Still Keeping One Cow
Corvallis When Mrs
O'Leary's cow kicked over the
lamp that set Chicago ablaze
in 1871, some folks opined
that "the city is just no place
ior a cow.
Others went even further
and said It didn't make sense
to keep only one cow in the
first place. Time will come,
they argued, when all cows
will be managed in large
herds with dairying the sole
business of the operator. But
that time hasn't yet arrived,

Garden Tips
Give Meats Care
To Guard Health
Salem Picnic-bound? Dr.
M. L. Houston, meat inspec
tion supervisor with the state
department of agriculture,
makes these timely sugges
tions and cautions.
Summer in Oregon brings
backyard cookouts, beach pic
nics and trips to the moun
tains. Looking ahead to juicy
hamburgers, wieners and
steaks grilled over an outdoor
fire, mother's shopping the
day before the outingv in
cludes meat as an important
portion of her provisions.
And herewith begins a tale.
That appetizing steak is
purchased from a refrigerat
ed case and taken home to
the chill confines of the fam
ily refrigerator. But what
happens in the meantime? Re
member that all fresh meat,
most smoked meats and sau
sage contain small numbers
of living bacteria and mold
spores. These few organisms
cause no harm and increase in
numbers very slowly while
temperatures are at 40 de
grees or lower.
But allow the meat or sau
sage to warm up steadily or
intermittently and the micro
organisms multiply rapidly.
This happens during your
transportation of meat. Did
you know that the tempera
ture in the trunk of your car
can go over 140 degrees on
a hot sunny day? Similarly
the interior of a parked car
often goes over 100 degrees
F. When you leave your
meat purchases in your auto
mobile the temperature of
the exterior portion of the
meat increases rapidly and
the numbers of micro
organisms jump at an alarm
ing rate.

Peach St Prunt Root Borer
The peach and prune root
borer is an important insect
pest of peaches, prunes, flow
ering plums and laurel
throughout Oregon.
This pest can be controlled
with relative ease and low
cost by the use of DDT sprays
applied at this time of year
when the adult moths are
emerging. It is suggested that
in the Rogue Valley the first
DDT application be made
about July 15. This date
would probably not be far off
for other sections of the state
where the peach and prune
root borer is a pest.
What to Look For
The larvae or "borers" are
responsible for the injury to
peach and prune trees. Young
trees one to two inches in di
ameter may be comDletelv
girdled by the borers. Older
trees are often seriously de.
vitalized. The appearance of
sap, gum and frass exuded
from the burrows of the bor
ers around the base of the
tree is evidence they are pres
ent. Frass-covered pupal cases
may be found protruding from
the burrows after the moths
have emerged.
Control
Good control of this import
ant pest can be obtained us
ing DDT sprays at the rate
of eight pounds of 50 per cent
wettable DDT powder to 100
gallons of water.
The spray is applied at low
pressure, about 60 to 80
pounds, to the lower scaffold
limbs and trunk. The spray
should be applied thoroughly
and in an amount sufficient
to allow it to puddle around
the base of the tree. Trees
four to six inches in diameter
will require about one to two
pints of spray solution per
tree.
Two applications should be
made if the borer infestation
is heavy; the first when the
moths have begun to emerge
and a second spray about 25
days later. If borer damage
is not severe, a single applica
tion will usually be sufficient.
From observations made this
year, moth emergence may be
somewhat extended. Under
such conditions, the second
application would be particu
larly valuable in heavily in
fested orchards.
Some varieties of flowering
plum are also suceptible to at
tack and can be seriously dam
aged by this insect. Home
owners can protect these trees
by spraying or painting the
tree trunk with a solution of
DDT prepared by mixing one
cup of 50 per cent DDT in one
gallon of water. A cup or two
of this solution should be
sprayed or poured around the
base of the tree. Two applica
tions are suggested for orna
mental flowering plum.
College Students
Visit In Valley
Three young students from
the British Isles have arrived
in the Rogue valley recently
to work for the summer while
living with families here.
Frank Brierley, a student
at Clare college, Cambridge
university, arrived in Central
Point July 4 to begin work
for Cheney Forest Products
company. He will live with a
Central Point family during
his 10 week stay.
