4A MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Oregon, Thursday, April 16, 1959 Farm & Garden Farm Planning Objective Given Jackson and Josephine coun ty farmers who borrow from the Farmers Home Adminis tration have completed re viewing their records for the past year and making their farming plans for this year, according to Eugene Denney the agency's local supervisor. "One of the basic objec tives of farm planning," Den ney said, "is putting into op eration better farming prac tices. It is pretty difficult for us to talk about farm planning without knowing what has been done. This is why we feel that a review of records is important." "It is easier for us," Denney stated, "to talk about Grade 'A dairy farms which we con sider to be more typical of the programs followed by Farm ers Home Administration bor rowers in this area. A sum mary of the 1958 records for Agriculture Jobs Steadily Rise OSC Men Report Corvallis The number of U.S. farmers may be decreas ing every year but the num ber of people working in agri culture is steadily increasing and the job outlook for this year's graduates in agricul ture may be about the bright est in history, according to Oregon State college officials. The number of Americans "down on the farm" is getting smaller because farm opera tions are getting bigger, and because per acre production is ever climbing. To many, the fact that the number, of persons employed on farms has dropped from 13,555,000 in 1913 to 7,525, 000 in 1958 is a sign that op portunities in agriculture are dimming. Exactly the reverse is true, says Wilbur Cooney, associate dean of agriculture at OSC. Biggest Industry Agriculture is the nation's biggest single industry. It em ploys 40 per cent of the 65 million people who work in the United States today and its customers increase as rap idly as the population of the nation. Behind the million farmers and ranchers today, are some 7 million workers who pro duce the equipment and sup plies for and who service farmers, and another 11 mil lion who process and distrib ute farm food and fiber products-meat and poultry pack ing, dairy processing, food processing, textiles and fibers. In addition, a half million scientists directly and indi rectly serve agriculture-research in feeds, plant and animal growth, better food products. Recent surveys show that some 15,000 new college grad uates with agricultural train ing are needed each year now for agficultural-type jobs. This year, less than half that number-about 7,000-will grad uate from the nations' 60 land grant colleges, Cooney point ed out. OSC will graduate about 175 students in agricul ture this June. ANIMALS PERIL DRIVERS New York - (UPD - Animals caused more accidents on the New York State Thruway than any other single cause. State police traffic supervisor Capt. Robert V. Annett told a safety meeting here that 646 accidents were caused by deer running across the road and 205 by dogs. The average American dog ate $13.46 worth of commer cial dog food in 1957.

Medford, Oregon BALERS FOR DOW WSX, GRASS, AND BRUSH KILLERS these operators show an av erage net return per cow of S133. This was the same in the 1957 year and $3.00 more than in 1956. While these fig ures by themselves may not be of importance, we are con cerned when one operator shows a net return of S220 per cow and another of $105. Must Consider Factors "We realize that a number of factors must be considered in looking at each operation, but we can assume there may be a definite need for im proved management practices for those having lower re turns. These are considered as a part of analyzing the rec ords and better management practices and must be includ ed as part of the farm plan ning process." In looking over the records of a number of operations, Denney added, it is increas ingly evident that sound man agement along with a good volume, is needed for a suc cessful farming program. The success of the dairy farmers is important to the business economy of this area. The av erage operator spent $18,413 in his community last year. The local Farmers Home Administration office located in the Manchel Building serv ices both Jackson and Jose phine counties. Two Freight Rate Raises Held Up By Lime Group Salem - Oregon limestone users have gained a partial victory in their request for lower freight rates from east ern and southern Oregon supplies, said Paul T. Rowell, market development chief for the state department of agri culture. ; ' He