MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON TUESDAY. JULY 23. 1963 Reports Necessary Of Farm Projects Farmers who have complet ed conservation projects ap proved earlier this year under the 1963 agricultural conser vation program have been re minded to file their report of performance for cost-share as sistance. Albert Straus, chairman, agricultural stabilization and conservation county commit tee, pointed out that the ear lier such reports on completed practices are filed, the sooner the ACP payment can be made. This will permit the farmer to meet the expenses incurred in carrying out the practice, and if he has other projects approved for comple tion this fall, the cash pay ments can help to get the ad ditional conservation under way. With spring conservation projects completed and the cost shares received, it will be easier to concentrate on other work that needs to be done, he noted. Straus said that if a farmer has received approval for a practice which he later finds he is unable to carry out, he should report this to his coun ty committee. This may per mit the committee to approve another practice for him or for some other farmer in the county. ACP, Straus explained, has been authorized by Congress in recognition of the fact that the natural resources on indi vidual farms are vital not only to the farmers and ranch ers who operate the land but also to the health and well being of each citizen, both now and in the future.

A spray containing one ta blespoon of dieldrin (50 per cent wettable powder) per gal lon 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 aim ed at controlling the adults and newly hatched larvae. The adult is a black and white beetle about 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. County Gets Permit To Install Fence The Medford building de partment has issued a permit to Jackson county to erect a fence at an estimated cost of $3,395 along Maple Grove dr The fence, County Com missioner Ed Taylor said, will enclose the land east of Alba Dark, back of the Jackson county fairgrounds, which will be used in part as horse arena. This land has been cleared of rocks, leveled and faced with granite, Taylor said, and is now ready for fencing. Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate. '.963) "Never saw so few mites in our apple crop" The answer's right in our spray tank. Kelthane AP. Must be. Miles were quite a problem last year. They sure hurt our crop pears as well as apples. But not thi3 season. Kelthane AP is controlling all the mites that give us trouble European red, 2-spotted, McDaniel, Willamette, apple rust, clover. Mention just about any mite Kelthane controls it. What made you decide to switch miticides? For one thing, I get more action per pound of Kelthane AP. It gives me high initial kill and long residual action, and it can be used with most other pesticides. you're really sold on Kelthane AP, aren't you? Why not? It's the best miticide I ever used. Bride Becomes Widow , Second After Marriage The 10-second honeymoon ended; she, the widow, re turned to the hive where thousands of loyal subjects awaited her. The buzzing in the hive stopped. What had been aimless fluttering organ ized itself into a pattern. Every bee in the hive knew the strange union of the sexes had taken place, high in the summer air, now she was back to become the queen mother, and rcpopulate the colony. Order evolved, each indi vidual bee knew what to do, and proceeded to carry out its allotted task. The detail left on a three-mile trip to where an abundant supply of nectar and pollen was avail able. The cleanup squad began to put the hive in order. They cleaned the empty cells. They swept the debris from the hive. The guards took up their places at the entrance; they could identify every one of the hive-members by smell alone. No strange bee, or visitor from another swarm could sneak past them Began Laying Eggs In a special bridal chamber the queen mother adjusted herself and with machine- like regularity began laying eggs. As each egg was laid, a worker bee carried it away, placing it in a separate cell where later the bee larva would hatch. The queen can lay two kinds of eggs, one EK DUE Turkeys Take Edge In State Program Salem - Turkeys had a slight edge on chickens par ticipating in the Oregon poul try and turkey improvement programs during 1962-63, with the turkey figure 262, 218 and chickens 250,623. It is the first time since the programs were placed un der the Oregon department of agriculture in 1945 that the turkeys have outnumbered chickens. Last year 317.742 chickens were participating in tne program and 241,994 turkeys. Other figures supplied by Earl Reitsma, supervisor of the program for the depart ment, show 124 turkey flocks and 176 chicken flocks under the program. There were 20 turkey hatcheries and dealers with a capacity of 2,245,142 birds and the same number of dealers and hatcheries for chickens. However the capaci ty for chickens was almost a million more than for tur keys, with the figure 3,153,- 500. that produces a drone or male, and the oilier, and more numerous, the female bees. A fertilized egg usually hatches into a worker. The sex can also be determind and controlled by the worker bees, by feeding the proper food at the right time; an egg can even be developed into queen bee. The mysterious alchemy of the hive has puzzled scientists for a long time; and there is not yet any satisfactory an swer. There are many edu cated guesses, and a host of theories. Constant Balance The average worker bee works itself to death in about six weeks, so thousands must be produced. Should the weather or some outside agen cy interfere causing the work ers to lay off work, even for weeks, their lives are length ened and there is no need for new members. The number of individuals in a hive