Berry Breeding Program Outlined CORVALLIS - Work devoted to breeding new varieties of strawberries, red raspberries and blackberries has ben out lined by lieorge Waldo, U. S. Department of Agriculture hor ticulturist stationed at OSU In strawberries, more empha-1 sis in recent years has been i placed upon obtaining red stele resistance as well as the pos- sibility ot good commercial vari eties not red stele resistant, he ; 5a'd-. . . ! at the North Willamette Ex- Definite red stele resistance ; periment Station at Aurora and in greenhouse tests has been some may be sent out or lrial found in nine or 10 selections under growjng conditions dif jn recent years, but, with one forert fr0m those of the Willam possiblc exception, none will be i ette valley commercially acceptable, Wal- i Presently there is no one rai do noted. One of the difficulties en t.'ountered is obtaining good size, he explained, since parent mate rial giving red stele resistance FROM THE GROUND UP By BART BARTLtn ' The pruning foreman of each pear, peach or apple pruning crew should be instructed to search for and report instances of crusted scale on the limbs or twigs of fruit trees. In many cases spraying can be limited to the area that shows scale and result in some sav ings in labor, equipment and materials. The final statistics for the ag riculture business of this coun try for the current year indi cates that farmers as a group will receive about the same amount of cash as total income . this year as received in 1962. However, the prices farmers .. have had to pay in terms of taxes for labor, materials and . equipment are much higher than during 1962. The net re sult is that farm income is down from one year ago. Getting Less -Locally, the fruitgrowers and cattlemen are getting less mon ey per unit for a product that has cost more to produce in 1963 than in 1962. The farmer is forced to mechanize as much as possible. This only trans fers the problems of unemploy ed persons from farm to city. The urban industries are also caught in a price - cost squeeze and are going to automation to solve their problem. The net result is that the cities have a problem with unemployed per sons before the displaced farm laborer arrives. Much can be said and will be said about who is respon sible for the welfare of uncm- ' ployed persons, At present, loud noises arc being made about more education and re training of these economically displaced people. Somehow more education and retraining of people for jobs that do not now exist docs not make much sense. Why retrain a person to be a computer operator when there is at present more com puter operators than our civil- ' ization can absorb? No Solution - This is not a solution to the problem under discussion above, but a statement of facts. There are too many people. Many inquiries came in re garding mistletoe in oak trees. Mistletoe is parasite of the native oaks. When it grows on most of the larger limbs of an oak tree, it will cither kill the tree or dismember it by killing the limbs. There are no sprays " that can be applied for con trol of this pest. It can be re moved by pruning in some cases. In other cases it must be removed by breaking off as close to where it grows on a limb as is possible. Fred Brennan RESOLVED FOR '64 We thank you sincerely for your patronage, which has helped to make the past year so pleasant for us, and we firmly resolve to serv you even 25 West Main Street usually gives small size in the progeny Highest yields have been ob tained in selections where the average size has been medium or small, but, under the most favorable growing conditions, the size of some selections is not objectionable, Waldo report- ed. High flavor quality also has been difficult to obtain. Extensive testing of npw sp- lections is now heins carried nn raspberry variety grown that is acceptable in all ways for Pacific Northwest growers since each lacks one or more essen tial characteristics that makes them unsuitable to grow under certain conditions, Waldo point ed out. The breeding program's main objective for the past few years has been directed toward over coming the problem of red rasp berry plants dying out after they are three or four years old. This has been a particular problem on heavy soils and also occurs on some lighter soils. Red Raspberry The Fairview red raspberry, released two years ago, is very satisfactory in its productivity and apparently fairly well adap ted to hea.7 soil. Use of it is being made in breeding and a number of selections from a cross between Fairview and Cuthbert may be available for future test ing. The OSU Agricultural Experi ment Station now has many blackberry selections for consid eration as possible varieties that may have economic value and which can be used for fur ther breeding research, Waldo reported. However, the rapid increase in Thornless Evergreen acreage and its widespread use by con sumers lead to the conclusion that selections under considera tion may never reach economic value, at least not in the near future, he said. One principal objection to the Evergreen is its late harvest season. A thornless type, with an earlier harvest season and better qualities has been the ideal toward which much of tne breeding work is now oriented. More Birds, Eggs Forseen in 1964 CORVALLIS More poultry and eggs are in prospect for 1964, with