Hearing Called For November 12 On Milk Laws SALEM The Oregon De partment of Agriculture has called a hearing for Tuesday, November 12, at 2 p.m. to con sider the inclusion of a state ment of policy on out-of-state milk in recently adopted milk stabilization regulations. The hearing will be at the agriculture building, Salem. This hearing was requested by Gerson Goldsmith, attorney for Farmers Dairy associa t i o n, Portland, a Darigold affiliate. He wants the statement includ ed that the department will not apply or enforce the stabiliza tion law "to milk produced out side of Oregon and transported into Oregon except as otherwise provided in said regulation." The regulation on out-of-state milk now reads: Law Quoted "An out-of-state producer sup plying milk to an Oregon han dler may be assigned quota and participate in market-wide pool i n g and equalization on the same basis as an Oregon pro ducer, providing a voluntary contract exists between the out- of-state producer and his Ore gon handler, or in the case of a cojperative handler by resolu tion of the governing board, which provides that the pro ducer's milk be subject to the jurisdiction of the State of Ore gon and share in all the benefits and obligations under all the terms and conditions of ORS. Chapter 442, Oregon Laws 1963 (Milk Stabilization Act). In event of such a contract, milk produced by the out-of-state pro ducer, may be pooled with milk from Oregon producers on the same basis as if it were pro duced in Oregon. "In event there is no such voluntary contract between an out-ot-state producer, or pro ducers, and an Oregon handler, then the Oregon handler must maintain a separate pool for any out-of-state milk received at his plant. If a handler is maintain ing two or more separate pools as provided by this subsection, no greater percentage of Class 1 utilization can be allocated to one pool than to the other unless the milk and all the records re lating thereto are kept physical ly segregated. "Milk pooled separately as provided in subsection (2) of this section will not be subject to fees as provided by section 9 and 18 of Chapter 442, Oregon Laws 1963."

Agafe Dairy Has Top DHIA Rated Herd,Vander SfoetHerdftajiks Steady Second APatP flflirv Control Pnint i nniinJi! oni 1 oci u,m4. ..- fV..... t:i A I . r, n . n .. ..... ....... a ' Agate Dairv. Central Point had the top dairy herd for two consecutive months, accord ing to figures released bv the Jackson County Dairy Herd Im provement association, County Agent Earle Jossy reported this week. (Since the DHIA records are run through a data processing center reports are usually a montn or two behind.) In July Agate Dairy had a butterfat average of 48 per cent ana 45 per cent in August. The dairy has 21 cows. Five per cent of the herd was dry in July and none in August. Milk ing average for July was 1,394 FROM THE GROUND UP By BART BARTUn iiiiiiiiiiiimuu' mi The weather pattern for the area has changed along with the departure of daylight saving time. This past Sunday morning ar rived with the lowest tempera ture and the heaviest frost to be recorded for this fall. The ar rival of freezing temperatures and frost means that many lo cally grown crops such as corn, beans, peppers, tomatoes, cu cumbers, as well as many of the vine crops such as melons, squash and pumpkins will very soon all be gone. Local fruit stands will very likely have good supplies of these crops for sale during the coming week. In case you have some ideas about processing these crops this year, the time for securing supplies is becoming critical. Home gardeners can keep a few frost susceptible plants going for several days yet if they are carefully covered each cold night. The cover should be removed during the daytime. The plants will need exposure to light, and if kept constantly covered some pests such as slugs may destroy them. Home fires are an ever pres ent menace during the months when home heating is necessary. Many home fires can be avoided if certain simple precautions are taken by home owners. All stoves and heaters should be cleaned and checked for fire hazards. Repairs should be made when necessary. Chimneys and stove pipes should be made safe. The controls, motors and generators of all heating equip ment should be in good working order. In addition to these pre cautions, the house wiring and fuse boxes should be checked for safety. Fruit tree pruning can be done any time now. There will be no injurious effects to trees that are pruned before they are fully dor mant and have lost most of their leaves. In commercial practice, pruning is done after leaf fall, but this is only desirable so that pruners can readily see what cuts should be made, and make them without undue delays. An excellent time to burn the summer's accumulation of brush and other rubbish is now. The hazard of an outdoor fire spread ing is now over and the brush is not yet so water soaked that it will not burn. It seems rather clear that the citizens of Oregon desire first of all some economy in state gov ernment. This is proven by the polls taken by many of the state's newspapers. In the event the governor and members of the legislature doubt this they should be ready to get out of state politics as their possible expulsion from office will be the next act of Oregon taxpayers. pounds and 1,361 pounds for August. Jake Vander Stoel, Jackson ville, had the second top herd for the two months. His herd's butterfat percentage for July was 42 per cent and 43 per cent for August.
