Southern Oregon should begin 'derosa Pine, several true Firs,
now to make plans for this ' several species of Pine, Cedars
jedrsireepdmng.
They should first select the I
area they wish to reforest and j
then pick the species of trees
that are best suited for this
area. When planting trees for
the first time they should seek
assistance from reliable
sources.
Generally, trees grow better
on north slopes, with east, west
and south progressively less fa
vorable. Actually south slopes
present worst problems, but are
still not unsolvable.
All trees prefer ample mois
ture accompanied by good
drainage. They like water but
don't want wet feet. A landown
er should avoid poorly drained
areas and places that flood from
high water. As stated, trees,
like people, prefer a good com
fortable existence. This is prob
ably the main reason for South
ern Oregon's rapidly expanding
population increase. Trees, like
people, will tolerate certain ad
versities and still thrive. This
tolerance varies with individual
species.
Firs of all kinds require more
moisture than pines. True Firs
are usually the most demanding
in this respect, and they even
vary in their moisture require
ments among themselves.
Tree Spacing
After the area has been se
lected and the tree species and
their use decided, then the num
ber of trees to purchase is the
next matter to be considered.
If trees are going to be planted
for Christmas trees, a four foot
by four foot spacing can be
used. At this rate, 2722 trees
per acre can be planted. At five
feet by five feet spacing 1,742
trees can be planted per acre.
If trees are going to be used for
reforestation a six feet by seven
feet or six feet by eight feet
spacing is adequate, using ap
proximately 1,000 trees. For
specific recommendations, con
tact your state farm forester.
Trees for reforestation, Christ
mas trees, windbreaks and
other purposes will again be
available from Oregon state
nurseries at Elkton and Corval
lis. A supply of seedling order
blanks will arrive at your farm
forester's office and your coun
ty agent's office on or near the
first of November. Interested
landowners may write in to Post
Office Box 71, Medford. and put
their names on my mailing list.
In the past, quick ordering has
been necessary to obtain Noble
and Shasta Fir seedlings.
Garden Tips
By JOHN W. McI.OUfilII.1N
County Extension Agent
Continue mowing
vour lawn 1
as long as there is grass to cut.
Keep the lawn free of leaves and
mulches as they smother and
cause lawn diseases.
After the grass stops growing,
give your lawn mower a good
cleaning before winter storage.
This will extend the mower's
life and the mower will give
better performance.
Remove all grass, leaves, and
dirt from the mower. Check the
blade or cutter bar for sharp
ness. A sharp blade is important
for good lawn appearance and
. makes mowing a lot easier.
Sharpen the blade now so it
will be ready next spring.
Adiust the cutting units for
rotary and reel type mowers. To
check the reel type hold a piece
of paper between the knife blade
and reel and slowly turn the
reel by hand. Each reel blade
should cut the paper along the
entire knife blade.
Before storing gasoline en
gines, drain the tank, carburetor
and gas lines. Sometimes gaso
line in storage develops a gum
mv substance and forms a varnish-like
coating. If this happens
it may be necessary to remove
the carburetor and clean it with
. a solvent. Squirt some oil into
' the spark plug openings to give
the cylinder walls and pistons a
good coating of oil.
Asparagus Care
Resist the urge to make your
asparagus bed look neat for the
winter. The tops or brush is bet
ter left on. This will protect the
soil from erosion and allow the
plant to overwinter in a natural,
undamaged condition.
Decorative Cones
Fresh cones collected in the
fall rapidly lose their pleasing
appearance if they are covered
with pitch. This pitch can be
easilv removed from the cone
bv heating. First, clean the
cones of any foreign materials
bv the use of a blower. The
blower and crevice attachment
on vour vacuum cleaner is very
offortive for this c eanmg. Put
the conea on a (oil covered tray i

