TUESDAY, Complacency Tendency Seen As Seed Growers Challenge PORTLAND - The greatest challenge facing Oregon seed growers today is the tendency toward complacency, according to Dr. J. Ritchie Cowan, head of the Oregon State University farm crops department. Dr. Cowan spoke during the recent Oregon Seed Growers League 2:ird annual convention at Portland Dec. 9. More than 200 growers and seed industry representatives attended the meeting, which ran through Dec. 11. "We must gear outsclves to be ahle to produce the varieties which our markets desire," Cowan told the group. "We are at a crossroads, we are moving into a new era. Unless we rec OSU Notes New Trends In Nursery Business CORVALLIS Today's back yard gardener can buy most of his garden needs at a neighbor hood shopping center as self. service becomes a more impor tant part of Oregon's $17 million nursery business. Mass merchandising of plants in containers and more special izeri growing are two notable trends in Oregon's nursery busi ness. savs Dr. A. N. Roberta, Oregon State University horti culturist. Roth consumers and growers benefit from container plant nroduction. Roberts noted. Shop ners like budget-priced small plants and they like to buy them in bloom. Growers find that container growing lends Itself lo assembly line production and lower unit costs. Another advanlage seen by growers: an enormous number of plants can he grown in a small area regardless of soil condition. One Oregon grower with in acres of container- grown plants has installed an overhead irrigation system for both watering and dilute liquid feeding. Retailers find container plants, if watered, can be kept fresh-looking for weeks. Ralled-anri-burlapped shrubs are more difficult In water. If they're not moved rapidly through market ing channels, they must be plunged in peat or sawdust for holding, Roberts reports. Still Problems Willi all their good features, growers tind that there are still problems connected with con tainer growing. Container-grown plants need more meticulous rare regular watering and feeding, plus winter protection, Add lo this, problems of nan. riling and distribution.

IMct.OUCIII.lN Ciiiuily Extension Agent The poinsetlia plant is almost as symbolic of Christmas as the Christmas tree. A few precau tions in the placement and care of your poinsettia will add weeks to the life of your plant. He sure the plant you pur chase is in a strong healthy con dition. Large flower bracts, strong stems and the presence of lower leaves are points to lonk for when selecting a high quality plant. The ideal location for a poin settia is a sunny, draft free lo cation with a humid atmosphere and a temperature of r,() de grees. Such an ideal location ex ists in very few, if any, homes. However, keeping the plant in a location approaching this ideal will add to its bloom lite. Kerp Soil Moist Keep the soil moist and the plant away from sources of eat. The humidity in heat source areas is greatly reduced The humiditv mav he increased ' around the plant by placing the pol in a tray or container par- lially filled with a media such as pebbles or sand.

