COWLEY Mail Tribun Farm Editor We were thumbing through one of the wife's magazines the other day and cam across an article about life in suburbs. It is written by one of the foremost developers of suburban housing in defense of the "peas in a pod way of life." He answers the complaints that homes in such develop ments are all the samer there is no privacy, tracts are "young children's ghettos," and people who live in tracts become stereotyped, drab and dull. That's one of the many advantages of life. in southern Oregon or in the rest of the state you have room to stretch, to ramble around. People here do not have to follow a pattern of living. As a newcomer remarked people in this area still have the pioneer's, ideas on living. They want to do what they want to do, when they want to do it and have plenty of room to do it in. , This seems particularly true of those who live in the small towns. Contrary to the magazine author's beliefs people in small towns do have privacy. However, there are plenty of community affairs for those who want the buzz of constant activity. In the small town we live in a man is still judged on, whether he has a good garden in and a large woodpile. You might say this area has a leisurely "rabbit hunting" type of living compared to the scurrying "train chasing" type of living in the more crowded suburbs of the east. Children don't live in "ghettos" where houses are all alike on postage stamp size lots. There's plenty of room to climb trees, hunt, fish and to skip stones over the waters of a nearby stream. Speaking of hunting, many of the farmers, and particu larly their wives, in the Sams Valley-Beagle area are irate over 'coon hunters turning their hounds loose on pet cats. It seems the hunters set their dogs on the domestic cats just to N keep the hounds in practice. This is particularly true when they have had an unsuccessful night's hunt. i However, with the recent rains the ground should be damp enough still to keep the scent of the 'coons and pro vide some good hunts. Shooting housecats from their perches for dogs to finish is not only needless cruelty and vandalism but downright dangerous to the nearby residents. We've been in a California ranch house when bird shot from hunters guns rattled against the window-pane. After many warnings, the ranch boss finally stopped it by break ing a shotgun over his knee and literally booting a hunter off his property. We would hate to see even a few hunters get that careless here. We like to get out and shoot our selves so hope the few won't spoil the opportunity to hunt on farm land for the majority. Hunters have also performed valuable services for the farmers particularly the predatory, animal hunters who keep down the numbers of animals preying on farm stock. In Jackson county alone it's estimated such bounty hunters save the farmers considerable money annually in preventing stock losses due to predators. Alsow hunting done by the thousands of sportsmen, if done intelligently and with consideration for the farmer's rights, can protect the farmer against crop losses. A surplus of deer have ruined many fine crops in other sections of the country. Redmond will have an Oregon cattlemen's convention in 1959. It might have been slated for Medford. In fact, we understand Medford just missed it through lack of active promotion. Portland will have, it there in the follow ing year because of the centennial celebration. The date after that will be open. Figuring $15 a day per convention , goer, Medford' lost an estimated $13,500 by not .having the event scheduled here. Those who attended the event May 11 through May 14 in Ontario estimate 300 were there. It's too bad ihat local service organizations and clubs of Jackson county don't make a continuous effort to pro mote agriculture in the valley and thus boost the economy of the area as a whole. If there had been an active liaison between business and agriculture here this MIGHT not have happened. (A Chamber, of Commerce convention bid is not recognized). The Medford Kiwanis club, we feel, is making a step in the right direction by planning a county fair at the new armory Aug. 21-24. This organization is hoping to have many "exhibits of agricultural activities in the valley. But the Kiwanians can't do it themselves, they will need help and plenty of it. Many of the home-economics extension clubs in the county are enthusiastic, according to reports. They are planning to have a number of displays, " according to ' a Kiwanian spokesman. Various service clubs also are planning games and con cessions. Marilyn Van Derbur, Miss America," is scheduled to participate in the beauty and talent contest at the fair, a spokesman said. She will crown the local queen and possibly make appearances at the 4-H and FFA fair planned for Aug. 19 through Aug. 23. We are told more activities are in the planning stage and will be