Shell N-Sol 32 contains 32
nitrogen(non-evaporating) ;
it is utilized throughout the
root system giving your
pears a timed, three-stage
feeding:
1st COURSE: Urea nitrogen
and nitrate nitrogen (3 of
total content) move down
into the soil for immediate
use by roots. Also, ammon
ium nitrogen (' of total)
is fixed in the top few inches
of soil for continued feeding
by shallow roots,
2nd COURSE: Soon, remain,
ing urea nitrogen is changed
to ammonium nitrogen which
complements the original
ammonium nitrogen in the
top layer of soil in providing
long-term feeding.
3rd COURSE: Gradually,
bacterial action converts the
unused portion of ammoni
um nitrogen into the nitrate
form. These nutrients pene
trate farther into the soil to

E. P. 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

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

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

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.

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."

"In 1958 1 sprayed 10
times with other ma

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."

"Cyprtx is ter most

"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."

"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

in 1960."

"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."
