G 4A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Ttiunday, Juni 5, 1951 o Federal Matching Funds For Four State Marketing Salem FederaLmatching funds have been requested to continue four-pregon market ing service projects through the fiscalOyear beginning on July 1, according to Robert J. Steward, State department of agriculture director. (These include joint studies aift Orts by the state- de partment of agriculture and the state college, experimentj station on: (1) improving fil bert storage methods to facil itate holding over surplus crop production and even out seasonal supplies and pricesjJ potato storage ana nana ling Methods for different consumer uses; (3) the effects of variation in temperature and humidity on field seeds in storage and in shipment; and (4) means of developing and assuring virus-free nur sery stock. Field Phases Field phases of the pro jects are carried on by the department's division of plant industry. Laboratory and other studies are con ducted by the Oregon Agri cultural Experiment station. Approximately half of the project costs are paid by fed eral research and marketing funds, "which are obtained through the department's di vision of market develop ment.

The new "apple mealybug still confined to a compara tively small area in central Willamette Valley and the filbert leafroller that has be come widespread in recent years are among pests dis cussed in the 16-page illus trated booklet. The filbert aphid and fil- bertworm, both long - time pests, have also become more serious in recent years, re ported Robert Every, OSC en tomology specialist, who co- authored the bulletin with B G. Thompson, OSC professor emeritus of entomology. Copies of the bulletin are available from county exten sion agents or the OSC bulle tin clerk, Corvallis. More than a dozen major pests are reviewed with illustrations of insects and the damage they do, along with spray and dust control recommendations.- RETIRED BANKER DIES St. Agnes, Cornwall, Eng land (UPI) Alburn E.'

He adds that they are anxious for tentative results on these projects for possible pilot ad aptation to commercial prac tices. Results should be avail able during the coming sea son, according to Steward. The virus-free nursery stock project is a longer-range pro gram, and will require sev eral years of work. Progress during the past year is very promising, Steward com ments. Federal matching funds for these projects are allocated during June for the coming year, said Paul T. Rowell, chief of the market develop ment division, who serves as the department's project lead er and coordinator with Ore gon state college. Predictions Given On Fruit Traffic Salem If predictions come true, the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables shipped from Oregon in the year 1953-59 will be about the same as the total for the year which ends June 30. The pre dictions were made by federal-state shipping point super visors in Oregon. These eight men who are stationed at Ontario, Milton Freewater, Hood River, Port land, Salem, Redmond, Med ford and Klamath Falls foresee 38,998 cars will be in spected during the coming year. The supervisors often hit pretty close to the final fig ure, even though their esti mates are made before plant ing is completed and before weather conditions and other growing hazards make their appearance.

