! percentage of the sort-
off and is negligible compared to mechanical injury and
bruising. These factsare enclosed in a report on December
operations by W. L. Close, who is the federal marketing
specialist attached to the department. He represents the
government in the federal-state shipping point service which
is operated jointly in the state.
Close reports an abnormally high sortoff this year due
mainly to the wet ground at harvest time. It took a lot of
shaking on the diggers to separate the spuds from the dirt
and this contributed to much bruising and mechanical injury.
In turn, it also set up some active decay. As of Jan. 1, 1958,
Close estimates that 6,000 cars of potatoes were left in the
Klamath basin and 4,000 cars in central Oregon storage.
An interesting point on the federal-state shipping point
inspection service is that approximately one-tenth of the
certifications were made in the Medford inspection district
in December. Inspections in Medford included 419 cars of
pears, 3.8 cars of onions, and three-tenths of a car of apples.
Total inspections in the state were 4024 cars which does not
include 953 cars of potatoes inspected under the diversion
program.
The recent .meeting of the Rogue Valley Broiler Growers
association seemed to indicate that maybe this agricultural
industry was starting to forge ahead a little in this area.
So we asked one of the more prominent growers about the
status of this business in which the independent operator
is faced with rugged competition. The broiler industry in
this area is about the same as far as demand and supply
go. The industry spokesman predicts a fairly steady market
price for this spring. Present price is 23 cents a pound Tvhich
is considerably better than it was for a while," he said.
The scarcity of chickens in the south for the lasirthree
weeks has helped' the local growers, the spokesman said.
This has brought the price of southern broilers up to 21 to
23 cents a pound on a par with those produced in this area.
The latter are usually two to three cents higher than the
southern product. Lower feed, brood, and labor costs all
contribute to keeping the prices of the southern broiler down
and enable the southern growers to dump large quantities
on this market, crowding the local boys out.
Our contact seemed optimistic over the future of the
broiler industry here. Two things should help, he thinks;
the newly formed broiler commission which will promote
state birds and a better type of bird. Under the provision
of the state broiler commission each grower will be taxed
a half cent a bird for all birds sold in the state. This money
will be used to advertise and otherwise generally promote
the broiler industry in Oregon. A new type of broiler
chicken to this area, the Bantress cross, is expected to com
pete better with the southern birds. It is rated by our contact
as a quicker feed converter and a more meaty bird. This
breed will develop into a 3V6 pound bird in 9 weeks whereas
it takes 10 weeks of feeding to produce the same poundage
on other types being used in this area, he said.

Group Says No
To Grade Ease
Salem The potato ad
visory committee to the state
department of agriculture ex
pressed strong opposition to
proposed changes in federal
grades for potatoes at its
meeting in Salem Wednesday.
The proposed changes in
clude lowering of tolerances
for certain defects in potatoes
and elimination of minimum
size requirements for grade.
The committee is an un
official group appointed by
various segments of the in
dustry to advise the depart
ment. The members felt withhold
ing smaller size potatoes and
those with undesirable defects
from the market could be
better handled through pro
visions of marketing agree
ments than through grade
changes.
The committee's secretary,
Merrill Webb of Redmond,
was instructed to relay the
opinion to the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture and oth
er interested parties.
The Dominican republic
was founded in 1844.
A local agricultural authority cautions against any over-
optimism in the local broiler industry. The integrated
broiler industry of the south provides lots of rugged com
petition for the independent grower. A few cents in costs
means a big difference in this slim margin business, the
authority emphasizes. Southern broiler men are located in
an area of surplus feed and cheap labor. Integration has
reached such a point there where one man or company may
own the feed mills, the hatcheries which produce the chicks
for broilers, the processing plant, and the retail outlets.
How can a small producer compete against this setup? he
asks.

As you have probably noticed the cattle market in Port
land this week slipped considerably from its rating last
week as the number one market in the country in choice
grades, anyway. Last week choice cattle were bringing $25
to $27 per hundredweight in Portland. This week the choice
grade was bringing from $24 to $26. Fort Worth, Tex., was
tops in the nation this' week, paying $26 to $27 for choice
grade. Chicago was second with $25 to $27 and Omaha on a
par with Portland with $24 to ?26.

hands or a stiff brush is very
effective. Larger herds can
be sprayed, using 7V pounds
of 5 per cent wettable Rote
none powder in 100 gallons
of water.
This should be sprayed on
the animals' backs at not less
than 400 pounds pressure.
The nozzle should produce a
coarse spray and be not more

Price average for the 350
bulls to be sold at the Red
Bluff, Calif., bull sale Feb
6. 7 and 8 may be even less
than the $609 overall price
for all breeds last February.
Charley Stover, one of Cal
ifornia's most successful beef
producers for the past 50
years made the prediction at
a meeting of his Red Bluff
bull sale committee last Sat
urday.
"Even though feeder cattle
have been selling for two to
three cents more per pound
during the late fall and early
winter than they brought a
year earlier, bulls may not
sell for higher prices at our
February sale, as some seem
to think. Stover said.
Stover said his prediction
was founded on the fact that
the unusually high average
for Hereford bulls at the Feb
ruary, 1957 Red Bluff event
was based on the simple law
of supply and demand.
Were Short On Bulls
"We were short on bulls
and long on buyers," he ex
plained. "This February, be
cause we have 100 more Here
ford bulls to sell than we had
last year, our buyers could be
edging into the driver's seat."
Stover also predicted a
brighter cattle picture. He
said it was caused by a num
ber of cpnditions: breaking of
one of the nation's most dis
astrous droughts in the south
west, demand for cattle to re
stock ranges there; unprece
dented favorable weather and
natural feed conditions exist
ing on the Pacific Coast, a
record supply of soft corn in
the midwest which had to be
fed because no government
loan could be secured on it,
and the fact that the normal
15 to 17 year cattle number
cycle was approaching a bot
tom in total cow population.
The Red Bluff Bull sale was
started in 1942 by Sam Ayer,
then president of the local
stockmen's association. Sidney
Watson, still a member of the
bull sale committee, the late
Roy Owens and Donald M.
Smith, manager.
Ten breeders consigned an
imals during the first sale. To
secure enough volume to
make it pay its way it was
necessary to sell registered
females for a number of years.
However, the sale continued
to grow and in 1951 or 1952
almost 500 bulls were sold or
a half-million dollars worth.
Large Number Sold
Since the beginning of the)
sale about 4,810 bulls have
been sold to 905 buyers in
nine western states for a little
over 4 million dollars. Smith
said. Eighty - eight Tehama
county cattlemen purchased
725 bulls to improve the qual
ity of the cattle in the county.
Generally speaking 75 per
cent of the bulls are purchased
by cattlemen living within 300
miles of the sale site.
"It is generally conceded by
slaughterers and others that
the sale has had a decided in
fluence on the improvement
of the cattle in the area," the
sale manager said. "This is
due not only from usefof bulls
bought at Red Bluff, but from
the educational value of the
grading program here and a
continued emphasis through
advertising."
The sale has developed the
Red Bluff type which means
a service age bull with plenty
of size for its age, big and
smooth with ample bone and