The OSU larm crops neaa saio that the number one concern of the seed grower and the seed handler should be to produce and retain the varieties as gene tically pure as possible. He pointed out that sligni genetic impurities can have a great im pact on today's seed crops, which are often bred to do spe cial jobs, and have a narrow genetic base. Seeks Resolution Dr. Cowan called on the seed growers to use their best judg ment and talent to prepare reso lutions during the meeting, reso lutions which when carried out will bring new vistas to the seed larly if they do not mechanize certain operations. Certain varieties of roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, heather, conifers and ground covers are among those most profitably grown in containers. Roberts says that shoppers are more apt to buy a blooming 2 to 3-ycar old rhododendron than an older plant that isn't in bloom even though the latter may be the better buy Do-it-yourself gardeners, he says, generally like small plants at a small price, but are becoming increasingly quality conscious and will pay the necessary higher price for su perior plant material. They are also learning most about nurs ery stock grades in their garden club meetings. Another notable trend is more specialization, both in plant ma terials and the stage at which they are marketed, says Rob erts. "Specialist propagators" In Oregon are building up a busi ness with California nursery men on a "contract rooting" basis. Cuttings are sent from California to Oregon, where they're rooted, and sent back to California as rooted cuttings or liners. Oregon's weather is fa- vorahle to rooting many Cali fornia plants that are difficult to root in the warmer southern climate. Specialization Specialization in plant ma terial has brought about heal thier nursery slock because the specialist can he concerned with only a few plant species and take the precautions necessary lo keep them pathogen-tree and true-to-name, Is the container-grown plant going to be as good a plant as one balled and burlapped? In general, plant quality should he comparable, Roberts slates. The container - grown plant should have a well-developed root sys tem but not be allowed to be come pot bound. Sometimes in the transplanting, problems oc cur, but these can be overcome. The light polling mixtures use must be mixed with soil and watered frequently when transplanted to prevent a dry pocket from developing around the roots. However, reminds Roberts, It takes time for any plant to adjust to being moved. The sooner root-soil contact is reestablished the less the shock of transplanting. What about the nurseryman who has a general family-size operation? The small grower is not going 10 be replaced entirely, Roberts believes. The personal service he renders and the variely of plants o( all sizes he otters, are difficult to duplicate on a mass basis, it was pointed out. How ever, he will have to be efficient 11 he is going lo pay his family a fair wage and still make a profit. Roberts emphasized that the nursery industry in Oregon becoming more a business, and I less a "way o( life." He says this means more attention to I sound management principles. j - II J II f J 'Ireland neretords Tops Off Sales ASHLAND- - Richard Ireland, Ashland area cattleman, re turned home yesterday after a trip to Texas lo buy some year ling heifers and a callle haul to California. The heifers (rum the (inllihnr ranch near Dallas will co with his new Maior Domino bull as a continuation of his breeding program. The acquisitions hack up two recent sales where Ireland's polled Hereford ranked either at or near the lop His recent production sale at industry. He challenged the group to pass these resolutions and make it their business to see that they are implemented. The current status of seed crop estimates was reported by Ray B. Hile, agricultural stati stician in charge, Crop Report ing Service at Portland. Hile said that unless more grower support for pre-harvest seed crop estimates was forthcoming, these reports might be discon tinued. He asked the League members to consider the crop reports, and if any changes in reporting procedures are needed the crop reporting service stands ready to make these changes. rOmerson predicted lower prices for crimson clover in I9fi4. He said that growers, to get the most out of crimson clo ver seed, must hit the early market. It appears that the mar ket for hairy vetch in 1964 should be stable, according to Emerson. He said the market for hairy vetch seed could pos sibly be better in 1964 than in 1963. The seed league meeting con tinued on Tuesday, with election of directors. Members were wel comed to the opening session by Cal Crandall, agricultural com mittee chairman of the Portland Chamber of Commerce.

FROM THE GROUND UP 8 BART BARTLEn By request we will devote portion of this column to pest control for the hobbyist type of economic plant grower. In many instances retired or elderly persons like to keep con structively occupied by growing certain tree fruits in back yards in other limited areas. The same is somewhat true of those persons who like to grow vege table gardens. The following discussion will in large measure he applicable where homcmak ers of any age are growing land scape or floral plants. The average home nrchardisl will be concerned mostly with such insect pests as scale, spi der miles, twig borers, and cod ling moth. Investigations have shown that the most common cause of poor control of these pests was not the use of the improper chemical agents. The liming of spray applications was not at (aull either, in in stances where poor insect pest control was a problem. In prac tically every case, the method of application was at fault. Poor Coverage Blamed lu some cases, poor coverage wilh the spray chemical was evidently the cause of lack of control. In other instances an excellent job of coverage was accomplished wilh the sprayer being used, but poor pest con trol was still the result. In most of the cases that have been in vestigated the lack of control was due to the mechanical sprayer or duster equipment, rather than to Improper timing of the spray or dust application. The two items of equip m e n t that do the poorest job of pest chemical application to econom ic plants are discussed as fol lows : The sprayer that operates o(( the domestic water system is generally a bad item of home (arm equipment. Where good pest control Is desired, s ank type of compressed air sprayer is the best method of applying sprays for pest control. The simple (piston) air pres sure type of duster Is also al most worthless (or the applica tion of chemicals In dust form for pest control. A simple crank type of duster that has both an agitator and blower Is the only means of applying pest control chemicals In dust formulation that Is effective.

