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. ;. .

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

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).

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

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.

PUSSY WILLOW
The Pussy Willow is more
commonly used as a source of

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

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. . - . .. ,. .. V

" 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.

authorities for further information.
