FSA ACTIVITY
FOR PAST YEAR
HID HERE
A report of the past year's
loaning activities ot the farm
security administration in Klam
ath and Lake counties has been
released by the local FSA office.
' The report explained that at
the beginning of last year the
department of agriculture had
set up certain goals In agricul
ture to be met these were call
ed "Defense Goals." When war
was declared on the axis na
tions, the "Defense Goals" Im
mediately became "War Goals"
and were Increased.
Realizing the problem of meet
ing the increased food needs
through production, the farm se
curity program was expanded tn
January, 1842, to Include loans
to small and part-time farmers
and to farm laborers for pro
duction of food to meet the "War
Production Goals." These loans
are called "Food for Freedom
Loan." Since the Food for Free
dom program was effective, 33
loans, totaling $9666, have been
made to small and part-time
farmers In Klamath and Lake
counties. These loans have en
abled these people to produce
their own food and the needed
war fuuus for market pufk,
poultry, eggs, dairy products
thus helping to meet the in
creased demand for food so
necessary to carry out our war
program.
Along with the Food for Free
dom program, the farm security
has continued to carry out the
work of providing security for
the family type farmer through
financial and technical help.
Fifty-nine rehabilitation loans,
totaling $47,850, were made in
Klamath and Lake counties this
year. The money was loaned
for establishment of water fa
cilities units, cooperatively own
ed machinery, purchase of live
stock, equipment, etc Along
with emphasis placed on main
taining an economical farm unit,
approved crop practices, etc.,
the importance of producing war
foods was stressed.
Probably the best measure of
success for the rehabilitation
loaning program in this area
are the repayments made on
loans. Since last July 1, a total
of $99,856 has been repaid to
the farm security from Klam
ath and Lake county farmers.
Cooperating with, and active
In, the work of the county war
boards, nutrition committees,
mattress and comforter projects,
and other war work in the two
counties, farm security is direct
ing its every effort in helping
to win this war and at the same
time, carrying on its regular pro
gram. The FSA was created to
bring greater security to farm
families handicapped by crop
failure, Illness, or other forces
which they had no control. It
Is set up primarily to assist the
family-sized farm, to correct
some of the evils of growing
farm tenacy and deal generally
with all problems of the low
Income farmer and laborer. This
is done through loans for capital
goods and cooperative facilities,
farm debt adjustment, tenant
purchase loans, improved lease
or rental agreements in writing,
farm family labor camps, and
technical help in farm and home
management, and now, loans for
production of war foods.

Victory Gardens
Should Be Watched
For Insect Damage
Br J. R. McCAMBRIDGE
Assistant County Agent
The Victory garden or any
garden for that matter will re
quire constant cultural attention
throughout the growing season
from the time the crop is plant
ed until It is harvested. Shallow
cultivation should be given to
keep down weeds and to loosen
the top soil following rains or
irrigation. Cultivation should
be just deep enough to control
weeds and loosen the top soil
about an Inch or Inch and a half.
In recent years it has been
found that cultivation of grow
ing crops should be only at in
tervals to control weeds. The
top soil is the richest and best
growing soil. Constant deep
cultivation robs the plants of
the opportunity to establish feed
ing roots in this rich top soil.
If deep cultivation is practiced
these feeder roots are broken
and disturbed, therefore retard
ing the normal growth of the
plants.
Gardens will need Irrigation
and should be irrigated when
practical and not too costly.
There are two methods of irri
gation which are practiced by
most gardeners. These are
sprinkling and watering by fur
rows. The method of watering
by furrows is much more pre
ferred because the water is
placed closer to the roots of the
plants and the absorption of wa
ter by the crop is more uniform,
and the distribution of the water
is given to the entire row. A
lot of time and water Is usually
wasted on gardens where they
are irrigated by sprinkling. A
slight sprinkling will darken the
top soil and cause some to think
that the plants are receiving
moisture, where as a rule sprink
ling is not continued long enough
to allow the water to carry down
into the soil where the plants
can use it,

CATTLE MARKETS
North Portland reported a
heavier run of cattle than for
many weeks last Monday, when
3300 head arrived, of which 250
were offered locally. Good fed
steers and heifers and best grade
grassers sold at about steady
prices, although other grades
ranged to. 25 cents lower than
last week. Medium to good fed
steers brought $12.50 to $13.65,
while grass fat steers sold at
$11.50 to $12.65. The top In the
steer division last week was
$13.75. The market was steady
in San Francisco, with one load
of Idaho steers selling at $13.25
and grass steers up to $12. Prices
at Chicago Monday were off 10
to 15 cents, with trading slow.
Numbers of cattle slaughtered
In May showed a 7 per cent de
crease from April, and 2 per cent
decrease from May a year ago.
Even so, it was 10 per cent
larger than the average of the
past five years. Range feed im
proved during May throughout
the-Pacific northwest and as far
as Wyoming, Nebraska, and the
JJaKotas. Farther south the situ
ation is a bit more spotted, al
though no serious conditions are
reported from any state. The
condition of cattle improved
generally in May, with good
gains In most areas. Winter and
spring cattle losses were gener
ally light throughout the west.
SHEEP AND LAMB
MARKETS
North Portland received 3600
sheep and lambs Monday, but
only 1700 head were for local
sale. Prices on spring lambs
slumped about 25 cents, while
trading on older classes was at
prices 25 to 50 cents lower than
last week. Good to choice spring
lamos sold at $12 to $12.25,
while a few old-crop shorn
lambs brought only $8 to $8.50.
Steady prices were maintained
at Chicago, but at Omaha bids
were some 25 cents lower on