FARM Woodlot By DICK OLSON Oregon Stale Farm Forester With increasing activity in Christmas tree buying and sell ing, many questions regarding cutting and transporting regu lations are being asked. The primary purpose of these reg ulations is the protection of tim ber property both public and private owned. Fulfilling the initial cutting or harvesting requirements of Oregon law will cost you only time if you comply. But, if you fail to comply, it could cost you money. If you are planning to cut Christmas trees there are two basic things to take care of before cutting. One is permis sion to cut. 'the other is to ob tain a permit to harvest misce llaneous forest tree products from the nearest slate forestry office. After the first of the new year, the remainder of the require in e n I s regarding harvesting must be fulfilled. All merchant able trees harvested in western Oregon must be reported to the county assessor before March 3. After receiving the report, the assessor will hill Ihe owner ac cording In Ihe millage rate in the county. The only exception to this requirement would ap ply to land under the Optional Law (no harvest tax) or classi fied reforestation lands. Under the latter, a harvesting permit Pear Shipments Below Last Year SALF.M Pear shipments are Increasing, but are below 1M2, according to an early Decem ber report from Ihe stale federal shipping points. M. D. Murphy, supervisor (or fruit and vegetable (ederal stale shipping point inspections, reported that only 912 cars had been inspected by the end of November this year compared with 2.654 cars a year ago at that time. Hood River shipped .100 cars in November, Mcdford 97 cars and Portland 26. The Oregon Department of Agriculture reported apple ship ments slow in November, but above last year wilh a total of 6:16 cars inspected to date this year compared to .196 last year. Hood River was the the heaviest apple shipper in November wilh 211 cars. Ontario had three cars, Milton-Freewaler 21 and Portland .17 cars. Onion shipments showed an 'increase in November wilh 567 cars moving out from Ihe Mal heur county area, three cars from Mcdford and 274 cars from the Salem area. Total shipments in October were 6IKI i cars. 4-H NEWS Bobbin Rnhblru Saturday, Dec 7, Ihe Bobbin Bobbins 4-H Club had a work shop meeting We made skills, blouses, bonnets, el cetera.

Then after cutting, a detailed report on tax commission forms must be sent to the commission, ac companied by a payment of 12'4 per cent of the stumpage value as determined by the commis sion. This must be done not later than .Jan. 30, following cutting. Need Rill of Sale Oregon forest law requires a bill of sale in possession when transporting more than five Christmas tees, in addition to harvest permit or proof of land ownership on which the permit was obtained. The bill of sale must specify the date of sale, name and address of the buyer or receiver, number and spe cies of trees, and the legal de scription of the nronertv from which the trees were cut, and be signed by the land-owner. In spections will he made by state patrolmen and local law en forcement officers. Oregon Public Utilily Com mission (PUC) regulations also affect transportation. The fol lowing classes of truckers, how ever, are exempt from obtain ing PUC permits: 1. Oregon farmers when using farm plates to truck Christmas trees and boughs grown on their own farms. They may also haul farm grown trees and boughs for other Oregon farmers in ex change for labor or for a nomi nal fee. 2. Private carriers with com bined weights not over 6,000 pounds. Private carriers are those who actually own the prod ucts that they haul. Both 1 and 2 (above) Involv ing diesel trucks, however, are required to pay a diesel fuel tax when trucking over public roads.

