The country people had lots and lots of meetings last
week and we managed to attend all of them-about four all
told. . '
These were the Cal-Ore Hereford association, June Dairy
Month promotion dinner, Jackson County Stockmen's associa
tion and the South Talent Homeowner's Protective associ
ation. The Jackson County Stockmen's dinner meeting Thurs
day night drew over 100 cattlemen and their families. Sev

Often, because a man is in business, people tend to over
look the many extra things he does free of charge to help
the people he does business with and the community. Such
Speaking of milk and dairymen, a dairyman and his
wife took a brief vacation in southern California a couple
of weeks ago. They could hardly wait to get back to their
dairy farm. "It may be confining, but it is a lot better than
try to raise our kids on a handkerchief size lot and fight
ing aH that traffic." Mrs. Dairyman said. "This way there
is plenty of room for our boys to grow, and plenty for them
to do, too. I would go crazy if we were penned up like they
are down south!"
a man is Bill Bray, owner-operator of the Midway Auction
yard. Bill has donated his services to many a 4-H sale and
sweated out lots of feeder sales in this county when too many
cattle was rushed in at the last minute.
Yes, plans for June Dairy Month promotion are already
underway, guided by dairyman George Holt, a veteran; in
such things. If you have any ideas, see George out Phoenix
way. He'll need lots of help. Big weakness in past pro
motions is that it has turned into a one-man job. In fact,
it looks right now as if Jackson county won't even have
a dairy princess contest for the same reason. The same few
people become tired carrying all the load year after year.
Sunday,, we visited our local Grange for dinner. The
food was good and bountiful. And whichever woman canned
the pickles, should have taken the blue ribbon at the county
fair. The only thing which disturbed us was that a local
undertaker served the food. For those people who are
chronically fussy about their food he might have carried a

Much of what we heard Tuesday had been told many
times befote. The posters and banners were more artistic
and colorful and. the pitch was somewhat different. Now,
instead of aiming at one month, promotions are keyed to
all seasons of the year. Some dairymen believe the only
effective campaign is one which boosts milk sales. Others
feel all dairy foods should be promoted. This difference
of opinion must be overcome somehow before a unified, ef
fective promotion can be achieved. All dairymen and proc
essors will have to put their shoulders to the wheel.
The dinner meeting was sponsored by the Oregon Dairy
Council, which is a non-profit health education organization
devoted to establishing the nutritional importance of milk
and its products to the health and welfare of the citizens
of this area, according to the official brochure. This organi-.
zation and the American Dairy Council took a beating from
an article published in Time magazine and condensed in the
Reader's Digest for April. . -
Incidentally,, the new trend is to installing milk dis
pensers in homes. There are a few bugs yet to be worked
out, but this should be convenient for the youngsters and
the housewife. Maybe even the family cat could learn how
Ho press the right buttons. v , ''
, Essentially, the article indicated that dairy foods may
contribute to heart trouble and hinted a diet without dairy
products was a good heart trouble preventive. There seem
to be good pro and con arguments on both sides of the ques
tion. None of the proof offered is conclusive. ,
As a result all dairy promotion-advertising was immedi
ately removed from the Reader's Digest advertising sched
ule by the ADA. As was pointed out Tuesday night, this
was probably a weak move. Strong advertising should have

We asked the dairymen and representatives of the Oregon
Dairy Council why they didn't get milk dispensing machines
into the schools to meet competition from soft drinks. They
answered that there is some objection to installing such
machines when the schools sell milk much cheaper through
the special lunch programs. If a youngster is thirsty, for
something more than water, he could just as well draw a
paper cup full of milk as something not as good for him.
Sounds like more dairymen should get on local schoolboards
and force the issue.
s We became reacquainted with Oscar Hagg, Oregon
State college dairy marketing specialist. Oscar is on the
road much of the time, but never seems to show the wear
and strain of his many meetings and dinners. . He also oper
ates a ranch. He says he keeps three complete sets of every
thing he needs for traveling so he is never caught short.
The snow storm Friday knocked out some Ashland tele
phone circuits and stopped a local fruitgrower from calling
out all of his orchard heating crew. So, he called a con
veniently located cattleman about 3 o'clock in the morning.
The stockman had offered to help before, and1 kept his word
despite wading through knee-high wet grass, snow dropping
down the back of his neck and the freezing temperatures.
Then the cattleman invited the heating crew and. pearman
into his kitchen for hot coffee.
This is the heart-warming kind of tale we like! to tell.
This fruitgrower has contributed much to public service proj
ects and he and' many of his fellows serve on school boards
and various committees in spite of the long hours they have
to put in on their own work. . . . - ,- i
The Friday night meeting in the Talent city hall was to
organize the fight against establishing a large wrecking yard
in the area south of town. It was a town meeting which
brought a lot of Talent area people out- who never attend
schoolboard meetings or other community affairs. We hope
they continue their meetings to improve their community
long after they solve this particular problem. This is the
first time in at least 15 years that the town has gathered
so many together. , . ,
Sunday, we drove along the highway slowly to see what
shape the Talent area is in. After observing a number of
unsightly roadside businesses, we concluded a town beauti
fication has quite a job cut out. As a start, Talent should
challenge Phoenix, which also has a bad problem, to a con-

