No racing will be held on Sun day. The starting gate is on the track and is being used now to school the - hoses. Everyone planning to race his horse is welcome to use the gate. "If you have a horse that you think has some speed get him ready, we will need all ie race horses we can et" a show official advised, "We win nave a man that can grade horses so we will have some real tight finishes on the races. Other Quarter Horse Nawa Delbert Terry was appoint ed to fill the director vacancy in the Medford area left by j-cuu norm, Asmand. The Norrls family has moved to Arizona where it has pur chased some property. They iuuk aiong ineir AA stallion Real Hug and some good mares. Some of the tnn hinnri. lines in the nation are repre- emeu m mis nera, some are till for sale. ' The State of Jefferson Quar ter norse association will sponsor at least two shows each year. It will also try to persuade at least two shows each year. It will also try to or other shows which the as sociation can help out on. A complete Quarter Horse show may be held with the annual Fourth of July rodeo in the Klamath Falls area. Also, Ralph Cook is planning a Show In Eugene this summer. a partnership show with the Siskiyou county fair. The plan is to hold shows with all the county fairs possible. (The Jackson county fair apparent ly has no suitable place for a track or horse show area.) The first annual stallion parade sponsored in Grants Pass by the association was reported a huge success with horses and people here from Portland to Eureka. Twenty- eight stallions were shown. The association secretary still needs lists of horses from each of the members and what is being done with these horses. Jim Wilson has purchased Glory Gal, mother of War Glory AA and a 1958 filly by Topper and out of Peppy Lena from Norrls. George and Bar bara Pearson, Trail, bought a 1959 colt sired by Mt. Crest Tex and out of Glory Gal and a 1960 colt by Pat's Pepper out of a granddaughter of Cat echu, also both out of the Norrls herd. Tom Hamilton, Ashland, took three head from the herd, Black Pepper, 1960 colt by Pat's Pepper and out of Top Lady C, Cocoa May,1 1959 filly by Cocoa Billy and out of Cinnamon Sue and a 1958 filly named Stoody Belle, sired by Topper and out of Ready Tip, a double breed daughter of Miss Redwing, the dam of Tiptop. Joe Burrow bought three head, a 1959 filly by Mt. Crest Tex out of Ready Tip, , Top Lacy C by Topper out of Pa. nela, in foal to Pat's Pepper and Ready Tip's foal of 1960 by Pat's Pepper. Lonnte Var- ner bought Redburn, 1960 colt by Pat's Pepper and out of Ada Blanton, and a 1959 colt by Pat's Pepper and out of Top Lady C. All of these are out of the Norrls herd. Delmer Terry reported the Radiation Seen In Garden Seed, Ag Dept. Notes . Salem - Atomic radiation Is showing up in racks of garden and flower seed packets this sorlnal But no one needs to get alarmed, for it's all on the around 300 to ' 360 pounds following sales: Dusty Man ners granddaughter of Devil Dust and Lucky Cindy sired by a son of Star Duster and out of a granddaughter of Lucky Blanton. Berino Riz- zardo of Montague, Calif., paid 91,690 for Dusty Man ners and $1,400 for Lucky Cindy. Harold Schafer of Coos Bay bought Donna's Jacket by Black Jacket and out of Don na Lee Martin. The spring show judge has agreed to judge all horses as to quality and not size, This means if a yearling was good enough to be junior champion and was a better individual than the senior champion then the junior champion should be the grand champion.

