TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. B 3 CHIT CHAT By JOE COWLEY Mail Tribune Farm Editor The Rogue valley pear harvest is now in full scale oper ation with pears pouring into the packing houses. The packing house workers are mostly housewives, teach ers and pensioners who use this seasonal work to round out their incomes or the family budget. Pear industry spokes men figure they hire about 5,000 packers and pickers each year for approximately two months of work. These part-time incomes will be about $400 a month or about $75 a week more or less depending on the job. An average crew of pick ers over the season will make about $1.50 an hour during the season. It's difficult to reach an average monthly income estimate for the pickers since their picking rates vary so greatly. Money brought into this valley each year through the overall fruit industry operation is $15 million. A large per centage of this income comes from places out of state places which receive and retail Medford district pears. Naturally anything which cuts pear industry production also cuts the incomes of the various people who work in the industry. This is why the public should realize anything which harms the industry affects a valley income which is second only to the lumber industry. Like every other part of agriculture the pear industry is also caught in the cost price squeeze. In other words, their prices fail to keep up with their costs. Labor in the last five years has gone up 10 per cent. Costs of spray materials, tractors and farm implements have more than doubled. Pear growers and shippers do not figure into their labor costs what they should charge for management. I Purebred Dairy Owners Invited To County Fair Eight purebred dairy breed ers from the Rogue valley have been invited to attend the judging of dairy cattle during the Tillamook county fair Aug. 24-27, the Tillamook county fair board announced today. Those who have been in vited by the fair board are John and Hazel Jaksch, Gold Hill, E. B. Poycr, Ashland. Frank Schutzwohl, Grants Pass, Mr. and Mrs. 11. L. Mc Colm, Grants Pass, Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Mongold. Eagle Point, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Par- Weed Control Advice Told By Valley Nurseryman TOP HEIFER SO Miss Mill Iron is dis played by Don Bradshaw of Seven Oaks Hereford ranch, Central Point. She took grand champion heifer Hereford awards at both Josephine and Siskiyou county fairs recently. Its owners Bradshaw and John Bohnert plan to exhibit her at the state fair in Salem in the livestock events Sept. 7-10. This prize hunk of beef weighs about 1,250 pounds and was born in February 1959. Getting back to labor, a note from the Oregon state em ployment service states the composite farm labor rate per hour in Oregon is the third highest in the nation as of July 1, 1960. This handicaps the pear people decidedly in the eastern markets, areas where labor is cheaper and fruits tranporta tion costs are much lower. U. S. Department of Agriculture figures show that can ning prices paid for pears (mostly Bartletts) were 363 a ton in 1953 and $62 a ton in 1959, a dollar less. Yet general packing house help, on an average, is earning 28 per cent more an hour now than they did nine or 10 years ago. In 1951 they earned $1.22 an hour. In 1960 they earn $1.56 an hour. Other figures show that the pear grower receives $1.71 a ton for his pears in 1951 and in 1959 received $1.72. As recently as 1949 the grower received 93 cents a ton for all pears and 63 cents for Bartletts. Those are the bad years which he has to make up for over the long haul so he can pay interest on bank loans used to buy equipment and other essentials which he needs to keep operating. One packing house in the valley has figures which show in 1951 it received $90 a ton for canning pears and $61.81 in 1959. This further illustrates how pear prices are going down and operating costs are rising. Soil District Sets Annual Tour Here With all the increased interest in wheat subsidies lately, particularly in party platform conversation, it is ineresting to see that the Oregon Wheat Growers' league is continuing its foreign market development for Oregon wheat. A letter from the League's Pendleton headquarters re minds the reader that Oregon's wheat growers pioneered in developing foreign markets for Oregon wheat. In 1954 the league started a survey of possible wheat markets in the Orient and followed this up with a successful marketing program for wheat from Oregon, the Pacific North west and the U.S. From July 1, 1959 to June 30, 1960 the Pacific Northwest shipped a total of 119,497,000 bushels of wheat to foreign markets. Total U. S. wheat shipments to foreign markets for the same period came to 412,889,000 bushels. By GENE WINTERS County Extension Agent Jackson county farmers and others interested in conserva tion are invited to accompany the Supervisors of the Sams Valley-Beagle Soil Conserva tion district on their annual tour of the district next Satur day, according to Elwood Ab bott, chairman of the board. The tour is planned to as semble at the junction of Highway 62 and Highway 234, approximately 'four miles north of Eagle Point. It is scheduled to begin at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning and be completed by 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Those going should bring a lunch. First stop of