Princess Report On Dairy Contest Given Bureau By ERBEE MULKEY Farm Bureau Connie McDonough, Sams Valley, Jackson county dairy princess, spoke at a picnic held recently by the Jackson County Farm Bureau.

Angel as the winner. : John Patrick, Eagle Point, Who p a r t i c i paled in the ';Good- will" trip to Europe in July, gave a preliminary talk on his travels. He expects to give a complete report at the ricxt meeting to be held in the auditorium of the exten sion building on the fair grounds Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 8 p.m. Nat Elzcl, vocational agriculture instructor of Eagle Point High school, who with Mrs. Etzcl accompanied the tour, will assist in the report while slides are being shown.

Mrs. Ra domske. women's chairman, accompanied her husband. Ra domske said among matters discussed were federal aid to education, community col leges, an agricultural building and the issue of carelessly stored dynamite. ; Howard F u g i, slate com modity director, spoke on changes taking place in ad ministrative policies of Farm Bureau, on the -local, state and national levels. He asked members to think seriously on just what they want accom plished. He also raised the question on "Just who is a farmer?" since farming is now integrated with many other businesses. Edwin Taylor, county com missioner, talked on the bene fits of retaining county agri cultural lands to produce food for county institutions and to , provide work for prisoners jailed on minor charges.

They should first select the area they wish to reforest and then pick the species of trees that are suitable for this land. When planting trees for the first time they should seek assistance from reliable sources. Trees for reforestation, Christmas trees, and wind breaks will again be available from the Oregon state nurse ries at Elkton and Corvallis. The farm foresters' office now has a list of these trees which will be available this November. Availible trees are basically the same as last year with the addition of Sugar Pine. The inventory of Noble Fir and Shasta Fir is greater than it was last year. Seven species of Pine, four species of True Firs, two spe cies of Cedar. Douglas Fir and several other species of conifers and hardwoods will be offered. The 1962 and 1963 Oregon nurseries' order blanks will be available around the first of November. Interested land owners may write in and put their names on a mailing list. In the past, quick ordering has been necessary to obtain Noble and Shasta Fir seed lings. The trees will cost from $12.00 to Sir.OO per thousand, depending on species. CELLULOSE CEMETARIES Albert Arnst, Editor of the Timberman, has called cer tain old-growth forests closed to logging "cellulose cemete ries. He said that valuable raw material which could be added to the region's econ omy was being lost in many of these areas, but that high country Alpine type areas were undoubtedly put to good use for wilderness re creation. SMALL WOODLAND The average holding of the small woodland owner in the United States is 59 acres. All together there are 26S million acres in 4.5 million such tracts. This is three-fourths of all the privately owned commer cial forest land and more than half of all forest land, public and private in the ' nation. Over one-half of the 265 mil lion acres in small woodland is owned by farmers. The rest is owned by non-farmers, school teachers,' bankers, lo cal merchants, housewives and others. These small forests com prise the most accessible and potentially the most produc tive woodland in the coun try. But unfortunately they are in the poorest condition because on these small wood lands occur many of the fires and most of the destructive cutting. Also, many are over grazed by livestock. Many acres are producing only one third to one-half of their po tential capacity. How is your woodland pro ducing and what are you doing to increase its rate of growth? CONSERVATION TOURS On Oct. 2 and 3. Josephine county is going to hold its an nual school forest conversa tion tour. This tour is attend ed by all the sixth graders in Josephine county. Good forest conservation is demonstrated here from tree planting to commercial harvesting The seven stations are instructed by private and public forest- I FROM THE GROUND UP. Br BART BARTLETT It must be emphasized again that ideas in this col umn are designed to provoke thought by persons dealing with biological materials. This provides quite a wide latitude for the utilization of that portion of the human anatomy known generally as grey matter. Setn by the Roadside This should be a good time for those who are interested or engaged in the arrange ment of dried floral decora tive pieces to begin making some collections of the plant materials that may be needed this winter. Homeowners and others that are served by ALL irri gation districts should con sult the manager of each dis trict to find out when they plan to stop delivering water. Then make it a point to be well irrigated by that date. It may be a long dry fall. Home Orchard Problem The apple trees in many home orchards are full of wormy apples. The reasons for this are not simple or easy to explain. It seems that the advice that home orchard ists get is partly at fault. It is also a fact that the majority of home orchards should not exist. They are neglected and at best expensive. The fruit produced by most home orch ards could be bought far cheaper than it can be grown. However, there are instan ces where one must defend the motives of the home or chardist. It is a hobby, or it has value as an avocation for an elderly person. Some of the blame for the pest prob lems of the small grower must be placed on the com mercial companies who sell shoddy spray equipment and a package or bottle of "cure all" spray material. We refer to last week's col umn in which mention was made to the Jackson county fairgrounds and subjects re lating thereto. The old Talent agronomy station would be an excellent site for a fair grounds. A track for the run ning of ponies and horses could easily be constructed at this site and leave ample space for barns, pens and whatever else is needed for a proper fairgrounds setup. The present fairgrounds are too near Medford to even be considered for such purposes as the long range develop ment of a fairgrounds area. Aside from this some other areas of Jackson County should be developed besides those that favor Medford and its businesses. Not Prime Farm Land The old agronomy site is not prime agricultural land. This fact can be gleaned from the records and attested to by the agronomic leaders of the present agronomic experi ment station at its present site at the Hanlcy farm on Jack son creek. It is also questionable as to whether society owes jail prisoners the privilege of re habiliating themselves while in jail awaiting trial or for the purpose of serving short sentences. If they wese used to clean up garbage along roadsides it may be prefer able to having them grow economic crops that tend to compete with those grown by local farmers. We would of fer one thought in this regard and that is that the prisoner who was being rehabilitated in the old Camp White Na tion Guard area recently had quite a rehabilitating affect on the large warehouse that was burned , to the ground. ers and interested informed landowners. During the after noon on Wednesday, Oct. 3, interested landowners are in vited to attend the tour. Any one wishing to attend should call the extension service. Soil Conservation Service, or the state forestry In Grants Pass for further information and dirctions. There also will be other notices about this tour in the paper and over the radio.