This word comes from Kenneth E. Carl, in charge of milk law enforce ment for the state department of agriculture. CHIT By JOE G. Mail Tribune We just finished reading a "Baked Beans." In case you the writer who has gathered and changed them into words. Now that title of "Baked Beans" means, several different things to different people. To a Navy man baked beans brings back unpleasant memories of those super-laxative brown pellets lie scraped off can.' To the average housewife plate signals the budget is pretty low this month. But the baked beans John Gould has written about and which make our mouth" water are those which came out of a sturdy New England type cooking pot. Baked beans have long been a solid food for New Eng land farm folk. Saturday night, as we learned from our Maine grandmother, is bean night down east. Probably the reason for this is it takes much of Saturday afternoon to prepare a good Sunday meal "fittin' to invite the preacher to." So a quickly prepared but substantial meal is called for Saturday night. Sounds awful? Why? If you and brownbread New England style you -have missed some thing. The beans are especially prepared. The right kind of beans have to, be soaked a certain length of time, then the pork and molasses are added Of course, they have to be of time. too. With the stove know the cannibals used to taining humans, but to watch magic beans, we often thought danced around large bean pots. And don't forget the brown ial recipe handed down from the batch of dough was well the carefully hoarded baking day night supper would be something special with the steam rising off the brown mound of beans and the thick, ricrfbut ter melting in yellow blobs on the hot round slices of brown bread dotted with raisins. A week end at Grandma's the grandchildren because it meant a special kind of good eating. Supper Friday night with thick clam chowder, the baked beans and brownbread Saturday night, cod-fish balls with good country bacon Sunday morning and, of course, the big Sunday dinner. This would, during the summer in clude corn on the cob, biue-berry muffins and blue-berry pie. As you should know by now, June Dairy Month started last Sunday. The idea is to put dairy products in people's stomachs, thus boost both the health and economy of the area dairy-wise. This isn't a bad idea. Milk is considered by authorities on food as one of the most complete foods there is. Those who aren't drinking after tasting it fresh from the Those who are weight conscious might try the fortified skimmed milk. The wife likes line of no-milk drinkers. However, if June Dairy Month or any other dairy pro motion is to do any good, it will have to be the start ot, a lasting selling campaign. One well-known authority on sales manship says you have to sell the gurgle of the milk, the golden sweetness in the butter, and the velvety smooth and cool richness of the ice cream. Also, we might add, the mer chants have to hear the tinkle of their cash-register bells as the dairymen's earnings are spent in this area. Then, maybe some of the more influential merchant-politicos will do some thing about the dairyman's problems. Speaking of dairymen, we know of one rated as a pretty smart cookie by his friends and neighbors. They report his careful study of the stock market has paid off. Considering the present situation of the dairyman, you might say this one is milking the market and feeding his tows. Plenty of frank praise was heaped on County Horticul tural Agent Cliff Cordy Tuesday night at the Rogue Valley County club and we will have to add our two cents worth. Among his many efforts in furnishing the pear industry with the right-technical advice is his work in teaching area pear men how to combat effectively pear blight. As Charles Smith, assistant director of Oregon State Col lege Extension service said that night, about 20 years ago it didn't look as if the plight would leave many pear trees pro ducing in the valley. Then, Prof. F. C. Reimer, head of the experiment station here in the early days, got busy with his crew. Blight resistant root and trunk stock was developed and more efficient control measures brought out. Cliff and Lyle Wilcox, who was then county agent, pitched in and, as our church editor would say, spread the gospel. As Professor Reimer commented Tuesday night, Cliff has set a remarkable record in satisfying the growers for so many years. Reimer added that he has never known the pear men to agree on one thing 100 per cent as they do about Cliff's able guidance and major contributions to the pear industry. From our viewpoint, we do know that Cliff has been patient and helpful in enabling us to get a better insight into this prominent part of the valley's economy. . & Our contribution to boosting use of dairy products is this: A dentist told us some time ago that mixing powdered milk with skimmed milk would give us all the vitamins of milk which we need for good bone development and energy without the weight producing part. Also, we would like to see milk dispensing machines placed in all the schools. That would give the kids a choice of drinks, anyway. We understand the industry is now experimenting with different flavors of milk to make a stronger bid for the younger consumers. County agents have been sent recently information on a new chemical called Simazin. According to the extension headquarters in Corvallis, this has been cleared for use on field and sweet corn. . Recommended dosage is two pounds as a pre-emergent spray for broad leaf weed control. This means one pound of active chemical. Recommended dosage for barnyard grass is four to six pounds per acre or two to three pounds of active chemical. Equipment used should have some agitation. Also, there should be at least a half inch of moisture to activate the chemical. Authorities warn that four to six . pounds of Simazin can damage legume or ryegrass cover crops. It is recom mended that rye, winter barley or oats be used for cover crops where this type of spray has been used. One of the purposes of June Dairy Month is to promote better public understanding of the dairy industry and its products, Carl continues. He lists Oregon standards so con sumers may be aware of the quality of the state-inspected dairy products they buy.