announced later. Jackson county cattlemen can expect an intensive drive after Aug. 1 for a larger membership in the Oregon Cattle men's association, according to two, local spearheaders of the state-wide drive. These two men insist beef must be promoted as an agriculture product the same as pears and milk. To do this solidarity of action is needed. Therefore, more members are needed for the county and state organizations, so their numbers and money can more effectively promote the sale of beef. This was the thought, too, behind the state department of agriculture's idea of setting up a beef com mission. However, too few stock owners on a state-wide basis were for the idea. It lost when it came up for vote. Local promoters estimate that 44,000 cattle owners in the state could belong to the association. A total of about 1,200 cattlemen now belong. Membership in the organiza tion is not restricted to beef producers. Dairymen who sell cows for beef can belong also, it was pointed out. Why every cattleman should belong to his state and county cattlemen's association is best summed up by an OCA pamphlet called "Why Beef." "Every cattleman has two distinct sets of problems: one set pertains to his own ranch operations, and the other to his industry. Your association can't get your hay up work your cattle or fix your fences. It can however, do countless other chores which will put or keep many dollars in your pocket." About 16 of such chores are listed. They range from influencing state or national legislation to offsetting unfair and untruthful publicity which is damaging to the livestock producton business. Deputy State Sealer Named To Committee Salem Walter B. Steele, Oregon's deputy state sealer with the state department of agriculture, was named to the executive committee of the National Conference on Weights and Measures at their 43rd conference in Washing ton, D.C., earlier in June. He was elected to a one year team. More than 500 weights and measures officials and representatives of busi ness and industry from throughout the United States and territories attended the conference.

Jahn, Foothills road, Medford, tries her hand at clipping a goat's coat. She and other members of the Kaper Kids 4-H dairy goat club practiced clipping following a demonstration by leader Mrs. Donald Lindstrom. This club is the only dairy goat club in the county. Peach Blight Seen A number of the peach growers in the area have been reporting trouble with Cali fornia peach blight, County Agent Don Berry said. This disease is showing up as reddish to purplish spots on the fruit, somewhat resem bling those caused by San Jose scale. Ordinarily this area is not affected by this disease because of our hot dry sum mers. Prolonged rainy spells this year caused the appear ance of this disease, and more rain could increase trouble from this organism, while hot dry weather will check its State Inspectors Work 2,204 Days; Duties Extensive Salem A handful of men, the state department of agri culture's livestock officers, worked 2204 days and drove 292,496 miles last year in carrying out a variety of state duties. This report is. almost six months behind schedule, but Animal Division Chief M. E. Knickerbocker says there's a good reason. The clerical staff has been too involved in more demanding work to compile the figures. Seven livestock officers worked from January to Au gust when the unit was in creased to 11 men due to the tie-in with supervision of non technical work of lay meat in spectors. . h:; This is how the livestock of ficers spent their time last year and it'll show you broadly what they do: J. They spent 653 days investi gating livestock theft cases, 96 days searching for estray ani mals, 112 days inspecting auc tion yards and 20 inspecting garbage and rendering plants. That wasn't all. Another 318 days were absorbed in in specting operations of 654 ap plicants for meat dealer li censes as well as 696 days on Livestock brand inspections and 13 on brand recording work. Fort y-nine investigations growing out of the division's brucellosis and tuberculosis control program claimed 112 days; 63 days were devoted to basic livestock sanitation in vestigations and 111 to the meat inspection program. . These' officers made 31 ar rests, two-thirds of which were on charges of larceny of livestock or related causes. They conducted 226 investi gations of law violations; made 367 road checks; and handled 1022 routine investi gations, 50 per cent of which involved meat, dealers and brand inspections. They at tended 105 meetings. The tally doesn't mention tele phone calls, but it does show 28 days sick leave and 43 days annual leave. Most of the activity of these men is chargeable to a parti cular license or fee account. The single exception is 460 of the hours and 5227 miles of the travel spent in searching for more than 200 of the estray animals reported.

