Mc Kil lop are grandparents of a granddaughter born Aug. 2 to Agriculture Sag In State Arouses Plea for Scrutiny Corvallis (UPB - The sagging condition of agriculture in Oregon may come under care ful scrutiny in the near future. Oregon State college has been requested to launch an investigation of the state's ag riculture situation. The Ore gon State Farmers union, in a letter to OSC President A. L. Strand, urged that the college embark upon a study at "the earliest possible date." H. D. Rolph Sr., state presi dent, said the Farmers union is "much concerned over the depressed condition" of Ore gon agriculture. "Despite this situation," Rolph said, "we have not heard of any studies being un dertaken by federal or state agencies into the causes of the depression, or recommended remedies." " , Overproduction in some areas was blamed for the "se rious condition" of agriculture in Oregon. However, Rolph said, overproduction has not hampered the dairy and poul try industries in the state. State Director of Agricul ture Frank McKennon agreed with the Farmers union. "The farmers are definitely in a price squeeze," he said: "Any studies that produce a solution would be wonderful." Mr. and Mrs. Lester Namifz (Susie) of Sweet Home, Ore. She has been named Tracy Gaye. . 0 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Naming of Some Things Gets Pretty Confusing It's very logical that we get olive oil from olives, grape juice from grapes, tomato juice from tomatoes, or orange juice from oranges. But il logically, we do not get ban ana oil from bananas or onion oil from onions. Of course banana oil does have the odor and taste of ripe bananas, but actually it is an artificial product used com monly in solvents" or as a fla vor. Chemically the same is true of onion oil. It, too, is a synthetic, but it smells as if it has been extracted from crushed onions. Color of Blood It is pretty common knowl edge that it is "impossible to get blood' from a turnip," but the juice of the beet, naturally called beet juice, is the color of blood. There the similarity ends. Pure vanilla comes from a pod that grows on a vanilla vine, ; but the "vanilla" you get in ice creams, cakes or cookies pur chased in the store is not vanilla at all. It is just a flavor made in a factory or laboratory. There are . some startling contraditions in the naming of many common things that get rather confusing. A ridicu lous example of this mis-naming process is the tropical fruit, the avocado. We call them "alligator pears." They have absolutely no connection either with pears or alligators, except that some varieties are slightly pear-shaped. But the "alligator" part of the name seems ill advised and mean ingless - about as impossible as "crocodile tears." No reptile of ; this order was ever emo tionally upset to the point of shedding tears. . Vitamins From Test Tubes There are many valuable vitamins contained in the liv ers of the codfish, but today these same vitamins can be produced in a test tube - vita mins that never developed in an ocean fish, but we often call this "cod liver oil." Everyone who has ever polished his own shoes, treat ed a leather belt or a leather wrist-watch strop or a purse, has probably used neat's foot oil. Perhaps you may have wondered where neat's foot oil comes from. Peculiarly enough, we "get it from the neat, and you'd be surprised to learn the identity of this ani mal even though you have seen hundreds of them. By some wild wrenching of word twisting, a neat is a bovine member of the animal world, just another little-used word for cattle. So neat's foot oil is a pale yellow oil made by boiling the feet and shin bones of cattle and sold as well as used by just "about everybody who polishes his shoes or softens a leather belt. Legical, too, that the neat, which means one cow or a whole herd of cattle, lives in a neat house, and belongs to a neat herd. Confusing, isn't it? . MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford', Or.