PORTLAND - Ken Harris, Madras, is new president of the Oregon Seed Growers League. Harris was elected to the post during the '3d annual meeting of the League at Portland Dec. 9-11. Elected vice president for the organization was Don Bohnert, Central Point. Rex Warren, ex tension farm crops specialist at at Oregon Slate University, was re - elected secretary. Ira Strauss, Corvallis, remains treasurer. Dr. Grant Blanch, one of the key speakers during the Tues day session of Ihe convention, discussed the Oregon tax pic- lure. Dr. Blanch, who is an agri cultural economist at Oregon State University, told the Seed League that more than 20 per cent of the net income of farm ers in Oregon is paid out in the form of ad valorem property taxes. This percentage doesn't include taxes on personal prop erty. Suggests Broader Tax Dr. Blanch pointed out that the extremely high taxes on Oregon farmland place the farmers of this state in a poor position to compete with grow ers in other areas. One of the answers to this problem, ac cording to Dr. Blanch, would be to broaden the tax base by in creasing the proportion of peo ple who pay state income tax. Blanch pointed out that only 62 per cent of Oregon income earn ers pay any income tax. If the proportion of people paying income taxes cannot be increased hecause of political reasons, Dr. Blanch said a slate sales tax may be neces sary to take some of the lax burden off real property. He also commented that the state Quarterhorse Clinic Slated For March 21-22 The Slate of .lefferson Quar ter Horse Clinic will be held at the Mcdford Armory March 21- 22, 1964, according to an an nouncement made at the De cember meeting of the Jackson County Horsemen's Association by Ed Mayfield, Eagle Point. Guest speakers at the event will be Leonard Milligan, Den ver, Colo., who will speak on horsemanship in general; Dr. Lear, representative of the Car nation Farms, feeding and con ditioning of horses; Dr. Wheat of the University of California at Davis, general confirmation, and Red Randall, noted Califor nia horse trainer will give ex hibitions on training. Horse Group Moves Mayfield, also vice president of the State of Jefferson Quar ter Horse Association, slated that the State of Jefferson Quar ter Horse sale previously slated to be held at Mcdford has been moved lo Grants Pass, due to the inadequate stabling facili ties at the local fairgrounds. Don Faber, Jackson County commissioner, gave a talk ex plaining his opinions to the members and guests regarding the fairgrounds and all horse activities in Jackson County in general. Jack Brown, chairman of the trails committee, reported that he had recently submitted the plans ami proposals by the JCHA regarding trails on the valley floor to Robert (Boh) Haworth, Mcdford parks and recreation director.

Jack Wells, of the Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA, and Alenby White, Northrup - King Seed Company at Minneapolis, told the group that they must be prepared to provide the kind of seed the overseas markets want if they are to sell to these markets. Intercropping Panel Subject For Fruit Program CORVALLIS-Factors determ ining whether orchard inter cropping pays or not were the subject of a panel discussion Thursday before the Oregon Horticultural Society's stone fruits section meeting here re cently. The panel stressed that the only reason for intercropping is added income during the early life of the orchard and that management determines the success or failure of an inter cropping program, according to D. L. Rasmussen, Marion coun ty extension agent and panel moderator. Advantages and disadvantages of intercropping new orchards were outlined by Rodney Chase, Springfield orchardist. Advant ages cited were to provide in come until trees come into bear ing, irrigated crops insure ade quate moisture for new trees and new plantings make more growth under irrigation. Disadvantages Disadvantages pointed out by Chase were that trees (end to grow leggy, requiring more corrective pruning, that trees grown with (all crops tend to form narrow crotches and that weeds are an increased prob lem, requiring narrow weed control equipment. He expressed the opinion that "anyone wanting lo see some return, before trees are pro ducing, would be wise to con sider intercropping." Lee Foster, Hood River coun ty extension agent, noted sev eral factors which must be con sidered if an intercrop such as strawberries, tomatoes, pota toes, etc., is to be grown on land planted to young trees. These included the adapta bility of the crop to the area and soil, the acreage available, the availability of markets, the amount of equipment needed for efficient production and the availability of labor. Two of the biggest mistakes that can he made, he added, were to try and grow an inter crop without adequate equip ment and lo grow a crop with out a market outlet. If good management practices are fol lowed, there are several crops that can be grown satisfactor ily, Foster said, but intercrop ping may not always be prac tical. Joseph F. Realy, Salem area grower, sketched some of the intercrop combinations used in the Willamette Vallev and re- ported on his experience wilh cherry trees as intcrplants in j three sweet cherry plantings marie during the past 10 years.