Where the disease is a prob lem, peach growers can spray with wettable surfur or cap tan, providing temperatures do not exceed- 95 degrees for several days following the fungicide application. Wet table sulfur would also be ef fective in J suppressing mites and mildew. If the weather should be come hot and dry during July, increased peach blight infec tions on the peaches are not anticipated, Fungicide sprays applied after harvest and be fore the fall rains occur (this will be the middle of October) are very important for con trolling peach blight on the twigs and branches. All com mercial growers and home gardeners should make a spe cial effort this fall to see that these sprays are applied prop erly. Texan Gets Truth On Oregon Apples Salem A Texas man re cently sent this query to the state department of agricul ture: What area grows the best apples, and what kind? W. L. Close, who has watched shipments and qual ity of Oregon's commercial apple production . for more than 20 years, says, "Why, any man from Texas ought to know that all apples grown in Oregon are the best."

Mrs. Donald Lindstrom, 2793 Springbrook road, Med ford, gave the demonstration to the Medford 4-H club of which she is a leader. Members tried clipping sev eral goats. A dehorning dem onstration was given on two of the goats. During the business meet ing, equipment needed this fall at the county fair was discussed. Next meeting was scheduled for this Thursday. Club members were to start out in cars from the Lind strom house to visit each home to see the goats of the members. , Hair Worms Seen In Local Gardens Earlier this spring many of the home gardeners reported noticing an abundance of hair worms around the yard and garden, County Agent Don Berry said. As the name im plies these worms are very thin and up to three inches in length, and were noted mostly during the morning or evening when the garden was moist. standing up on their tails and whipping around like minia ture cobras. Actually, this animal falls in the category of nematodes and might be classified as benefic ial since they are common parasites of insects. Grasshop pers, crickets, ants and va rious beetles are the common host of these nematodes. According to Dr. Harold Jensen at Oregon State college it is very difficult to get spe cific identities on this group of nematodes but he did feel that they were parasites of in sects and would in no way harm man, animals or garden Thrips Pester Home Gardeners By DON BERRY County Extension Agent One of the pests of interest to our berry growers, both commercial and backyard gar deners, are thrips. Each year we get a lot of in quiries about controlling the tiny, thread-like black bugs about one-sixteenth of an inch long present on raspberries and boysenberries.' It is not difficult to control the thrips present on the ber ries, but since they are gen erally present on many weeds, flowers, grasses and other plants, keeping a patch clean is hard because of the constant reinfestation. . Repeated sprays of mala thion between" pickings will materially reduce the thrips in a berry patch. . from your orchard FOR MITES I in n . i i i i LI U L Dripping Naples Slopped by Spray Home owners who had trou ble with dripping Maple trees last year should spray this year for controlling cottony maple scale. This pest is easily noted on the maple trees, showing up as white, cottony blobs on the twigs and 'branches. From these cottony masses thou sands of tiny crawlers are be ginning to emerge. Barely visible tp the naked eye, these tiny crawlers settle on the twigs and foliage and begin secreting a sticky fluid called "honey-dew" which drips from the tree causing a sticky deposit on bicycles, automobiles, chairs, tables and other objects under the trees. The crawlers are just be ginning to emerge and since they are difficult to control until they are all hatched, de laying control measures for a woislr nv ton Have urnnlH hi advisable. One gallon summer oil plus two pounds of 25 per , cent malathion wettable pow der per one hundred gallons of water should be applied at that time. This spray will also help control aphids, thus giv ing, a double barreled effect in cleaning up maple pests. Home owners who are no ticing defoliation on their elm trees no doubt will want to control the elm leaf beetle im mediately. Where serious these pests cause the tree to lose foliage, and turn brownish, somewhat resembling damage from fire. Since several broods per year cause damage until fall frosts, spraying is import ant in controlling these pests. A spray of DDT and malathion will control for the remainder of the season. when you want if! 5&j SPRINKLER 25 ft $3.98 SO ft. $5.91 including reel ' New!