pointed out that recent rail rate reductions on lime did not bring substantial im mediate changes. But the 1956 request of the Oregon Agri cultural Lime association for reduced freight rates did serve to hold up two general freight rate increases on lime during the IVz years the mat ter has been before the Or egon public utilities commis sioner. Rowell said that when the PUC decided the case recent ly, it allowed a rail freight reduction of around $1 per ton oh single cars and 20 cents per ton on five-car lots. At the same time, it permit ted the two general freight rate increases, help up during this investigation, to go into effect. Standoff Results The net result is pretty close to a standoff on any increase in rates over that prevailing in 1956, despite the dual angle of reduction and general increase contain ed in the final order. Both Oregon State college and the state department of agriculture supported the lime association in its efforts to reduce costs of limestone to western Oregon farmers. The college pointed to the need for limestone on soils growing legumes and many other crops. The department of agriculture showed, through a special study made for it by the freight rate service branch of USDA, that freight rate costs on lime in. Oregon were out of line with lower rates in other parts of the country. . At the hearings, testimony showed that western Oregon farmers need at least five times as much lime as the approximately 5 0,000 tons now used annually. i GRASS MLLtR j FARM NOTES United Press International Washington (LTD Two big farm organizations now find themselves on opposite sides on the subject of direct pay ment price supports for farmers. The National Farmers Union favors firect support while the American Farm Bu reau federation opposes the plan. A House agriculture subcommittee is holding hear ings on direct payment sup ports for cotton. Washington (UPD Two Sen ate Democrats today were re ported preparing to introduce a new food stamp bill provid ing 600 million dollars a year to supplement the diets of needy Americans. Food stamps distributed under the bill would go to people on public assistance rolls and to the unemployed. Everyone eligible for help under the bill could get So worth of stamps each month to use in grocery stores for purchase for foods designated by the secretary of health, education and welfare. Washington (UPD An Agri culture Department scientist says animal shelters can re duce the danger from radio active fallout in case of nu clear attack. Dr. Frank Todd Monday told an Animal Health Insti tute meeting that any kind of shelter will give animals some protection from radiation. Washington-(UPD-The Census Bureau has changed its defi nition of a farm. In 1950 and 1954, the Cen sus Bureau classified as farms a number of places as small as three acres. In the new cen sus, no place of less than 10 acres will be classed as a farm unless it has agricultural pro duction of at least $250 a year. Washington -(0PD-The Agri culture Department reported today that net . margins for milk distributors in 1958 fell to 33 cents per 100 pounds of milk and cream, the lowest since" 1951. " Washington (DPD Agricul ture Secretary Ezra T. Benson has called on businessmen, taxpayers, and consumers to help him fight the present farm price support program. The agriculture secretary said farmers favor his pro gram. But he said other peo ple should join the fight to put it across including business men, taxpayers, housewives, and persons interested in a sound economy. Washington (UPD Spring vegetable production this year is expected to total about the same as last year and slightly above average, the Agricul ture Department reports. - Crops with substantially smaller production than last year are tomatoes, onions, cu cumbers, and snap beans, the department said. Less sweet corn, green peppers, beets, and eggplant also are forecast. These reductions are partly offset by a large increase in celery. More lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, green peas, carrots, and shal lots are expected. Washington-(DPD-The Eisen hower Administration's policy of cutting farm price supports has not checked the rise in consumer food prices, accord ing to a Democratic leader of the House farm bloc. "We were eating cheaper back when farm support prices were higher," Rep. W. R. Poage (D-Tex.) told Assist ant Agriculture Secretary Marvin L. McLain Wednesday at a House agriculture sub