The fact remains that the orchardists are still ahead in their conversion rate of new heaters lor om. aome 01 me mmuer mmo are lagging behind in their efforts to reduce air pollution. County Judge Earl Miller said he had received reports that two mills were burning lumper scrap in It has been a bad year for both lumber and fruit industries. Parhanc a tpmnorarv moratorium should be called. Fruit and lumber are our main economic apply the anti-air pollution screws too tignuy. We saw the effect of the orchard heater conversion to the less smoke-producing kind during the recent heating season. Out in the northern part of tne valley, particularly, we noticed mere was little smoke as we drove along in the wee hours of the morn ing. Under former conditions there would have been a dense layer of smokey tog. Tulare county, Calif., has outlawed old methods of orchard heating now. Only clean burning orchard heaters may be used now. Forbidden is burning stacks of rubber tires and oil in open containers except by special permission.

"The return stacks will cost more but they are more efficient, have less maintenance and a greater heat output," Cunningham said. This is a debatable point. The old fashioned square heaters with slide lids would require little maintenance and burn over a greater surface so spread the heat more horizontally than the return stacks, orchardists point out. They do, however, produce more smoke. FARM Woodlot By DICK OLSON State Farm Forester October and November usually mark the time when in quiries regarding Christmas tree buyers and sellers begin to come in to your farm forester's office. This year the Christmas tree nniiviiv thus far. has been slow. 1 am DreDarlnc a list of local and out-of-state buyers and sellers to supplement the lists prepared by the extension service. Any Buyers or senem are urged to contact me u as sistance is desired. Field Trip On Wednesday, Nov. 13, a field trip sponsored by the Jackson County Farm Forestry committee will be held. The main topic of discussion will be Chrismas tree farming and tree planting. Natural Christ mas tree sites and tree plan tations will be visited and on the ground discussions and demonstrations will be the order of the day. The tour will begin from the Jackson county extension office at 9:30 A.M. Weather permitting, the tour will be held in the Dead Indian area. If snowed out of this area, an alternate location will be visited. Warm clothing should be worn and a sack lunch should be carried. A warm and cozy spot for consumption of lunch will be provided. For fur ther information call your county extension office or farm forester. Interested landowners and Christmas tree growers from Josephine County are wel comed to attend. Bring along your experience and questions and everyone will benefit from them. Quality Needed It is my opinion that South' ern Oregon has a great un- taDDcd income resource in Christmas tree growing. Most land owners have good Christ mas tree growing land that is already, or could be put into, erowing C h r i st m a s trees. Another important item that is in our favor is that we are rela tively close to the large Call' fornia markets. Tho main problem at the present time is quality. Each year that I am associated with Christmas tree production, I see a greater stress and dc mand put on quality. During the past years much of our land has been nighgraded lor Christ mas trees. This leaves us with many poor quality trees with only a few premium ones. In tensive Christmas tree culture is the only way to overcome this situation. Assistance both on the field and written can be obtained at Christmas tree tours, such as the one being held this week, and at local extension and state forestry on ices. Before Christmas trees or other miscellaneous forest prod' ucts are harvested both from your own land or other, Hap vest Permit is required. This permit is for the protection of the landowners throughout Ore gon. The harvest permit can be picked up, free of charge, at he state forestry headquarters In Jackson and Josephine coun ties.