In Grants Pass are Michael
Blair, 21, Aberlady, Scotland,
a graduate of Clare college,
Cambridge, and Guy Knap
ton, 21, Guilford, England,
who will be a senior at Pem
broke college, Cambridge,
next October.
Blair will live at the home
of William F. Johnson, Grants
Pass lawyer, and will be em
ployed by Southern Oregon
Plywood. Knapton will live
with the Lee Alley family,
also in Grants Pass, and work
at the Spalding and Sons mill.
Blair has been awarded I
Paul Mellon fellowship for
study at Yale university dur
ing 1962-64. Knapton is ma
joring in economics aifd so
ciology at Pembroke college.
All the students are here
under the sponsorship of the
Oregon Junior Chamber of
Commerce. Nineteen Cam
bridge students will live in
various parti of the state dur
ing the months of July and
August.
tury 21 and the 19th century
of Mrs. O'Leary. Big, auto
mated dairy farms of 200 to
300 cows share the state's
milk production with 7,204
families that keep only one
cow.
However, the trend to few
er and bigger dairy farms is
clearly apparent with most of
Oregon's 160,000 producing
cows in so-called commercial
herds. More than 2,200 Ore
gon farms reported herds of
20 or more cows for the
latest agricultural census in
lSSS. Nearly 600 farms had
herds of more than 50 cows.
Average size of herds in the
Portland milk marketing area
is now 45 cows.
Produces 1 Billion. Pounds
All told, Oregon produced
more than one billion pounds
of milk in 1961 equal to
more than one-half billion
quarts and valued in excess
of $46 million. Many millions
of dollars were added to this
base figure in payrolls to
make butter, cheese, ice cream
and other products and to put
milk into containers for Ore
gon stores and doorsteps,
How is this billion pounds
of milk used? In 1960, about
one-half was used as fluid
milk and the other half went
for manufacture of dairv
products, says Oscar Hagg.
OSU dairy products market
ing specialist
Biggest processed item was
butter made from nearly 235
minion pounds of whole milk,
Cheese used 170 million
pounds of milk, and ice cream
and other frozen products re
quired 90 million pounds. The
rest went for a variety of
manufactured products includ
ing cottage cheese, evaporat
ed milk, and dry milk.
Another notable dairy
trend, along with larger herds,
is the improved milk produc
tion capacity of cows, report
H. P. Ewalt and Don E. An
derson, OSU extension dairy
specialists.
Comparative records of the
Oregon Dairy Herd Improve
ment association show that
in 1950 average annual pro
duction of DHIA test cows
was 8,108 pounds of milk and
380 pounds of butterfat per
cow. By 1961, production had
increased to 9,694 pounds of
milk and 420 pounds of but
terfat. Point Up Shift
DHIA records also point up
the general shift in herd sizes.
In 1950, Oregon had 637
herds on DHIA testing for a
total of 19,183 cows or an av
erage size herd of 30 animals.
By 1961, the number of herds
had decreased to 488, but to
tal number of cows was 25
735 for an average herd of
33.
Where is it all leading?
Some of the experts believe
the time is not far off when
less than 1,000 farms will sup
ply all the dairy products
needed in the state. Mean
while, some 7,000 Oregonians
will set their alarm clocks
for tomorrow morning to go
out and milk one cow little
concerned that they're a dis
appearing statistic.
Dairymen Request
Standard Package
Salem - Oregon law says
the standard for a ton of coal
shall be 2000 pounds and for
a cord of wood 128 cubic feet
- but it doesn't say the stand
ard for a pound of butter or
oleomargarine shall be 16
ounces.
So the dairy relations ad
visory committee to the state
department of agriculture is
recommending that something
be done about the butter and
oleo matter. It has suggested
that the department propose
a regulation, under the Ore
gon food law, to establish a
retail package weight stand
ard for these two products.
The committee is prompted
by the recent appearance on
the Oregon market of a pack
age of margarine which
weighs 13 ounces instead of
the customary 16 ounces.