Champ Spud Grower From Jackson Co. Herman Kamping, who works for Otto Bohnert, seed and vegetable grower in the Central Point -area, is called the "potato, champ of Ore gon", by R. J. McGinnls in the summer issue of The Farm quarterly magazine.. . McGinnls. uom 1111, re cently retired from the edl. torlal staff of the farm pub lication and now lives in Gold Hill. . , Kamping raises his prize potatoes on rented land in the Medford and Central Point areas. He has an array of ribbons, citations and sil ver mugs for the high qual ity of potatoes entered in var ious fairs. He sells all nis crop from his own warehouse, taking a. double profit on growing and selling, accord ins to the McGinnls article. This year, tne pieasani- faced farmer raised one of nis biggest crops, averaging more than 21 tons per acre. He received peak market prices of $5 and $6 a hundred for the entire crop. Averaging $4.50 per hundred, an acre grossed ninv$z,izi.. rnis gave good tide, says the state de- sold for $90 to $110 per head. partmant of agriculture. The department's seed in enactors - in ? their ; routine pickup of seeds for germlna tlon and other tests for seed law compliance - have run across packets from Tennes see bannered "atomlc-ener- gized." . .These seeds have been ex- posed to gamma rays - but not radioactive. ; But you can't plant them and expect a crop of onions, for example, this year. Not if you carry out the Idea of the "atomic" seeds, which is to plant and harvest dry seed for a three-year period until you come up with a permanent Change or mutation, Changed Shapes In other words, If you plant a seed and expect to come up, carrying out the onion exam. pie, with a normal item of the specified variety, you may come up with changed shapes, different color, changed growth hablts-and what have you. The "atomic" seeds sell for eight or ten times the seed packet gardeners have bought for years. This puts them in the experimental and hobby class. The department Is looking at the seeds from the stand point of compliance with ger mination and purity testing. The federal government, too. Is keeping a close eye on ir radiated seed In Interstate commerce. The seed branch of USDA's grain division has advised Hugh Taylor of the Oregon's department's plant division that it is particularly Interested in "any advertising concerning . irradiated seed" observed in Oregon. Strawberry Pest Needs Controls 1 County Agent David Passon noted today that the straw berry leaf roller is active now. He recommends a dust or spray of malathton immedi ately. If using dust use a mixture of 9 per cent malathton, he suggested. This should be ap plied at the rate of 50 pounds per acre or two pounds of a 25 per cent mixture per 100 gallons of water In a spray. The pure food and drug ad ministration allows applica tion up to three days before the harvest. Growers should watch the. effect of the first spray before applying It again. To prevent moths In new carpets, scrub the floor with a strong salt solution before laying the carpet. Sprinkling salt on the carpet before sweeping helps destroy moths while it brightens the colors J alaans the rug. , ' , Holstein steers were in strong demand and sold from $IB to $20.75. Good Hereford cows with calves sold from $237 down to $196 per pair with several pens selling at $207.50 to $213 per pair. Medium good cows with calves brought $165 to $187.50. A Den of "real good" springer heifers sold for $201 per head. . xne, slaughter cow market was quite strong, Bray re marked. Standard cows brought $18 to $19.50. Utility White face cows sold $16 to $17.30. Utility Holstein cows $16. Heavy' cutters brought $14 to $15.70. Light canner cutter cows $12 to $13.80. Some of the price rise on these cows was due to their long stand and resultant weighing condition. Seven butcher bills 'sold from $18.50 to $20.40. "We are sorry that space does not permit a detailed report on all classes of stock sold in the sale, bi.t it you would like further informa tion please call me at NOr mandy 4-2213," Bray con cluded.