Kenneth W. Sawyer, chief of the milk audit and stabilization division of the Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture, reminds producers that quotas bought with the cows can change when the department reviews the quo tas in March, 1964. At that time the four low pro duction months of the previous lz-montn period win be used as a base for computing quotas. This means a drop in produc tion in the herd from which the producer seciirprl cows would lower the share of that herd's quota that he purchased. Sawyer has been urging dairy' men purchasing milk cows to be sure the herd production is suf ficient to support the herd s quota and then to agree on the percentage of the monthly pro duction record they will acquire with the quota. He advises all producers purchasing additional cattle from a herd with quota to clear with tho milk audit and stabilization division before the sale is completed. Some 1,400 grade A producers in area 1, which includes all of the state except Harney, Mai heur and Curry counties, have been operating under a market pool with quotas set by the state since Oct. 1. Dally class 1 quotas assigned producers in this area total 1,628,944 pounds. Curry, Harney and Malheur counties petitioned to operate under distributor pools with dairymen's quotas set by the distributor. These quotas are not necessarily affected by produc tion records. All areas of the state have minimum class 1 and class 2 prices set by the state regard- less of the type of pool in effect. These prices have been In ef' feet since Aug. 1. WESTERN WHITE WHEAT SALEM National Associa tion of Marketing Officials has louowed the lead of the Nation al Association of State Depart ments of Agriculture in support ing wheat growers of the North west In their objection to the re deslgnation of western white wheat as mixed white wheat, HENRY HARTMAN New Man-of-the-Year Hartman To Get Man of Year AgricultureAward The Oregon Farm Bureau Federation will honor their Man of the Year" with their special "Gold Medal" award for distinguished service to uregon agriculture in presentation cere monies Tuesday evening at their convention in Salem. The award, presented annual ly to the man who has contrib uted the most to Oregon agri culture, will be presented to Henry Hartman, the man who built the pear industry in Ore gon. Hartman was head of the hor ticultural department at Oregon Mate university from 1942 until his retirement in 1955. He still continues to work on rest arch and has full time duties .o a teacher. Fruit Growers of Oregon hon ored him in 1953 by presenting him with the first trophy for "outstanding H o r t i culturist" and named the annual trophy after Hartman. Achievements His research achievements are highlighted by his contri bution to the pear industry. During 1929-30, Hartman work ed out the pear handling prob lems, which kept Oregon from realizing its full market poten tial, He recommended proper harvest time for pear varieties and ascertained the length of time different varieties could be kept in cold storage. He found the serious scald problem in D'Anjou pears could be controlled by an "oil wrap" and the problem of gray mold decay could be overcome with a special copperized wrap that today is known as the Hart man wrap." Bofore Hartman wrap, mold took a heavy toll of pears shipped to eastern mar kets. Another contribution was the paraffin liners for pear boxes that all but eliminated friction bruises in shipment. Other activities at the ban quet will include the presenta tion of 30-Year Service Awards to Mrs. Frances Clinton Hall, County Extension Agent, Klam ath Falls, and Professor D. Curtis Mumford, Agricultural Economist, OSU. The Farm Bureau Editorial award will also be made during the annual banquet. Speaker for the banquet will be Ernest L. Wilkinson, Presi dent, Brigham Young Univer sity, Provo, Utah. Commodity leaders from across the state will be on hand for the Farm Bureau banquet and greetings will be brought from the President of the Fu ture Farmers of America and from the Oregon Dairy Prin cess.

Farm & Closer Surveillance Set On Stock Disease SALEM Closer surveillance of cattle and hoe diseases and eventual eradication of some of these diseases in Oregon is the aim of changes in Oregon's live stock regulations being propos ed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. The proposed regulations will be discussed at a hearing at the agriculture building. Salem Oct. 22 at 1:30 p.m. une ot tne proposed changes revises the list of animal dis eases to be reported by practic ing veterinarians and designates diseases mat are to be reported to the veterinary division of the Oregon Department of Agricul ture immediately upon their be ing diagnosed. Report Immediately in this list to be reported im mediately are: Anthrax, blue tongue, encephalomyelitis, hog cholera, mucosal disease, New castle disease, ornithosis, ra bies, scabies, scrapie, vesicular diseases and any kind of exotic disease. Other diseases on the revised list are to be reported monthly on forms provided by the de partment. Regulations affecting cattle cover tuberculosis and epithe lioma oi tne eye or cancer eye. mi , ,.. j iney inciuae: Import Restrictions on Tuber culosisWould eliminate the re quirement of a negative tuber culosis test within 30 days of entry into uregon of dairy cattle from those states west of the eastern boundary of the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The 30-day require