committee hearing on peanut supports. ' Washington-UPD-The Senate has okayed a. bill to strip Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson of his authority to veto decisions of the Rural Electrification Administrator. The measure was approved Wednesday by a 60 to 27 vote. The Senate rejected 74 to 13 a substitute that would have made the Rural Electrification Administration an independ ent governmental agency. Washington -(UPD The Agri culture department said today farm wage rates on April 1 were the highest on record for that date, and the farm em ployment in March was 3 per cent above that of a year ago. The composite wage rate per hour for April 1 was 71.8 cents, 9 per cent above the April 1, 1958, rate of 65.7 cents. The department .said the increase appeared to re flect a strong demand for reg ular and reliable workers on the increasingly important commercial farms which may enlarge operations somewhat in 1959. Washington (UPD The agri culture department said today U. S. farm exports last year totaled $3,856,000,000, 14 per cent below the record 1957 figure of $4,505,000,000. More than half the drop was caused by a decrease in cot- Bill Hubbard As Leading 4 Eighteen-year - old, Eagle Point high school senior Bill Hubbard is the March 4-H club boy of the month. He is is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Will R. Hubbard, Eagle Point, and the brother of Georgia, Bob and Jim Hubbard. Bill has completed seven years of 4-H club work. His main project has been dairy- ton exports. Exports of wheat, rice, livestock products, vege table oils and oilseeds also de clined. Increases occurred in feed grains, fruits and vege tables. Tobacco exports were practically unchanged. Washington (DPD The Eisen hower Administration's policy of cutting farm price supports has not checked the rise in consumer food prices, accord ing to a Democratic leader of the House farm bloc. Washington -(UPD- 'Agricul ture Secretary Ezra T. Ben son today urged widespread participation in rural life Sun day May 3. Rural churches traditionally set aside the fifth Sunday aft er Easter to emphasize the spiritual values of rural liv ing. ' Washington -(UPD- The agri culture department today named Hollis R. Williams to be Assistant Administrator of the Soil Conservation service. He will direct the agency's work in watershed develop ment, flood prevention, and river basin studies. Williams had been the ser vice's field representative for Southeastern states. He will be replaced In that post by Harvey Bobst, Lincoln, Neb., state conservationist for Ne braska since 1954. Washington -(UPD- The Agri-. culture Department announc ed . Thursday night that it bought 517,000 pounds of dried eggs this week for the school lunch program, the nor mal level. Last week the department bought one million pounds of dried eggs, double the usual amount, after a Democratic senator called for action to help the sagging egg market. Washington -(UPD- Farmers stand to make Jess money from their hogs this year than they did vin 1958 because of fluctuations' in the relative price of corn, the key live stock feed. The hog-corn price ratio in March averaged 13.4, accord ing to the Agriculture De partment's Livestock Market News service. This means that 100 pounds of live hog was equal in value to 13.4 bushels of corn. In March, 1958, .the ratio was 18.2. Washington -(UPD-Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-S.C.) said to day he may open an investi gation of the agriculture de partment's operations later this spring. Other Senate Democrats have been trying for several months to get support of Dem ocratic leaders for an investi gation of agriculture depart ment operations. Washington (UPD Assistant Agriculture Secretary Marvin McLain said Tuesday night grocery, processors need to do a better job of public rela tions. . He told a meeting of the Agricultural Advisory Com mittee of the Grocery Manu facturers of America that they need to explain to farmers and consumers why grocery prices go up while farm prices go down. Washington-(UPD-The Amer ican Feed Manufacturers asso ciation and the Animal Health Institute today opened a joint nationwide campaign to con vince farmers that medicated and scientifically-mixed feeds can't do the whole job of pro ducing livestock. ! The two groups reported they were going to re-emphasize the important role of good sanitation and management practices in efficient produc tion of livestock and poultry.