FROM
THE
GROUND
UP
By BART BARTLETI
The area generally is enjoy
ing very nice weather. There has
been no loss of late crops due
to storms or freezes.
This makes for an abundance
of good food at very reasonable
prices. In many instances some
agricultural items can be bought
now for storage or processing
and result in considerable sav
ings as far as the family food
is concerned.
There is some evidence of in
jury on the leaves of plants that
were growing in areas where
certain weed control chemicals
were used to eliminate weeds.
There is generally little to no
lasting foliage injury in in
stances where the hormone type
weed killers were applied with
care.
These materials, once the
proper formulation is selected,
will do a good job of pest con
trol with practically no danger
to economic plants. These weed
killers must be properly applied
however if the desired results
are to be obtained from their
use. The weed control chemicals
that have shown some injury to
crop plants are those that act
at or near the soil surface. The
leaf pattern that results from
these chemicals is very specific
and therefore easily identified.
Woody I'lanls
In the case of woody plants
such as fruit trees and ornamen
tals, it is to be expected that the
injury will not be either damag
ing or long lasting as a foliar
pattern. In some instances the
plants that show such injury this
year will outgrow during the
coming season, like plants that
were hand cultivated.
It is too early yet to dig and
drv for storage such items as
Dahlia tubers. Let this type of
plant go, if possible, until frost
damages tne tops.
Bee hives should have some
extra protection during winter
months. They should be well pro
tected from both excessive mois
ture and low temperatures. As
compared to modern bee hives,
,ne insulation value of hollow
trees is superior to that of the
thin fir or pine board bee hive.
Pasture lands should soon be
gin to provide improved graz
ing for farm animals. There has
been some moisture in rain
showers and in addition the fog
and dews of each night are sup
plying considerable moisture for
grazing plants. The days are not
sufficiently warm or dry to dis
sipate much soil moisutre.
Fertilizer Applications
asked
The question is always
each fall concerning fertilizer
applications. We will cover some
of the reasons why and why not
in a future column. Briefly, no
nitrogen fertilizers should be
applied at this time of year in
this area to such crops as fruit
trees, strawberries, alfalfa or
any other type of crop that is
dormant or semi-dormant dur
ing winter. Nitrogen may be
beneficial to some grazing or
cover crops when applied at this
time of year. In no case should
heavy applications of nitrogen
be made now. The plants can
not use as much nitrogen during
short days as during long days.
Therefore the winter rains will
only leach nitrogen out of the
soil.

Meat Inspectors
Total Inspection
Figures Released
SALEM Meat inspectors
with the Oregon Department of
Agriculture checked a total of
297.646 animals for slaughter
during the first nine months of
this year.
These meat inspection figures
released today by the depart
ment, also showed inspectors
condemed a total of 565 ani
mals, 14 before slaughter and
551 as whole carcasses imme
diately after slaughter.
Behind these condemnat i o n
figures is the story of the de
partment's continual vigil, to
protect the health of the people
of Oregon through its meat in
spection program. All of the re
jected carcasses were condemn
ed because of disease that could
be transmitted to humans or an
unhealthy condition that had
spread throughout the animal.
pneumonia, some forms of
which are transmissible to hu
mans, led the list in causes for
condemnations, with 172 carcas
ses rejected for this reason.
Infections
Systemic infections result-
ing from the spread of bacteria
or viruses throughout the body
with potential transmission to
humans was second, with 75.
Various forms of cancer were
the reason for rejection of 49 of
the carcasses.
More cattle were condemned
post - mortem (immediately aft
er slaughter) than all of the
other animals combined. Total
number of cattle rejected for
the nine - month period was 344.
Swine was second, with 147 con
demnations. Other post mortem
condemnations were: Calves 10;
sheep 48: horses 1.
In addition to the rejection of
whole animals, inspectors, who
are on the job throughout t h e
slaughter operation, condemned
96.689 parts of animals during
the first nine months of this
year. Livers accounted for most
of these condemnations, with
80,264 rejected. Leading causes
for condemnation of livers were
abscesses, flukes and parasites.
Other parts condemned were:
Heads 11,355: hearts. 4,605: kid
neys 263; tongues 186.
Insecticides Talk
To Garden Club
Given by Adviser
MONTAGUE Precautionary
measures in the use of insecti
cides and the need for their use
was the basis of a talk given by
Bill Ruddiman of the farm ad
visor's office in Yreka, when he
spoke for the October 4 meeting
of the Shasta Valley Garden
club, at the home of Mrs. Sidney
Terwilliger in Little Shasta.
Mrs. Edward Clement, presi
dent conducted the session,
which was well attended. It was
decided that the club would pro
vide Thanksgiving treats and
favors for the Senior citizens at
the Siskiyou County hospital, in
stead of at Christmas, as has
been done the past several
years. A work shop to prepare
items for favors is scheduled for
11 a.m. on Nov. 1, at the home
of Mrs. Aldee Davis. The regu-
'ar November meeting will fol-
iuw uie bdiue mieiuuuii.
To Hold Tournament
The club will hold a card
tournament in a scries of six,
with pinochle and dutch whist
to be played. The parties will he
held every other Thursday, the
first one to be at the Montague
Club room on Oct. 17, at 8 p.m.
Prizes and refreshments will be
offered. At the end of the series,
the person holding the highest
cumulative score, will be given
a special prize.
The home and garden Christ
mas decorating contest will
again be sponsored by the club,