the gains probably equaling or exceeding population growth. This should keep Ore gon prices near or below 1963 levels. This is the outlook as seen by Charles M. Fischer, Oregon State University extension poul try marketing specialist. Fischer makes his observations in the new Oregon Farm and Market Outlook circular just published by OSU and available from the county extension offices. The increase in national egg production is expected to be rel atively small and moderate ex pansion is foreseen for broilers and turkeys, Fischer said. Egg production level for the first half of 1964 is largely fixed by the number of layers and po tential layers currently on hand, On Oct. 1, the number was the same as a year earlier, he said suggesting that the national flock will be about the same size as the laying flock on Jan. 1 1963. As the year progresses, how ever, new layers will be added and, by the second quarter, I layer numbers may exceed the 1963 level by about one per cent. Much of the expected increase in egg production will likely stem from an increase in eggs per layer, particularly in the first quarter, Fischer said. Lowell Iverton JMford Chit By JCE Mail Tribune "People sa you've heard beef that is ruining our prices. many animals in the feed lots. "Just where do they expect us to send them? And if the prices were better they would be moving this beef into the butcher shops faster. These feedlot operators have a big investment, too. You can't blame 'em for holding back hoping the market will im prove." This was a local part-time farmer talking. He hopes to build up his small herd into a full time job. It takes money to buy good bulls and even more m8ney to feed 'em. He knows that if the commercial caHleman is hurt the purebred man is, too. It's tke commercial me who lesys his bulls. People in the caitle businoss Utreughout the cattle raising states are i sling the pinch of competition from the heef imports of Australia and New Zealand. They want something done about it. They know that to get something done they will have to write many letters to their Congressmen. The governors of the seven cattle-raising states already are planning a joint campaign to help the cattleman with tkis problem. Bill Marshall, first vice president of the Oregon Cattleman's Association, told the Jackson County Stockmen's Association at its last general meeting that "we need to re-educate the executive branch, too. Considerable progress is being made." Although the cattlemen, like the general public, deeply regret Kennedy's assassination, they teel optimistic over getting federal help with their problems now that a cattleman is president. The New York Times summed up this optimistic outlook re cently by stating that the Texan's background and legislative skills learned as a senator could ease the way for farm bills. Many lawmakers feel there may be more White House interest in farm legislation and increased administration willingness to make careful compromises. We never have felt Ihe late president had a very clear insight into farm problems. He depended heavily on Secretary of Agri culture Freeman. Although we feel generally that Freeman is a sharp politician and capable administrator of his department, he seems to lack sufficient understanding of specific agriculture problems. The western range problem is one of these. We interviewed him when he was in Portland to kick off the national rural area development program. When we asked him how he proposed to solve the prob lem of cutbacks on government range land grazing he replied that under his program surplus wheat lands would be planted to gra ). This would provide more grazing, he explained. The conversion of eastern Oregon wheallands would not help western Oregon cattlemen. Transportation of cattle herds from here to there, for instance, would be entirely impractical. Observers are predicting that President Johnson will forego the more daring farm policy departures that led the Kennedy Administration up so many blind legislative alleys. Being a rancher he will probably rely more on his own instincts. Further more, he understands the traditional policies of farm legislation. He knows the key people well and can talk their language. President Lyndon B. Johnson's help was expected to help push through the long-delayed cotton subsidy bill initiated by his predecessor's administration. So far it has met some serious rebuffs from Republican and big city congressmen. Our own Congressman Robert Duncan has vigorously opposed it. And we think he is right in wanting a simpler, more direct subsidy bill as an alternative. As long as Ihe people's money is being used for such supports let them see exactly what the picture is and how the money is being spent. The cotton bill and some major wheat legislation is expected to receive new impetus with the start of the new year. Johnson's home state also relies heavily on Mexican National labor to har vest its crops, particularly the citrus. His interest should help further extension of the Mexican farm labor program. We also hope he will take an active interest in negotiating with the Com mon Market countries in easing non-tariff restrictions on such West Coast specialty crops as pears. Since Oregon's Duncan has involved himself in the cotton bill as a member of the House agriculture committee, an explana tion of