FFA May Buy Farm Equipment ingle Polnt-T he Eagle Point FFA chapter is plan nlng to buy a tractor and equipment for chapter farm work, according to Nat Etzel, chapter adviser and vocation al agriculture Instructor. During the next two weeks chapter members, the adviser, vo-ag advisory board and Eagle Point school district di rectors will watch demonstra tions of equipment and re ceive bids from firms who have been contacted by let ter, Etzel said. The chapter is planning to buy a two-plow four wheel or utility type of tractor, a six foot haymower, two 12-inch plows, seven foot tandem disc harrow and terracing blade, "We want the four wheel or utility type of tractor since we think it is safer for the boys to operate. It won't tip over as easily as the tricycle type, or one with two small wheels in front and two large wheels in back," Etzel ex plained. Wednesday, I n ternational Harvester equipment will be demonstrated before four classes of vo-ag students, the instructor said. Advisory Board Members of the vo-ag ad visory board are Don Geren, Bill Hubbard, John Reid, Gor don Stanley, Irwin Ross and Don Anderson. School board members are Ray Tresham, chairman; Elmer Harnish, Jack Caldwell, John Reid, Darrel Stanley, Mabel Han sen, and Edward Strother. Eagle Point chapter mem bers attending the Illinois Val ley FFA banquet Saturday were Madison Patrick, chap ter president, and Steve Ger en, chapter treasurer. Etzel said he and two chapter mem bers will probably attend the Grants Pass FFA banquet on April 7. To Sell Plants Current chapter money making project is raising and selling cabbage, hybrid toma toes and peppers, Etzel said. The chapter raises and retails or wholesales about 200 doz en ot these plants each soring The chanter members started the project last February by planting seeds in a cold This Is considered one of our better projects, Etzel said, since the boys learn how seeds germinate, about fertilization, soil sterilization, use of soil fumigants, insec ticides, irrigation, transplant ing and frame management, plus some marketing. Some of the plants are wholesaled to some ot the Eagle Point feed stores, Etzel said. E. P. Chapter Plans Banquet Eagle Point - TheEsgle Point FFA chapter's parents- son banquet win be nem probably around the first of May, according to Nat Etzle, chapter adviser and Eagle Point high school vocational agriculture instructor. Definite setting of the date is awaiting arrangements for a main speaker, Etzel explain ed. Program will be kept to a minimum. David Foote, Cra ter chapter member and new state FFA reporter, will speak. Awards which will be pre sented include foundation awards for star farmer, soil and water, farm mechanics, dairy farmer, farm and home electrification, public speak ing and farm safety award. Also, two of last year's fresh men will receive saieway Stores Inc. Initial green hand award. The star farmer award Is based on FFA chapter activ. ities participated in, size and quality of project, and schol-: arship, The soil and water awards are given according to what a student learned of the conservation principles and how ha has put them into effect. The shop award is giv en according to what has been done in the school shop, on the home and farm by way of construction and repair of farm equipment. The dairy farmer award goes to the chapter member with the largest project. Each year the Safeway stores present a $10 check for first place and ?5 check for frame.

Year's RHIA Cows Listed; Rogue Valley Herd Tops Dogwood Borer Stock Discovered In Imports Salem - Oregon nursery in spectors are still picking up dogwood borers on dogwood stock coming into Oregon. As a result, all dogwood the state inspects is fumigated here be fore released for planting or sale. Hugh Taylor, plant division chief for the state department of agriculture, says a ship ment which recently arrived from Tennessee, where it had been fumigated, was not cleared by Oregon Inspectors until re-fumigation. Oregon officials are con sulting with Tennessee offi cials on fumigation proce dures acceptable here.

Look to Future Growth in Plants When Planning Home Landscaping Corvallis - In landscaping your home, look ahead to the future; consider sun or shade requirements of plants; pick those that suit your likes, home and location; and don't hesitate to be different. That's the advice to home owners from George Fredeen, assistant professor of land scape architecture at Oregon State college. Fredeen has conducted a series of land scape clinics this winter throughout northern Oregon. Try to get trees established at the earliest time, Fredeen advises. They are slower grow ing and will take longer to mature. If the new home Is occupied late in the spring, plant the lawn and wait on the trees and shrubs until the following fall. If you move in late in the fall, plant the trees and shrubs and let the lawn go un til spring. Suitable Plants Place plants in the situation to which they are best adapt ed, Fredeen says. For exam ple, many of the native plants -Oregon grape, salal, vine 15 Head of Cattle Found in State Salem-Recovery of 15 head of cattle, four reported miss ing last month and 11 last August, are recorded in the March estray list issued by the state department of agri culture, animal idvision. Owners were Joe Lewis of Azalea and Everett Streed of Doris, Calif. The latter is still short 5 steers reported miss ing last year. Offsetting this was word the past month of another 15 'strayed, lost or stolen an!-, mals. Eleven of the newly re-1 ported disappearances extend back eight months, due large-1 ly to head counts of cattle ranged last May being taken this winter. i The department urged stockmen to report livestock losses as promptly as possible. maple, pines, kinniklnick, or manzanita-are well suited for landscape use. They have be come established to the cli mate and there are few dis eases which attack them. In the shady areas of the yard, select and place the plant that require afternoon shade or cannot tolerate too much sun. They Include rho dodendrons, camellias, acuba and others. Plants that need a half-day of sun or more in clude the deciduous plants like spirea, flowering quince, azaleas and roses. Consider Future Growth One thing often overlooked in landscape planning is the future growth of the plants, according to Fredeen, When plants are purchased while small, it is difficult to realize that some will spread 4 to 6 feet in just a few years. It is best, he recommends, to make the plant beds big enough in the beginning to accommo date the mature size of the plants. Annuals can be plant ed in the space between the shrubs until the plants reach maturity. Plants should be placed at least 18 inches or 2 feet from the house to prevent over crowding and also to allow room to paint, wash windows, etc. Columnar Growth As a general rule, plants of columnar habit, such as arbor vitae, yew or cypress should be avoided, Fredeen believes. These tall, thin forms are dif ficult to work with and add little to the landscape. Their use Is best defined as hedges, screens or wind breaks. They are often incorrectly used at corners, between windows or near the front doors. In these spots, they accent parts of th house already accented, he pointed out. It would be better to use plants that grow about one third or two-thirds the height of the house at the corner and avoid planting the entir front solid from corner to corner, he saya.