ment would still be in effect on dairy cattle and purebred beef cattle coming from east of these states; those cattle with tuber culosis status unknown or of un known origin; and those tiom non-modified accredited tuber culosis areas. Tuberculosis Testing Proce dureIf a tuberculosis test re veals suspects in a herd with no previous T.B. history the sus pects will be quarantined and retested in not less than 60 nor more than 90 day intervals. If Garden Tips By JOHN W. McLOUGHLIN County Extension Agent Tree Planting Before you plant a tree on the home grounds, consider the purpose the tree is to serve, Do you want the tree to frame the house or to give shade to some portion of the house. Pos sibly you may want to screen an objectionable view. If you want to frame your house, the ideal location is usu ally somewhere along a line extending from each corner of the house. The distance the tree is planted from the house will depend upon the average diam eter of a full grown tree of the species selected. Locate the tree at a distance equal to one-half the diameter of the tree when mature. This will assure you against damage to the house by the movement of the branches, Should this location fall on a drive, walk or the neighbor's property, move the tree location to the nearest unpaved area on your property. If this location is too near a building, use a smaller tree. Remember when locating a tree to shade some portion of the house that the angle at which the sun's rays strike the house diners in winter and sum mer. If the tree is to shade an outdoor patio, determine what time of day the paho will be used to the greatest extent. It will then be a simple matter to decide upon the best location for the tree. When screening an objection able view, it is usually desirable to locate the trees as close to the property line as possible. This will avoid the barrier of trees dividing the lawn into two sections. It you plan on planting a street tree and live within the Medford city limits, consult the Medford Street Tree Planting Commission at the Medford City Hall. This way you can find out the selected tree species for your street. Tree Spacing Trees should seldom be plant ed so close together that the branches ot one tree touch the branches of another when both trees are full grown. Such close spacing would give too much of a shut-in effect to the land scape design. One good "rule of thumb" to use is that one large tree such as (hornless Honcylocust for ev ery 100 feet square (10.000 square feet) is adequate. Small trees such a flowering Dogwood may be used in addition to the large trees. An exception to the above suggestions concerning the spac ing of trees is where the trees are to be used as screens. In this case, it is easily seen that they should be planted close enough together so that their branches will intermingle. This will create a dense screen ot continuous effect for as great a distance as the screen is de MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDt-ORD, OREGON Garden there is a history of T.B. Infeo tion the herd will be quaran tined when one or more sus pects are found and all cattle over six months of age will be retested at not less than 60 nor more than 90 day intervals. Epithelioma of the Eye Would designate which animals with epithelioma of the eye could be sold through tne auc tion market ring and which must be sold from the market's quarantine pen. Regulation proposals pertain ing to swine are designed to control hog cholera, brucellosis swine erysipelas and leptospi rosis. Swine Quarantine Swine entering Oregon for breeding or feeding or any pur pose other than slaughter would be quarantined to the premises of the first destination for 21 days after date of entry. When tne auction market is the first premise the quarantine would be imposed on the first premise after leaving the auction mar ket. The swine must also have been vaccinated for hog cholera by one of the following approved methods: Modified live virus vaccine with or without anti hog cholera serum or killed or inactive hog cholera virus vac cine. The vaccination would have to be not less than 21 days prior to date of entry Into Ore gon. Those swine arriving at an Oregon public stockyard without vaccination tor nog cnoiera would have to be vaccinated be fore removal by one of the above methods and quarantined at the buyer's ranch. Baby pigs under six weeks of age would be permitted to move into Oregon without vaccination if they are nursing a vaccinated sow. All breeding swine, except baby pigs, would be required to be vaccinated within four month prior to entry into Ore gon for swine erysipelas and eptospirosis. They also would have to have their vaccination history on the health certificate. Pesticide Loss Shows Big Drop Research Shows SALEM Reports of losses from application of pesticides investigated this year by the uregon Department of Agricul ture dropped to 33 from a total of 71 in 1902. Twenty-seven of those losses reported were valid with dam age varying from slight to heavy. three reports of losses were not investigated by the depart ment. Reasons for non-investigations were: Harvest of crop prior to investigation; no reply was received to a letter for warded to claimant regarding tne payment of expense in event applicator was not licensed; the other report was received from an area where several other in vestigations previously had shown the problem was from a blight situation and 2,4-D. The reports, which