mains rawer constant; some peculiar trigger, or brake, is always present to maintain a balance. This action too, has never been fully understood. Should some disaster occur whereby hundreds, or even I thousands, of bees are de stroyed, or for some reason never return, the production line goes into high gear and within a short time a new crop of workers is ready to take to the field. This clastic birth rale seems to be ad justed by some signal given the queen who begins an in crease In egg production which may reach the unbe lievable number of 1,000 eggs in a 24-hour period. Strange and Rigid It is a strange and rigid or ganization, this complex gov ernment of the hive; it brooks no tolerance for weakness or old age. After a worker has passer its period of usefulness and can no longer carry pol len, gather nectar, or benefit the colony by its presence, its life is sacrificed. Its torn and tattered body is cast out the front door. Even the queen can be re placed, if she becomes sick, or falls down on egg produc tion. By some bee-knowledge. the workers increase the food ration, and a new queen is produced. On a bright sunny day she will leave the hive, will meet her husband of a few seconds; he will give up his life on the altar of love, and she will re turn to the hive, a bride of but a brief interval of time; a widow for the rest of her life. By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribune Washington Bureau Washington - Rep. Edith recn, doughty defender of q u a 1 rights and pay for women, took up the cud g e 1 s again last week and raised a few lumps on the hapless C o m missioner o f E d u cation, a man who had dared advance the cause of teachers. What had aroused Mrs. Green's ire were a number of speeches Commissioner Francis Kep pel had made in which he had stressed the need to raise the quality of education by at tracting and holding male teachers by paying them more. He omitted woman kind from his speeches and, alas, repeated this sin when he ap peared before the House Edu cation Subcommittee. This proved too much for the former Oregon school teach er. 1 . . . Why the continuing emphasis on the need to at tract and pay men teachers more?" she asked Keppel. launching into a small speech before he could reply . . . This is a philosophy I find most distressing, especially in view of the fact that '.his Congress recently passed a bill after nine years at least of struggle on equal pay for equal work, and Congress went on record that when a woman was doing the same work as a man that she would be paid the same amount of money . . ." Draws Apology Before she had finished with Keppel, he had apolo gized for being "tactless" in not focusing attention on women, said he would need to "reform" and pleaded that he had not truly intended to forget women, but had mere ly wanted to say there should be a better balance between men and women teachers and that one way to do this was to raise salaries which would attract men. Keppel pointed out that In 1962-63 the average salary for public teachers was $5940 with the higher pay of other professionals. He said that accountants average $11,000; auditors $7700: engineers $9700, and that the obvious way to at tract men was to raise sala ries. He thought the Adminis tration's bill which provides salary increases for teachers would be of great help. Mrs. Green attacked again when Keppel was defending his statement in which he said that because over 40 per cent of the men teachers, (compared to 7.6 per cent of the women) take outside jobs, they need more money. He claimed low salaries appear to hit the men teachers hard er. "There are a lot of women who are heads of families and the sole support," retorted Mrs. Green, "Why do they need extra income more than women?" "Because I take it, I don't know, Mrs. Green, you know more than I," stammered Keppel, "But I assume that for the man teacher over 30 with a wife and several chil dren, the costs are higher for at least 40 or 50 per cent of the men . . ." Mrs. Green broke in with "what about the women over 30 who has the sole support of four youngsters?" A cowed Keppel said "I en tirely agree, Mrs. Green." Common Sense Approach He explained that his feel ings that there should be more of a balance between men and women teachers was caused by a "common sense approach" and his reading in psychology, and he thought it in the public interest for boys to identify with male teachers. Mrs. Green said that she had inferred from his speech es that he was advocating dual salary scale for men and women. Keppel hastened to assure her that he had no such intention and that if he wore unclear "I misspoke myself. Goaded by a Congressman who reminded her that there were more male heads of households than women, Mrs Green pointed to the fact that 65 per cent of the women teachers were married and that they too have a second job, keeping house. If the housewife-teachers same as men. they would be able to hire a full . time housekeeper, and therefore, they arc in fact holding a second job - as high a per centage as men," Mrs. Green said. Keppel meekly agreed that her point "was valid." The Commissioner tried valiantly to reassure the Con grcsswoman that he truly wanted equal pay for equal work for both men and wom en teachers and that his "main concern was to make teaching a career with dig nity and proper salary." But the last word went to the lady. "I couldn't agree more, and am delighted to hear the Commissioner put emphasis on higher salaries for both men and women, because I think if the impression got abroad in this land that the Office of Education or this Congress were only concerned about improving salaries for male teachers, that there would he nothing thai would ruin the morale of the teach- Leaders Are Noted For Crusade Drive - Leaders for the seven sec-.'.