what this is all about might be helpful. The government pays cotton growers a price-support subsidy that allows them a fatter return than they'd get on a free market. But domestic cotton can't compete with foreign-grown fiber sell ing in the world market at about 24 cents a pound when it receives a support price ot 32'i a pound for a key grade. The government, to meet this problem, also subsidizes cotton exports. It currently pays exporters the domestic and world price. But, ing manufacturers are hurt because foreign firms arc buying U. S. grown cotton at 24 cents and turning it into yarn, shirts and sheets and can resell it here cheaper than U. S. goods. This has resulted in the new demand, covered by the proposed cotton law, for a third subsidy which would cut the mills' cost for domes tic cotton to the same price the So, in effect the bill proposes effects of the first two subsidies. would cost the U. S. taxpayers years, those opposing it say it On the face of il, the proposed cotton bill seems somewhat ridiculous, but then we are not living in a textile producing state or in an area where cotton is being grown. We do think in comparison industry the help being asked by much less expensive and certainly try wants tariffs to more tightly control beef imports. The fruit industry wants non-tariff barriers lifted on its overseas markets, particularly since U. S. fruit seldom competes wilh European fruit in its own markets due to different seasons of production and buropcan truit shortages in If LBJ plans to keep his vow to ing then it is obvious where his be directed. The fruit export problem we will discuss separately The beef import problem is a vice president here. In 12, 11 consisted of imported beef. During the first six months of 1963 this was increased 14 per cent oi 1962. Those cattlemen who have travelled Australia and New Zealand during recent cattle tours emphasize that Australia alone has the potential to put U. S. beef producers out of business This should be Johnson's big beef now. The true dimensions of the imported beef threat are revealed when you take a close look at Australia's geography. The world's largest beef station, "Alexandria Downs," has 70.000 shorthorn beef cattle ranging over 11,000 square miles, an area almost as large as Belgium. The farmer is still the backbone of Australia and the govern ment knows it. Australia's state and federal governments help with capital, equipment, irrigation works and mass-development methods which in many esses put a young man on a fenced, partly-devr.loped farm, complete with farmhouse and sheds. But this doesn't take all the hardship out of Australian farming. Since the best land was taken over 100 years ag, a young would-be farmer often must hack his land out of bush, coax it into pro- p activity with water, fertilizers TSiis combination of government assistance and farmers will s' inc lo bend their backs i-i going asmosl. furthermore, Australia Australian funds allocated for top $1 million in the coming year.

This is something which Oregon is doing now. Porter Lombard, Southern Oregon Branch Experiment Sta tion superintendent, learned this when he attended Ihe recent Washington Stale Horticultural Society meeting in Wenatchee, Wash, recently. The Washington fruit growers are concerned with the large number of trees which '.-ill come into bearing the next few years as is Ore gon and California. This could dump a surplus of fruit on the market and depress the prices, growers feel. Ihe Central Washington grow ers are concerned particularly with apples since this is their main product. This past season they shipped 35,000 carloads of 29 million boxes. A normal year ships 30.000 carloads. When picking they had estimated a crop of 20 million boxes. Watching Trend The growers are watching this production trend and are study Seed Catalogues Brighten Winter With New Flower, Vegetable Varieties Brightly colored seed cata logues are providing the bridge from winter to spring as gar deners sit by the fire and men tally start planting flowers and vegetables. W. Alice Burpee Company of Philadelphia, Pa., Clinton, Iowa and Riverside, Calif., has just mailed out its catalogues with brightly colored zinnias on the cover and luscious red straw berries spilling out of a box printed on the mailing enve lope. In flowers this year Burpee is featuring their new Zenith Zinnias for 1964. The company claims these are mildew resis tant plants which will bear flowers for a longer time. These flowers grow two feet tall and measure 5',-i to six inches across. i The new varieties include Bo nanza, the 1904 All - American Silver Medal winner, large flow ers of light golden orange; the Princess, a light salmon pink and the Firecracker, the 1963 All- American Silver Medal winner of bright red. Other Flowers Otner new flowers for 1964 arc the Bijou Sweet Peas in five separate colors which can be planted in borders, beds and window boxes for the flowers are only 12 inches tall. Colors range from white to scarlet cerise. The Fireglo sweet pea is in the New Galaxy group, long stemmed sprays with live to seven clear scarlet fragrant flowers from midsummer on. The new American Marigold, Geraldine named alter Mrs. Wil lard S. Curtin, wife of the Penn sylvania congressman, is a large fluffy mum-type flower in deep orange which grows from mid-summer on.

