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."

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