Bill for seven years has helped his dad milk their herd morning and night, except the last two year. Then sports have taken up much of his time. He says that he is looking forward to going to Oregon State college this fall. There he may take Dairy Tech nology. His other 4-H projects have been swine, camp cook ery and junior leadership. During his seven years of club work, he has won various awards such as the A. T. Lathrop swine award. A Berk shire gilt was given him also as the outsanding exhibitor of Berkshire hogs in his first year. Twice he was winner of the Jackson County Guernsey Cattle club award as an out standing exhibitor of Guern sey cattle. For two years he has been on the Jackson coun ty dairy judging team which has represented Jackson coun ty at state fair. Also, in 1956 Bill won the county award in dairy. In 1958 he won the county boy's agriculture award. Junior Leader Last year and this year, Bill has been a junior leader of the Antelope dairy club. He also held the office of presi dent and vice president of the club. Besides 4-H club work, he has been active in other club and school activities. He has been secretary and is' the present vice-president of the Eagle Future Farmers of America chapter, and is the secretary of the F.F.A. district. Last year he was one of the delegates chosen to attend the National F.F.A. convention in Kansas City. He is senior class vice presi dent, president of the Letter man's club, captain of the varsity basketball team, mem ber of the varsity football squad, and was county judge during the recent student gov ernment day. Bill feels 4-H work has done much to help him overcome his lack of self confidence and to help him meet people more easily. By attending 4-H sum mer school at Corvallis, state fair and local fairs, he has made many friends, Bill de clares. - " . He attributes his successful club work to his club leaders and to. his parents for all their helpa intsructions and lots of "push" which he says was needed many times. Waiting Stockmen Schedule Tests Salem-A number of cattle men who waited for the su preme court decision on the Oregon brucellosis law before testing their herds are now scheduling testing for Bang's disease. .. This cooperation strength ens the program to achieve state wide certification by June 30, declares Fred L. Pope, animal division chief for the state department of agriculture. . He says the department and the cooperating federal offic ials anticipate that the re maining cattlemen who have delayed testing will arrange testing dates before the end of this month. "Time is short and we earnestly solicit the coopera tion of every stockman to reach the June 30 goal," says Pope, ' who adds: "only by united effort now will we have the state from default ing on the tremendous effort that has thus far gone into this program to meet the target date." Klamath Falls -UPD- About one-fourth of the students at Klamath Falls high school re mained at home Wednesday because of a flue epidemic, ac cording to Dr. S. M. Kerron, county health officer. About 400 students were affected. There aft between 1500 and 1600 students in the high school. T f If 1 weive new ipraj In West Oregon Salem - Twelve new appli cants, including 10 ground sprayers, for a state license to apply agricultural herbi cides took examinations at the recent series of weed meetings in western Oregon. A record attendance of 426 sprayers attended the eight sessions conducted jointly by the state department of agri culture, state highway depart ment, and extension service. Mark H. Astrup, landscape engineer with the highway department, told the group that brush and weed" control along highway right-of-ways this year is geared to a fast killdown to preserve roadside beauty for Centennial visit ors. Without this quick and selective killing the spray operations would leave un sightly brown foliage in some areas. Several speakers empha sized the importance of prop er spraying practices and good equipment. Rex Warren of the extension service urged upon sprayers the importance of knowing their materials, calibration of their equipment and of following directions for use of a given material. Ray Kelso, herbicide con trol supervisor with the state department of agriculture, re viewed the spray damage re ported last year and said that 30 claims had been made against 14 ' operators, six of whom were unlicensed. Kelso discussed each claim to show what the operator could and should have done to avoid damage. The weed sessions were held' in Gresham, Hillsboro, Tillamook, Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Medford and Klam ath Falls. Highest attendance at any meeting was 75 men at Eugene. The 1959 attendance represented a 20 per cent in crease over the similar series in western Oregon two years ago. Must Register Bee Colonies Ken Goeden was visiting the valley earlier this week and would like to remind all bee keepers that the State Depart ment of Agriculture requires reigstration of all colonies in Oregon, it was reported. A small registration fee is required and is determined by the number of