the most important fungicide
developed in its field in the past
50 years.
It is a new and unique fungi

Harry and Fred Ploy. "Scabby fruit costs the grower lots of money" says Fred.
"we use cyprex to do the best job we know how to control it'.'
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
redistribution. Without leaving
the original foliage unprotected,
some cyprex will splash from
leaf to leaf during a rain, extend-:
ing control to new growth.
' Because of its local-systemic
action, CYPREX protects the
entire leaf. Sprayed on an under
surface, it penetrates the leaf,
goes-through and protects the
upper surface as well.
CYPREX as an eradicant
application utilizes all the above
properties. It spreads and sticks

LILACS
Pruning
Pruning the lilac begins
when the flowers are cut for
decoration. Remove the flow
er with a good . length of
woody stem, cutting back to a
a side bud. This will cause
new shoots to develop below
the point where the cut is
made. If no flowers are cut
for , decoration, they should
be removed as described
above as soon as they fade.
Blight
This disease has been ob
served in this area and is
common when rainy weather
occurs during the develop
ment of the young shoots.
White flowering varieties ap
pear to be more susceptible
to this disease than the col
ored varieties. Examine your
bush for the following signs
of this bacterial blight: (1)
Limp and dark brown flow
ers. Sometimes the flower
buds are completely black
ened. (2) Black stripes on the
young shoots or one side of
the shoot blackened. (3) Im
mature leaves turning black
and quickly dying. (4) Spots
forming on large leaves.
These spots will run together
and create a water soaked
appearance.
Control
1 Control measures for the
bacterial blight of lilac are
as follows: (1) Prune out well
below the point showing in
fection all infected parts and
burn. (2) Thin out the plant
so as to provide good air
circulation. (3) Avoid excess
manuring and the application
of high , nitrogen fertilizers
(4) Spray with Bordeaux
4-4-100 as soon 1 as the dis
ease is detected.. . 1 .
Bordeaux
Bordeaux 4-4-100 is made
by mixing one ounce of cop
per sulfate in one gallon of
water, in ; an earthenware,
glass or wood container (do
not use a metal container)
and a little more than one
ounce of hydrated lime in a
second container. When both
solutions are thoroughly mix
ed pour the two together stir
ring constantly. The final so
lution should be a light blue
color. Use this solution Im
mediately. Keep, It agitated
as you spray. ...
GRAPES ' '
If your grapes have been
severely infected with mil
dew the past years, you had
better plan on the following
spray . schedule for control.
Dust - with sulfur or spray
with three heaping table
spoons of wettable sulfur in
three gallons of water when
the new shoots are eight
inches long. -
Repeat' this spray three
times at two week intervals
and again on September 1.
Where only a little, mildew
has been' present only the
first three sprays should be
necessary.
If purchasing new grapes,
remember the Concord type
of grape is resistant to mil
dew while the California type
grapes are badly affected.

Salem-Anlmal reactors to
leptospirosis, brucellosis and
tuberculosis show no sharp
change in March compared
with previous months accord
ing to Dr. A. G. Beagle, fed
eral veterinarian in charge
in Oregon. This is based on
reports by state - federal
teams.
In March, 15,532 cattle in
3,855 herds were tested for
brucellosis, with 138 reactors
found in 68 herds. Reports
show 18,035 calves vacci

the same month. In February
12,765 cattle in 1,110 herds
were tested with 54 reactors

7,030 cattle were tested in
486 herds with 10 reactors.
There was a rise in March
in reactors found In the lep

Where are most sales made? In ads, of course.
