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

"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.

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-