came from 13 separate counties, involved 21 air applications and six ground applications. The latter involved two farmer applica tions, two railroad, one state highway and one county high way. Fifteen of the claims investi gated were from the use of 2,4-D and on three occasions it was applied to the wrong field. Others were: Drift of Dibrom three; use of Swin, two; drift of Sodium Arscnitc, one; and use of D I q u a t and Des-I Catc, six. One of the latter was from application to the wrong field and one pointed toward failure to shut off the spray or leaking nozzles on aircraft. The department is charged with licensing commercial spray applicators this year there were 129 air applicators and 242 ground and may Investigate examine and determine the ex tent and nature of alleged dam age to property or crops from use or application of pesticides. However, the department cannot determine the source of the damage, the person who may have caused the damage or the financial extent of the loss or damage. On request the department may also serve as a mediator for an equitable settlement in the event of a controversy over damage from pesticides. National Airlines To Buy Boeing Jets SEATTLE (UPI) - National Airlines has signed an agree ment lo buy seven Boeing 727 jet airliners with an option tor three additional 727s, J. 0. Yeasling, vice president and general manager of Boeing's airplane division, announced Monday. Purchase price of the seven planes is $30 million. Boeing ?27s will become operational with National's fleet in the fall of 1964. FROM THE GROUND UP iy BART BARTLCfl The application of supplemen tal plant nutrients to agricul tural soils in the form of ferti lizers may and often does in fluence crop production in sev eral ways. The simple concept that an applied nutritional element di rectly supplies a given need for the economic plants con cerned may be true, then again the response noted may in no way reflect direct vsage by the plant of the nuti -jat in ques tion. The nutritional elements that are contained in a complete for mulation of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash (N-P-K) fertilizer may individually or collectively influence crop yields in several ways besides providing nutri ents to the soil that are directly used by the plant in its growth and development. The calcium, sulfate and some other chemical that is carried by the fertilizer may be impor tant in the nutrition of green plants. The calcium may act as a soil conditioner and so im prove the structure of the soil that its aeration ana drainage character is made more favor able as an invironment for plant roots. Root System The mere fact that the root system is larger and has an abundant supply of oxygen will often improve crop yields. The same good soil conditions tend to favor large populations of beneficial soil bacteria that are necessary to supply green plants with nitrogen and phosphorus. Therefore, the nitrogen and phosphorus nutritional status of of crop plants may be improved with improvement of soil struc ture without the application of any nitrogen or phosphorus fer talizer. The same fact may be true for several of the other sou supplied plant nutrients. It is also very possible that some chemical that is contained in a fertilizer mixture can have harmful effects on the nutri tional status of plants. It is possible to do great dam age to some soils by applying sulfates, chlorides or sodium. Sulfates in moderate quantities may be a good source of suiter for both the soil bacteria and economic plants. Further appli cations tends to make the sous too acid for best crop produc tion. Sodium in even very small quantities destroys the struc ture of clay soils. Chlorides are beneficial to some crops and very detrimental to others. The plant species that have long existed near bodies of salt water are often very tolerant of soil chlorides. Soil tests for determining the level of plant nutrients is never reliable indicator of what fer tilizers to apply for best crop production. It is at best only a guide as to what the soil needs. The soil test should always be followed by plots that have re ceived a great many different fertilizer treatments, before large amounts of labor and and money are expended in the extensive use of fertilizers. Grange Master Warns on Unify PORTLAND (UPI) -National Grange Master Herschel D. Newsom Monday warned that overemphasis of political unity by the European economic com munity could be detrimental to the economic unity oi the free world. He spoke at the opening ses sion of tlie 97th annual conven tion of the National Grange here. The convention runs nine days. Newsom laid out a middle of the road course for the relief of the international and domes tic programs. He said that the European economic community's policies of sociological considerations rather than economic considera tions had done serious damage to the competitive position of American agricultural pro ducers. He cited the recent increase of tariffs against American poultry, fruits, free grains and lard. Newsom said the Grange will not ignore the economic aspects of international trade because this would invite economic stag nation. Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman is scheduled to speak tonight. About 1,500 delegates are attending. STOCKMEN FEED PELLETS Your coirst or unptlatibU roughaga will mako a bait for a modtrn balinctd ration that you can food with litflo labor and no waitaga.

