When a superior crop is i
developed, some plan must!
be followed to safeguard the
genetic identity and purity of
the seed; otherwise, improved
varieties would become lost
for all practical purposes.
In the early days of certi
fication, when most of the
seed produced was used local
ly, it was not too difficult for
the certifying agency to trace
seed lots to approved sources
and to maintain good genetic
quality.
As seed production of a
given variety become wide
spread, and it was found nec
essary to grow seed away
from the area of principal
use, it became more important
to tie the production closer
to the original seed stock.
This was done by limiting the
production in areas away
from the original source of
seed to not more than a limit
ed number of generations.
This plan was first used
in the certification of red
clover. The pattern of in
crease is called the generation
system and is now set up in
most certification standards
through the use of the four
classes of seed: breeder,
foundation, registered and
certified.
Foundation Seed Needed
Breeder seed is maintained
by the originating agency, usu
ally an experiment station. No
certified seed of the "varieties
under this type of program
may be more than a limited
number of generations remov
ed. When this generation sys
tem is applied, the certified
class or blue tag, is not elgi-

hle for further certification.
The grower must obtain reg
istered or foundation seed to
qualify. Most of the certified
seed produced in Oregon is
according to this plan. The
trend is to have all forage
varieties under this type of
production. -
Growers sometimes fail to
recognize the importance of
this record ancestry. The cer
tification tag, which indicates
the class of seed planted, must
always accompany the appli
cation for certification. If
small quantities of seed are
used, it may be possible to
trace the pedigree to an eligi
ble seed source by means of
a sales slip and other records.
The certification tag is used
whenever possible, however.
If the check on seed source
reveals the grower has not
concrete evidence, other than
visible characteristics, that
his field is of a given eligble
variety or class. Certification
is denied, because the neces
sary seed or the pedigree his
tory is not properly recorded.
Even though the variety is
shown to be eligible, the pedi
gree must be complete in cer
tification. The complete seed
history must be traceable, if
necessary, to the original

Musi Renew Old
Brand Register
Salem A Columbia county
farmer wrote to the state de
partment of agriculture last
week asking to have his fam
ily brand re-recorded, thus re
vealing that some cattle own
ers are not aware that all
livestock brands must be reg
istered every five years.
In 1949, the legislature
passed a law requiring all
ranchers and farms to record
their brands with the depart
ment every five years, or the
brand expires and is open to
someone else. Previously, reg
istration was required every
10-year period, according to
M. E. Knickerbocker, chief of
the department's division of
animal industry.
Enclosed in the farmer's
letter was a 1935 certificate of
brand registration, the last
time the brand was recorded
to his family. Since that time
the brand in question has
been registered to someone
else. '
The next livestock brand
book will be issued in 1960.
Oregon livestock growers will
be notified in July, 1959, and
must re-register their brands
with the department by Jan
uary 1, 1960, to keep them
legal.

Completion Nears
For Surveys On
Holly Leaf Miner
Salem The' state depart
ment of agriculture is nearing
completion of its 1958 survey
work for two important pests,
the Khapra beetle and holly
leaf miner. This information
comes from F. P. Larson, the
entomologist who heads the
plant pest survey program for
the department.
No Khapra beetles have
been found in the 124 mills
inspected in the first four
months of 1958, Larson re
ports. The lesser grain borer,
primarily a pest of stored bar
ley and corn, has been re
covered at four locations. Dur
ing inspections of the mills,
the most prevalent species of
grain insect collected was the
saw-toothed grain beetle,- he
adds.
Larson commended the per
sonnel of a Portland mill who
reported what was believed
to be Khapra beetle in a
truckload of cottonseed meal
from Arizona delivered to
their establishment.
Specimens Collected
Specimens collected by the
Portland firm were determin
ed to be a species of carpet
beetle, closely related to the
Khapra beetle, but not the
same pest.
Larson urged all feed mills
finding suspicious pests to
notify the department. Cali
fornia, New Mexico and Ari
zona (the infested areas) are
under a strict federal guaran
tine and no shipments can be
made from any infested plant
except under suprvised fumi
gation. The Khapra beetle is
hard to find until it builds
up to such a huge population
that it costs tremendous
amounts of money to eradic
ate, Larson explained.
Surveys to date for holly
leaf miner show that the in
fested areas have increased
in intensity, but - there has
been no appreciable spread,
according to department re
ports. It has not been found
in any large commercial orch
ards. Infestations have been
found in and around the East
moreland district in Portland,
in Astoria and as far south
as the northern edge of Glad
stone'. . ' . - .