Banquet Slated By Crater FFA I Central Point The Crater Future Farmers of America chapter will hold Its annual parent and son banquet Wednesday, April 12, at 7:30 p.m., Chapter Advisor Ed Griggs announced. Guest speakers will include Don Reed, state 1 FFA presi dent from Halfway, Ore,; Ernest Bolz, state FFA treas urer from Phoenix, and Dave Foote, past state FFA report er from Crater chapter. Crater FFA President Don Denning Is general banquet chairman. He will also be the master of ceremonies. Other banquet committeemen are Dave Foote and Alan Bray, food, Willie Debrick, decora tions. Bob Butcher, sound and electrical work. Several awards will be made to members at the ban quet who have been outstand ing in various fields of agri culture. These awards Include five FFA foundation awards, the Safeway initial project awards and outstanding shop awards tor beginning agri cultural students. Highlight of the evening's program will be the naming of the star farmer for the Crater chapter. The 1961 honorary members will be announced during the ban quet program. Entertainment for the ban quet will be provided by 'The Shadows," Medford vo cal quartet and the "Lava- Hera of Crater high school, and Sherman Kiger, of the Crater FFA chapter. Farmer Recovers $113 Through Ag Inspector's Work 1 Salem-A 'Willamette valley man-thougH this,, could ; hap pen anywhere ; in Oregon made a causual remark the past week in the presence of Gordon Schwalen, Salem. . The farmer merely said something to the effect that he "couldn't get a red cent for $113 worth of produce" he had sold. . Part of Schwalen's work is on the produce law enforce ment detail for the state de partment of agriculture. And a little known feature of the Oregon produce law provides the department may attempt to settle controversies be tween farmers who sell and produce dealers who buy from them. ' In the case in point, the farmer knew he'd delivered a load of vegetables worth $113 to a wholesale produce dealer. The dealer denied receiving the produce and wouldn't let the farmer see his invoice slips for the day the farmer claimed to have made the de livery. ; Contact Dealer Schwalen contacted the pro duce dealer, received friend ly cooperation in his request to look at his dally records on unloads, ' Net result: the farmer got his $113. Farmers caught in the same position as this one should make contact as soon as pos sible with the state depart ment of agriculture's division of plant industry at Salem. The state produce dealer's act requires wholesale dealers either must pay cash "on the spot ' for produce or they must have a $2,000 liability bond, the department points out. ;. . Garden Tips JOHN W. McLOUGHLIN , County Agent JUMPING OAK GALL Control of the Jumping Oak Gall may be obtained by the application of a DDT and Ma lathton spray at bud swelling in April and a second spray about the middle of May. Recommended rates are one pound of DDT and one pound of Malathton in 23 gallons of water. LAWNS Start off on the right foot and keep your lawns mowed at the proper height. Proper mowing will make your lawn more resistant to drought and invasion by weeds and disease. Set the cutting edge at a height of two inches and mow the lawn when the grass has grown one inch above this height (three Inches). By following tills practice the clippings may be left to form a mulch. This helps re duce evaporation from . the htm a net profit of $1,821 which the former Grange master figures is just about tops for any crop including the high-labor crops such as strawberries and asparagus. Biogest Secret Thef prize potato grower's Irrigation m a n a gement is probably his biggest secret, McGinnls notes. He uses the depth of water table as his guide when he has a water table. He likes to keep it at around 12 inches when he can. . ; . .. . Another guide is a soil squeeze test. If it balls up it's too wet and if it crum bles it's too dry. He doesn't irrigate until after the. first cultivation, then he. lets the dampness go up. the ridge about half way and stop. He likes his potatoes damp but never wet. Furrow and flood irrigation are used exclu s?vely. .: ...... - ' r The expert ' farmer stays away from nitrates in ferti lizer. These deform a potato, ne said. Also, unless manure has been on the ground three or four years it will cause scab, he explained. He ferti lizes only once. When harvesting,' Kamping plows out the potatoes start ing early in the morning. They are all picked arid out of the sun by 11 o'clock. During the afternoon he washes and sorts them. Or ders are filled according to priority. - .. . Kamping has tested pota toes from all over the U.S. and claims that Oregon spuds are tops for flavor, and text ure.