A a holnful hint in nrrtnn.
ing, Mrs. Prather. who is horti-1
cultural chairman, suggested
planting of amaryllis around the .
outside of the main garden to
control gophers, as the bulb is
poisonous to the rodent.
Ruddiman warned his audi
ence in using insecticides, that
precaution should be exercised.
Users should not inhale the
spray, should wash hand im
mediately after use, and wear
protective clothing, which can
be removed after the job is
completed. Best results are ob
tained only when sprays ar !d

when properly handled and
used, insecticides can be bene-
ficial. When not used production
can be cut as much as one
third.

Conlrovcrsial Cancer Cures
I am distressed when I see
laymen trying to determine
the value of a supposed cancer
cure, especially after the ex
perts in the great Washington
laboratories have analyzed the
stuff and have found it to be
plain tap water, or perhaps a
common substance like table
salt, which no one would think
of prescribing for a patient with
cancer.
Years ago the government
chemists kept saying that the
then most widely - sold cancer
cure" was nothing but tap
water, but no one paid any at
tention to them; and the water
continued to sell like hot-cakes
for large prices. Today, with
Koch a fugitive from justice, 1
imagine his "cure," like Hox
ey's, Coffey - Hunber's, and a
dozen others, is as dead as the
Dodo.
Recently I saw a picture of
people picketing the White
House demanding the right to
buy the latest "cancer cure,"
which in 14 years does not seem
to have been able to impress it
self favorably on the physicians
of the world. As always hap
pens, laymen are convinced of
the value of a supposed cancer
cure the minute someone who
had a cancer, or was supposed
to have one, took the medicine,
and felt better, or for a while
did not die. Usually the fact
that the person had had his can
cer cut out, and had then re
ceived much x-ray treatment
does not suggest to the people
that such treatment could be
what is helping him.
Means Nothing
To a physician of experience,
improvement of a patient with
cancer, after his taking a drug,
means nothing, because the doc
tor has seen so many people
with hopeless cancer who took
no medicine and for a while
felt fine, or did not die.
To show what I mean: About
1915, a friend of mine had such
a terribly malignant cancer on
his foot that immediately a sur
geon took off his whole limb
at the hip. Quickly the tumor re
appeared in the man's groin,
and. according to the rules, he
should have been dead in three
months, but without any medi
cine he remained alive and

few years ago, he was fat and

would have received. Actually,
some 5 per cent of people with
cancer refuse to die of it.

t
Roundup
Now, the U.S. Government
senAs me a "release" showing
that our latest "cure," like all
previous ones, has proved to be
an ordinary chemical which any
cancer victim can secure in
enormous amounts simply by
eating a beef - steak. What im
presses me is that the findings
in Bethesda have been checked
and found corrct bv several
eminent chemists in several
great universities and institu
tions. What bothers me is why any
layman, even a U.S. Senator,
should believe that he is capable
of deciding the value of a "can
c c cure." Even with all my
medical training I would never
think of attempting to make
such a decision. I would leave it
up to the world s experts in
Bethesda, or New York.
Charges Disgusting
I am disgusted when someone
tells me that we physicians
just out of jealousy for years,
kept some quack, or some self
deluded enthusiast, like Dr.
Coffey, from getting credit for
his "cancer cure." This is so
silly. Did we doctors try to
block the discovery of any of
the great curative drugs which
were found for us in the last ;I0
years? No; our tendency has
been to grab a drug out of the
hands of the discoverer before
he has had lime to determine
that its use is safe.
Finally, will someone please
tell me if ever a quack or a self
deluded enthusiast discovered a
drug of great value to man
kind? I cannot think of one. and
I have been reading the history
of medicine for half a century.
When the medical profession
refuses to have much to do with
a drug it is always because the
man promoting it nehaves in a
stereotyped and easily recog
nizable way; he always cne to
high heaven that no one will
test it. but he always reluses to
say wnat it is; nc reitiscs as
long as he can to comply with
the law and to let ihe govern
ment chemists test it, and he
charges large sums for small
doses of the substance. Always,
when tested, the "cure" tutus
out to be some old and common
and cheap chemical.
I wish my lay friends knew
that always a true physician,
when he makes a great ois
covery, immediately givei it
freely to humanity. Hanting,

