Recently the Committee for Economic Development rec
ommended a large number of farmers should let Off the
farm and find other metni of employment.
Although the number of farmer! mentioned in the purely
objective, non-partisan report may have been shocking to
some people such recommendation is not new. Local bank
ers have also made this recommendation to some of their
borrowers.
However, in spite of the recommendation, the problem
remains: How to give a number of marginal farmers em
ployment. Farming has become a way of life for these peo
ple. They usually have become established in the community
so employment must be brought to them. Small industries
must be established in which they can use their skills.
A possible answer to this problem is RAD-Rural Areas
Development. This is a program established by Secretary of
Agriculture Orville L. Freeman to help any rural commu'
nity that, wants help In creating more local employment and
making more productive use

The RAD program is being

resentation for the combined RAD and regional advisory
committee already by Including representatives from schools,
irrigation districts, Industry, the county planning commis
sion and the various cities and towns in thi county.
Under the federal 701 plannng program, a study will be
made of the existing economic base, population tends, etc.
to determine what are the planning needs of the valley. A
by-product of this study will Indicate what economic develop
ment is needed. Some people
the area needs to develop economically, or to provide more
Jobs. However, economic development as fostered by the
RAD program must be built on a concrete foundation of
solid facts. Hence the survey and possible future overall
economic development program.
This overall development plan should Include facts on:
people, their number, sex, age, education, training and skills,
attitudes, handicaps, customs, etc. Labor resources should
be Included. The plan should also Include natural resources
such as agriculture, soil, water, climate and topography, for
est, minerals, and natural attractions. Under Institutions, a
study should be made of housing, hospitals, power, trans
portation and recreation. Indus;, y and trade would include
market facilities, processing, manufacturing, local business.
Next step is to set up a project to meet definite com
munity needs such as a water system, sewag disposal plant,
agricultural marketing co-op; more productive form of ag
riculture; a feed or fertilizer processing plant; machine shop,
or a motel for a resort area.
An example of community development given In the
stacks of literature on RAD illustrates a situation similar to
Jnckson county's. A dam had been built for flood control and
hydroclectic power. A study was made of the recreational
potential of the dam area. It included determination of avail
able credit 'or construction of new motels, cabins, improved
roads, youth camps, marine facilities, ball park, golf course,
fair grounds and the manufacture of small boats.
"When completed, this area, which was considered un
inviting to industrial development, will offer residents new
sources of income," the pamphlet on RAD concluded.

in the ground. For instance,
family decided a white substance discovered while sinking
postholcs might be worth something. Now three pounds of
"nuisance" go into sacks and Is spread on service station
driveways, garage floors and other places to absorb oil. It
contains calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and silica.

shops.
When the Rogue basin project becomes a reality crops
on the land irrigated from that project must yield a h(gh
Income to more than pay for irrigation costs. This does
not mean that basin irrigation costs are going to be high,
but if you added, say $10 an acres In Irrigation costs, to
land you must produce something which will more than
pay for the added costs. Strawberries is such a high valm
crop.
In one area 55 merchants offered a dollar's worth of
merchandise to every farmer who set out one new acre of
strawberries. This plus intensive orgsnliatlon resulted In
$100,000 of new Income from
berries marketed through a new cooperative. Merchants of
the area sold 115 home freeters during the strawberry
harvest, 75 new lockers were rented at the local locker
plant and other business picked up, loo.
These are Just a few examples of what can be done under
RAD. This is something new and untried as yet in Jackson
county. Whether It is successful will not depend not so much
on the county's leaders, both civic and governmental, but
on the people themselves. Somebody once said the people
always get the kind of government they deserve. We think
this applies to an area's economia development.