' - 1 OSC Outlines Slate Weed Pests; Field Day Set Corvallis Public enemies No. 1, 2, and 3 among Oregon weeds have been identified in a recent survey of Oregon county extension agents. Agents put the finger on Canada thistle, wild morning glory, and tansy ragwort as the most persistent weed para sites operating against Ore gon farm crops. The first two pests will get major attention at an Oregon State college weed field day, June 6, near Corvallis. The field day starts at 9:30 a.m. at the OSC Hyslop ex perimental farm midway be tween Corvallis and Albany just off Highway 20. William Furtick and David Chilcote, OSC researchers, will report methods of getting 90 to 95 percent control of Canada thistle with the new chemical ATA, using 8. pounds per acre of the commercial product. The weed was re ported a major pest in 22 Ore gon counties. Morning Glory Menace Wild morning glory was listed a menace in 17 counties, mostly in the Columbia Basin. Control is still in the experi mental stage with field trials throughout Oregon using a new herbicide of the Chloro benzoic acid family. Furtick will give a progress report. Tansy ragwort is running wild in 12 Oregon counties, mainly in the coastal area but needlessly the research ers say. Early June spraying with 2, 4-D ester before the weed blooms will give excel lent control. Hard-to-control quackgrass was named among the three most troublesome weeds in eight counties, and Russian thistle ranked high in seven counties. White top and gorse also rated the "most unwant ed" list as worst pests in three counties. Other weed problems sched uled for review at the field day include use of new chemi cals some just coming on the market this year for "selective control" of weeds in clover, corn, and cereal crops. New research findings for chemical control of Weeds in strawberry fields also will be reported. Field Day On Red Soil Study Corvallis New research findings for more efficient crop production on Western Oregon's red hill soils will be reDoried June 20 at the an nual field day of the Oregon State college Red Soils branch experiment station near Ore gon City. J. T. McDermid, station su perintendent,- has scheduled the field tour from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the station south of Oregon City just off the high way to Molalla. Program highlights include a reDort on soil fertility ex periments with alfalfa and other relume crops by T.

Francis P. Keough, Archbishop of Baltimore, at Mount St. Mary's College, Gettysburg, Pa.' (UPI Telephoto) State Finds Errors In Milk Payments Salem The first audit of 86 milk plants completed un der the new grade A rtilk usage law should, result in adjustments to grade A pro ducers aggregating into ,six figures, Robert J. Steward, di rector of the state department of agriculture, has just re vealed. In two cases, pro ducers were overpaid by a to tal of more than S2500. The milk auditors, whom Steward says are highly quali fied in their field, are headed by D. P. Shoup as field super visor. "Producers should not jump to the conclusion that process ing plants have deliberately underpaid them for milk," Steward said. "Adjustments have already been made in some cases and will be made shortly in others; one group of producers voluntarily for gave an underpayment," Stew ard added. He cited several Teasons for the improper payments, most of which involved pooling pro cedures. Causes included im proper deductions from a milk pool, including transportation charges deducted from a total pool instead of the portion to which they belong; improper, conversion factors; inadequate records; mathematical errors; and methods, payment policies and plant operations of which management was unaware. Can Be Corrected He said none of these situa tions present problems which plants cannot correct before the next semi-annual audit He added that on the whole plants have cooperated very well with the auditors. N "The first round of audits has been largely exploratory and the department has at tempted to see that producers are reimbursed," Steward ex plained. But in future audits, he said, the department busi ness manager, E. A. Bamford, who is responsible for the milk usage audit, will mail producers notice of comple tion of an audit and whether it is satisfactory or unsatisfac tory. One of the biggest problems in the audits is tracing the flow of milk. This involves a study of both fluid and manu facturing milk received at each plant. Largely because of this problem, the department made 12 reaudits during the initial period. On the point of inadequate records, Shoup's report shows that on paper some plants used more milk than they re ceived and others showed losses running as high as 42 per cent of the intake. Steward said the depart ment has found only one oper HELP US CELEBRATE! OIPEM IMUSIE MARKING THE COMPLETION OF OUR EXPANSION AND MODERNIZATION PRIZES SPECIALS GALORE! CAKE and ICE CREAM!
