This job can now be turned over to an extra-safe, easy-to-use iiniticide called Kelthane. Last year, many orchards had full-season control with only one application of Kelthane. An ideal time torclean out a mite potential is in the first cover spray. To clean out the tops of trees where spray rigs may. not give good coverage, a Kelthane 3 percent dust is effective. YouH like the safety and long-residual action of Kelthane . . . plus its ability to control all species of mites which attack pears with a minimum number of applications. Ask your supplier for Kelthane now. Kzlthaxs tnfamofk, Seg US- fot. LTHKN fey It's Kind of Movement That Alarms Animals - Woodsmen, hunters, bird watchers, as well as all the people who walk the wood land trails, have always main tained that the way to escape detection by the animals being stalked was to remain perfect ly still - "without moving a muscle." We have mostly be lieved it was movement that caught the animal's eye and alarmed It. . But every animal, in its natural environment, is con stantly ' in the near presence of moving objects. The leaves of a tree are rarely still. Tree branches, even the tree itself, is in motion. Weeds and grass stems are forever twitching, quivering or swaying. v Even the movement of over head clouds must form a part of the ever moving environ ment in which it lives. Shad- Chemicals for Agricutturt noua s Haas COMPANY WASHINGTON SQUAM, PHRADHMHA 5, PA. Qff. td m yiadfolfmiff comntrOt, Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins ows of animals in motion, or of anything else, form part of the pattern of the ever mov ing scene. . . It Adjusts Being carefully adjusted to the environment in which it lives an animal adjusts itself to those conditions; things that are in-some degree of move ment. Therefore it is logical to suppose it is the kind of move ment that sends the miasma of alarm through the conscious ness of the wild creatures. The way an object moves; its mo tion, rather than its move ment, alerts the creatures. Analyzing the natural movement, of a human we usually can see part of the reason. A man walking, run ning or even waving his arms or weaving his body, is in jerky, irregular motion. It is not the swaying rhythm of branches or weeds, the un jdulating flow of grass, the steady march of clouds - but a series of jerks. Show Bee-Keeperi The bee-keeper, hiving his little honey-makers, does not move fast or in sudden jerks but with a deliberate, flowr ing motion. Should he move fast, jerk or jump, he would promptly be stung. There is no such a thing as a tame bee. There is no such thing as a "bee who knows the keeper." The man does not get stung because he has trained him self how to move. It is reasonable to suppose that any animal, insect, fish, bird or reptile takes alarm at the kind of motion rather than just movement, for there are but few living things in all the world who can ever hope to live in an environment where all the surroundings are perfectly motionless. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959) Berry Growers May Spray for Problems Home berry growers who have had trouble with the red berry problem should spray when new shoots are from two inches to eight inches long, Don Berry, county extension agent for horticulture, said today. ' Red berry is a common problem in blackberries, both Evergreen and Himalaya, and other commercial types. It is caused by a tiny mite which builds up and prevents the berry from maturing properly. Liquid lime sulfur, 8 gal lons to 100 gallons of water, or 12 pounds Polysulphide per hundred, is the recommended practice in commercial orch ards, Berry said. Home gard eners should use one quart liquid lime sulfur in three gal lons of water or one pound dry lime sulfur in three gal lons of water. Two applications of dust ing sulfur as a substitute for the lime sulfur spray is some times used. The first dust is applied as the first blooms open, with a second applica tion about 10 days later, he added. Home owners are caution ed not to use lime sulfur on boysenberries or loganbrries as the. spray is generally not necessary on them, and if used during hot weather may cause burning and leaf drop.

Soil, one of our basic' re sources, along with water, crops, and minerals is the foundation of our economy and way of life. Soil con servation is particularly im portant to people of Oregon because our new wealth each year stems almost entirely from agricultural and forest production-both directly de pendent on the soil. Oregon's 61,664,000 acres are used for nearly every crop grown in the temperate sections of the world. Local Man Held on Bad Check Charges Charles Palmer Dunlap, 52, of Holland hotel, 109 West Sixth st., was held in Jackson county jail on $1,500 bait to day on a charge of "drawing a bank check with insuffic ient funds in bank to pay same in full," Medford police reported.

Your authorized Chevrolet dealer will show you why the best seller's your best buy! To properly understand the problems and possibilities of soil conservation in Oregon, we should first have an under standing of soil, its impor tance to the farmer, the com munity, and the entire na tion. Many of us are inclined to think only of the crops that are produced, giving little thought to the soil itself. We must realize that every living thing on the land is depend ent upon the production that comes from the soil. The pro ductiveness of this soil de pends largely on the manage ment and care on the part of the individual landowner. Agriculture, as an industry in Oregon, has been in exist ence for more than a century. While this country is compara tively young compared to other agricultural areas of the world, the strain of continued production is already begin ning to show. Soil surveys of the grain lands of the Columbia Basin indicate that over 40 per. cent of the cropland has lost 25 per cent of the surface soil and that over 5 per cent has lost ovep J 5 per cent of the surface soil by wind and wa ter erosion. Other parts of the state have similar stories of ero sion along rivers and stream banks, formation of gullies on range and forest lands, and depletion of soil fertility through the loss of valuable plant nutrients. More frequent floods, high er flood crests, and greater flood damages are among the unwanted by-products of soil COUBIES V MEDFORD erosion. Silt and sediment pour into stream channels, harbors, and reservoirs to re duce their carrying and stor age capacity. At the same time erosion is increasing the cost of maintaining highways and railroads. Wildlife food and cover are destroyed and fish die in silt laden waters. Take Action Landowners thro ughout Oregon, by groups and indi vidually, are taking action to reduce soil losses and make even better use of their soil and related resources.