The application of a DDT

weeks of May is advised to
control holly leaf miner. The
spray is directed at the adult,

the first week in May.
Rate Reductions
Asked For Spuds
Salem Oregon's Agricul
ture Director Robert J. Se
ward has filed a request with
railroads serving central and
southern Oregon for freight
rate reductions on carload
shipments of potatoes to Cali
fornia on a parity with those
in effect since April 15 from
southern Idaho.
His request supported ap
plications by the Oregon Po
tato commission and potato
shippers.
"The principal adjustment
needed and requested," Stew
ard said, "is from central Ore
gon which did not share in
reduced rates from Klamath
Falls to the San Francisco and
Los Angeles areas effective
April 22." Also requested is
an extension of those reduc
tions to the San Diego area,
which was included in the
reduced rates from Idaho.
Steward said California is
the principal market for cen
tral and southern Oregon po
tatoes and that both areas still
have a good many carloads
from the 1957 crop to move in
competition with Idaho pota
toes. He added that these re
quests will be consireded by
the railroads at a special
meeting of their rate commit
tee in Portland April 29.

CHIT
By JOE G. COWLEY
Mail Tribune Farm Editor
Maybe you missed it. A small item on Wednesday's front
page of the Mail Tribune was headlined "Housewives Join
Boycott of Fresh Meats in Portland."
' The article continued to say that effective Thursday
morning, (this morning) housewives will join their southern
California sisters in an organized boycott of fresh meats until
the prices drop.
Such a campaign was snowballed by Mrs. George Adams,
Portland, who learned of the boycott in southern California.
That old reliable instrument for good or evil the telephone
did the rest.
We made a random check of the meat prices in an
Ashland market and learned
55 cents a pound and the beef steaks at $1.49 a pound.
Since we eat a lot of beef like many of you, we grabbed
the paper and read the item mentioned twice and checked
one or two of the wholesale outlets here to see what the
situation is.
One such place stated that
up two cents in the livestock
10 cents. And thfs is a tender point why should this be?
one source explained that beef on the hoof includes the bone
as well as the meat. Therefore, the meat dealer must include
this cost, plus the cost of processing. Many housewives, Little
Diminity the wife, included,
beef or any other product comes all nicely packaged in celo-
phane and trimmed up for the
for it and plenty!
We checked with one of the wholesale dealers which
services the area from Grants Pass to Dunsmuir, Calif. Meat
sales in volume are about the same based on either a monthly
or yearly average, the men there said.
However, we checked with a more talkative wholesale
dealer representative and she said prices are really up on
beef and pork. Meat sales have been slow from the hunting
season through the present time, this spokesman said. This
is generally true each year, she added. Right after Christmas
prices of beef really started climbing. Reason for this is
that the live market peak is so extremely high, she said
further.

are doing. However, organized sales resistance is a little
hard to achieve many times.
Best way, a wholesale dealer advised, is to go to a live
stock sale and pick out a steer for slaughter. Of course, if
you don't know what a good steer looks like you had better
take someone along who does. A 700 lb. steer, reduced to
cutting and wrapping will cost, all told, about $200. This
figures- such a steer will dress out about 42 per cent meat,
or about 400 lbs. Average cost per pound is 50 cents.