- The potatoe grower figures nis limit is four or five acres. After that he would have to hire too much labor and run Into marketing, problems. Figures to Penny He can also tell to the penny how much a potato costs to grow. From the time he plows to the time they are sold, approximately $300 have been expended per acre, Kamping explained. This in cludes $70 for land rental in cluding water, $65 for seed, $zu lor lertuizer, $10 for In secticides and the rest for ma chinery use and labor. The reason everybody isn't raising potatoes is because they don't know how to get both high yields and quality. Also,: good potato land is scarce. Considering market problems, a man who grows a big crop on large acreage will have to sell through a dealer and compete with Idaho, Michigan and Maine potatoes in the national mar ket. All Kamping's potatoes are sold locally. He feels the Red Pontiac is the best variety of 'potato for Rogue valley soils and climate. It is symmetrical, smooth at the eyes and will bake as well as the famous Idaho baker. soil surface and adds organic matter to the lawn. PUSSY WILLOW The Pussy Willow is more commonly used as a source of cut flower rather than for a garden or landscape effect. To encourage long shoots for next winter's arrangement cut the willows back to six Inches from the ground Immediately after flowering. , : r6se APHIDS Often the aphid predators such as the lady bird beetle as well as the aphids'are killed by spraying with Insecticides. Tilts means a regular spray program must be followed to control aphid damage through the season. By hosing the aphlds off the plants with a strong, fine wa ter spray, we will kill the aphlds and will also give the natural predators a chance to become established which will then give control. BRILL METAL WORKS Commercial Industrial Residential Sheet MtUlvWotk , Stainless, Galvanised ' and Copper Fabrication 2287 West Main PHONt SP 2-4440 Orchard Grass Said Highly Desireable By EUGENE WINTERS County Agent Orchard grass is one of the most desirale irrigated pas ture and hay grasses to seed In Jackson county, but only on well drained land. It is considered highly palatable, is a high forage producer and under adequate moisture cond itions does not go into a sum mer dormancy period like per ennial rye grass. Orchard grass seedings de velope rather fast and being shade tolerant is ideal for use in mixtures. It is compatible with legumes. The drawbacks of orchard grass are its su sceptibility to leaf spot and rust and it must be cut in early stages of growth for hay or silage. Considerable variation ex ists among the different varie ties as to height, leaf iness and date of maturity. Most of the common commercial seed is from the coarse early types. This type is usually the high est seed producer, with more desirable varieties prpducing lesser yields of seed per acre resulting in higher prices for seed of the recommended var ieties. , Three varieties' adapted to use in Jackson County are Potomac,. Akaroa and S-143. Two varieties showing pro mise in other areas and with limited seed supplies are La tar and Pennlate. -Receives Most Acceptance Akaroa orchard grass has received the greatest growers' acceptance in the County. It is a- low growing, leafy, fine stemmed late maturing varie ty. Growth data of the South ern Oregon Branch Experi ment Station show that Aka roa was in the late boat stage ten days after the Potomac variety was headed out. S-143 was in the early boat stage at the same time. Yield data from the Hanley station re ported by Agronomist John Yungen show that in four cuttings made April 28, Aug. 18 and Oct. 5. Akaroa was second to Potomac in total yield of forage of the orchard grasses grown. Potomac orchard grass is an early, tall growing, leafy va riety. .. ' ; S-143 orchard grass was de veloped In Wales and is con sidered a late maturing pas ture type With broad leaves. Latar is a late maturing vigorous type with abundant, broad, light green leaves. This variety matured later than Akaroa at the Hanley station in 1960 as well as at the Ore gon Experiment station near Corvallis. Seed will be more readily available for plant ing this fall or the spring of 18HZ ...... Pennlate orchard grass is a vigorous, persistent, late ma turing variety that has shown considerable promise in other areas. Seed is not readily available. . Orchard grass is normally seeded in well prepared seed beds at the rate of six or seven pounds per acre. Lad Jno Clover with orchard grass has been the highest produc ing pasture mixture locally. Ladlno is seeded at abut two pounds per acre. These rates are for well drained irrigated land with an adequate supply of water and under usual conditions. win lurnisn a pasture mixture of about 40 per cent legume and 60 per cent grass. This is a desired mixture to reduce the bloat hazard. Farmers Okayed For Supports Most Jackson County farm ers will be eligible for price supports of 1961 barley and oats under the new emer gency feed grain act, accord ing to Vernon Gebhard, mem ber of . the Jackson County Agricultural, S t a b i lization and Conservation committee. The exception are farmers who grew any amount of corn or grain sorghum in 1959 or 1960 or who plan to grow corn or grain sorghum this year. These farmers, to qual lf; for price supports, will have to reduce acreages of these crops under the pro visions of the act. Those who grew or will grow corn for silage or green fodder are affected as much as those who produce corn for grain. . Farmers who didn't grow corn or grain sorghum the past two years and don't grow these crops this year can plant and harvest as much feed grain as they like and still participate in the price support program, There are no acreage con trols on barley, oats and rye this year.

