Bray noted a strong demand for young feeder cows. Quite a few sold from $16 to $18. "Our next feeder sale will be held on Oct. 25," Bray an nounced. "We expect to have an improved market on calves and light yearlings by that time. The weather is definitely work ing m our lavor. This sale does not discrimin ate against any class of cattle, we laKe any kind and find a market for it which is what a market agency is supposed to ao, Bray emphasized. Pesticide Residue Found Missing In State's Milk SALEM Pesticide residues have a hard time hiding away in Oregon's milk supply. The Oregon Department of ag riculture laboratories are con tinually checking dairy products of the state for any trace of res idue, as none is permitted in the milk supply. when even a trace is found the department follows with a second check. This usuallv shows all traces gone, as the de partment checks for the source of contamination, as well as checking the producer's suddIv for further contamination. Testing of dairy products for I pesticide residues was started by the department in 1960. In the early years of testing small traces that were not even meas urable amounts often showed up but there is little of this now, according to J. D. Patterson, chief chemist. And, since the start of the tests there have been only eight instances of enough residue to be measurable. The most recent was earlier this year. This was DDT found in the Harrisburg area when cattle had been dust ed. A recheck showed not even a trace. In 1962 residue was found only once. This was lindane located in milk of a producer supplying the Portland area. All of the remaining instances of the finding of residues in dairy products were in 1961, with all but one DDT. These were In the La Grande areas. Medford area, Grants Pass area and two in shippers from Idaho. The sixth in 1961 was residue from the dusting of a Corvallis herd witn mclhoxychlor. The first year that the tests were made 159 samples were tested. In 1961 tests covered 252 samples; 207 samples were test ed in 1962; and 77 samples had been tested up through July of mis year, Winter Garden's with BERMUDA ROCK .1 Chase away "Mr. Winter Litter": Hi-liglit your favorite garden areas with sunshine-bright BERMUDA ROCK.

BERMUDA ROCK DIVISION Bristol Silica Company Rogua lUfcaUAl, OCluUCrt la, liKU FROM THE GROUND UP By BART BARTLETI This is the time of year In the area of agriculture that pre sents a great amount of free time. This is, of course, free time that can be utilized either for certain farm tasks or can be used for vacations andor hunt ing. Since there are farm fanv ilies of many desires, there will be some that will use this au tumn period for hunting, fish ing or travel, as a means of recreation from the normal rou tine of the farm or ranch. In other instances there will be farm operators who will pre fer to remain busy or one or more reasons. The following chores may be accomplished about this time of year where hours of labor must be produc tively utilized. Remove Trees Orchardists can remove non productive trees. In some in stances they can begin to prune the trees, us there are plenty of leaves off and the pruning laborer can determine what cuts should be made for a satisfac tory pruning job. In other instances, the place ment of orchard heaters can be made at this time of year. The orchard soils are dry and this job can be done at less expense than in late winter when the orchard soils may be very wet. The winds of recent date are coming too late this year to do any damage to agricultural crops of the local area. How ever, it was only two days be fore this date in 1962 that the wind storms did great damage to local agricultural crops. The current winds may damage the roofs of buildings. In which case, the necessary repairs should be made before the occurrence of any heavy rains. An inspection should be made of farm and orchard properties for evidence of mice popula tions. In the event that there are large populations of mice, they should be poisoned. There are sprays for this purpose and in some instances sprays would be the preferred method of rid ding an area of mice. In other instances, an application of poi son grain is in order to control mice populations. If, after an evaluation of the mouse situa tion is made, there is any doubt regarding the proper control, consult your seed or spray chemical dealer for materials and advice. It is not too early to plun for the making of a compost pile. Almost any plant residues can be used in making compost. Such materials will include veg etable garden residues, leaves from trees, hay, corn stalks and lawn clippings. Large limbs or wood twigs should not be includ ed in the compost pile. A prop erly managed compost pile will not be a source of insects or dis eases as the heat that will be generated in its interior will be sufficient to kill the pests. Locally the winter time sports are attracting attention very early this year. The questions concerning irrigation, zoning and taxes are at hand now and this is earlier than is usually the custom for such questions to be of much interest. The best reason for a No vote on the tax referral is that the Yes vote advocates are the par asites that love money from taxed sources.