efforts to promote sale of local farm products. And that's
a good idea. Trend now seems to be that of diminishing
truck crop production and increasing population in the
Rogue Valley. Then there's the old problem of which comes
first the egg or the chicken? Some people are urging a large
cooperative similar to the Eugene Fruit Growers, but the
produce average has to be ready to bring the cooperative
and the cooperative has to be set up to' encourage the farmers
to divert their acreage to truck crops. That seems to be the
big idea behind this drive increased local use of local
vegetables.
Of course, looking at the problem from the view of the
retailer there is not sufficient volume of high quality pro
duce the year around. The supermarket sells the bulk of our
daily food and it requires large volume, all uniformly pro
cessed and attractively packaged. The local truck crops are
of high quality but not enough of them all the time. As one
agricultural authority here put it, "There is no off-season
market now. Long-distance refrigeration railroad cars and
trucks take care ofvthat."
We do think that local people should buy the local
produce when they see it on store shelves. It's just good
business. Local farmers pay taxes to support local institutions
like the schools. Many of them are leaders in community
affairs. Also, the local produce, such as you see in the
roadside fruit and vegetable stands, is cheaper since it is
not processed ready to pop into the oven. But it is high
quality. So you are getting good quality at a lower price
by buying such local produce. This saving should be im
portant to the housewife since 25 per cent of the U.S. income
is spent on food, according to the marketing specialists.
This may surprise you, but the consumer does have con
siderable say about both products and prices. Don't buy
something and the groceryman will drop it off his shelves
like a hot potato. Buy quantities of a product whether you
actually like it or not and he will fill his shelves with it.
The food marketing industry itself has been doing much
research, product development and merchandising study,
trying to find out what the housewife will or will not buy.
They have come up with a few basic facts today's food
shoppers are different from their grunting and grinding
grandmothers. New merchandising techniques make a big
impression and they buy on impulse. Like Little Diminity,
the wife, if she can press a button and make it squirt, squeeze
the package and make it spurt or can zip off the package
and drop it in the pot she's for it. That's because she be
longs to the ranks of more younger married women, 30
per cent of whom are working and have little time for the
kitchen.
Such shoppers are demanding a much wider variety of
food products on a year around basis. Also, they are once-a-week
shoppers. They will drive across town for "best buys."
So, that is what the local farmer is up against. His
product must be conveniently and attractively packaged,
displayed in mass array and at "the right price." The only
answer we can think of is a "Local Products Week" during
which the grocery stores are encouraged to boost Tiome
grown farm products. That's the possible immediate answer.
A long range one might be some well-organized, small pro
cessing plants which would handle a gradually increasing
volume of produce as more land is brought trader irrigation
in the valley.
There has been considerable fuss about pelleting
whether it is good or bad.
Oregon State college has been conducting some experi
ments with hay "wafers" for dairy cows. This work was not
complete in December when the argument over pelleting
reached its peak. Now the report is in.
Hay "wafers" for dairy cows (compressed chopped alfalfa)
has proved superior for butterfat production and equal to
the finely-ground pelleted hay, feeding trials at the college
reveal. . . -
These wafers are easy-to-handle and have the high
quality baled or loose alfatfa feed value. Tests showed no
difference in milk production between the three types of
feed baled hay, pellets and wafers. '
More butterfat was produced while on baled hay or
wafers compared with pellets, said I. R. Jones, OSC dairy
specialist. The wafers tend to stay in the cow's rumen
while the pellets pass through too' rapidly to aid in produc
ing buttermilk.
.Wafers are made of hay chopped into one-inch lengths
and are like long hay for the time they stay in the cow's

i Plastic Mulch
Used Effectively
To Control Weeds
Corvallis Looking for a
way to get out of hoeing
weeds in your garden this
summer? Try using black
plastic as a mulch, suggests
R. Ralph Clark, extension
horticulturist at Oregon State
college.
Mulching Using a layer
of sawdust, straw, grass clip
pings, or other material to
cover the soil has proven
quite helpful in controlling
weeds in the past. And some
thing new and very effective
for this purpose is black poly
ethylene plastic film,' Clark
said.
In addition to helping keep
weeds out of garden rows, the
black plastic also lowers wat
er losses from the soil so that
it's often possible to use few
er irrigations or sprinklings
on garden crops. Tests at the
OSC agricultural experiment
station and the USDA re
search center at Beltsville,
Md., also indicated that vege
table crops mulched with the
black plastic in 1957 grew
faster and larger, and yielded
more, than plants, without
mulch.
Available in Rolls
The black polyethylene
plastic film is available in
rolls at most garden and
hardware stores, Clark said.
The material comes in several
thicknesses, and may be used
for several years if handled
carefully. This spreads cost
of the material over a longer
period of time, he points out.
Information on how to use
the black plastic material can
be found in a bulletin titled,
"Plastic Mulches for Horti
cultural Crops," published by
the OSC agricultural experi
ment station. The bulletin
gives information on width
and thickness of plastic to use
on various vegetable crops,
uses pictures to show how to
apply the plastic film, and
lists hints on how to manage
garden crops when the black
plastic is used.
Oregon residents can get a

show good earnings for some
consumer lines, notably drugs,

and very poor earnings for the
capital goods industries like

Now the problem of the ex

easy money will offset lower

analysis of the situation.
This, of course, is the big
problem of the stock market
groups who are carefully
studying current price trends.
Market analysts note that
there is an overhead supply of
stock around current levels
and the supply increases as
the average rises above 450.
That means many people who
bought stock some time ago
are eager to sell when they
can get out even or with a

