MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, OREGON I urkey Marketing Vote in June, Details Outlined TUESDAY, APRIL 24. 1962 Corvallis Oregon turkey I with the Oregon State Univer- producers will vote between June 18 and 22 on a proposed national marketing order for turkeys. Dates for the nation al referendum among growers in all states except Alaska and Hawaii were announced by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman. To pass, growers must ap prove the proposal by at least two-thirds of those voting, ei ther by number or by volume of production. If approved by the growers and made effec tive by Secretary Freeman, it will be the first marketing order program to be operated on a nationwide basis for any farm commodity. A meeting for Oregon grow ers to study the referendum is being planned for May un der the sponsorship of the Oregon Turkey Improvement a s s o c i a tion in cooperation AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY Reasonable Rates VALLEY AVIATION Medford Airport CALL SP 3-3338 sity Cooperative Extension Service and the Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva tion service, according to N. L. Bennion, OSU extension poultry specialist. Tentative Date Tentative date for the meet ing is May 29 in Salem. Dur ing the meeting, procedures in voting will be outlined, the ballot reviewed and ques tions will be answered con cerning the order, Bennion said. A total of 250 Oregon grow ers have received info-mation from the Oregon ASCS office in regard to the proposed or der, reports Arnold Bodtker, executive director of the ASC state committee. There was no attempt to break down the mailing list into those who would be affected and those who would not, he added. In 1961, turkey production brought $6,620,000 in gross income to Oregon producers. The marketing order for meat turkeys, as recommend ed, would be operated by an Industry nominated advisory board of growers and handlers (processors) and would pro vide for use of supply manage ment measures when price stabilization is needed by pro ducers. The order would provide for supply management meas ures at the handler level through a "set-aside" provi sion and, after 1962, through the establishment of "desira ble quantity" allocation bases and allotments. Two significant changes in the proposed order also have been announced. The first would change the base period SINATRA GETS KEYS Tokyo-IUPU-American singer Frank Sinatra was given the keys to the city of Tokyo Monday for donating about $25,000 to the city's children's homes and orphanages. Sina tra turned over to Gov. Royo taro Azuma the proceeds of three of his sell-out perform ances in Japan. for determining allocation bases in 1965 and thereafter from the average of the high est marketings of the previous three out of four years to us ing the average marketings of the preceding three years. The second change is that producer-growers, who pro duced turkeys with contract producers who assume or share the risk of loss, will Sheep Clinic Set For Saturday A Jackson county sheep clinic sponsored by the exten sion service will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, April 28 at the Jackson county fair grounds south of Medford. . Anybody interested in sheep is invited. The clinic will cover diseases, parasite control, dockiiig and castrat ing in the morning. The after noon session will be on judging.

LEI MOTORS 5th and Bartlett 12th and Riverside ways - first by the competi tion to the crop, cutting down yield, and by lowering qual ity of food value when used as silage. This being the case, several means of weed control are available and may be con sidered. Some herbicides are used pre-emergent to weeds and corn. Others work best if applied at emergence of weeds and crop. Contact sprays after weeds are up and when the crop is at a stage tolerant to the treatment. Some of these treatments are more effective on specific weed problems. Perennial and annual grass problems in corn would naturally require dif ferent treatment than if a broadleaf weed was the prob lem. In knowning what weeds were possibly present last year may indicate the treat ment for this year's control measures. Different fields therefore may require differ ent considerations for weed control. Proper seed bed prepara tion, fertilization and pos sibly irrigation will aid greatly in assuring a good stand. Weed control measures taken before the problem gets out of hand will assure a profitable yield. . Sweet Corn The above mentioned pre cautions hold true in the case of sweet corn as well. Some of the hybrids in sweet corn are much more susceptible to treatments for weed control. In the case of broadleaf weeds controlled by 2,4-D sprays, in sweet corn this is not recommended, but if the problem is such to warrant treating, drop nozzles should be used to prevent the spray from hitting the crown or whorl of the corn plant. Sweet corn should be 12 inches tall and not over one-half pound active material per acre in 10 gallons of water. Pre-emergence and residual sprays are also available for sweet corn. Care must be used to see that soil prepara tion is good and moisture is available for the best results. Some chemicals require be ing incorporated into the soil before planting. Such is the case if Eptam is used. This should be done immediately after Hie spray is applied. Atrazine is commonly used in sweet corn for weed con trol and has worked well. A caution here would be to plan a crop following the corn that is tolerant to the Atrazine treatment if corn isn't to be planted again. By knowing your problem, planning to cope with it. reading the label and follow ing the directions, corn can be grown practically weed free. FROM THE GROUND UP. By BART BARTLETT MORE CASH FOR YOUR APPLES AND PEARS WHEN YOU USE CYPREX Cyprex' s long-lasting control helps you acoid scab worries without costing you a dollar extra for the season's schedule No other fungicide has delivered commercial performance to equal CYPRKX in scab protectant and erad icant programs the past three sea sons in western orchards. Experience has shown that cyfrex is the most economical for the season's program because it is more effective . . . lasts longer. cyprkx at the 'j lb. rate outlasts other materials on the foliage... gives you 28 to 30 hours of unbeat able scab eradication, or kick-back action, if it's needed, cyprkx also provides powerful flexibility for your program. By merely increas ing the dosage to 1i lb. per 100, you extend the period of eradication up to 4 hours. How Cyprex works to protect your crop investment cvi'KLX spreads a protective film over the leaves that slicks... pene trates. ..redistributes on new growth. Even if cyprex hits only one side of a leaf, it is absorbed into and moves throughout the entire leaf to kill scab spores that land on either surface. The protective film, plus the heal systemic action of CYPREX makes it last for days through heaviest rains. And CYPREX keeps on protecting the crop even after the fruit is in storage. CYPREX is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides. Cyprex dust formulations CYPRtx is now also available in dust formulations and has proven to be the most effective dust against scab. It is especially suited for air appli cation during prolonged rainy periods when ground rigs cannot enter the orchard. It can also be used effectively throughout the sea son's scab program, with ground equipment.