Cattlemen Over Beef SALEM Is the increased im portation of beef and veal giving direct competition to Oregon cattlemen? Weed Controls Noted for Winter, By Weed Expert By RAY 11UI1BKI.L County Weed Supervisor Anyone using S1MAZ1NE BOW for winter weed control in strawberries and caneberries will hoe less and make more money. This has been the experience ot most growers who have used Simazine BOW for selective win ter weed control in these crops. Simazine is a soil-acting, long lasting chemical that gives sel ective control of weedy annual grasses and a number of the an nual broadleavcd weeds when properly applied. Because Simazine is a soil acting herbicide, it is most ef fective as a selective weed kil ler just as the weeds are ger minating. Best results arc al ways obtained when the chemi cal can be applied ahead of germination ot the weed and when there is ample moisture to get it into the soil:. Applica tion is most effective when made Immediately following the last cultivation and hoeing in the fall, usually after the first of October. This should be done when the soil is moist and when additional rainfall is ex epected. StraH berries For strawberries, 1-M pounds ot Nmazine BOW arc applied in ; 20 or more gallons of water I per aire to give one pound of active ingredient. On heavier soils where no post harvest ap plication of Simazine has l)een made, rates up to 19 pounds of product d-'s pounds active in gredient) are applied per acre. For caiieborrv and grape treatment, up to four pounds of j miimnt' r.u may ic appmxi per acre. Where only the row is to be treated, the amount applied to the measured acre is scaled to give the correct dose. It Is important to remember when using Simazine ROW that it is a soil active chemical and works most efficiently when np- plied ahead of the germination i of weeds. Little or no toiler ac-1 tivity can be expected from Simazine so that if the weeds have become established before Garden i !

Worried Imports Paul T. Rowel!, agricultural development chief for the Ore gon Department of Agriculture has been probing for an answer fo fhis with the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture and U. S. Commerce Department officials. Oregon cattlemen have been concerned over the great in crease in imports of beef and veal from Australia and New Zealand. Rowell said last year beef imports totaled 071 mi'llion pounds, which was close to nine per cent of the U. S. production. Rowell said most imports come in as boned chilled or frozen meat with no indication as to the type or grade included. Formerly this imported boned beef was al lot lower grade for manufacturing into hamburger and processed meals and was of a grade that was in short supply from U. S. cattle produc tion. See Higher Quality Recently, however, federal meat inspection and marketing officials have reported seeing imports of higher quality beef entering this country as boneless beef, but of a quality suitable for roasts and steaks. New York City and Philadelphia are the areas from which this has been particularly reported, but Row ell said some reports of entry of this type of meat have been re ceived in Portland and other Pa cific Coast areas. Since present import regula tions do not require identifica tion of different grades or types of boneless beef, Rowell has been checking through on this matter with both the U.S. Dc-i parltnents of Commerce and Ag-! riculturc. I He has advised officials of both departments that Oregon and V. S. beef cattle producers are entitled to know the amounts and Ivncs of import comoriitinn facing them and requested de velopment of means of identify ing beef imports to provide that information. , Oregon City Paper f ;rm J0 Modernize OREGON CITY tlPD - The Publishers' Paper Co. here has announced a modernization pro gram with expenditures of $1.3 million.

Saturday's sale is open to all classes and breeds, according to Auctioneer and Manager Bob Bever. It includes cows calves, bulls and whatever oth er stock the cattlemen have. It is open to all consignments at the same commission rates as the feeder sales, $2 per head. "Bring your cattle early so we will have time to sort them the way they will bring the most money," Bever urged. "Bring your own feed if you like. For more information call Eagle Point, 497-3943 or 535 2020 in Phoenix.

Sale Comments Sale observers commented the good weather and promo tion by County Agent Earle Jossy brought out the largest number of buyers the third an nual event has seen. Consider ing the generally low market for cattle as noted at the local feeder sale the day before, prices of $600 and over were considered good. Buyers were definitely looking for range bulls and favored the animals which looked like they would produce the big, growthy calves. A number of local pros pective buyers are hunting or bringing their animals down from the mountain pastures. Some cattlemen felt it would be better to hold the bull sale later in the year for this rea son. Also, cattlemen would have the earnings from the feeder sale with which to buy bulls if the sale were later, it was pointed out.

