chapter from her organiza
tion. Mongold Cows
Complete Records
Two registered Jersey cows.
La Pine Standard Shelley and
La Pine Standard Gizcllc,
owned by W, D. Mongold, La
Pine Jersey Farm, route 1,
Eagle Point, have recently
completed official production
records Riving them a cow
power index of 17.3 and 13.4,
respectively. This indicates
that Shelley produced 17.3
times her body weight in milk
during this lactation and Gi
zelle produced 15.4 times her
body weight in milk.
Shelley's total production
was 13,270 pounds milk con
taining 754 pounds butlerfnt
in 305 days at the age of 3
years and 11 months and Gi
zclle produced 12.541 pounds
milk containing 700 pounds
butlcrfat in 305 days at the
age of 3 years and II months
These records are further
proof that a dairy cow doesn't
have to be big to be most
efficient and profitable.
Realizing that owners must
obtain nil the efficiency nos-
sible under today's dairying
conditions, The American Jer
sey Cattle club launched this
cow power program as another
service for owners of register
ed Jerseys.
Don't overfeed cows with
little calves, say animal sci
entists. Too, much milk will
cause scours which slow their
growth.

Grange Continues

Eagle Point The Eagle
Point Grange is in its second
year of tree planting.
As a first step in the project
this year W. E. Davies, of the
Eagle Point Grange delivered
free 565 trees to farmers, sub
divisions, home - owners and
individuals in the area from
the Antelope rd. to the Tim
berline area above Eagle
Point recently.
Also one ton of Marion
Blue grass was donated to the
Grange by C. C. Hoover and
his two sons, Claude and Bud,
for distribution to the home
owners for lawns. The Grange
Spring Jug Dairy
People Advised
On Regulations
Salcm-The spring surplus
of fluid milk will probably
fee new jug dairies appearing
in various parts of the state.
With this in mind, new
comers to the gallon jug or
bottle trade are advised to
contact the state department
of agriculture, Salem, for in
spection and license.
Kenneth K. Carl, of the de
partment's dairy staff, warns
that all jug dairies with more
than one dairy cow must he
licensed to operate legally.
Only licensed dairies come
under the state sanitation in
spection and laboratory check
of milk and cream for whole
somcness and buttcrfnt con
tent. Business Climbs
From 25 dairies six years
ago, the jug business has
climbed until at the begin
ning of this year 120 jug dai
ries (sales on premises in gal
lon jugs) were under state li
cense. These dairies may qual
ify for either grade A or grade
B licenses, depending upon
which standards they meet.
Actually, bacteria and butter-
fat requirements are the same
for both grades of milk, with
the difference lying primarily
In physical requirements for
the milking stable and milk-
house.
Owners of a single cow are
exempt from licensing under
the state milk laws If they do
not advertise and If they sell
direct to consumer. The same
applies to three dairy goats.
By the same token, one cow
or three goats do not come
under sanitary inspection nor
are they required to have the
brucellosis (Bang's) and tu
berculosis tests routinely de
manded of licensed dairies.
Carl says that because no
controls are required of the
one-cow dairy, persons obtain
ing their milk supply from
this source shuld realize they
do so at their own risk with
relation to sanitation and cow
health. These factors, he de
clares, should be given special
consideration during the sum
mer months.

vers. The Grange has also un
dertaken a 7 mile long park
with lakes as a project. It will
furnish trees for this area and
for the area between Vilas rd.
south of White City to the
timbcrline area above Eagle
Point.
25.000 Trees
About 25,000 trees planted
last year are growing in the
White City area. These were
planted by Girl Scouts, Boy
Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and
4-H clubs. Several of the
young trees have grown more
than 6 feet tall. The golden
weeping willows are in full
color. More trees will be
planted around the lakes in
the White City area as soon
as fences or other protection
can be established. Fishermen
trampled the young trees last
year not realizing they were
there, Hoover reported.
Aims of the tree planting
program is to set up a color
pattern of foliage which will
provide a view for many
years to come. The tree varie
ties include Chinese elm,
Russian mulberry, Russian
onve, golden and green weep
ing willows, black locust, ce
dar, ponderosa pine, Scotch
pine, Carolina silver poplar
redwood and some black hy
brid walnuts.
Htlp Project
The landscape engineer of
the Crater Lake National
park, C. B. Cordy, county hor
ticultural agent, and Mrs.
Edith Eden, of the Medford
tree commission all helped in
the planning, tree selection
and suggested methods of
planting and caring for the
trees and grasses. C. C. Hoo
ver is project chairman.
Hoover gut his Idea from
watching Gordon Kershaw,
local nurseryman. Kershaw
has planted several types of
trees around his lakes in the
Camp White area. Now they
are large, beautiful shade
trees at the desert nursery.
Once the hard earth crust is
broken the soil will grow
anything, Kershaw, pointed
out. During a recent Jackson
county 4-H club tour of the
nursery, Kershaw showed the
youngsters the process of
rooting tree limbs, grafting,
cutting and planting and gen
eral!.v how the trees are
grown before they arc sold.
Several other people have
donated trees to the project.
Since the project has made
people more tree - conscious
the area nurserymen say they
are selling more trees than
before.
Another thing which has
helped the project is the high
water level of the desert.
Wells now being dug on the
desert will produce from 1,000
to 6,500 gallons of water an
hour from a 60 foot well. Dur
ing a recent tour of the tree
planting project we saw an
average of 50 lo 100 trees
planted to each farm.
The city of Eagle Point re
cently planted three Grange-
donated redwood trees in the
parks. It has ordered also 1 1
globe -headed European ash
trees for planting along Main
st. The plan is to plant a dif
ferent variety on each street
to form a striking pattern
when the trees bloom.
"Aim of the Grange proj
ect is to convert the desert
area near White City Into a
woodland valley with Its 7
miles of lakes surrounded by
trees. This would be in the
center of an area of small
farms also surrounded by
large shade trees to form a
green valley surrounded by
mountains," a Grange spokes
man said.
Major developments in the
growlh of the food Industry
In recent years has been the
rise of supermarkets and n
rapid shift toward so-called
convenience foods.
The typical new supermar
ket now devotes a consider
able amount of space to frozen
foods, carries as many as 100
different mixes for cakes,
cookies, and biscuits, offers
about 50 kinds of baby foods,
and has many shelves of easy
to-prepare product.