Common Market Now Vital
To Pacific Coast Growers
B JOE COWLEY
Mail Tribune Farm Editor
Jackson county pear grow
ers like fellow growers in
Oregon, Washington and Cali
fornia are more concerned
than ever this season about
getting their fruit into the
Common market.
Bartlett pears are expected
to be small, but plentiful.
European markets are not so
concerned with size if the
quality is good in contrast to
the U.S. housewife, growers
have pointed out.
Growers also note that the
Bartlett season will encroach
on the normal marketing sea
son of winter pear varieties
such as Bosc, D'AnJou and
Cornice forcing them back
into later winter months and
"compounding the marketing
problems of these varieties."
Need Export Markets
"Unless all possible export
markets are opened imme
diately, this, too, will com
plicate our marketing prob
lem, Inevitably tending to
lower returns at the orchard
level," Raymond R. Rcter,
Medford pear grower and
shipper, and chairman of the
export committee of the Ore
gon Washington California
Pear Bureau, wrote to Sen.
The hot weather would be
more comfortable. If it were
not for the almost constant
threat of storms that could
bring wind and hail and cause
heavy crop losses.
The thinning of Bartlett
pears is still continuing in
some orchards. Several blocks
of the winter pear varieties
will be thinned.
This is a critical period i'or
all crop plants and trees as
far as soil moisture levels are
concerned. The soil can and
does change In moisture con
tent very rapidly during per
iods of high atmospheric temp
erature and low atmospheric
humidity. Therefore applica
tions of Irrigation water
should ,be made in time to
prevent the moisture level of
the soil from becoming to low
that the plants and trees suf
fer for lack of water.
Rill Method
When applying irrigation
water by the rill method in
hot dry weather, it is wise to
use relatively large amounts
of water per rill, as too often
small head of water is
spread so thinly over a large
area, that no progress Is being
made so far as moving the
water over the field or area
to be irrigated. In this case
concentrate the water avail
able into a few of the rills
at a time and when they are
through from end to end move
all the water to another set
of rills. This method will also
work well in flooding a pas
ture or hay field.
It would be well If all or-
chardists would spend a few
days at this time in getting
the weeds out of any plant
ings of young trees. They
should also be sprayed for
mites and any other pests they
may be subject to. Then the
trees should be well irrigated
and if needed a light applica
tion of nitrogen fertilizer can
be made to them. This will aid
In keeping them growing and
result In larger trees to begin
the season with next year.
Once the pear, peach and ap
ple harvest begins the young
plantings are apt to enter a
long period of neglect as all
labor and rauipment Is usual
ly needed elsewhere.
Reports on Mitai
Reports are rampant that
the mites are resistant to this
or that spray chemical. There
are some instances of mite In
lury to fruit tree foliage. It Is
true ( tat some chemicals con
trol mites somewhat belter
than others. It is also verv
true that once a mite popula
tion Is allowed to build up in
an orchard control by any
chemical is very difficult In
manv instances the resistance
didn't Just start, it was there
, ,,,' ,nd w,, , no,ii.(l,1
until the miles became plcnli-
ful and the weather hot and
the leaves turned a dark
brown color.
At this point control Is no
longer an easy mtter. It can
be done wilh anv of several
mlticides. however, if two or
more covers are made wilh
speed sprays al fairly high
gallonage per acre or one
spray application with the old
high pressure sprav rig and
hose guns should do Hie lob.
Control of the mites in this
manner mav result in some
damage to fruit finish.

Garden Tips
By JOHN McLOUGHLIN
County Extension Agent
Popular and Willow Bores
n spray containing one
tablespoon of dieldrin (50 per
cent weUable powder) per
gallon of water should be ap
plied to the trunks and limbs
of poplar and willow trees
where this borer is present
and where these trees are in
a weakened condition. This is
a preventive treatment aimed
at controlling the' adults and
newly hatched larvae.
The adult is a black and
white beetle about three-
eighths of an inch long. The
larvae is white and legless
and mines into the trunk and
limbs of these trees.
A second application should
be applied in about three
weeks.
Pruning Raspberries
Black and red raspberries
produce fruit on canes that
developed the previous year.
To increase the vigor of the
canes that will produce next
year's fruit and to reduce in
sect and disease hazards, re
move the old fruiting canes
as soon as the fruit is picked.
With red raspberries, prune
so as to leave 10 or 12 of the
most vigorous canes per hill.
Continue to irrigate through
the summer. An application
of one pound of ammonium
sulfate to 15 feel of row
should increase the vigor of
the planting where needed.
Prune these canes back to a
height of five feet before
growth starts next spring.
The fall fruit crop of the
everbearing raspberries va
rieties is produced on canes of
the current season. After this
second crop is harvested these
canes are pruned back to be
low the fruit bearing shoots.
A good fertilization program
to follow using ammonium
sulfate on the everbearing
varieties is one pound in the
spring, one half pound at
bloom time and one -half
pound In early August to each
15 feet row.
The new shoots of black
raspberries are cut about six
inches In early summer when
they are about 30 inches high.
This induces side laterals
which increases the fruiting
area and produces better qual
ity berries. Next spring prune
these laterals back to 18
inches.

MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
The Winter Pear Marketing
Agreement Control committee
in Portland July 18 indicated
estimates of approximately
300,000 boxes of winter pears
more than last year.
"This figure after substan
tial restriction of grade and
sizes permitted to be packed
under the marketing order,"
Rcter noted in his letter.
"These grades are highly ac
ceptable in export markets,
but are less desirable in do
mestic markets."
"It is therefore Imperative
that our overseas markets be
made available immediately,"
Reter added.
Retcr noted the problem is
"well expressed" In a letter
signed by Morse and 17 other
senators and sent to Under
Secretary of Slate George W.
Ball on July 10.
Senators Write
The senators in iheir letter
stated a number of them had
written to Ball on March 16,
1961 and again on June 29.
1961 urging the removal of
non-tariff barriers on imports
of U.S. fruits by western Eu
ropean countries.
"Although since that time
there has been some mitiga
tion of the non-tariff barriers
which limit U.S. fruit imports
into these countries, many
barriers in violation of GATT
(General Agreement on Tar
iffs and Trade) still remain.
Some of the principal ones
are seasonal restriction, quo
tas and licensing, unreason
able packaging requirements,
delayed announcements of
opening dates."
The senators noted that
United Kinedom imports from
(he northern hemisphere
fresh apple and pear produc
ing areas are still limited by
annual quotas.
"Imports inlo Belgium,
France, West Germany, Aus
tria, Denmark, Ireland (ex
cept pears), Norway, Sweden
and Switzerland from the dol
lar area are still prohibited
until opening dates are an
nounced. This is usually after
the bulk of indigenous sup
plies are marketed." it was
noted. "Belgium, France. Ger
many, Norway and Switzer
land authorize imports from
other European suppliers
while imports from the dol
lar area may be prohibited."
Franca Restrictive
France restricts the im
ports of U.S. fruits and fruit
products more than any other
western European country,
the senators noted. Now only
fresh lemons, fresh grapefruit,
fresh summer oranges, lemon
juice, grapefruit juice, raisins,
natural condition prunes in
sacks and tree nuts (except
walnuts) may be imported in
to France without restriction.
The senators in their letter
to the under-sccretary urged
the removal of the non-tariff
barriers "before they become
permanenlly embedded" in
the import policies of those
countries.
By July 20, Ihe Trade Ex
pansion Act went to tile U S.
Senate finance committee for
hearings.
The statement from the
Canners League of California
to this committee pointed out:
"The only concession obtain
ed for our Industry was a re
duction of 2 per cent in the
external fruit duty of the
Common Market, with Bene
lux and Germany being our
principal markets."
The statement noted a fail
ure to assure reciprocity in
trade and lark of adequate
prenrgotiating safeguards.
Commonwealth Problem

over the possibility that Brit

Care of Established Lawns
Important to
VERNON MARSHALL
For
Rogut Valley Nurserymen
July and August - Care of
established lawns - It takes
two or more years for a newly
planted lawn to develop into
a mature, dense turf.
Once established, a lawn Is
the heart of any good land
scaping program, and it pro
vides surface-water control
and, of course, it enables you
to enjoy outdoor living.
If you plan a sound year
around program, you won't
find lawn care very difficult
or very expensive. Many per
sons have trouble with their
lawns only because they ne
glect them during the sum
mer and then try to rebuild
them after the hot, dry weath
er is over. That's where the
hard work comes in.
Now - Let's take this lawn 1
care step at a time.
First - mowing. Now this is
important, without correct
mowing, all the other treat
ments are to no avail. You
shouldn't mow the lawn until
the new grass is at least 2' j
inches long. This rule applies
to all common lawn grasses.
Only the fine bent grasses,
such as those on golf greens,
will tolerate close mowing.
Proper Mowing
Research has shown that
the common practice of fre
quently mowing the lawn
when it is less than 1'2 inches
high, at any ti-ie during the
year, is the cause of many
lawn troubles for example,
thin turf, lack of resistance to
disease, drought and wear,
and infestation by weeds and
insects. When you remove the
leaf areas of any plant, you
remove the parts where food i
is manufactured.
Second, watering - Lawns

The cost is not too great to

you use plastic pipe and fit

as galvanized pipe. It is much

gram doesn't work. In feeding
the lawn, be sure to use the
quantities recommended by
the manufacturer.
Fourth, repairs - If too
much traffic is causing worn
i or bare spots, see whether a
new walk or stepping stones
mightn't be the best perma
nent solution. If a corner area
is affected, here's the way to
repair it.
During late August dig out
! the upper three inches of
dead sod and topsoil. Remove
the next eight to 10 inches
and check for any lime, plas
ter or other building debris.
If you find any, discard all
that soil und replace it with
new topsoil, and an amount of
humus equal to about a third
of the soil's bulk, then seed
the area as though it were a'
new lawn.
Fifth and final step for suc
cess, diseases and weeds
Watch for diseases, such as
larse brown patch - dollar
spot - lawnmoth, and contact
your local nurseryman for
remedies, and easy methods to
apply, and for remedies to
control crab grass and un
sightly broadlcaf weeds. Your
nurserymen have the answers.
