Dairies Listed In Three Counties By State Ag Department Official Salem A total of 39 li censed dairies in Jackson, Klamath and Lake counties were operating last year, ac cording to Thomas Bailey of Klamath Falls, district repre sentative for the state depart ment of agriculture. Breaking this figure down, there were five grade "A" producer - distributors, five grade "B" producer - distrib utors and 29 grade "A" pro ducers. Eight producer - distribu tors sell milk right on their premises. Bailey said. Herd sizes averaged 45 head of cattle for grade "A" producers, 40 head for grade "A" producer - distributors and 15 head for grade "B" producer-distributors. The largest herd m this area numbered 130 cattle there were five herds between 75 and 100 head in size, and another five herds in the 50 to 75 head category. Ten herds contained between 35 and 50 cattle, six dairies had herds of between 25 and 35 cattle, and two dairy herds were under 25 head. For the entire southern Oregon area, 175 licensed dairies were operating in 1957, as compared to 187 in 1956. The average herd size last year was 34 cattle; a year before the average size in southern Oregon was 32. In the dairies in Bailey's district, there were 32 farm tanks, 19 pipeline milkers and 18 farm tank pipeline milker combinations. All 39 of the dairy opera tions in this region use milk-' ing parlors; 33 are stanchion lounging sheds. Twenty - five tvoe and sir of the narlor ' of the dairies have naved ; have raised platforms.

Thursday, January 30, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Select Listed Variety For Seed Certification Select a crop variety that is eligible if you want to qual ifv for seed certification in Oregon, advised Earle Jossy, Jackson County Agent. In other words, there is an ap proved list of crop varieties in the Oregon certification program. A variety does not make Br UNITED PRESS Douglas, Wyo. Caril Fugate, 14, sweetheart of "mad dpg killer" Charles Starkweather, 19, after both were cap tured, on how it felt to be in his company during his murder rampage through the Midwest: "I was afraid he was going to take me to Washington state and kill me." Hollywood Former mobster Mickey Cohen, on charges that he slugged a night club waiter during a party in honor of entertainer Sammy Davis Jr.: "I never start beefs with waiters. I'm always very friendly with waiters and generous with my tips." Washington Lincoln White, State Department spokes man, on London reports that the United States has changed its stand and now is prepared to take a short-cut to East West summit talks: "It should be abundantly clear that what we desire, as the President clearly states in his letter (to Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin), is to move toward a summit meeting under conditions which give promise of success. Moscow Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin, in a Tass news agency dispatch praising the new U.S.-Soviet cultural agreement, on the need for settlement of political disputes as well: "I would like to stress the great importance we attribute to concerted actions of the two countries for settling urgent international problems." Washington Chairman John C. Doerfer of the Federal Communications Commission, on the acceptance, as a loan, by FCC members of color television sets from manufacturers: "To us it's not a luxury. It's part of our job to see how it works. We look at television shows not for fun but to learn what's going on." 0 Farmers Vote No On Government Aid Philadelphia Farm Jour nal, a national farm publica tion, will say in its February issue that the majority of its readers who participated in a nationwide poll want less government help than they are getting. Of those who returned bal lots, published in the maga zine's December issue, almost exactly half 50.1 per cent wanted the government to "get clear out of farming." Another 11 per cent voted for "less government help than now." Only 27 per cent voted for more government help. The remaining 12 per cent said they were satisfied with farm programs as they now stand. Regional Variation's Defined. Regional variations were well defined, and on the whole predictable. Eastern farmers, who are traditional ly conservative and who grow few crops that are government-controlled, cast the greatest percentage of votes against federal programs 63 ing through strict grading to meet consumer demands, and to promote increased use of their products by consumers. mis engiDiuty list through a hocus-pocus procedure, but each variety, up for consid eration, is reviewed by the Oregon State college certifi cation board. Facts such as data showing adaption, yield, disease and insect resistance, and seed needs, are just some of the things that are exam ined by the certification board. Proved . superior per formance of -a new variety in one or more categories : over varieties not eligible is con sidered a requirement to elig ibility for certification.' Even though this procedure has been a part of the Ore gon certification program for many years, there are people who still believe that payment of certification fees entitles them to certification of almost any crop or variety. Subject to Revision This eligibility list is sub ject to revision each year by the board. As new superior crop varieties are developed, they may be added to the list. Older varieties that are re placed by better ones, are re moved from the eligibility variety list. Jossy reports that at least one year s advance notice is given before a variety is drop ped from certification. Final approval to delete or add a variety is given by the cer tification board. The board reserves the right of accepting for certification varieties recommended for production in Oregon by the Oregon Experiment station All crops recommended for production in the state will not automatically be eligible for certification. Only varie ties that contain superior qualities that may be lost without . a planned method of production are eligible, states Jossy. Many crops are produced for seed in Oregon that do not need a program such as this. With these, good seed can be maintained by a reasonable purity standards. Crop var ieties developed in other states, to be eligible for cer tification in Oregon, must b approved here, too. More iiv formation on this subject may be obtained in the Jackson County agents office. In Portland, ifs the DANMOORE HOTEL A Horns Away from Home. All rooms remodeled and refurnished . .

In the Central states, where wheat and corn, both subject to price supports, are major crops, the vote against the government dropped to 43 per cent, and the vote for still more government help rose to 35 per cent. v Southern- farmers, whose cotton, rice, and peanuts are all subject to supports, turned in the major surprise. Fifty three per cent of their ballots were cast against govern ment help. Those who voted for some government aid either about the same as now of more were asked on the ballot to say which of four types of aid they preferred. The current program of price supports and controls proved the favorite, capturing 43 per cent of this portion of the vote. Production pay ments (direct payments from the government to farmers) plus acreage controls ran neck and neck with votes in favor of the government mak ing payments to ' take land completely out of farming. Two Price Plan Unpopular A two-price plan (higher prices on what can 'be con sumed at home, lower prices on what can be expected) fin ished in last place, being sup ported mainly by Western wheat growers and Southern' cotton farmers. In a third vote, farmers who favored support prices with controls voted 'strongly (68 per cent) for higher sup ports than at present, even at the expense of still more rigid acreage controls. Only 8 per cent favored more acres and lower supports. The re maining 24 per cent would settle for supports and acre-': age as at present. Farm Journal explains that i its poll was voluntary, and I made only among its own subscribers. It points out, j however, that because of the j magazine's large circulation i (3,500,000) and the nation- ; wide distribution of that cir- culation, statistical consult ants "believe the results give 'a pretty good indication of farmer thinking." In an editorial in the same issue, signed by Carroll P. Streeter, the. magazine's edi tor, Farm Journal declares that farmers are "disillu sioned" with government pro grams to aid them and sug gests that lasting solutions will be found only as farm ers organize themselves to regulate their own produc tion to improve their market- Holmes To Fight Rate Discrimination ARE A REAL DELIGHT!
