1 1 I! PACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON IIILTO HYSLDP M 0FG01ITTEE Harry Jackman of- Malin has been named county chairman of the George R. Hyslop Agricul tural Research memorial and expects to be able to announce the complete list of committee members soon, he announced this week. This is part of a statewide movement of farmers and busi nessmen connected with agri culture to raise a substantial fund to serve as a perpetual working memorial to the late Professor Hyslop of Oregon State college, who devoted most of his life to the betterment of Oregon crops. As soon as the committee is completed, plans will be carried out to see that every farmer in Klamath county knows about the memorial fund and has a chance to contribute to it any amount he may choose. Only the , income from the fund will bo used to help fin ance experimental work in im provement of Oregon crops, thus continuing the work of Pro fessor Hyslop. The money will do double duty, says Jackman, as graduate students will be ob tained to do as much of the work as possible, hence they will be helped in getting an education in Oregon while they help solve Oregon problems in me i arm crops iieia. - FACTORY MUSTS! Walter Hannon, head of the Hannon Refining company, said today that he is certain the com pany's plant near Mt. Laki will be re-built in time to begin oper ating at the time of the potato harvest this fall. The Hannon plant burned down several months ago, inter rupting . production of starch from low-grade potatoes. Hannon has been actively at work since, attempting to get the way cleared for materials and labor to re-build. He said today that at last the way ap pears clear for reconstruction. ts . a a o MSSMnnnnnnnnij f of r 00000000e00t0000 C C 0 10,500 10,000 9,500 9,000 8,500 8,000 7,500 7,000 6,500 6,000 5,500 5,000 4,500 4,000 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 01 l Ki t II II 1,1 I. 1 ,1 I J I The Upward Curve of Spud Shipments This graph shows what has happened in potato shipments in tho Klamath basin in the last 20 years.

T IFAT1 FAVOR FARM PARITY BILL By CLAIR JOHNSON WASHINGTON, June 15 (P Congressional approval was pre dicted today for house-passed legislation to guarantee farmers parity prices a step which Rep. Pace (D-Ga.) termed "the most important action for agriculture in two years." . Farm leaders of opposing fac tions in both chambers joined in supporting the proposal which Pace successfully submitted to the house yesterday as "a sub stitute for and improvement on" the controversial Bankhead Brown textile amendment to the price control act. The Georgian declared his plan "without increasing con sumer costs one cent, will pro vide 50 to 75 million dollars yearly to cotton growers, and Reduced Barley Crop for 1944 Forecast by USD A Barley production for this year was forecast this week by the U.S.D. at 299,533,000 bush els, compared with 322,187,000 bushels last year and a 10-year average production of 256,350, 000. Production of oats is Indi cated as 1,193,410,000 bushels, based on June 1 conditions. Last year '1,143,367,000 bushels were produced and the 10-year average production was 1,028, 280,000. This year's rye crop is indi cated as 31,608,000 bushels, com pared with 29,711,000 bushels lndic?ted a month ago, 30,781, 000 bushels produced last year i SUGAR STAMPS GOOD INDEFINITELY TOW and a 10-year average produc tion of 40,446,000. Caraway seeds are not seeds; they are the dried fruit of the caraway plant. 38 :mustard- 8 ( j i 4,1 . i A. MM I t. I -e .-.ft If ,f i 1 proportionate returns to many other agriculture producers." Cotton, wheat, rye, peanuts and eggs would be the major items on which farmers would get immediate price boosts if the measure becomes law, Pace said. He added that the amendment "specifies simply that a pro cessor must certify to the OPA that he has paid the farmer par ity for agricultural commodities, or if he does not do so he must sell the finished product at only 90 per cent of ceiling prices." (Parity is an arbitrary price calculated to give farmers a pur chasing power equivalent to that of some former favorable pe riod for agriculture, usually. 1909-14). Rep. Hope (R-Kans.) declared "Pace's plan would do every thing congress possibly can to guarantee farmers a parity price on all their products. If it is properly administered, I think it will be a great forward step." Klamath Man May Be In Invasion Possibility that the brother of a local woman may be involved in the European invasion, was voiced today by the sister, Mrs. Esther Shreeve, 906 East Main, when she thought she recognized his picture in the invasionphoto that appeared on the front page of The News and Herald Wednes day depicting soldiers aiding a war correspondent with his equipment. .. The man is PFC G. W. Peter son of Portland, and while iden tification is uncertain, there is a strong possi'Dilitv that he Is the man in the photo. FOOD METHODS AGREED ON AT CONFERENCE General agreement on recom mended processing methods for different foods to insure botli quality products and safety for the homemaker was readied lit tho state conference on home food preservation in Portland last mouth, according to Mrs, Winnifred K. Glllen, Klnnuith county home demonstration agent. Whilo these recommendations are for Oregon conditions, they are much the snino as- those adopted nationally and now in cluded in a new United States department of agriculture bul letin, "Home Canning of Fruits and Vegetables." Oregon liomo niakcrs nro advised, however, to depend more on publications of Oregon Statu college, as these take into account local condi tions. The six processing recommen dations agreed upon at Portland follow: 1. That tho hot water bath method be used only for can ning acid fruits, rhubarb and tomatoes. 2. That the steam pressure cooker be used for processing all non-acid and low-ncid food products such as vegetables, meats, poultry and fish. 3. That the open-kettle method be used only for such products as jams, jellies, preserves, pickles and relishes. 4. That oven canning Is un safe and not recommended for any product. The results arc too variable since the method is dependent upon the correct working of ttcat control devices and uniform distribution of heat within the oven. 5. That tho steam-bath method is . not recommended since it often results in inadequate pro cessing. 6. That the pasteurization method : is recommended for fruit juices. For best quality, fruit juices arc packed at tem peratures not exceeding 180 de grees F. Where pressure cooker time tables include a choice of cither a 240 degree or 250 degree book, lower temperature is rec ommended for a quality pro duct, except in the case of green leafy vegetables.