The organisms causing these diseases survive over the winter on infested twigs and bark. Use two heaping tablespoons of neutral copper to each gallon of water. Thorough application is very important. Evergreens Do not become alarmed when you notice the old needles on your evergreens turning brown and dropping. Each year ever greens produce new leaves and some of the old ones brown and drop. Usually the annual needle drop goes unnoticed because the new needles conceal the old browning inside needles. How ever, when the summer is se vere, there is little new needle growth and the old browning needles become very evident. with pines and most needle bearing evergreens, the old needles drop off in the fall of the year. Two and three needle pines, spruce, fir, hemlock and yew retain their needles for three to five years. White pine, laurel, holly and arborvitae drop one year old needles. Hol ly foilage drops off in the spring and early summer. Effects of normal needle drop will also be more evident a year or two after evergreens are transplanted, o n evergreens planted in wet or poorly drain ed soil and on evergreens not watered regularly after being transplanted. Tuberous Begonias Tuberous begonias should be lifted before heavy frost occurs. Remove the plant tops to four inches above the tuber. Wash the tubers and dry thoroughly in a warm room for several days. The remaining stem will slip rrom the tuber when dry. j Be sure to remove all the stem ! to rot prevent possible spread of i Dust the tubers with an in secticide such as DDT and store in a cool dry place. The tubers may be stowed in an open flat filled with dry sawdust, sand or peatmoss.

