This U the tim of year when a fisherman likes te staad
on the bank of a stream and watch hit line carry a salmon
egg into a deep pool.
Some fishermen prefer worms. And this poses a problem
according to a letter printed in the Wall Street Journal. Sen.
Wallace F. Bennett, of Utah, quoted from this letter in the
Senate June 11.
'The fishing season will
some, but I can only view
sadness.
"My heart Just aches when I see our fine youths try
ing to sell worms to the fishermen. The fact that our chil
dren are becoming soiled with the greedy practice of
capitalism at such an early age is not the real problem.
"The crisis results from the greatly inadequate pay our
hard-working youths receive. The prices for worms today
are so low that a youth who Is selling worms simply doesn't
make enough money to cover the bare necessities his meager
status requires.
"Obviously the government must do something to al
leviate this terrible condition.
"The worm crisis stems basically from over-production.
Therefore, the government should establish price supports,
worm acreage controls and allotments, and some system to
pay youths not to harvest worms. A similar program solved
our farm problems Just beautifully. There is no reason to
think it wouldn't have similar success with the worm crisis."
With everything hanft'ng fire, we thought a little humor
might be appreciated. The letter is the type of thing that
Mark Twain or Samuel Clemens mignt nave written.
In the House the Kennedy farm bill melted down lo a
compormise proposal, but some In the Senate are opposed
to the compromise.
The measure coming out of the house would extend
present emergency controls on wheat and feed grains for
another year. However, Sen. Allen Ellender, (D-La.), Senate
agricultural committee chairman will have none of it. He
does not want an extension of the emergency grain programs.
The Senate has pasesed a bill similar to the one which
died in the House. It would clamp mandatory controls and
marketing quotas on wheat and feed grains. But, in return,
the House has declared it will not approve the Senate bill.
The emergency one-year wheat and feed grain programs
with voluntary controls expires this year unless replaced
by new legislation. With no replacing legislation the law
reverts to the 19S8 act of Republican Secretary of Agri
culture Ezra Taft Benson which would provide price sup
ports on any amount of grain produced.
On the Common Market nobody knows what Britain
or France will do. Britain seems on the brink of Joining,
but whether or not she will be able to bring in the Common
wealth is another question.
New Zealand Is a Commonwealth member. II she is
brought in with her dairy products there will be direct com.
petition within the Common Market with Holland. Ironically
the Dutch have been the
Britain's inclusion in the Common Market.
The Common Market problems now, more than ever,
seem to be agricultural agricultural commodities competing
with each other. The U. S. Is pushing Britain toward the
Common Market thinking competition will be good for the
stodgy British economy. However, the organized farmers of
Great Britain are edgy about losing any of their protectionist
trade walls.
The question of admitting Denmark to Common Market
membership is to be considered this week. The council of
ministers of ECM this week will also consider regulations
to put Into force parts of the common agricultural policy.
ThU would start July 1.
And, we also have the problem of admitting former over
seas territories in Africa. And how are the Asian members
of the Commonwealth to be safeguarded In their textile ex
port trade and other products for which Britain wants "nil
tariffs."
Turning to problems closer to home The time has come
for farmers and ranchers to seriously consider what place
recreation has for them. Outdoor recreation has developed
o rapidly that we now have a new federal bureau of out
door recreation.
This recreation made its major start on public lands and
chiefly In reservoir areas. Observe what has happened in
the Talent Irrigation project
the last two years. The overnight camping and fishing fa
cllities have drawn people from
to Howard Prairie. There Is good
and ranchers should have a
In effect, the farmers and ranchers are already In the
recreation business. The reservoirs at Howard Prairie and
Emigrant were constructed primarily for Irrigation. The
wateruscrs are gradually paying off the construction costs
through their water assessments. It Is true the farmers and
ranchera did not have to pay
at the reservoirs, but they are paying for the basic con
struction of the facilities-liie reservoirs themselves.
When Dr. Eward C. Crafts, director of the new bureau,
addressed the Izaak Walton League convention last week he
referred to souvenir gold coin being circulated at Redding.
It says "1862-1982 One Hundred Years From Mining to
Recreation." This, he said, Is symptomatic of the times.
We have been assured by recreation authorities that
recreation and the cattle business can exist side by side oh
public lands. Our hope is that the cattlemen In the state
and Rogue valley maintain a strong enough organization so
another coin Is not put Into circulation reading: "One Hun
dred Years From Cattle To Recreation."
Crafts said the recreation business Is the great hope for
economic Improvement of certain rural portions of this coun
try which are economically depressed. Until recreation de
velopment here becomes more comprehensive, we still think
lhat the year around expenditures for feed, fertilizer, and
necessities for the rancher's family provides a steadier and
more significant Income to an area than the thus far seasonal
one from recreation.
When you consider that livestock sales from Jan. 5. 1HH2
to May 18. 1962 grossed $940,740.90 In one auction yard here
this livestock income is significant. During the same period
in 1961 the same yard grossed $894,703.62. The total for the
entire year of 1961 was $2,601,586.62. This yard sold, during
1961: 2,491 head of sheep, 1,826 head of hogs, 193 head (
horses and 24,289 head of cattle. .
To cattlemen, the most significant part of the Izaak
Walton League session wai a speech by Assistant Secretary of
the Interior John A. Carver. He stresses the need for con
servation of grazing lands. But more of that next week.