Historically, the weights for
these products have been one
or two pounds, a half pound
or quarter pound. Anything
else, the committee believes,
would disrupt the trade and
deceive the consumer.
Kenneth E. Carl, chief of
the department's dairy and
consumer services divi s I o n,
says the department has the
committee's recommendation
under consideration.
H. S. Dixon, manager of the
Tillamook County Creamery
association, is chairman of the
advisory committee, which is
chosen by the statewide indus
try organizations.
In a further move to pro
tect the public on another
dairy front, the committee has
requested a study of ways and
means to Inform consumers

ucts are served in public eat

Range Camp
In Grant County
Set Aug. 6-11
Corvallis - Oregon boys in
terested in the state's range
land country have an oppor
tunity in August to learn
more of this great natural re
source in a "laboratory as big
as all outdoors."
The 1962 Youth Range
camp is scheduled Aug. 6 to
11 In Logan Valley in south
eastern Grant county. Tucked
away in the Malheur National
Forest, the camp will combine
instruction in range manage
ment, outdoor living, and rec
reation. It is sponsored by the
Pacific Northwest section of
t h e American Society of
Range Management.
Oregon boys 14 through 17
years of age are eligible to
attend on a local selection
basis with $30 scholarships
provided by local sponsors to
cover costs of attending.
All eastern Oregon coun
ties and Jackson, Josephine,
Douglas, Coos and Curry
counties are eligible to send
four boys each, reports Dil
lard H. Gates, Oregon State
University range management
specialist who is program
chairman for the event.
Selection in each county is
made by a county extension
agent and a local representa
tive of the Society of Range
Management.
At camp, boys will learn
about range management,
identification of range plants,
how to judge soil, public re
lations of wildlife manage
ment, and other related top
ics.
Evening campfire programs
touch the lighter side of life
on the range: "dreams of a
working cowboy" as told by
R. A. Long, Fort Rock ranch
er-philosopher; a session on
photography; group singing,
and special contests. Some
free time will be squeezed in
for fishing and other recre
ation, camp planners said.
Instructors for the camp
will be drawn from bureau
of land management, Forest
Service, U.S. Fish and Wild
life service, Soil Conservation
service, Oregon Game com
mission, ranch managers, and
Oregon State university.
Ed Abbott, John Day, Mal
heur National Forest, is in
charge of this year's camp,
and William K. Farrell, Grant
county agent, will be camp
boss. Interested boys may
obtain more information from
their local county extension
agent.
Group Adopts
Report Regarding
Local Government
Cities and counties should
be given more flexibility by
state governments so that
these local units can respond
more quickly to problems cre
ated by rapid growth and
spread of population.
This statement was part to
report released this week
which was adopted recently
at a meeting of the Advisory
commission on Intergovern
mental Relations held in
Washington, D. C. A member
of the commission is Robert B.
Duncan, Medford, speaker of
the Oregon House of Repre
sentatives.
The commission adopted the
report dealing with alterna
tive approaches to govern
mental reorganization in met
ropolitan areas. This includes
use of interjurisdictional a
greements, voluntary metro
politan councils, the urban
county, multipurpose dis
tricts, and annexation.
This report on governmen
tal reorganization in metro
politan areas supplements a
1961 report. The present re
port suggests that the states
give municipalities authority
for planning, zoning, and sub
division control in unincorpo
rated fringe areas. It also
recommends that states en
courage formation of volun
tary "metropolitan councils,"
which are growing in use.
Members of the commission
also gave their approval to "A
directory of Federal Statis
tics for Metropolitan Areas,"
which is expected to be high
ly useful for business, eco
nomic, and planning surveys
n metropolitan areas.

4 well-known "facts" about
none of which is true!
1. "It rains all the time" Not so! It only rains on
the day of the company picnic. Actually, Portland's 40
inches of annual rainfall is less than Houston or Nashville
or New York or Washington, D.C. Sure, Oregon gets plenty
of rain on the coast, but it trickles down to a tiny 12 inches
in the interior. (You just can't generalize about 96,981
square miles of varied topography ! )
It's never too hot or too cold, either. Western Oregon
enjoys pleasant summers (average July, 66) and mild green
winters (January, 38). Eastern Oregon is less temperate,
but compared to the humid summers and freezing winters
of the East and Midwest, every one of us Oregonians lives
in an air-conditioned paradise!