colonies each bee'-.eeper owns. Further information can be obtained by contacting Mr. Goeden at the state agriculture building, Salem, or the local county agent's office. Goeden further stated that he is in the process of trying to locate a local inspector and anyone who would be interest ed could contact him at the above address. Mitchell Argues Migrant Laws Washington -(UPD- Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell apparently has won a partial victory in an intra-adminis-tration battle over federal standards on wages and work ing conditions of migratory farm workers. The labor department has drafted tentative regulations designed to increase pay and improve housing and trans portation for. migrants. This has brought protests from leading farm organizations. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson has opposed the plan in principle. Mitchell wants to bar farm ers from using the facilities of the U. S. Employment Serv ice to obtain migrant workers if they do not meet federal standards on wages, housing and transportation. The regulations, if put into effect, would affect from 250, 000 to 300,000 migrant work ers who move from state to state MODERN ARTIFICIAL BREEDING with FROZEN SEMEN FROM AMERICAN BREEDERS' SERVICE ROGUE VALLEY PROVED SIRE SERVICE CHIT By JOE COWLEY Mail Tribune Farm Editor "Come, come to the church in the wildwood" is the be ginning line of one of our favorite hymns. It makes us think of the firm, nostalgic influence of the small country church on people living around it. Sunday, May 3 has been designated the day to note the influence of the country church on rural living. A fancier name is "Rural Life Sunday." We mention this a trifle early hoping our pastor and others of the Rogue valley will base their sermons on this theme and perhaps the various congregations will give this special day a boost with some sort of observance. Two modern Jrends are now working their influence on the crossroads church. Ministers sent to these smaller places of worship no longer are, on the whole, starting at the bottom and working their way up. Many of them are considered just as good as the ministers of the big city churches. They have received the same basic education. Often they like rural life and the more relaxed type of living. They intend to stay. The other influence or trend - is economic. Modern, fast transportation tends to draw people to the city even for church. The small rural church may exist in a comparatively poor community. People often settle in the little rural com munities because living is cheaper. So church collections are low. At least one such church in the valley is having a tough time meeting its building fund. Of course, the growing trend toward suburban living may change this situation. This is just beginning to affect western areas. Back east people have spent and are spending con siderable money and time restoring the quaint small town New England churches to their original grace. High school and college age youngsters of even the more exclusive schools join in "hymn sings." These people are taking a renewed interest and pride in their small churches. We hope this idea continues to spread. It already has taken root in some small Rogue valley communities. Much of what is good in rural living should naturally center around the church. As you have noticed the meat cutters of this area are asking for substantial wage increases. The beef industry is pushing for greater consumption of its product. At the same time it is fighting in this state to at least slow down the en roachment of mid-west meat products through cheaper freight rates from that direction. Is this move inclined to be harm ful to the industry We don't know. Just wondering. The movement for more equitable milk prices for pro ducers seems to have slowed temporarily. However, a re liable source, tells us that things are due to pick up toward the tail end of this month. Dry pastures put many herds in the state on feed early last fall. According to water supply reports spring and summer pasture conditions may not be much better unless rainfall keeps them greened up. Meanwhile, here are a few dairy trends based on the Oregon monthly dairy report from the college - Oregon's milk output in March was 89 million pounds or two per cent less than the same month a year ago. Throughout the county production was totalled at 10,667 million pounds or one per cent less than a year earlier. uneese production during ebruary was up three per cent from the previous February, but was nine per cent less than the 1953-57 five-year February average. Creamery butter production was down six per cent from a year ago and two per cent below the five-year average. Ice cream production, however, was 10 per cent above a year ago and 12 percent higher than the five-year average. Main source of the dairy man s income is from milk products, however. Oregon dairymen are hit also with higher feed and hay prices. For mid-march feed prices averaged 5 cents more per hundredweight than a year earlier for 16 per cent dairy feed. Cottonseed meal