CALL William SP 2-4093 ROGUE VALLEY PROVED SIRE SERVICE OREGON GROWERS REPORT RESULTS WITH CYPREX ; "Couldn't find a scabby apple at thinninf time' "0n block of my 1958 Newton crop had a high percentage of pin point scab, ao it all went to the can nery none to the fresh market. This, in spite of the fact that I had applied a delayed dormant plus three other scab sprays to this crop. In 1959 I applied one Cyprex apray and followed it with another Cyprex spray ten days later. Cyprex aure took care of the scab. It stopped the scab on the fruit and on the leaves. I couldn't find a scabby apple at thin ning time. My Newtons in 1959 were the nicest I've ever grown good fin ish, foliage slick and healthy. I'll use Cyprex to control my scab in 1960." Wtlfrrd Wnltur Box 99, Routt t, Hooi Kivr "Only 3 scabby applet out fT of 600 boxes picked" "In 1958 1 sprayed 10 times with other ma terials for acab con trol and ended up with 25fo scabby fruit' and another 25 rus- aetted fruit from the use of these ma terials. This past season I sprayed four times with Cyprex and found 3 scabby apples out of 600 boxes picked so far. Cyprex has made it possible for me to continue raising apples in this area." Alfred Hopptr Bo lit, Routt 1, Frtewater-Milton "Cyprtx is ter most economical hnidda" "In 1959 we used three Cyprex sprays in one block of trees and three sprays of other fungicides on the other block, Tim- Ing was at pink, about 30 bloom and calyx. On May 4th, the non-Cyprex trees had leaf scab so we put Cyprex on them. Thia stopped the scab. At picking time there was less than V ot 1 scab in the straight Cyprex com pared to about VA in the rest of the block. Fruit finish was better on the straight Cyprex and the trees had a better appearance. There was no dif ference in fruit set. Just before pick ing time there was enough scab in all except our straight Cyprex block to require another treatment Even under weather conditions last spring favor able to scab development Cyprex did the job. In view of better control, less cullage and less down-grading, Cyprex is our most economical scab fungicide. It gets the job done. Cyprex is nicer to handle, does not irritate your skin like some fungicides do. In 1960 we will use Cyprex for scab eontrol on all our pears." GiltterttmtFlttchtr B-x 7t, Rut t, Hooi River "Wt beat scab... rith Cypres" "We have always had to battle to control scab because of the location of our or chards. Last apring was especially warm and humid. Like a hot house, really good weather for scab. Cyprex was a big help in our scab control program. In past years we have used up to five scab sprays on Seckles. This year we used only three sprays. The first two were non-Cyprex sprays one at 90 bud separation and one at advanced popcorn. The two sprays were about five to seven days apart. This standard program was not holding so we put on Cyprex at advanced calyx. That stopped the infection. Some fungicides give our pears a rough finish, but Cyprex does not It goes into solu tion easily. Cyprex is a "must" for us in 1960." Hob Deuel, Jr. Del Rio Ortharit, Gold HOI iia,.i: -3 bjpris w our m fungicide far I960" "In 1958 we did net pick the north half of our interplanted block of d'Anjou and Bart letts because it waa almost 100 scab. The south half was not as bad, 16 to' 20 scab. This even though we put on a delayed dormant of lime-sulphur and oil, a pre-pink and a calyx spray. We tried Cyprex for the first time in 1969. It was applied in the worst scab spot, the north half of the pear block, at pre-pink and calyx. Two non-Cyprex sprays were used on the south half at the same timings. The control was not holding on the south half ao wt ap plied one Cyprex spray. Later, a Cy prex spray was applied on the whole block. Our Bartletts had the smooth est, most shiny finish that they have ever had. Some fungicides curl our young leaves, making insect control more difficult, but Cyprex does not. On apples wa used a dormant and pink of non-Cyprex fungicides. Then we put on two Cyprex sprays. Before our first Cyprex there was a scab spot on every leaf, even the small ones. The Cyprex stopped it. The scab was dead three to four days after spraying. We are con vinced that without Cyprex we would not have harvested half our pear crop or held our apple scab in 1959. Cyprex is our scab fungicide for 1960." R. W. Perry & Son Box iSO, Routt 1, Hood River Consult your local agricultural au thorities for further information.