OREGON Tree Plantings ing their markets and develop ment of various by-products and marketing aids. Some growers feel controlled atmosphere storage such as was experimented with here on pears can save them, Lombard commented. This would spread out the market so apples could hit the higher prices brought in April, for instance. The Central Washington apple industry has developed an ap ple juice concentrate similar to the citrus concentrates purchas ed in our local markets. A Che lan, Wash, plant uses 300 tons of apples a day for this process. Another plant is located at Sc lah, Wash. This product will go to Denver and Texas when mar kets develop there and is now being shipped to Southern Cali fornia and Washington state markets. This may indicate that pear nectar or juice can be pro cessed in similar fashion. The tree census study shows that Central Washington, in 1961 had 5,132,100 apple trees representing 57.4 per cent of all Bronze Medal winners, Fireglow eclosia, Evening Glow salvia and Pink Buttons Zinnia, the Tom Thumb Zinnias which grow 10 inches high.

Notes Big Increase Lombard noted "a tcriffic in crease in Bartletts" in Central Washington the last few years. Seventy per cent of the Bart letts raised in Washington arc from Yakima county, he noted A lot of Bartlctt trees have been planted in the lower Yakima Valley, he added. Washington growers are decmphasizing pear decline because the sus ceptible trees have either died or have been removed. I lie earliest signs of pear decline were noted in Washington. The Washington tree survey breaks down to varieties and counties, Lombard explained. He hopes the Oregon survey now being compiled at Oregon Slate University will follow the same lines. i 2Mi inches across. Deadline for the current contest is Dec. 31, 1964.

Serious Losses Due To Scours "I wish I hHd 10 per cent ol the money cattlemen have lost from calves dying from scours," a veterinarian said Ihe other day, In discussing this vital disease problem he pointed out there is no quick remedy. Half the time such a loss is due to poor management, he said. The Jackson County Stock- men's Association recommends (hat all cattlemen start planning their winter and spring calving programs by including innocu lations against scour s. Those with a history of calf losses in Ihcir herds due lo scours should consult their local veterinarian. Scours ir a bacteria caused infection of the intestines which causes diahrrca.

Artificial dohvdration is the key to the new process and re places traditional and tedious sun drying. A hot air tunnel causes fresh pear halves and puree to give up their excess moisture in a few hours, retain ing color and flavor that might be lost otherwise. Martin W. Miller, University Records Needed For New Census 01 Agriculture Every farmer and rancher will have need (or records on his business in 1964 in order to provide accurate answers for the dn-il-yoursclf questionnaire he will receive near the end of the year as part of the 1964 Census of Agriculture, accord ing to the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce. Each farmer or rancher will receive a census form by mail in October or earlier, and will be asked to fill it out. A census taker will visit Ihe farm during November or early De cember to review the fillcd-out form, make sure that all ques tions are answered, and send the form to Census headquar ters. The "do-il-yourscif' plan is expected to save several mil lion dollars compared with the method used in earlier (arm censuses in which a census taker asked all the questions and wrote the answers on the census form. For the first time, the 1964 census oi Agriculture will in- ClUde questions about income received from recreation scr- vices, such as hunting or fishing privileges, board and room provided to sportsmen; and questions about chemical sprays or dusts used during the year to control pcsls and diseases of any kind. The bulk of questions will deal wilh crops and live stock produced and sold, use of farm land and amounts of farm expenditures. "The most significant farm census since 1940" is the des cription by Ray Hurley, who has directed the Censuses of Agriculture at five-year inter- i vls over Ihe past quarter con- "mi.ii-i"i nguwiiiuii: Illin been undergoing wide-spread and massive changes and Ihe Census provides the only ac curate measures of those duinges," Mr. Hurley said. The 1964 Census of Agricul ture will provide the first count of the nation's farms since the Census of Agriculture in 1959 and Ihe first count of people living on farms since the Census of Population in 1960. The num ber of farms in the nalion de creased from its high point of 6.8 million in 1935 to 3.7 million in 11159. The number of people living on farms dropped from more than 30 million ni 1940 to less than 14 million persons in 1960. ang'usIiooklet A new beef cattle booklet, "They're Worth More if They're Black," has just been released for distribution by the American ) Angus Association ol hi.

It can be produced by ma chine making it possible to con centrate the fruit in a small package. It also uses every bit of the pear except stem, skin and seeds. The taste is closer to the fresh pear.