Only Small Part

Only a small part of Ore
gon, like the rest of the con

has never received an appli
cation of the insect killing
chemicals, reports R. W. Ev

extension entomology special
ist. This is one of the points
made in a special study which
has Just been reported by the
Entomological Society of Am
erica. The society's survey show
ed that less than S per cent
of all the area in the 48 states
and less than 1 per cent of the
enormous acreage usually
considered important to wild
life is treated annually with
insecticides, Every said. The
same percentage, or possibly
even less, would hold true in
Oregon.
At least 75 per cent of the
entire U. S. area has never
received an application of in
secticides in all the years these
materials have been used, the
report estimates.
The fact that only a small
percentage of the land re
ceives insecticide applications
may come as a surpise to per
sons living in major agricul
tural areas, Every continued,
and in light of the fact that
insects annually cost Ameri

Most insecticides used in
Oregon are applied to crop
lands, with the heaviest uses
coming in the Willamette Val

areas to control insects on
vegetables, small fruits and
tree fruits, Every said. Other
uses Include mosquito con
trol, fighting grasshoppers and
crickets on rangelands and
for control of forest insects,
mainly the spruce bud worm.
Since much of Oregon s
land is in non-agricultural use,
even in years of heavy insect
outbreaks, insecticide applica

out.

Salem - More Oregon farm

Oregon will Join hands to tell
their self help story at the
1962 state fair and Pacific
International Livestock expo

Stockmen
To Talk With BLM Aug. 23
The directors of the Jack

feeder sale dates and discuss
ed a variety of other business.
The first fall feeder sale
will be held Oct. 10 at the
Rogue Valley auction yard in
Phoenix. The annual Cal-Ore
Hereford association's range
ready bull sale will he held
the following day, Oct. 11.
Eddie Meeker, Phoenix,
chairman of the bull sale
committee told the group.
The directors agreed that two
consecutive sales are apt to
draw more buyers.
In-Transit Temperatures
Studied for Bartletts
The effects of different
temperatures during transit
on ripening of early-season
Bartlett pears in rail cars are
reported in a marketing re
search report Issued by the
United States Department of
Agriculture.
The report applies to rail
cars with thermostatically
controlled refrigeration.
, If shipped under maximum
refrigeration, early pears,
which are firmer when har
vested than those shipped
later in the season, require 7
to 10 days after arrival to be
come ripe enough for the re
tail market. During this delay
additional shipments of pears
arrive and the accumulation
of supplies tends to depress
the market.
Thermostatic control, at
temperatures favorable for
initiating the ripening of the
pears during rail shipment,
is a way of controlling the
time required to ripen them
at the market.
Eating Ripe
Researchers in USDA's ag
ricultural marketing service
found that early pears with
initial firmness of 20 pounds
(as measured by the Magnus
Taylor pressure tester) were
eating ripe four days after
reaching New York when
shipped from California at
temperatures averaging 60 to
64 degrees fahrenheit.
Help Offered
Small Processors
Of Jams, Jellies
Salem - Oregon people
who are developing a market
for local agricultural prod
ucts through home or small
operations should contact the
state department of agricul
ture for advice on proper la
beling. This applies, of course,
to processed foods prepared
for sale.
Oregon's label laws require
definite information on all
processed foods, including
such items as jams, jellies,
juices or canned products.
J. r. Short, director of ag
riculture believes mama and
papa - type processing oper
ations can increase the mar
kets for Oregon products, par
ticularly in specialty fields.
As an aid to sales, lie urges
not only careful attention to
proper labeling but also strict
attention to sanitation require