costs 80 cents per hundredweight more with most items being 10 cents to 25 cents per hundredweight higher. Farmers also paid $35 per ton for baled alfalfa hay which was up $3.50 from a year ago. Wheat feed prices were down 35 cents per hundredweight from a year ago. Oregon producers received an average of $5.45 per hun dredweight for grade "A" milk sold during February, 10 cents less than the previous month and 5 cents below Febru ary, 19o8. Manufacturing milk averaged Sa.oo per hundred weight,' 20 cents less than January and 15 cents less than a year earlier. Butterfat in cream at 60 cents per pound can be compared with 60 cents a month earlier and 61 cents a year earlier. Portland dealers' buying price in early April I was $5.71 per hundredweight I the bottle and can. Those people who like a dish of spring strawberries on their table may have to pay a slightly higher price. Straw berry growers in the mid-spring states such as California will have a smaller acreage for harvest, according to the OSC market estimates. Total acreage for the mid-spring crop is estimated at 14 per cent less than last year. California has a 22 per cent smaller acreage this year. Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee are included in this decided downward revi sion. Arkansas shows only a moderate reduction. Apply Fertilizer Now The next ' few weeks is a good time to apply fertilizer to lawns. Fertilizing will not only maintain a healthy, vig orous lawn but also helps the grass to resist invasions by disease, weeds, moss, as well as mushrooms and toadstools, according to Don Berry, coun ty agent. Lawn grass starts growing as the warm weather ap proaches in the early spring. As the rate of growth in creases, more plant food is required, therefore the spring application is very important The Most Breeds We've Ever Offered The Best Choice Within Breeds The Highest Conception Rates for prompt, efficient service call ... SP 2-4093 C. C. Williams CHAT - not the manufactured dairy for 3.8 per cent milk used in To Lawns but later applications in the summer and fall are also bene ficial. Nitrogen is the most im portant plant food for keep ing growth vigorous and good green color. Applying one pound of sulphate of am monia or other nitrogen fer tilizers per 100 square feet is a recommended practice. Ap plication should be made when grass is dry and follow ed by a heavy drenching with water. Subsequent waterings are necessary if it fails to rain.

Estimated daily gallonage is: pasteurized, 185,611 and raw, 7,711 for a total of 193,322 gallons. In a further breakdown of the raw milk, Kenneth E. Carl, in charge of the de partment's dairy sanitation program, says grade A raw dairies account for an esti mated 5,397 gallons daily and grade B (so-called jug dai ries) 2.314 gallons. In 1958, the department li censed 807 fluid milk pro ducers; 84 grade A producer distributors, 91 grade B producer-distributors; 83 distrib utors; and 18 non-processing distributors. The non-processing group sells under their labels milk bottled by others. The department also li censed 386 retail and 66 wholesale ice cream manu facturers; 94 dairy products manufacturing plants, 26 of which were fluid milk proces sors; 38 pasteurizer oper ators, six milk graders, five cream graders, two butter makers and one cheese maker. Plant equipment operators are licensed for life, unless the license is revoked for cause. Warnings Issued In the fluid milk sanitation field, the state issued warn ing notices on violations to 200 producers, 134 producer distributors and 55 distrib- P-Ds and three distributors were suspended until compli ance was reached. Violation warnings were is sued to nine ice cream whole salers and 24 retailers. Main causes for all warning slips were excessixe bacteria, in sanitary conditions or low butterfat. Carl says the department made more than 4200 inspec tions at dairy farms, distrib uting and manufacturing plants in addition to its an nual check of dairy farms and milk plants supplying Astoria, Eugene, Medford and Portland which are under city inspection. In quality control work, dairy inspectors condemned 507 cans of the 19,424 cans of manufacturing milk tested for sediment; 12. cans of the 851 manufacturing cream tested; and 11 cans of fluid milk. Twenty-one cans of 1340 cans of cream grade-checked were condemned. In the laboratories, the de partment made 22,805 analy ses of fluid milk samples!; 3,856 of ice creams and mel lorines; 32 of butter; 394 of cottage dheese; and 1,003 of water sources of dairies. 10 Stales Ship Cattle to Yard Salem-A fraction less than 50 per cent of the cattle mov ing through the North Port land stockyards last year originated in Oregon, accord ing to records of the state department of agriculture. .Washington accounted fcs 28 per cent of the cattle and Canada for 12 per cent. Mon- tant. with 5 per cent, was third on the import list and Idaho was fourth with just under 4 per cent. Other states from which cattle originated were Wyom ing, Utah, California, Ari zona, Wisconsin, North Da kota and Nebraska - in de scending order.
