Aphid Spray Due For Yard Plants
The curled and rolled
leaves on the backyard plum
trees is due' to aphids.- These
insects appear early in the
year and while feeding on the!
leaves have a poisoning affect
which causes the leaves to
roll and curl, according to
Don Berry, county agent.
Leaves which are already
rolled cannot be corrected by
spraying, however if aphids
are not cleaned up as new
leaves appear they will - be
come infected. .
Spraying the tree thorough
ly with a Malathion solution
arid repeating , this spray in
about 10 days will generally
give aphid control.
. Aphid populations-are high
on many of the ornamental
trees and shrubs this spring,
and they will continue to
cause trouble until the hot
weather dissipates them ui
the middle of the summer.
Repeated sprays now with
Malathion will go a long way
towards keeping your back
yard plants insect free during
this critical period.

of Agriculture Ezra T.
Benson said recently agricul
ture is burdened with too
much government, too much
politics, and too little common
sense.
"The economics of the farm
problem are simple," Benson
said. "We need less govern
ment in farming. We must
quit trying to fix prices un-
realistically. We must empha
size markets, increased .effici
ency, and competitive selling.

Hospitals Testing "
Medical Technique
' Denver - (UPD - Several hos
pitals across the country are
testing a new medical techni
que for killing isolated can
cers with poison.'
The technique was describ
ed by Dr. J. J. Griffitts, Miami
blood specialist, during a re
cent post-graduate course at
the University of Colorado
School of Medicine.
Griffitts described the meth
od this way: If a cancer or
tumor is located in a patient's
arm or leg or an organ, and
hasn't spread into the system,
his blood can be routed around
the cancer, which is then
treated with a profusion of
poisons which may kill the
growth.
Griffitts said the potential
of the cancer treatment tech
nique is "great," on the basis
of initial tests.
Legacy Entertains
Attorney's Friends
Niagara Falls, N.Y.-tDPD-Fourteen
friends of the late
Edward F. Mahoney enjoyed
a dinner and a day at the
races on money left by the
Niagara Falls attorney in his
will.
The strange legacy had its
origin in a luncheon "round
table" of lawyers that includ
ed Mahoney, a bachelor. This
friendship meant so much to
the attorney that he bequeath
ed $100 each to the "round
table regulars."
His will also provided a
lump sum of $800 which the
goup was to spend on a
"good time." Half of it was
for an affair to include "wives
and otherwise," $200 for a
"lawyer's picnic" and $200
for a stag party.
Mahoney spent this $200 on
a dinner and an afternoon
at the races.

18 Inches of Hail
Paralyzes Town
Selden, Kan. (DPD -Eighteen
inches of hail isolated and
paralyzed this small north
western Kansas town for. sev
eral hours Wednesday night.
National Guard troops were
called out and the highway
patrol asked for all available
highway department person
nel to man snow plows to
clear the ice. Some drifts
were three feet deep.
There were no injuries but
roofs of many homes and busi
ness places caved in under
the weight of the ice. Base
ments of residential and com
mercial establishments were
flooded. . .
The hail struck during a
thunderstorm in an area about
five miles square with Selden
in the center. It hailed for
nearly two . hours straight.
The hailstones were about
marble size.

Acid soils like those in the Rogue River

When it comes to protecting trees f rom , the harmful effects of

SEEDLING PINE - This young pine tree is one of a num
ber of young treesr including Douglas fir, being raised on
the Jay Eatherton farm on Dark Hollow rd. Weeds have
been allowed to grow near the young trees on the steep
hillside to prevent erosion. The ground around the tree has
been carefully "scalped" to allow the tree growing room.
Farm wood lots are becoming' more popular in Jackson
county. Those interested may call Jack Mace, service

M
Bakery, Produce
Laws Amended
Note: This is the third
of a series prepared by the
state department of agri
culture on 1959 legislation
it will administer.)
Consumers will become ac
quainted with a third stand
ard bread loaf after Aug. 5
when amendments to the Ore
gon bakery law become effec
tive. This will be the standard
extra large loaf weighing be
tween 1 pound, 14 ounces and
2 pounds, 2 ounces.
The other two bread loaves
and their weight range: stand
ard, at least 15 ounces and not
over 17 ounces;, standard
large, 'at least 1 pound, 6V2
ounces and not over 1 pound,
9Vz ounces. '
The law on 'bread pan sizes
was repealed, but the depart
ment may regulate pan sizes,
in so doing it, must take into
consideration, among other
things, (1) measures to pro
tect the consumer from de
ception in shape, sizes, con
tents or value of loaves of
bread and (2) sizes reason
ably necessary to insure con
tinued fair trade practices in
bread baking.
Produce Dealers
..Changes in the produce
dealer's act will bring all re
tail produce peddlers, includ
ing roadside operations, un
der this licensing act. In a
second change, al wholesale
produce dealers are required
to carry a $2,000 performance
bond, which" those now li
censed are directed to file
with the department 30 days
after the law becomes effec
tive on Aug. 5.
Also, into the produce pic
ture comes a new term-the
cash buyer. No bond will be
required of him, but he must
pay the $50 license fee and
keep a record of his transac
tions with growers much the
same as is already required
of wholesale dealers.
Under the 195& law, .wal
nuts and filberts no longer
come under the definition of
produce. -Fertilizers
as a result 01 permission
written into the amendments
to the fertilizer law, the state
department of agriculture will
be in a position to reduce the
10 cent per ton inspection fee
as soon as possible after Aug.
5. Fertilizer usage has in
creased so much since 1951
when the fee was established
by- law that this fund has a
comfortable surplus. Now the
director of agriculture may
adjust as needed within the
10-cent top. ..'...
Also, with assistance of the
experiment station . at , the
state college and after a pubr
lie hearing, the department
may determine what minor
elements in fertilizers may be
guaranteed to users. Up to this
point, guarantees have been
authorized only for nitrogen,
phosphorous and potash con
tent of fertilizers.
Copies of these laws are
available from the state de
partment' of agriculture, Sa