the tour will be at the G. H. Jess ranch on Agate rd., where Agate desert land is being prepared for surface irrigated pasture. A novel feature of this irri gation system is the utilization of the sprinkler irrigation pump to supply water to a holding reservoir while the sprinkler irrigation is in op eration on other lands. Watc from the reservoir will then be used on the newly de veloped pasture lands. The second stop will be made at 10:30 on the Marcus Dey Evergreen ranch about 10 miles west of Prospect where erosion control dams Now the Oregon Wheat Growers' league has joined with other wheat organizations in the Western Wheat Associates of Portland. This is the foreign marketing agency for wheat which is sponsored by wheat growers and wheat commis sions of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and the Great Plains states. This group is increasing use of wheat and building new markets in Japan, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Thailand, Burma and Indonesia. and fish ponds will be ob served. Control diversions, lined ditches and pipe line of the Nye ditch-mill creek diversion will be seen at the third stop, about two miles northeast of Prospect. A lunch break will be held at noon at Copco dam on Rogue river. Following lunch tour members will inspect the Nye ditch siphon works near Copco dam. Irrigation struct ures, lined ditches, pipe lines and weirs have been construct ed through the group action of 26 farmers irrigating near ly 2,000 acres from this facil ity. The next scheduled stop will be the Mel-Mar ranch on the Prospect-Butte Falls highway owned by Morley Pingle. Drainage, border irri gation and pasture scedings will be the main points of in terest at this stop. ! Visits to land leveling on the Philip Nevin and Ed Greenwood ranches near Eagle Point, gunite ditches of the Little Butte Creek Irriga tion group and slipform ditches on the 401 Orchard will complete the tour. Assisting the supervisors with the tour will be Bob Lonzway, work unit conserva tionist and Gene Winters, county extension agent. iARDEN NOTES When we visited with league representatives three years ago we remember hearing of how they had sent technical oHvisnrs In JaDan to teach the Japanese how to bake with wheal and market their bakery products. Since that time the wheat market promoters have brought delegations from these Far Eastern countries to the Pacific Northwest. They w i.onn shown that the U. S. can offer a dependable source of supply of quality wheat of more types than any other wheat exporting country at competitive prices. Major competitors for the Far Eastern wneat mantel are i. and Australia. urhiin nn tnnr the foreicn delegations have seen wheat processing, storage and shipping facilities in the Portland area and have visited wheat ranches, grain elevators and representatives of the Oregon Wheat Growers league in eastern Oregon. In Japan a school lunch program has been set up which Includes serving wheat rolls to an estimated 10 million chil dren Since prewar days annual per capita consumption of wheat has jumped from 30 to 90 pounds. Rice consumption has dropped from 300 pounds to 264 pounds. Desipte bumper rice crops in the past four years wheat consumption has risen 10 per cent in that period. Japan is the United States' best dollar customer for wheat, league officials state. Now that the Rogue river basin project seems well on the road its interesting to look around and notice that he neigh boring state of California is having its water project develop men problems. According to news accounts from the golden but dry state many people and factions are taking a swing at Governor Brown's water program now. The plan seems to be unpopular with tactions oi oom laoor ami aBi Labor feels that water from the proposed project should not be delivered to farms of over 160 acres. The current nlan provides higher rates for that used on farms of over 160 acres This "infuriated important farming interests, especially in the central and southern San Joaquin valley. The California state legislal I e which supposedly repre sents the people okayed the proposition and now the people mCst vote bonds for it. Farmers have been pushing to put X show on the road so have been backing the bond issue proposal in spite of some misgivings they may have, accord ing to accounts. By DON BERRY County Agent The growers are picking Bartlett and Anjou pears. When should apples and pears be picked? This ques tion confronts many home growers each year. Proper picking time is especially im portant when the fruit is to be stored. The commercial grower can draw upon his experience and pressure tests available to him. The home gardener of ten doesn't have these re sources to answer the question for him. Several indications, rather than any one, should be used to determine proper time to pick apples and pears. Color of fruit, both outside and under the skin, is a good in dicator if you're acquainted with the color characteristics of the variety. Color an Indicator Firmness of flesh and seed color can be used as indicators. The flesh should be firm, but not too hard. The seeds should be brown although unripe fruit often has brown seeds, too. Green seeds do indicate unripe fruit, however. Ease of separating the fruit stem from the spur is still another indicator. The stem should remain attached to the fruit and the spur to the tree when apples or pears are pick ed. Ripe