June is the month when tmns
planting should be done of such
vegetables as cauliflower and
enhbage mm Into seeding tin!.Ua
be made on snap beans, lettuce,
late carrots and beets. A starter
solution can be mixed with com
mercial fertilizers and water
which can be applied to these
transplants as they are set out,
giving them a quick start and
better chance for growth when
they are set out. The formula
for this starter solution can be
obtained at the county agent's
office.
A number of gardens are often
ruined due to the attack of In
sects about this time of year.
Watch the growing garden crops
carefully and start control for
these insects when they are first
.found. Insect pest control is
one of the first requisites In
growing a successful garden. In
sects which eat and destroy
plants are killed by spraying the
plants they attack with a poi
sonous spray, such as calcium
arsenate, which is a stomach
poison. Other Insects, such as
aphis, and that are sucking in
sects that attack plants, can be
controlled with a poisonous dust
which is a contact poison, such
as nicotine dusts and sprays,
pyrethrum dust and sprays, or
rotcnone dusts and sprays. Spe
cial caution must be taken when
using poisonous materials on
food crops and whenever using
insecticides such as Paris green
and calcium arsenate mixtures
for the control of cabbage worm
or Insects on broccoli, cauli
flower, kale and collards, they
should be used In the early stage
of the plant growth and not
after the edible parts have be
gun to form due to poisonous
residues which may remain on
these vegetables. A complete
bulletin on insect pest control
may be secured at the county
agent's office without charge.

A moderate decrease occurred
in sheep and lamb slaughter in
May. The month's kill of ap
proximately 1,475,000 head was
8 per cent smaller than April
and 5 per cent under May. 1941.
although it also was slightly
above the five-year average.
Sheep and lamb slaughter for
the five months of this vear to
the end of May was 4 per cent

HOG MARKETS
A fairly heavy offering of
hogs, amounting to 2400 head
locally, did not disturb the mar
ket to any extent as good and
choice 170 to 215-pound slaugh
ter hogs sold at $14.35 to $14.50.
The market was 10 cents higher
in San Francisco, and fully
steady at Chicago.
Marketing of hogs have been
unusually heavy recently, with
arrivals at North Portland heln
nearly double those of a year
ago. ine slaughter in May,
amounting to 4,300,000 head,
was the second heaviest vnlnme
on record for that month. It
was 7 per cent in excess of May,
1941, and 35 per cent above the
five-year average.
WOOL MARKETS
While not much business was
done on the Boston wool mar
ket last week, some sales of good

wools were made at close to
selling prices, the price range
being from $1.16 to $1.18, scour

SPRING
EFFECTS SEEN
PORTLAND. June 25 (?)
Farm miH crop conditions ap
peared somewhat improved over
Oregon last week but there were
still reports ot retarded growth
and crop damage caused by un
seasonably wet and cold weather
in some areas.
The department of agricul
ture's crop report for Oregon
said that the peak of the straw
berry harvest had passed in the
warmer areas with picking con
ditions improving. A good many
of the berries have been of in
ferior quality because of the
poor weather. Raspberries were
beginning to reach the markets.
Other berries were doing well.
Cherries ripened but showed
some damage from rot and rain.
Control of pear scab and blight
has been facilitated by improved
weather.
Conditions are a bit more fav
orable for tomatoes but the crop
remains backward. Replanting
of watermelons and cantaloupes
has been necessary and gardens
and truck fields are weedy. Sum
mer squash and new potatoes
are in the market locally. Cul
tivation and hoeing of sugar
beets are progressing.
Pastures and low ranges in
eastern and southern Oregon ere
drying, but northwestern pas
tures and higher ranges are in
good condition. Livestock con
dition is reported good-to-excellent
Sheep shearing Is almost
finished. Conditions for haying
are a littlo better and the first
alfalfa cutting is complete In
some early areas.
Corn has made some growth
but is behind schedule yet be
cause of the wet weather. Winter
grain is ripening slowly and
tilling well. Early spring wheat
is maturing under satisfactory
condition.
Rainfall figures for the week
include the following: Albany