In New Bulletin
Corvallis - Spray programs
for controlling diseases and
insect pests in commercial ap
ple, pear, and stone fruit or
chards have been brought up
to date in two circulars pub
lished this week by the Ore
gon State college extension
service.
Easy - to - understand direc
tions include a table of resi
due tolerances established by
the federal food and drug
administration.
The circulars give informa
tion on kinds and rates of
sprays lo use, pests or dis
eases each spray will control
and lists cautions necessary
when handling spray poisons,
Recommendations key spray
ing times to bud and flower
development on the trees as
well as to time of year.
One circular, "Diseases and
Insect Pests of Stone Fruits
in Oregon," lists spray sched
ules for peaches, cherries,
prunes, plums, and apricots
In addition, this circular lists
and describes major diseases
and Insect pests that may be
encountered in orchards of
these tree fruits.
The other circular. "Spray
Program for Apples and
Pears in the Willamette Val
ley," gives spray information
for controlling diseases and
Insects on these two orchard
crops. Guides for application
with air-carrier sprayers are
included.
The circulars were prepared
by the extension service In
cooperation with the OSC de

ai me peart start to grow in size we hope the pear
growers and the U. S. Employment Service will start think
ing ahead to harvest heip.
It usually saves a lot of time, effort and money if the
griping can be done beforehand. We were rummaging through
damage reported, few orchards
to be imported for pear harvest.
Then pear growers' troubles continued as: pear crop said
to be above average, blight continues as serious threat, pear
harvest to start in Rogue Valk-y, pear orchards hit by storm,
picker supply said adequate for pears, Bartlett crop due
to hit markets earlier, much
pear harvest still steady, 200
icans here for assistance, Mexican laborers arrive to pick,
50-100 pickers being placed daily, more than 5,000 in fruit
harvest, and finally, pears top carloads shipped from area,
local pears facing stiffer competition.
Pear industry people remember all too well how the
pears ripened quickly and orchardists sprayed hormone on
the trees to hold them on so they would gain size. Meanwhile,
they repeatedly called for more pickers. A wind storm
dropped a large percentage on the ground. The drop con
tinued as growers were unable to get enough pickers to
harvest the crop which neared its peak.
So, Governor Hatfield's statement that he realizes migra
tory labor is a big problem here struck a pair of responsive
cars. "Last year this fruit harvest problem was a real
problem," Hatfield remarked. "We're trying to work out
predictions as to the amount of harvest labor needed by
studying trends and hitting on the high point of the average
number of pickers required."
The problem, the governor noted, is to supplement the
local labor market with foreign pickers. The foreign pickers,
such as the Mexicans, are the superior pickers, Hatfield ad
mitted. These will be needed in increasing numbers.
"Too often your area has been looked on as an area of
unemployment and welfare problems," Hatfield remarked.
"Nobody seemed to consider the fruit crop which has to be
harvested."
From these remarks and others, it appeared the gov
ernor is well informed on the pear harvest problem here.
As the fruit develops on the trees the problem will be to
keep him informed. This will have to be accurate informa
tion, not flavored by optimism for the local loan agencies,
or pessimism.
We all remember the ground underneath the trees being
carpeted with pears last harvest season. We remember how
desperately the pear growers were scrambling for harvest
help any help. And, too often this is the kind they got
the kind that wandered down the road after the first day or
two. Pear picking requires strength, stamina and skill. The
Mexicans have ail of these qualities and we need more of
them come harvest season in July and August.