pears will usually detach when "tilted to a horizontal from their usual verticle hanging position. One of the most reliable indications is to watch the fruit fall. When the first un blemished, worm free, healthy fruit falls from the tree, the apples or pears are usually ripe for picking. On apples the best index is to pick one and cat it. If it is ready, you'll know. TOMATO PROBLEMS Each year we have consid erable complaints of rots showing up on the blossom end of the tomato. These black spots which occur op posite the stem end are due to irrigular waterings. To matoes need regular watering during the dry summer months to grow high quality fruit. Also, the , fruit of to matoes has a high water con-1 lent and requires considerable moisture to mature properly. Where excessive drought oc curs, leaf curling and rolling will also appear. I Where the blossom end rot is occurring, anything to help maintain uniform soil mois ture conditions will help re duce this problem. Mulches of black polyethylene plastic or organic materials such as sawdust or grass clippings will help, along with the reg ular even water applications. 500 Lambs Set For County Pool Shipment Here Approximately 500 lambs will be shipped out some time this week in the Jackson county lamb pool, County Agent Earle Jossy said. Jossy was busy all day to day contacting possible ship pers. Since the lambs are shipped into San Francisco prices received are based on the San Francisco market quo tations. These quotations are about a week behind the Portland market. Based on supply, Oregon lamb prices may remain about the same for much of the year. The 1960 Oregon lamb crop totaled 742,000 head, accord ing to the Oregon crop and livestock reporting service. This is 1 per cent greater than 1951 and 19 per cent above the 10-year (1949-58) average of 625,000 head. Lambs saved per 100 breeding ewes on hand last Jan. 1 averaged 99 head, the same as a year ago, and slightly above the 10-year average of 98, according to the 1960 lamb crop report Western Oregon may have slightly fewer lambs to ship to the fall markets since the cold, wet weather early last spring was not helpful to lambing, but the adequate moisture kept the lambs in pretty good condition. Death losses on July 1 amounted to about 4.4 head per 100. Slaughter reports show a 14 per cent decline from a year earlier. Average live weight January-May was about the same as a year earlier. The 13 western sheep stales including the 11 western states and South Dakota and Texas, produced 4 per cent more lambs in 1960 than in 1959 and 12 per cent more than average. The lamb crop in the 35 native sheep slates is 2 per cent smaller than last year but 10 per cent above average. In Texas, where ap proximately 15 per cent of the nation's lambs are produced, the 1960 crop is 5 per cent above 1959. By J. VERNON MARSHALL For Rogue Valley Nurserymen August-Garden Weed Con trol, is an interesting subject. All of us are looking for the j magic control which will elim i inate all objectionable plants !or weeds without damaging I good plants. There are a few weeds that I can be disposed of through ! cultivation. Annuals will die in the sun when the plant is cut off below the crown or when the plant is uprooted. Perennial weeds often will die after several years if the fol iage is destroyed each time it appears. However, litis meth od is far too slow, especially in this valley of much fertil- sons, 'Gold Hill, and Gerald I and plenty of water to spur them on. Let s consider the chemical weed control. The 2,4-D Weed-Be-Gone, an Ortho product is very effective on all broadleaves, will not harm hardy grasses. Lawn Groom, also a Ortho product will do three big jobs with one appli cation. Feeds your lawn, kills weeds and controls insects, such as lawn moth and wire- worms. Crabgrass is one of the worst pests in garden or lawn. Timing a chemical kill er, the right months (and Au gust and July are the right months), can kill il. 1 have been using Miller's liquid crabgrass killer, here at the nursery for some time, and find it very effective. By applying the chemical dur ing July and August, most of the seeds and seedlings will be destroyed, crabgrass is an an nual, therefore, timing to kill seeds and seedlings is very im portant. The new bark prod ucts that may be obtained from some of our lumber com panies, provide a good control, since the weeds grow more lush and soft, making it easier to pull all the roots. Also, the bark contains some natural plant food. We must pull some weeds along with our chem ical control, the chemicals cannot do the job alone. A. McDonald. Eagle Point. The Tillamook dairy show is noted for the high quality exhibits of Jersey, Guernsey, and Holstein cattle. Winners at this fair often top slate and regional shows, a fair spokesman staled. Judges at this year's show will be George Drumm, San Luis Obispo, Calif., Jersey classes; C. R. Knight. Ba'kersfield, Calif., Guernsey; and Prof. Floyd Wolberg, Oregon State college, Holstein. The three breeds will be judged at the same time in three different rings, it was reported. The Tillamook county fair will have a night show in front of the grandstand fea turing the Broadway musical comedy hit, "Annie Get Your Gun." Pari-mutual horse rac ing will be held each after noon starting Aug. 25. Horses from the Grcsham fair race track will compete and appear at the Salem state fair on Sept. 2. Ex-Deputy Sheriff In Ag.