To Conduct Referendum The Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Service will conduct the referendum and county ASCS offices will be the polling places. Voters, along with indicating whether they do or do not favor the proposal, must show on their ballots their volume of mar keting in 1961. Eligible to vote in the ref erendum will be producers whose annual volume of pro duction is large enough to be affected by the order and who raised turkeys in 1961. Quali fied cooperation associations are eligible to vote for their members. Turkey growers Ineligible to vote are those who pro duced and marketed less than 3,600 pounds of turkey (live weight) in 1961 or producer handlers who produced and handled not more than 100, 000 pounds of .turkey (live weight) in their own facilities and who bought or sold not more than 5,000 pounds from or to other persons. A 7 Chase Herd Rated Tops In February Testing pounds of butterfat for 39 1 duced 1.191 pounds of milk, The herd of Glenn and Edna Chase, Gold Hill, placed number one among the five top herds, according to the February test results of the Jackson County Dairy Herd Improvement association. The Chase herd of 33 cows produced an average of 1,062 pounds of milk and an aver age of 41 per cent of butterfat with 1.73 per cent dry cows. C. C. and Sadie Williams, Ashland, had the top cow for the month, Spic, which pro duced 2,559 pounds of milk and 159 pounds of butterfat for 31 days in milk. The Williams herd also ranked close to the Chase herd with 41 cows producing 931 pounds milk average and 41 per cent butterfat; 14.37 per cent were dry. Don Geren, Eagle Point, ranked third with his herd of 45 cows producing an average of 959 pounds of milk and 41 per cent butterfat; 12.17 per cent of the herd was dry. John DeYoung, Applegale, had 33 cows producing 912 pounds average of milk and 36 per cent butterfat with 8.90 per cent dry. Victor Birdseye, Medford, had 133 cows producing an average of 662 pounds of milk and 35 per cent butterfat aver age; 14.71 per cent were dry. Among the ten top cows, Gilman's dairy ranked third with No. 99B producing 2,416 pounds of milk, 97 pounds of butterfat for 60 days in milk. It also ranked fourth with cow No. 52B producing 1,786 pounds of milk, 89 pounds of butterfat for 67 days In milk. Bill and Jo Hubbard's cow, Ada Junior ranked fifth with 2,143 pounds of milk, 86 pounds of butterfat for 29 days in milk. Glenn and Edna Chase's Liz produced 1,995 pounds o f milk, 84 pounds of butterfat for 30 days in milk. Geren's No. 467 produced 2,094 pounds of milk, 78 Dealers Opposed To S5.92 Price Due to the exceptionally bright weather most econom ic plants of this area are show ing an unusual growth phase. Both flowering and folia tion characteristics are more nearly of the normal pattern expected of these plants when they are growing in a favor able habitat. This fact is the basis for the calculation that favorable circumstances about one half of the recom mended fertilizer will be suf ficient. Therefore, guessing one half of the recommended amount is justified because if the season is favorable, and one half can be saved, it is an economic advantage that should not be ignored. This subject has become overworked, but a few more wise words about weeds seems in order. Knotweed now has two primary leaves and is at its easiest stage for control. Consult a reliable seed or chemical sales repre sentative for control material and advice as to Its use. Poison Oak Poison Oak is best control led by Ammate or Amino Tri. azole as the hormone type sprays such as 2.4-D or 2,4,5-T do not do a very good job of control on this toxic weed pest. Slugs may be giving some trouble in both floral and veeetable plantings. A slug bait can be obtained from your seed dealer. Young newly planted trees and shrubs should be care fully watered during their first season. Early cultivation of orchard soils gave an advantage in that some of the frost hazard was removed by the exposure of the bare soil to daily sun shine. As the orchard trees came into full leaf this ad vantage will disappear as the shaded soil will not receive the necessary solar radiation to retain heat for night time release. Wilderness Areas It's too bad that the money spent for wilderness areas is not more fully utilized near er populated areas. On the one hand we are clearing nat ural wilderness areas along the banks of creeks and lakes to permit more people to util ize less and less of a natural resource. It seems practical to let each user develop his own parking place, etc. Then the hardships of the entire deal would discourage the op portunist who will eventually want his fish cleaned and frozen. There will be no discus sion of the political crops (wheat, corn, etc.) in this col umn. Every tax payer should object strongly to public funds being expended in research and the resulting Information being publicized on such crops. When there Is a surplus due to the expenditure 'of pub lic funds no more of the same should be spent to aid in a further production In crease. There is nothing so constant as change!
