Hoodlums Found
Slain in Chicago
Chicago -JEn- The slashed
and beaten bodies of two
hoodlums, apparently slain in
fanfland fashion weeks ago,
were found Monday night
tuffed in the trunl: of a neV
car on a residential street.
The victims, James Rocco
Mirsglia and John William
McCarthy, both 25 and of
Chicago, were to begin serv?
tag federal prison terms for
armed robbery today.
The killings brought to at
least eight the number of
gang-style assassinations in
the Chicago area this year,
and were the fifth and sixth
within the past three weeks.
Police answering com
plaints about the parked car
pried open the trunk to dis
cover the bodies, which were
lightly clothed and partially
decomposed.
Goats eat up to 12 pounds
of stock salt a year.

Meat Inspection
Not Hit by Trend
Salem - The economic
squeeze In the meat packing
in-" '.st.y - brought closer to
Oregon people recently when
the venerable Cascade Meat
company at Salem closed its
doors - should in no way af
fect the state meat inspection
program
This is the opinion of Dr.
M. L. Houston, supervisor of
meat inspection for the State
Department of Agriculture.
The Cascade Meat company
was one of the plants under
the federal inspection pro
gram. Most of the state-inspected
plants are small, specialized
operations, v--ich do not ap
pear to be affected by the
nationwide tendency toward
closure or consolidation into
larger operations. It was Hous
ton's observation that Ore
gon's smaller operations will
remain in a sounder position
economically thai' some other
segments of the meat indus
try. The only effect on state
meat inspection, from closures
si i as that of Cascade, could
be a larger labor pool of men
familiar with slaughterhouse
sanitation practices. Some of
these men could qualify as
trainees for meat inspection
positions, Houston stated.
Food Marketing
Charges Expected
To Be Unchanged
Washington -(DPP- The Agri
cultural department says that
charges for marketing farm
food products in the first
three months of 1962 were
about the same as in the last
quarter of 1961.
Consumer prices for farm
foods were up 1 per cent for
the period and farmers' prices
were up 3 per cent, the de
partment said in a review of
the marketing and transporta
tion situation.
Most of the rise in the aver
age level of retail and farm
prices was caused by higher
prices for fresh vegetables and
frying chickens. Unfavorable
weather reduced supplies of
several fresh vegetables in the
first quarter this year, causing
prices to rise sharply.
Received 39 Cents
Farmers received 39 cents
of the dollar consumers spent
for farm foods in the first
quarters of this year. This was
1 per cent more than in the
previous quarter.
Prices in the quarter just
ended, however, were lower
than a year earlier. Retail
prices of farm foods averaged
1 per cent lower than in January-March,
1961, and prices
farmers received for these
products were down 2 per
cent. Marketing charges were
about the same as in the first
quarter last year. The farm
er's share of the food dollar
was the same as a year earlier.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON
FROM
THE
GROUND
UP.
By BART BARTtETT
The weather pattern ac
cording to often repeated
comments is unusual for this
time of year for this area.
It seems that weather must
be one of the most unusual
of nature's pranks every sea
son. Almost never does one
hear the remark that weather
is normal. As expected, how
ever, the present weather is
very favorable for such in
sects as earwigs, aphids and
cutworms. Where earwigs are
a problem a light dusting of
50 per cent DDT or Chlor
dane should do a good job of
eradication of the pest. Mala
thlon, Parathion or Diazinon
sprays will control aphids.
Either Chlordane, DDT or
Sevin will control the com
mon garden cutworm.
This weather .also favors
certain plant diseases such as
mildew and fireblight. Pears
and apples are beyond the
stage of development where
mildew is most destructive,
but peaches can still be dam
aged by this disease. The
same is true for many rose
varieties. Frequent applica
tions of dusting sulphur is
perhaps the most economical
control for mildew on stone
fruits and ornamental plants.
Where some apple varieties
may need foliage protection,
Karathane is perhaps the pre
ferred material for mildew
control.
Frequently cattle are of
fered for sale at local markets
that are well covered by
crusty barnyard manure. In
this condition they present a
poor, unthrifty, sight to the
buyers and often are sold at
a discount as compared to
similar animals that are
clean. The owner of dirty
animals would do well to
spend a few minutes with a
water hose and curry comb
and clean up any livestock
that is to be offered for sale.
Lawns may have moss
growing in them. The best
control for this condition is a
rather liberal application of
agricultural lime. It would be
well to consult your favorite
seed dealer for material and
advice as to its use for the
control of moss in , lawn
grasses.
Old shingle roofs may have
a liberal growth of moss. The
moss can hasten the decay of
wood shingles. Where its re
moval is desired, it is best to
scrape away as much of the
mossy growth as nossible.
When this is done an aDDlica-
tion of copper sulfate solution
will prevent mossy regrowth
tor two or three years.
Some woody plants mav be
showing a tendency to bleed
or ooze gum or resin at cut
surfaces. In the case of neach
trees that have this condition.
there is usually no cause for
alarm. The gumming will stoo
after a few days of warm
growing weather. One would
have to see the bleeding of
other plants to give an ac
curate cause for the bleedine.
The season is at hand when
nets must be keot away from
the seed heads nf foxtail
plants to prevent them from
becoming a victim of foxtail
seeds in their ears, nose and
feet. The ensuing trios to the
small animal hospital can be
exnensive.
Do not make an application
of weedkiller to the weeds in
a lawn just orior to an ap
clication of irrigation water
by sprinklers. The results
may not be satisfactory if ir
rigation water is applied
within two days after a weed
spray was made.
Some ranchers are still try
ing to substitute water for
nitrogen fertilizer on pas
tures. If one half their ex
pense and effort in water ao-
pucations were diverted Into
nitrogen fertilizer, the results
would be more favorable in
terms of forae for livestock,
Like the effects of spring
time or of a bright sunrise, it
should give us all a boost of
morale to see that so many
fine people are offering to
look after our every need as
our elected public official.
They will send us tht bill
however.