Vet's Farm Loan Earns Highest Funds in Years The Oregon veterans' farm and home loan program earn' ed a net operating revenue during the last fiscal year ol $1,228,281, the highest in the history of the Department of Veterans' Affairs, H. C. Saal. fold, director, reported today This brings the department's loan earnings to S5,488,493 since the program started in 1945. The earnings are after the payment of loan operating costs, principal and interest on loan bonds, property taxes, and operating the depart ment's veterans' services di vision. They result from the favorable difference between the 4 per cent interest veter ans pay on their loans, and the present 2.868 per cent cost on $150 millions in bonds out standing. Last year was the highest in net loans granted, with 4,345 veterans borrowing $44, 783,150. Only about $12 mil lions will be available this year, however, Saalfeld said. because of the shortage of loan funds, unless Measure 13 is approved by the voters in November. That measure would authorize the depart ment to issue another $135 millions in loan bonds, mak ing available sufficient funds for an additional 13,000 loans. Fifteen per cent of Oregon's eligible veterans have now ob tained state loans. In the 15 years of the pro gram through June 30, net loans have been made to 30, 458 World War II and Korean veterans in the amount of $221,886,245. Veterans have repaid more than $107 mil lions, including $24 millions in interest. There are 20,369 loans outstanding in the amount of $153,149,502. partment of agriculture. Nelson's appointment was announced earlier this month by J. F. Short, director of ag riculture. He will direct all animal industry work except meat inspection and disease control programs for which the state veterinarian, Dr. L. E. Bodcnweiscr, is rcspon sible under direct reporting to Short. The new chief lias the ad vantage of prior experience in the work he now heads. He was with the animal di vision, first in a field position and then at the Salem head quarters, for 13 years until he resigned to lake the Lake county post. Prior to that he was with the Oregon State Police for about eight years. Nelson expects to spend as much time as possible In re n e w 1 n g livestock contacts throughout the state.

It Spray Statements Needed For Fruit Fruit growers are now re quired to give buyers state ments as to sprays used and percentage of active ingredi ents, County Horticultural Agent Clifford B. Cordy said today. A careful record should have been kept of all spray and dust applications, noting date of application, kind and amount of material. It may be impossible to sell your fruit unless such a record is avail able to satisfy buyers that the fruit was sprayed in accord ance with established regula tions, Cordy explained. Percentage of active ingre dients must also be listed for each spray used, he added Such percentages for the var ious sprays include: copper, 45-53 per cent, Cyprex 65 per cent, DDT 50 per cent, diazi non 25 per cent, dieldrin 50 per cent, EPN 25 per cent, Fcrbam 76 per cent, Guthion 25 per cent, Karathane 22't per cent, Kelthane 18'4 per cent, Malalhion 25 per cent, Parathion 25 per cent, Scvin 50 per cent, Ziram 75 per cent and Tcdion 25 per cent. Cordy also advised this is the time to apply the last cover spray to apples before they are picked. He recom mended 10 pounds of 50 per cent DDT to the acre or two pounds per 100 gallons. This should carry the ap ples through to harvest, he said. repairing ailing spacecrafts was also proposed at the meet ing. E. J.

Some Chemicals Said Ineffective Dr. L. E. Centner, Southern Oregon Experiment Station, reports parathion and mala lhion are no longer effective for control of pear psylla. These two chemicals may be added to TEPP, toxaphene, cthion, and diazinon on the fast growing list of chemicals to which psylla have develop ed a resistance. Dleldron is still - working locally but reported failures have come from Washington and California. The organic phosphate Guthion is still the one bright spot in the organic phosphate picture of psylla control. Experimental plots at the station as well as on growers' orchards show the addition of oils to organic phosphates greatly Improves control. Work is being done with' oil In combination with mala lhion and cthion and diasinon in an effort to improve their control sufficiently for grow ers' use. flated with gases fed from a mother ship or other sources Inside, comfortably suited men could work in a life-sustaining atmosphere.