Farm Bureau Has Kick-Off Session For Membership By CHARLOTTE DAVIS Mail Tribune Correspondent SISKIYOU COUNTY - Siski you County Farm Bureau mem bership committee met with state leaders for a dinner kick off session at the Taste-T Cafe in Yreka, followed by a work shop session of instruction last Friday, Oct. 4. Twenty local members were introduced by the county mem bership chairman, George Ed wards of Scott Valley to the vis itors who were: Fred Heringer. Oroville, second vice president of California Farm Bureau fed eration1 Claim MpfJhnn Mar. I tinez, director of field services of CFBF; Dale Borror, Gerber, director of Region 7; and Allen Tull, Red Bluff, field representa tive of Region 7. All membership units from the four centers of the county Butte Valley, Shasta Valley, Scott Val ley and Edgewodd were repre sented, though Butte Valley is not ready for action as yet. Joe Allen, Butte valley, who is Sis kiyou county delegate, Roger Zwanziger, Edgewood, county president, and Edwards also took part in the workshop in struction period. A panel discus sion and question and answer period followed which clarified many issues. This year's slogan Is "More in 64," meaning not only more members, but also more active participation is desirable and an ticipated. All former members are reminded to send in dues, if they have not already done so, to enable this worthwhile farm organization to have more strength in legislative matters. Summer Sprays The Walnut Husk Fly has ap peared this year for the first time in the Medford area, ac cording to Dr. Peter Westigard. Entomologist, Southern Oregon Experiment station, and C. B. Cordy, County Extension agent. This fly stings eggs into the walnut husk, these hatch and the yellow maggots which are 'i inch long feed in the husk, causing it to decompose and stain the walnuts. This stain cannot be removed, so commer cially the nuts are culls. In addition, the maggots are very repulsive. There is nothing that can be done now to reduce the infes tation in the walnut hulls. How ever, the maggots will soon drop to the ground and bur row into the soil to spend the winter. About 70 per cent of these will emerge next year as a fly about the size of the house fly. The remainder will emerge during the following 2 I years' Best control measures will result from spravs aopliod next summer, probablv in earlv August. It will be necessary to put out bait pans and determine the exact time the flies emerge and apply the sprays at that time. Two sprays to obtain con trol for the season may be re quired. " .' ".' ".w.ipi,'.wm. Chit By JCE Ma;l Tribune Last night a large plaque was presented to Harold White, Phoenix, recently retired experiment station superintendent dur ing a special dinner at North's Chuck Wagon. The engraving read: "Distinguished Service Award, Harold White, from the Farmers of Southern Oregon for outstanding re search in agriculture." White retired Jan. 31 after about 16 years at the station. The large wood and bronze memento was presented the for mer head of the Southern Oregon Branch Experiment station as captain of a research team. This team in the agronomy section included Agronomist John Yungen, Otto Heckart and Roy Welch, experimental farm technicians; and on the horticulture side it included Dr. Louis Centner, entomologist, Dr. Roland Blake, horticulturist attached to the station, plus experimental techni cians John Grim, Vaughn Quackenbush and Sid Funk. Boiling it all down to one sentence and focusing on Harold White you would say he was of a pioneering farm family and con tinued pioneering in agriculture. Much of the agronomic research and research in other than fruit crops is attributed to him. White, Dr. Gentner and an OSU man had major roles in developing Talent alfalfa, the seed of which is shipped now to European countries. White had a big hand in developing improved grasses and cereal grain varieties, helped raise the production of silage corn to its present high levels. He also helped develop fertilizer recommendations for forage and seed crops and initiated a truck crops research program in 1957. This concentrated on new sweet corn and tomato varieties. He started the test program for hybrid onions. What has been accomplished in horticulture at the experi ment station is controversial with many valley pear men. While was not a horticulturist, but the work was done under his ad ministration. He accomplished the orderly transfer of horticul tural materials from the old station on the South Pacific highway in the Phoenix-Talent area to the new Hanley station near Jacksonville. The stations horticultural work includes the research done on controlled atmospheric storage to prolong the storage life of pears, and control of pear psylla, work done by Dr. Gentner, entomologist. Results of an experiment station study on pear thinning when followed by a few pear growers last year made the difference in profitable large Bartlett pears or an over-abundant supply of small ones. White's service to agriculture is a lengthy one. He was graduated from what was then Oregon State College in 1920. He started the vocational agriculture program in Lebanon high school, then went to McMinnville. Two years later he was trans ferred to the educational department at Corvallis where ha helped train vo-ag teachers. Although experiment station work is applying sciences to re search problems, the vo-ag instructor background did give White a better knowledge of farmers' problems. As indicated above, White often found himself pulled in three directions in administering research programs. There was the pull between farming interests wanting more research work for their particular segment of agriculture. Then there was the pull between local farmers' needs and what the authorities at Oregon State university thought should be done, plus the in evitable competition between OSU research departments seeking more work under their particular programs. Too often the farmer or fruit grower with a serious problem affecting his crops seemed to expect a rabbit-out-of-the- hat type of solution. As those who have been in research know, the only quick answers were worked out years ago. Otherwise research is slow, painful, tedious hard work. White was raised on a farm near Cave Junction which is tho only "Century Farm" in Josephine county. The farm, which has been in the White family for over 100 years or a century, now covers 90 acres in the Sucker creek valley between Oregon Caves and Cave Junction. White's grandfather came from Michigan to Southern Oregon about 1852. Then Kerbyville, Jacksonville and other such towns made this region appear as the metropolis of Oregon. The Wil lamette valley settlements had not started to grow much then. White's mother was one of the first white girls born in Oregon, at Sweethome. His grandfather was a stage driver out of Jack sonville in the 1860's. I White is plenty active at 66 for the 33rd consecutive year. Although he is frequently in touch with the experiment station, White doesn't work with agriculture any more. He has some small acreage off the South Pacific highway "with a lot of little jobs which have been waiting to bo done." Often at the center of controversy while experiment station superintendent, A'hite can now sit back and watch the ever changing kaleidoscope of local politics. He has earned his resl. 11 UNICO STOCK TANKS 5 Sh Elect Tink Heitcr 8S0 Warn $12.95 5 was oklessV!5 ric Stock SSt 6 ft. round approx. 395 gal. w $54.35 NOW ONLY $46.20 4 ft. round end approx. 100 gal. was $24.85 NOW ONLY $21.10 8 ft. round end approx. 320 gal. was $51.75 NOW ONLY $43.98 - - . i flit m T- Chat COWLEY Farm Editor vcars.
