Pi 0 o tsvice Measures Protein Faster Washington - (Science Serv ice) - A new, fast and easy-to-use device for determining the protein content of milk has been developed in Russia. it u.oU alca pl'riviiiS ill adlll- pies oi Dlood. lymph, urine and spinal fluid, and can est: ma'e the presence of proteins In meat and wool. The small "proteinmeter of fluorescence" has been built at the Ail-Union Institute of Catlle-Breeding by I. Kesunin and S. Konev, it was reported In a Soviet monthly magazine. The device works because proteins glow under ultravio let light. This glow, however, is not visible to human eye sight because it is in the ultra violet band of light. A special glass, called uranic glass, transforms the ultraviolet lum inescence into visible light. The brightness of the lum inescence is measured with a ligh:-sensitive electronic "eye'' and converted into a reading on a sensitive ammeter. To determine the protein content of milk, for instance, the milk is diluted 20 times and a small sample is taken. The protein content in milk with this method may be de termined to within 0.1 per cent. Sprague To Address Farm Council Banquet Salem - H'PH- Former Gov. Charles A.

MYLER Washington - ll'PD - Meteor ologists have progressed from kites to satellites in 70 years of scientific kibitzing on the weather. They also have used air planes, balloon-borne radio sondes - known to some as flying saucers, and high-alti tude rockets. Kites, used in the latter part of the 19th and the first quarter of the 20th century, carried aloft instruments which automatically recorded temperature, pressure, and humidity. This system, the weather bureau says, ''had several weaknesses." The kites didn't go high enough, for one thing. Their average peak altitude was 10,000 feet. Airplanes, used for the same purpose from 1925 to 1937, averaged about 17,000 feet, but this was still too low. System Pretty Good Radiosondes, miniature wea ther stations which transmit their observations while still in the air, reach average al titudes of 75.000 feel, though some have gone higher than 125,000 feet. This system is pretty good for ordinary three dimension al observations of the kind needed for regular forecast ing. But for exploring higher reaches of the atmosphere the meteorologists have turned to rockets capable of carrying instruments 40 miles into the sky. This country has started a MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1960 i a per tipped on its end. The truck had been loaded at a rail siding, and when it pulled away, it tipped.

Meanwhile, Tiros I has been broadcasting pictorial infor mation about what the wea ther looks like from an alti tude of 45Q miles, and second and third generation satel lites arc being designed for even more specialized work. Not Obsolete Radiosondes have not, how ever, become obsolete. Twice to four times dally they go up from 91 weather bureau stations in the United States and on Caribbean and Pacific Islands, and' from 44 cooper ative stations elsewhere in the western hemisphere. Radiosonde balloons shining in the sun frequenly have been reported as flying sau cers, and parachutes carrying the instruments back to earth have occasionally thrown a scare into imaginative ob servers. The largest radiosondes now used by this country are packaged in a square white box about 10 inches and five deep. Each box has lettered upon it instructions to the finder to send it to the radiosonde re conditioning center, Joliet, 111. This center has recondi tioned well over 200.000 re turned radiosondes in 15 years, saving the bureau more than $2-million.