Burros Considered Nice Pets
For Local
Bv MARY ALICE RKUSIIA
The burro who wants the bet
ter things in life, and has been
searching for them can stop if
he will visit the Wilson ranch at
3329 Military Road, Medford.
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Wilson are
the owners of the farm. They
are the parents of four children,
Jim 14, Marty 11, Bernadette 9.
and Priscilla Jo 4. They moved
to the Rogue valley a little over
a year ago, bringing a Siamese
cat, and the pet poodle.
It was Mrs. Wilson who decid
ed on the purchase of the bur
ros. Neither she, or Mr. Wilson
had ever been around this type
of animal before, and the whole
project was a challenge. Tulip,
the mother of Snoopy were
brought to the farm. The Wil
sons soon discovered that the
burros were a friendly lot. They
craved affection and attention.
The children soon learned to
harness and ride Tulip. They
have learned the responsibility
associated with personal owner
ship of farm animals. The chil
dren in the neighborhood are
also allowed to ride Tulip.
Educational Year

all seem to feel this past year
has been a very educational

June I, another little burro
was foaled at the farm, Juniper

quite a bit of excitement. It
seems that the baby burro had
managed to enter the world
near the fence, and in some odd
way had maneuvered its way
under the wire. Tulip, the moth
er sensing the danger involved
to her offspring tried to call for
help, her faint brays, as she
has always had difficulty bray

family. The entire household
came to the rescue. In a short
time Mr. Wilson had the new
born burro safely tucked in a
bed of soft straw in the barn.
Other than the weakness found
in Tulip's vocal chords, the bur
ros are perfect specimens of
of little horses.

Since the first discovery of

Central Asia, where they are
still found in a perfectly wild
state, vast troops still roam
over the great Asiatic deserts,
migrating according to the sea
son, in summer as far north as
the Ural; in the winter, south
ward to the borders of India.
According to the Old Testa
ment these animals were used
for domestic drudgery, such as
pack animals, and beasts of
burden, they are the emblem
oi patic-"e and stolidity. Today
In some parts of the East, they
arc reserved by members of
the Royal Family to ride in
parades. The poorer classes in
some lands still use them as
their only draft animals.
In Britain, they were chiefly
employed by the poor. The price
of one animal is scarcely one
twentieth the price of a horse,
and it can be kept for one
fourth of the expense. It likes
coarse herbage other animals
reject, and is satisfied with
comparatively scanty fare. The
obstinancy so often associated
with these animals seems to be
generally the result of ill treat
ment. They are quite equal in
intelligence to the horse.
Difference Explained
There is a difference between
the burro, donkey, and the jack
ass. The distinction is founded
on the upper part of the tail,
and the tuft at the end of it.
The darker stripes with which
the color is marked, and the ab
sence of the hard bony warts,
which are found on the hind legs
of the horse, although the fore
legs exhibit warts in the same
position. The long cars are one
of Ihe characteristics of the
species, and arc longer in do
mestication than in the wild
state. The cross on the shoul
ders also affords a distinguish
ing mark, the color is grey; but
when the color is lighter or
darker than usual, the cross is
often less apparent. The facial
line is arched.
Some of the experts refer to
the call of the donkey as a
neigh; and the call of the burro
and jackass, as a bray. Be that
as it may, there is a difference
between the three.
In early limes a leather call
ed Shagreen was made from the
skins of these animals. The fi
nest of the leather was used in
drums, the other for making
shoes. Flutes were made in an
cient times from the solid bones
of animals.
However none of these fates
are in store for the burros on
the Wilson ranch. They will con
tinue to live in their luxurious
quarters provided by their own
ers. They will be ridden by