First Corn Plantings
Required Nov, Agent Says
By DON BERRY
County Horticultural Agent
Now that warm growing
weather may be expected, a
wide variety of seeds may be
planted with less danger of
the seed rotting in the ground
or plants becoming stunted
from lack of sunshine.
Home gardeners who have
not already done so should
also have their cool weather
transplants set out also. These
transplants should include
cabbage, and cauliflower.
Pest Controls
Required Early
By DON BERRY
Cunty Horticultural Agent
More home gardeners are
applying inseecticides to their
soils to control soil insects be- J
fore planting them. Bugs like
wire worms, cucumber beetle
larvae, white grubs and other
soil inhabiting pests can be
controlled for two years or
longer by simply applying an
insecticide to the soil before
working up the garden in the
spring. In addition, plant in
jury from root maggots which
attack radishes, turnips, cab
bage and seed corn will be
reduced or eliminated.
It is important that the in
secticides be mixed thorough
ly with the soil to a depth of
4 to 6 inches. A rotary tiller is
excellent but mixing with a
disc or by hand is also satis
factory if thorough mixing is
obtained. Any one of the fol
lowing materials may be used:
Aldrin, Dieldrin or Hepta-
chlor.
Apply 2 lbs. of 5 per cent
granular or V2 pint of emulsi
fiable concentrate in five to
ten gallons of water for each
1,000 sq. ft. of soil to be treat
ed. Do not overdose since
plant injury could be caused
by excessive amounts of insec
ticide in the soil.
This treatment would also
be beneficial prior to setting
out strawberry beds and cane
berry patches as vell as flow
er beds, especially those which
contain primroses, rhododen
dron and begonias, for con
trolling strawberry root wee
vil and wire worms.
reports of corporations were
beginning to appear.
That rise, it now appears,
was produced largely by short
covering. The bears jumped to
the conclusion the market
would spurt on the moves to
ward easier money, moves
which already have brought
down the prime lending rate
in commercial banks.
This time the railroad and
utility departments outshone
the industrials which market
men watch more closely than
other sections of the market.
The New Highs
Rails set a new high since
last October. Utilities and the
65-stock average of the Dow
Jones calculation set new
highs, the utilitiy since 1930
and the 65 stocks since last
Oct. 4.
Utilities have been making
a good showing in profits and
some of them have raised divi
dends. The industrial average mov
ed higher at a slower pace and
set something of a quadruple
top. It hit 449.87 last Nov. 29;
458.65 on Feb. 4, the year's
high; 455.92 on March 11, and
closed at 450.72 on April 21.
Most of the services look for
irregular markets in the near
term. They admit the market
often discounts a business re
covery but hold it is too early
to expect such process now.
This level of the market is
seen as a testing phase, and a
lot of the market's ability to
progress further is said to de
pend on how investors take
the first quarter reports, and
possible dividend cuts.

Seeding of cool weather crops
of turnips, beets, lettuce and
spinach should be planted as
soon as possible and growers
may also get in the early po
tato varieties as well as the
first plantings of corn.
Most of these crops should
be planted in successions of
10 days or two weeks in order
to lengthen the harvest sea
son. Early plantings of turnips
and beets should be planted
thick, and thinnings of the
young plants may be pulled
and cooked, tops and all, since
there are more vitamins and
minerals in the tops than the
roots.
Picking Leaves Helps
Spinach will grow and pro
duce until early summer, and
picking leaves rather than
pulling entire plants will
lengthen the season. Parsnips
planted now will be ready for
use in September and can be
left in the ground all winter
and dug as needed. As with
carrots the seed is slow to ger
minate and both should be
planted soon.
The most enthusiastic gard
eners could set out early to
matoes under tents. It should
be remembered, however, that
this is always a gamble this
early in the season. A couple
of small holes about the size
of a lead pencil should be put
in the tents to permit ventila
tion. Set early tomatoes fairly
shallow and planting at a 45 .
angle to encourage the rooting
of long stems is sometimes
beneficial.
For early celery one half to
one dozen plants is sufficient
for the home garden. Remov
ing celery leaves similar to
rhubarb rather than the entire
stck will increase home gar
den use.
All of the early garden
crops should be planted as
soon as the soil may be work
ed. Undue delay would be
detrimental to cool weather
crops when their growing sea
son is extended into the hot
part of the summer.