SCHIEFERSTEIN County Weed Control Supervisor icaitom inoio; ino lonowing is the second' and final Install ment of an article on Klamath basin weed control work). Chemicals Cultivation mix boon tho most practical, or at least the most successful method of uttack In tho past and still remains so. However, there Is a place for chemicals in any weed control program. Of tho various chemi cals used as herbicides for the control of weeds, t h o r o are three which work well under Klamath county conditions. They ore sodium chlorate, car bon bisulphide and dlesel oil, Ulosol oil, classed here us n chemical, gives excellent con trol on all weeds when sprayed on under a pressure of from S00 to 300 pounds, through n nozzle of a typo which will break up the oil Into a dense fog which will envelop and penetrate all purls of the plant above ground. Oils lighter In body than, dlesel oil ure not so .satisfactory. Whilo there is some actual eradication from the use of dlesel oil, It Is quite slow, there being llltlo appar ent results for several years, which seems to indicate that because green growth has been kept down the roots have starved out. This is much the same as the clean cultivation method in results. Sodium chlorate a salt. Is effective on most weeds except whito top, on which results are apt to bo poor. Sodium chlorate is recommended only for patch es where cultivation is not practical, as it has tho disad vantage of killing tho soil for periods of from three to six years, depending upon the amounts used. The muterlul Is dusted on in tho dry state In the full of the year and left for the winter moisture to carry Into the soil. It kills as it pene trates. Stock should not he grazed on areas which have been treated with sodium chlo rate as it is poisonous to it and inflammable. A permit to pur chase this material for weed work Is no longer required.

Actlvulod curbon bisulphide Is tho material lined for weed control and appllcu Hon Is made by Injecting two ounce doses In holes four to six Inches deep at IB-Inch Intervals over the entire weed patch. He cent experiments In Klamath county indicate that tho best time to use carbon blsulnhlda Is during the winter months or when the weeds arc dormant. Kills liuvo been more coimlsloul when iniule in this period than nt any time of tho year and al though the work Involved In applying the materlul during the winter m onllis may bo S renter', becnusd of frost, tho etter results obtained mote than offset the exlra work, Uniform kills on nil noxious weeds have been obtained un der practically every condition of soli, moisture, etc., tti bv found in the county. Included In the trlnls were IS which have extended over u two-yenr period, and theso covered high, well-drained railroad grades, which tire made up principally of fill dirt, gravel and cinders, and on low wet heavy soils which were poorly drained. No special preparation of the area Is necessury and the work can bo done by anyone with a few simple tools. Certain pre cautions must bo observed when handling this material, as It Is highly volatile. Smoking should bu dispensed with and I lie same care used In storing gasoline should be used In storing this material. Tills chemical docs not injuro tho soil for long pe riods. Summary, County Weed Work A brief summary of weed work in Klamath county the past year is as follows: 030 acres of noxious weed Infested ground was cultivated for weed control; 2420 pounds of .sodium chlorate were used, principally along county roads: KI3 gallon of carbon bisulphide were used, nearly all for experimental pur poses; 20,401 gallons of dlesel oil wcru used along roads, EVERYBODY LIKES ELDERBERRY JELLY Save Sugar and Berries with This Easy Recipe 4!

Fifteen acres of pan turn, lnicHled with bull Ihlntlu, was cut by Ilia county, anil ap proximately 100 acres of tlilntlc Infested ground was cut by In dividuals. Much of this work will have to bo repeated again this year to hold the weeds In check as It Is only by persist ent effort that wo etui keep ahead of thanci pests. AAA Payment! Payments to farmers signed up under the tigrlculturul ad justment association program can ho earned by carrying out approved wend control prac tices on certain noxious weeds found on their farms, which are II:. ted as follows: Canada thistle morning glory, while lop, leafy spurge, blue flower ing letun'0, toad flax, lUisslan knapweed and tansy ragwort. Prior approval must bo obtained at which time specifications will be furnished, nt I lie AAA office In tho federal building.