(EMBtr IIMII ISI!I Tribune 1 4 f Ike, Japanese Emperor To Parade Washington - OJPIl -The White House today announced plans for President Eisen hower's June 19-23 trip to Japan and Korea, including a precedent - breaking parade with Emperor Hirohito through the streets of Tokyo. Associate White House Press Secretary Ann Wheaton emphasized that the Japan Korea schedule was "firm" when reporters questioned her about the possibility the Pres ident might cancel his visit to Russia on the first leg of the around-the-world trip. Other officials said they did not foresee any change in the President's pian to visit Rus sia June 10-19, despite the U.S. spy plane incident. Sometimes the finder sends a letter along with the re turned radiosonde. One man mailed a bill for $2 worth of rifle cartridges "used in shooting weather object out of a 100-foot tall pine tree." "The reason the bill is so high," he said, "is that our shooting isn't too good." An other wrote that when he saw the radiosonde drifting down "I thought my time had come.." He said "All of my children ran away from home." One radiosonde fell in a grove of trees. The grove owner cut down seven trees before he got the right one. He apologized because the 'chute springs were broken. Another finder wrote: "I am sending your radio back to you. It's no good. I ain't been able to get a single station on it. I am sorry I didn't send the battery too as it was torn up when I shot the gadget out of a tree." of th Old West K rl60f. lit tUlft KtUUM SHUTS Section B Food Supplies Expected To Be Same As in 1959 Washington iVPD - Food sup plies will be about as large this spring and summer as they were a year ago. Retail food prices are ex pected to rise seasonally in the near future, but they prob ably will average close to those of last year. Demand for food will re main strong. ! This was the nation's food' picture for the next few! months as seen by economists writing in the agriculture de partment's publication, "The National Food Situation." Slightly More Meat The department predicted consimers will find slightly more meat than they did in mid-1959. Plentiful types will include beef and lamb but not pork. Pork supplies last sum mer were unusually large. More milk and dairy prod ucts are indicated because stocks are a little heavier this year and milk production is expected to increase slight ly. Eggs and lard likely will continue to be less plentiful than in 1959. but supplies of chicken and turkey are ex pected to be somewhat closer to the 1959 level within a few months. Processed fruits and citrus juices will be in heavier sup ply during spring and early summer than a year ago. More watermelons but few canta loupes are indicated for the next few months. Supplies of deciduous fruits and vegetables will increase seasonally as summer ap proaches, but those of fresh citrus will decline. Peach Crop Good The department said the condition of trees in south eastern states during early spring pointed to ano'.ner good-sized crop of peaches in that area. Potato supplies should in crease noticeably as mid-1960 approaches. Supplies of many processed vegetables will continue less plentiful than in 1959 until the 1960 packs come on the market this summer. Food fats and oils and grains for cereals and bakery products will continue to be more than adequate to meet anticipated domestic needs and exports. Marysville Police Seek Deranged Man Marysville, Calif.-tl'PD-Police dug in behind sandbag fortifications today outside a home where an armed and possibly mentally deranged former dishwasher barricad ed himself. Other officers, armed with shotguns and tear gas bombs, took up positions in nearby homes and along an adjoining levee and had James Owens, 34, surrounded. Owens was armed with two revolvers stolen earlier from policemen taking him for a mental examination. He had barricaded himself in the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Brown, Russia To Try American Pilot Washington-ltlPD - Russia in formed the United States to day that it will try U. S. pilot Francis G. Powers on espion age charges for his flight over the Soviet Union. Powers piloted the U2 high- altitude spy plane which was downed in Russia May 1 dur ing an Intelligence-gathering flight. Russia's official announce-1 ment that it will try Powers was contained In a note de scribed by the State Depart ment as a "protest" over the flight.

By JOHN GRIBBLE (Editor's not: Th fol lowing commtnti on trt. particularly thosa adapta ble to street use in Medford, have been prepared by John Sribble, well known re tired forester, and will be run in a series during the 'tree planting season" here, low under way.) ASH TREES Globe headed blue ash. frax inus quadrangulata. is a native from Michigan to Iowa, south to North Carolina and Okla homa. It is widely planted in the prairie region where it makes a vigorous growth. The bark is dark and. when cut, a resinous exudation appears which turns blue upon ex posure to the air, from which comes its common name, blue ash. The twigs are four-angled. and from this it derives its Latin name, "quadrangulata." The leaves are opposite, com pound with from 5 to 11 leaf lets on short stems, arranged along opposite sides of the main petiole, or leaf stalk. This is the tree for Third St., planted 40 to 50 feet apart. Flowering ash, fraxinus ornus, is a native of southern Europe and western Asia. It is a small round-headed tree reaching a height of 20 to 25 feet. The flowers are a white. greenish color, fragrant, not orange blossom or spice, but a mingling of the two, and borne in dense clusters. The leaves are opposite. compound with seven stalked leaflets, abruptly pointed and Irregularly toothed. The win ter buds are gray or brown. This is a combination street and home tree that you will , always like for its beauty, fragrance and leathery-like leaves. The flowering ash is for Eucalyptus and Easy sts., planted 50 to 60 feet apart. Columnar European moun tain ash, sorbus aucuparia. In Germany this tree is known as the "Fogelberenbaum" (bird-berry-tree). This tree is indig enous from Europe to western Asia. It grows with symmetri cal, round-topped crown. The winter buds are wooley but not gummy. The compound leaves have 9 to 15 leaflets, oblong, one to two inches long. hairy when young, but smooth and gray when mature. The young twigs are hairy and later turn grayish-brown. The fruit is in clusters of scar let-orange berries from July to winter, great attraction for birds, especially when other; food is covered with snow. This tree will grow in about' any kind of soil. j The mountain ash is for 10th st. 50 to 60 feet apart. There are about 40 species of ash, widely distributed, a few representatives in the high mountains nf Java and the West Indies. There are 21 species native in the United States. A few ash trees are about town. They are quite easily recognized by the wing ed fruit, a samara 1 to lVi inches long, resembling In out line the blade of a canoe paddle. The ash, maple and certain dogwood species are the only native eastern America trees which have their leaves and winter buds arranged in op posite pairs. This and the compound leaf make It easy to Identify the ash group. Washington - (UPI1 - The Ag riculture Depart ment esti mated 991,618,000 bushels of winter wheat will be harvest ed this year.