MORTON MILLING CO. 500 Rett lane, Medford State Farm Department Adjusts To Curtailed SALEM Members of the State Board of Agriculture have given their approval last week to adjustments in services planned by the Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture to meet its reduced budget. The action was taken Oct. 24 at a board meeting in Salem after Director James F. Short and E. A. Bamford, chief of the department's business ad ministration division, had re viewed cuts that would have to be made as a result of the loss of funds through defeat by the Oct. 15 referendum of the in come tax passed by the 1963 legislature. General fund reductions to the department as proposed by Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield total $258,000. In addition to this the department's budget, which was roughly $10,000 below that for 1961-63, will have to absorb $19,054 not included in the budget originally because two meft plants had been expected to transter irom state to teaerai meat inspection but have re mained under state inspection, and some $60,000 for salary in creases approved for civil serv ice positions. This -makes the total tab $338,000. Adjustments as listed by Short and Bamford included: U. S. Trade Talks Could Hurt Fruit CORVALLIS - The coming tariff negotiations between the United States and the European Economic Community could have a serious effect on the pocketbooks of cherry producers in this country, according to Oregon State University agri cultural economist John A. Ed wards. Under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, present tariff rates could be cut a maximum of 50 per cent. The extent of actual tariff cuts depends on the re sults of the negotiations, which Market Increases At Midway Sale, Up $1 to $2 The market was stronger at the Midway Auction yard Fri day, Nov. 8, acocrding to Bill Bray, owner-manager. Prices were $1 to $2 higher. He noted he is now receiving inquiry calls from buyers which is a good sign. A total of 390 cattle were sold Friday. Good to choice steer calves sold at $25 to $26.10. Me dium steer calves sold for $22 to $24.50. Common calves went out at $19 to $21.50. Good heifer calves sold for $21.50 to $24. Medium heifer calves went out at $19 to $21. Medium to good yearling heifers sold for $19 to $20.40. Several penlots of these heifers went out abov $20. Holstcln steer calves sold for $18 to $19.10. Yearling Holstein steers sold for $16 to $17.50. Utility Cows Smooth utility cows sold for $14 to $15.50. Cutters sold for $11.50 to $13.50 and canners for $8 to $11. Good young cows and heifcr- ettes sold for $16 to $17.50. We are pleased to report a brighter market outlook," Bray commented. "There was a large buver at tendance at last Friday's sale and it was obvious from the start that they came to buv. ine mam interest is on light weight cattle. We expect to get real strong prices for our wean ers and light yearlings this coming Friday. Cattle weighing over $650 pounds are still slow because of the low fat market, "We will have the grandstand full of buyers this week.

According to Edwards, a 50 per cent cut in tariffs on im ported cherries could mean a drop of $1,457,330 in the gross income of domestic cherry growers. The OSU economist points out that Oregon is a major producer of cherries for brining. Oregon cherry grow ers marketed some $7,554,000 worth of fruit in 1962. According to a special report released by Edwards, a 50 per cent reduction in U. S. tariffs on brined and finished cherries would increase imports by an estimated 2,261 tons (fresh weight equivalent) over the 1946-61 average, within the five years following the tariff re duction. Drop Expected Gross receipts to the domestic cherry processing industi-y would drop by 8.3 per cent, if the in dustry met increased foreign competition through lower out put; to as much as 15.4 per cent, if price drops were the cherry industry's answer to the problem. Under the protection afforded by the tariff act of 1930, Ed wards points out, the produc tion of brined cherries increased from 5,000,000 pounds in 1929 to 82,209,250 pounds in 1962. De spite the tariff, though, imports of cherry products have risen almost continuously since 1946. Italy is the primary source of U. S. imports of cherries in brine, while France supplies the major portion of glace' cherries to the U. S. Both coun tries are members of the E.E.C. If domestic processors low ered their output because of import competition, some of the growers who are producing cherries for brining would be forced to switch their sales to fresh markets. Eventually, this would mean a drop in produc tion, since some varieties ,of cherries are not as acceptable in the fresh market, and there is a limit to the amount of cherries that can be sold through fresh outlets. If the cherry processing in dustry adjusted to the increased competition promised by a 50 per cent tariff cut by lowering output, their income would prob ably drop about 8.3 per cent irom tne 1946-61 average. How ever, if prices were lowered enough to meet the competition, total cherry processing industry receipts would drop about 15.4 per cent, according to Edwards. From his analysis of availa ble data on cherry demand and marketings, Edwards estimates a permanent reduction of about 7.5 per cent in grower income from cherries as the end result of a 50 per cent reduction in cherry import tariffs under present conditions. Edwards points out that his study makes no attempt to evaluate the overall gains or losses resulting from greater freedom of trade between the U. S. and the E.E.C.

And, in reserve, is a possible cutback in the brucellosis vac cination program, which Short and the state veterinarian, Dr. Glenn B. Rea, both said they hoped would not be necessary. lommenung on tne service reductions, Short said it was not possible to cut the budget without a corresponding reduc tion in services because the de partment had made a very tight budget for 1963-65. He noted that cuts had been made with consideration of those services affecting public health and welfare and with consideration of the long range impact on agriculture and on the department's organization. Bamford said the reduction in personnel was being largely ab sorbed by the department's not filling positions that have be come vacant since the referen dum petitions were filed. Reportin to the board on the status of the new building for the department, Director Short said the building would be un affected by the change in the tax picture because it would be self liquidating. However, it has been delayed because two smai! lots still remain to be purchased at the location selected for the building and funds for the pur chase are presently frozen.