2. "It's isolated too far away" Sez who? Two
million tourists vacalion in Oregon every year probably
three limes that many will visit on their way to the Seattle
World's Fair! We're on the great circle air routes to the
Orient, and smack between Europe and Disneyland. We're
catered to bv 10 airlines, 5 railroads, 50 steamship lines,
and 63,000 miles of superb highways. Portland's dcepwater
port is the " 1 dry cargo tonnage harbor on the Pacific Coast
and 250 miles closer to the Orient than any California port.
With neighboring California destined to be first in popu-.
Union, and nearby Hawaii and Alaska ready to boom, and
an expected half-million more Oregonians by 1970, being
"isolated" isn't one of our problcms.
3. "No industry just tall timber" Sure, we
got trees. A mere 30 million acres. Why, just to see the
view, we cut down 9 billion board feet a year, or 25 of
the nation's needs But with 21 million acres of rich farm
land and a big chunk of the nation's potential hydropower,
don't overlook our cheese and textiles, wheat and furniture,
peppermint and electronics, frozen foods and exotic metals,
pears and plywood, potatoes and nickel, onions and alu
minum. (We're even the first state in the nation for snap
green beans. Try that on a Texan.)
However, our greatest resource is people. Oregon workers
are skilled, permanent (65 own their homes), happier,
better paid, more productive than the national average.
We have a balanced state budget, too. Oregon's the only
state that reduced the per capita tax the last two fiscal years.
And most important we have a state government that
is working hard to continue this great diversified growth.
Cut this out and mail it to
one of your Eastern friends4
4. "No culture just pioneer wilderness"
Hardly. Oregon is about as wild and uncultured as Man
hattan, including Central Park'. Ask any of ihc "pioneers
in busy, bustling Portland. Or visit Salem, Eugene, Medford,
Bend, Pendleton, Corvallis or the other "Trading Posts"!
How do you measure culture? Oregon schools rank in
the top three states in scholastic excellence. Oregon's liter
acy rale is one of the nalion's highest. We boast 24 col
leges and univcrsilies, ana one of them Reed College
has supplied a higher ratio of Rhodes scholars than any
other American school. We support art festivals, museums,
symphony orchestras, ballet, flower shows, opera, the theater
(Ashland's Shakespearean f estival, for example) and, by
gosh, don't forget the Pendleton Round-Up, the Hart Moun
tain Antelope Refuge, Ihc Albany Timber Carnival, and
the Rogue River National Rooster Crowing Contest! We
also have the first baby elephant born in America in 40
years at our handsome new Portland Zoo.
Astoria was the first American settlement on the Pacific
Coast. Jacksonville claims ihc oldest Protestant church
west of the Rockies. And. on Ihc new side, Portland's
50-acre shopping center is one of the world's largest.
If that isn't enough culiure for you, come out anyway
and we'll show you where lh, fish arc biting.
Other than home town pride, why should you care if the
rest of the world has the wrong "facts" about Oregon?
Simply this: Oregon is long on resources and short on
industry. We're bursting with potential. We must broaden
our industrial base with more and different industries.
Every increase in our economy every new industry
every family which moves here benefits you in three ways:
. More diversified industry means more jobs a higher
standard of living for everyone in Oregon. 2. More jobs
mean more job security for you, more opportunity for
advancement, better wages. 3. More research-based in
dustry means more job opportunities for our science and
engineering college graduates in their home state.
Why is the Telephone Company promoting Oregon?
We're proud to be a part of the team of private industry
that's working to help Oregon achieve its ultimate growth.
We're second only to Georgia-Pacific in the number of
employees. We're first in total capital investment over
289 million dollars! Like you, our future is invested in
Oregon. Like you, we arc working to make Oregon the
most rewarding, the most prospcious state in the nation.
Particularly it your friends arc thinking anout coming to the Fair. It's
up to you to sec that they stop over in Oregon while they're in the neigh
borhood. (If you'd like more copies of this advertisement, call our business