If consumers can be is
surod that home - processed
products are prepared under
the most sanitary conditions,

Bull Sala Preparations
Don Nichols. Ashland, pub

Jackson county. The group
plans to examine a number of
Pears with initial firmness
near 18 to 19 pounds ripened
to the eating-ripe stage in
slightly over three days,
when shipped at average tem
peratures of 55 to 59 degrees,
the report shows.
It is typical O gon summer
weather, and it is has been
good for the hay farmer. The
hay farmers are quite pro
gressive in tens of how ra
pidly they are turning their
operation into one of total
mechanization. A drive
around to observe the various
methods of mechanical hay
handling is well worthwhile.
It is also worth repeating
that if the crop that was cut
for hay was of pale green
color and if a second cutting
is to be taken or if cattle are
to be pastured on the area, it
will pay well to use some ni
trogen fertilizer prior to the
first irrigation after the hay
has been removed.
The president's farm bill
suffered a detent. For some
farm operators the news was
bad, but for farmers in gener
al the defeat of this bill
should be applauded. In the
first place the federal govern
ment should not be involved
in farming as well as in a
few dozen other areas. Their
participating in agriculture at
the beginning, from their
standpoint was more political
than economical. In the first
analysis, it has become a mix
ture of both the political and
economical. The two combin
ed at this point to smell very
markedly of graft.
Not Intellectuals
The present and recent past
heads of the U.S. Agriculture
department not being of intel
lectual types in the genius
grouping have failed to keep
up with what their thousands
of hired hands were doing.
Therefore, it is seen that we
are uncovering huge swindles
and gross misuse of the lands
under the department's super
vision. It is not sufficient to
say the bureaucrats did not
know of such misdeeds. The
difficulty is the department
is too large to be fully under
stood by one man of average
intelligence. It should never
have been allowed to become
so large. It is not necessary.
There are no statesmen in
government anymore. What
we have today are politicians
and there is a vast difference
between the two fields of hu
man endeavor.

Jossy said he would try to

range specialist would be ask
ed to visit the ranges, discuss
their problems and condi

interested in setting up a

State Proposes
Meat Inspection
Rules' Overhaul
Salem - A proposed over
haul of Oregon regulations
governing meat Inspection at
packer, processing and retail
levels will be submitted to
consumers and industry at
three public hearings in July.
Dr. M. L. Houston, meat
inspection supervisor, says
the state department of agri
culture will hold the hear
ings at Medford on July 19,
Baker on July 24 and Salem
on July 27.
Hour and hearing place will
be announced later.
Also to be considered will
be proposals bearing on gen
eral sanitary provisions for
poultry and rabbit slaughter
plants as well as for red
meat establishments.
Laws under which the reg
ulations are authorized in
clude, besides stale compul
sory meat inspection, the gen
eral sanitation code, the meat
dealer licensing act and the
voluntary poultry inspection
act.
Thousands of Markets
The proposals involve oper
ations at several thousand re
tail meat markets, plus proc
essing plants and killing es
tablishments. For these hearings, the de
partment is proposing the
first major changes to the
state meat inspection regu
lations since the law went
into effect in 1957. The pro
posals are based on 1959 ad
1961 amendments to the law
and include changes which
the department believes ad
visable as result of expert
ence under the present regu
lations. Major Items In the depart
ment's proposals will be an
nounced as soon as copies of
the lengthy regulations are
available for distribution,
sometime before the first of
July.
All retail, processing and
slaughter businesses under
state license will be affected
by at least some phase of the
proposals.
By using crop dryers farm
ers can reduce field losses up
to 25 per cent, New Holland
says.