Peach Spray Set For Borer Pest Spray to control peach twig borer should be applied im mediately to all peach trees in the Rogue valley, County Agent David Passon advised today. ' The larvae are forming and are active on young shoots. This insect pest attacks the vigorous shoots on the young trees then moves into the fruit via the stem end later, he ex plained. The county agent advised 50 per cent DDT at 10 pounds per acre when using the dust and two pounds per 100 gallons of water when using a spray mix ture. After being dormant for some years the borer gave local growers considerable trouble last year, Passon ob served.' This -Insect seems to work in cycles. Another spray may be needed to insure ade quate control, he added. When cattle start chewing wood, dirt, manure or clothes off the line, it may be a sign they are not receiving enough stock ' salt along with their feed. . - . .. ,. ..

North SP 3-3160 BEST BUY FOR SCAB CONTROL ON APPLES AND PEARS Hood River Valley grower tells how CYPREX 65-W f ungicide stopped heavy scab last year . . . will use full CYPREX program in 1961 - . i SIM' I 3 4 i " sprayed my apples with cyprsx . . . two days later the scab was completely stopped" says Ross F. Hukari, shown beside some of the select nursery stock h has propagated. ! The worst scab in 40 years hit Hood River Valley orchards last year. The heaviest attack was on Newton apples . . . even on trees that had been treated with other commonly used scab sprays. Growers looked anxiously for answers on how they could save their Newtons. Ross F. Hukari was one of the growers who had the answer. His first use of the phenomenal new fungicide, CYPREX 65-W, had been on pears. It burned out scab in a hurry. So he applied a cyprex treatment on apples, and two days later the scab was com pletely stopped. "I'm convinced" that CYPREX is my best buy for pear and apple scab control," says Hukari. "Early cyprex sprays are espe cially important. It is much easier to stay ahead of scab than to catch UP once you get behind. So, in 1961 I'll use my first CYPREX spray on apples and pears pre-bloom . . . then every 10 to 12 days through scab infection period." Why CYPREX can stop scab even under conditions that favor the disease Authorities have called cyprex the most important fungicide developed in its field in the past 50 years. It is a new and unique fungicide that actually combines both of the important properties a scab control material can have. It is an outstanding' protectant. ..with eradicant action even at M pound per 100 gallons. At of a pound, the dosage used in the Northwest, oypbbx is a full-fledged eradicant with a back action (or kick back) of from 36 to 48 hours from the beginning of a scab rain. Used as a protectant, cyprex puts a tough fungicide barrier on the surface of the leaf. Because of built-in spreader-sticker action, it disperses and covers and sticks. A rather remarkable feature of cyprex is its property of redistribu tion. Without leaving the original foli age unprotected, some cyprex will splash from leaf to leaf during a rain, extending control to new growth. Because of its local-systemic action, cyprex protects the entire leaf. Sprayed on an under surface, it pene trates the leaf, goes through and pro tects the upper surface as well. cyprex as an eradicant application utilizes all the above properties. It spreads and sticks and penetrates to burn out established scab before it gets a foothold ... killing spores that have germinated and started into the leaf. . cyprex is a remarkable scab control material, and its combination of advantages made the difference between a fair crop and a good one for many growers last season, cyprex can not, however, perform miracles. It does not eliminate the need for reasonable timing, good coverage and sound orchard practice. Consult your local agricultural authorities for further information.