Farmers Net Less I
Money as Average
In State Reveals
Corvallis - Caught between
rising costs and lower prices,
Oregon farms realized an av
erage net income of $2,418
last year, 1 per cent less than
the year before, according to
Mrs. Elvera Horrell, Oregon
State university extension
agricultural economist.
Oregon farmers, along with
those in most western states.
received less money for their
produce last year while costs
went up, Mrs. Horrell said.
Only Arizona, New Mexico
and Wyoming in the West had
net incomes per farm over
I960.
Cash receipts from farm
marketings in Oregon totaled
nearly $393 million for 1961,
3 per cent less than in 1960,
she noted. Basing her survey
on U.S. Department of Agri
culture reports and other In
formation, the economist said
that just over half the total
receipts came from crop sales,
while livestock and livestock
products made up the rest.
Government payments in
1961 added another $10.4 mil
lion to the cash Intake, about
$1.6 million more than in
1960.
Higher Costs
Although dollar figures
aren't yet available, prelimi
nary USDA reports show that
higher costs more than offset
a lower feed bill and a de
crease in depreciation and net
rent.
Total cash receipts from
farm marketings in the 11
western states ranged from an
8 per cent drop in Montana
to a 7 per cent increase in
New Mexico last year. While
California and Colorado re
mained the same, the average
drop for the region was one
per cent, she reported.
On the basis of total cash
receipts during 1961, Califor
nia ranked first and Iowa sec
ond in the nation. Oregon was
ranked 31st in cash receipts
among the states and 33rd In
realized net income per farm,
Mrs. Horrell said.
Nationally, both farm oper
ators' income and farm work
ers' wages climbed in 1961.
raising Income from farming
to the highest level since 1928.
The trend appears to be con.
tinuing into 1962 as tentative
estimates place January re
ceipts slightly above the same
month a year ago, she ob
served.

Wrong Requests Foul Up Refund 01
Salem-A thin little dime
can sometimes cause as much
gnashing of teeth as rain on
the Fourth of July. Ifyou
don't believe it, you don't
know about those beef promo
tion dimes.
An Oregon law requires
collection of a dime for beef
promotion on all cattle that
are brand Inspected. Owners
who say nix to beef promo
tion are entitled to get their
dime back, upon request (to
the Oregon Beef Council,
Portland) made within 90
days of inspection date.
Sometimes there's a hitch
and a few claimants don't get
their dime back in the normal
45-day processing and paying
period. So some of these few
spend a packet of dimes want
ing to know WHY. They write
to the beef council, to the
state department of agricul
ture which collects the dime
originally for remission to the
Council-and to other agen
cies. They're Irked. And it takes
much explaining to show that
per cent of the time the
trouble lies with the person
who wants the dime back.

a refund.
First off, every dime the
beef council handles is sub
ject to audit. This means no
refund until the department
can verify to the council from
its brand inspection records
that the dime was paid. Some
times, for example, an auc
tion yard pays the fee but the
animal is listed at brand in

because ownership title has
not changed hands. The own

his name isn't on the records.