Western Soil
Map Near Ready
For Publication
Corvallis - A regional soils
map, with both educational
and commercial uses, is near
ing completion and is expect
ed to be published for Ore
gon and 10 other western
states next year, report two
Oregon State university soil
scientists.
When published, the map
will eliminate great gaps in
man's knowledge about soil
patterns in the West, point out
Dr. Ellis Knox and Dr. Gerald
Slmonson, soil scientists with
the OSU Agricultural Experi
ment station.
It is anticipated the map
will be used in geography and
soils classes. It also will be of
assistance in planning agricul
tural and forestry work as
well as in conservation proj
ects, such as watershed devel
opment, they note. It may also
point out areas where future
research is needed.
A "first" for the West, the
map, which was compiled by
experiment station scientists
and Soil Conservation Service
technicians in the various
states, covers the largest sin
gle geographic area to be map
ped in this fashion in the
United States, Dr. Knox said.
Work on the project started
in 1956.
Only one other regional
soils map, for the North Cen
tral region, has been publish
ed to date. The map for the
Northwest section of the na
tion is nearly ready for pub
lication. Oregon Soils Included
The Western regional map,
which covers Oregon, Wash
ington, California, Idaho, Ne
vada, Utah, Montana, Wy
oming, Colorado, New Mex
ico and Arizona, will use 14
color groups to show the dis
tribution of the great soils
groups and their association.
Of the 14 major color units to
be shown, Oregon contains
nine, they said.
Oregon soils range all the
way from desert to the high
rainfall areas of the coast. The
state U missing the kinds of
soil found In the hot South
west region and in the high
Rocky Mountains. The Ore
gon portion of the map will
show 28 different soil associ
ations, Dr. Knox noted.
The map will be accompan
ied by discriptions of the
characteristics of each major
soil group. Also Included in
the written text will be out
lines concerning elevation,
climate, vegetation and some
information about land use
of each soil association.
Those working on the proj
ect plan to present the map
this fall to experiment sta
tion directors of the respec
tive states for their approval.
If this is obtained, it will then
be sent to the cartographers
to prepare for printing. Each
experiment station will dis
trbute the map in its own
state.
The map is just one of the
projects carried out by the
western soil survey work
group, composed of scientists
appointed by station direct
ors. At a recent meeting In
Las Cruces, N. M., which Dr.
Simonson attended, the group
reviewed and approved the
classifications to be shown on
the regional map.

Blackberry Spray Needed,
Weed Control Man Says
By RAY HUBBELL
Jackson County Weed Control
Most blackberries are now
reaching the stage where
good control can be had with
a foliage spray.
The combination Brush
Killer (2.4-D-2,4,5-TL.V. Es
ters) are most commonly used
in this work. One gallon of
material in 100 gallons of wa
ter applied to wet all foliage
and stems will give up to 90
per cent control. If the ma
jority of the plants to be
treated are old and well es
tablished 1V4 gallons of brush
killer per 100 gallons may be
needed. The addition of a
spreider sticker should be
used. If there is good agita

two gallons of diesel oil can
be substituted as a wetting
agent.

Keep Eggs Cool,
State Department
Advises Sellers
Salem - When warm days
come, it's a sign for house
wives and dealers alike to get
their eggs under refrigeration
if they are not already doing
so.
As any person who knows
his eggs will tell you, eggs
without refrigeration lose a
large share of their taste ap
peal. And since most people
nowadays get their eggs from
the store instead of direct
from the hen, the state depart
ment of agriculture is urging
storekeepers through the state
to pay careful attention to egg
quality this summer.
The suggestion applies par
ticularly to smaller and out
lying stores, to wayside stands
that sell eggs and, as far
as that goes, to big stores that
don't treat their eggs with
equal deference "fore and
aft."
"Fore" in this situation
means in the displays from
which the consumer makes
her selection. "Aft" means be
hind the scenes out in the
storeroom where reserve egg
supplies are kept.
It's just as important to
keep the reserve supply of
eggs under refrigeration, par
ticularly in hot weather, as
it is to keep the consumer dis
plays in refrigerated cases,
says O. K. Beals, assistant di
rector in the consumer and
trade services operations of
the department.
Quality falls fast in hot
weather unless care is taken
to protect the highly temper
amental egg, Beals points out.
Eggs which were brought into
the store with a legitimate
high quality rating (AA grade)
can drop as much as two
grades within a short time
without proper care and pro
tection during heat periods,
he adds.