In the wilderness bill.
The senate interior committee today was scheduled to
consider this important piece of legislation. However, the
house has not yet considered It and may not before it ad
journs In July even if the senate passes It. So, you people
who want to register your opinion on it better get busy and
write your congressman. As one of your southern friends
says, "Time's awastin'l Let's git to gittin'l"
Frankly we are opposed
which does not guarantee multiple use. In proposed develop
ment of water resources of the Rogue River basin area
residents are plugging for multiple use. In fact, that's the
only way that we will be able to get the Rogue basin bill
through Congress. Why should multiple use be good for water
developments and not for timber?
"In this bill, about 2 per
sideration for establishment in the National Wilderness Pre
servation System. These areas, it is felt, should be preserved
for the permanent good of the whole people not left open
to exploitation by the few who can profit from destroying
the character of the wilderness," so reads an editorial in
Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle.
Of course, Californians have a different view of con
servation than we do. They should, anything of nature which
does not have a fence around it is trampled there.
A good example of this is the California rancher and
ardent fisherman who used to help the fish and game
people plant the fish one year and would come back later
and fish those same streams out. He apparently didn't know
the difference between sports fishing and commercial fishing.
"The wilderness bill gives statutory protection to wilder
ness areas in national parks and monuments, national forests
and national wildlife refuges and ranges, but won't conflict
with established practices such as grazing. It includes no
areas now open to lumbering. It is said to invade no existing
private rights, and will not call for money," the Chronicle
editorial states. If it doesn't require money it will be one
of the very few government measures which doesn't!
It's not enough Just to raise a crop or produce a farm
product these days. Farmer groups also have to promote
and sell their products. A lot of this activity is being done
abroad these days. Naturally, those who go abroad to pro
mote these farm product sales have to understand the cus
toms and even the language of the country they are dealing
with. Hence we were surprised when a school board mem
ber of our little country town said the rest of the board
seemed against his proposal lo teach foreign languages in
the lower grades.
A number of people from Jackson county are now travel
ling abroad. They shouldn't be too surprised to hear the
ring of an ice cream cart bell. The sale of dairy products
is being promoted abroad, also. Foremost Dairies has de
veloped a new process for concentrating milk solids and
milk fat, then reconstituting these into milk by adding
water in foreign plants. Sales are booming in Hong Kong
and Bangkok and from Yokohama to Turkey. The milk
sold from these plants comes from western cows.
A California businessman is also involved in promoting
the sale of raisins in Japan. Beats seaweed for eating any
day, to our way of thinking. The raisin boosters figure on
a 20,000 ton market there. The raisin industry is donating
200 tons of raisins to Japan and is sending a man over to
teach the Japanese how to bake raisin bread. This is a
natural follow up on the wheat growers promotion in Japan.
Oregon wheal will also form a large part of the wheat
shipment ordered by Pakistan under an agreement signed
in Karachi recently.

In OSU Survey
Corvallis-The value of soil
tests was proved in Marion
county recently when a coop
erative mass sampling reveal
ed at least one reason why
crops in that area aren't grow
ing as well as they should.
Too little boron (an impor
tant fertilizer) was found in
209 of the 228 soil samples
taken. Of these, 158 were cri
tically low, reports Arthur S.
King, Oregon Slate College
extension conservation special
ist.
Soils on 66 farms within
a 7-mile radius of Stayton
were tested as a cooperative
effort of Oregon state col
lege, fertilizer dealers and
the Stayton Canning Com
pany. The mass testing was
initiated by the canning co
operative which felt that
growers could improve pro
duction of some crops-espe-cially
sweet corn.
Soil samples were analyzed
in the USC soil testing labora
tory. The testing service tells
how much fertilizer is need
ed to grow a particular crop
on certain soil. Each of the
Marion county samples was
checked for corn, beans, car
rots, and strawberries.
Lack Phosphorus
Forty-four samples were
low in phosphorus. 24 critical
ly low. But 75 samples were
real high, which reflects a
heavy use of phosphorus fer
tilizer by some farmers who
may be applying more phos
phorus than they need, King
observed.
As for potash, 90 samples
were below the level consid
ered adequate for most crops.
The tests uncovered a short-1
age of magnesium on 15 sam
ples. This was the first indi
cation of magnesium shortages
in ihe main Willamette Valley.
King pointed out that tak
ing many samples in a con
centrated area provides good
opportunity to compare soils
and sec what shortages are
present in the area. Similar
cooperative operations are un
der way near Gresham and
Eugene.
Grasses are heavy users of
nitrogen. Legumes, such as
alfalfa or clover, boost the
nitrogen supply when grown
with grass,
Fertilizer stimulates growth
of weeds as well as crops.
