CLE JOINS STAFF L. aaafS. ay-jab tTtrrvi 'Spring nn'WSflTigfin, c .LT.v Harry Cline, recently of the Morrison Brothers Seed com pany of Dlshman, Wash., has joined the staff of Merrill Mills. effective May 10. Cllne will servo as field representative for tne firm. Previous to his tenure with the Washington Seed company, Cllne was tmploycd as assistant county agent at Mllton-Frce- water. Ore., for seven years. This addition to the Merrill Mills staff provides the local plant with two men of wide an ricultural experience and train ing. Cut Hagglund, newly ap pointed manager, was connect cd with county work in Mai hour and Doschutes counties for 14 years. Cline will devote the major portion of his time to agrlcul turo development work, says Haggiuna. inc Kiamain oasin it stll ln the growing stage and many new things in farming are yet to come. A trained and ex perienced field representative can aid materially in sound, progressive development through close attention to new methods and materials.

By J. R. McCAMBRIDGE Assistant County Agent When water Is used on the garden, the soil should be mois tened to a depth of six inches or more, not merely dampened on the surface. Light sprink ling of vegetables will cause the roots of tlie plunts to form near the surface of the soil and con sequently will require almost a daily irrigation to maintain uni form and steady growth. Mois tening to a depth of six Inches or more will aid deep root forma tion which will not require daily Irrigation. Hand sprinkling of garden crops with a hose is of very lltllo value because not enough water is applied at any one time to be of much value to the crop. This method of ir rigation is-misleading -because it gives the plants a -refreshed appearance but docs not get the moisture down to the- root sys tem where it is needed, a - - Garden crops vary in their need for moislure to make them grow properly. The root system of various vegetable crops influ ence the water requirements. Adequate moisture in the top 12 inches of soil Is essential for rap Id growth of shallow rooted filants. More frequent Irrigation s required for shallow rooted vegetables because much of the water in tho upper layer of soli is lost during hot weather, due to the rapid rate of evaporation. e a Lawn clippings, composts, straw and leaves are excellent mulching materials. A blanket of this material i to 1-inch thick will aid in preventing rapid eva poration. Earwigs, cutworms and other insects will get be neath the mulch material and feed on the vegetables. There fore, it Is a good idea to apply earwig and cutworm bait previ ous to the application of the mulching material. Mulches, aro especially recom mended for reducing fruit crack ing and blossom end rot of toma toes. The mulch for tomatoes should be placed soon after the plants have been set. This mate rial can also be used to an ad vantage with strawberry plants as it prevents the berries from resting on the ground and will help to keep them clean. This type of mulching will prevent the soil from crusting. as well as prevent evaporation. Gardeners should avoid walking between the rows of vegetables when tho soil is wet as it causes the soil to pack hard and will hinder good vegetable growth. Moisture is also robbed "from vegetables by weeds. Not only Ocean View Bulb Land II acres, paved highway on both sides, about IS acres fine Illy bulb soil, Vst mile from finest fishing.

STOP FOREST Chairman FIRES PARADE, BANQUET SET do weeds take moisture from the garden but il takes the plant food from the garden as well. Cultivation of the garden has one important function and that is to control weeds. Weeds are most easily killed when small If they arc allowed to go bo yond the seedling size they com pete seriously with the vege tables for plant food, water, light and air. One should avoid deep cultivation in tne vegetable gar den. Experimental evidence has proven that deep cultivation very often restricts the crowth of vegetables as very often the feeder roots of the vegetables are damaged, weekly but shal low cultivations are almost nec. cssary and cultivation is also desirable following rains. "A shuffle hoe" makes a con venient cultivating tool for scraping the surface and killing the sprouted weeds. The larger weeds may have to be hand pulled. This is much easier done and will not disturb the vege tables if done when the toll is moist. This rain has been excellent for gardens and possibly will furnish plenty of moisture for a few days. In the next week's column we will have some more information on garden, irrigation methods. . Have you registered your gar den for your credit refund with the California Oregon Power company?

The decennial census of Can ada in 1941 established the Eski mo population at 7205. 7a Mote! -By Phyllis Beardtley Read the title of a Cooper ative and then had to stop and rest. It is the "Jameston Farmers Union Federated Co operative Transportation As sociation." Imagine the girls who answer the telephone. Even if they would abbrev iate it it would still be the JFUFCTA. Hope their earn ings compare with ' their name. Oregon's growing importance as a sweet corn canning state is indicated by the fact that in the 10 years from 1834 to 1943 Ore gon's canned pack has increased from 33,406 to 212,035 cases, a gain of more than 500 per cent. Much of the increase is attri buted to the introduction of bet ter sweet corn hybrids well adapted to use in this date, ac cording to A. G. B. Bouquet and Andrew Steiner of the vegetable crops section at Oregon State college. They are authors of a circular of information, No. 361, which list 31 yellow sweet corn hybrids that have' been tested here. Length of season and oth er characteristics of each are given. While many hybrid varieties have been introduced in the past decade, the first one, . Golden Cross Bantam, is still, predom inant in popularity and acreage, both for the open market end for processing, the authors say. Yearly testing of newly Intro duced varieties is carried on at the - experiment station to pro vide information for growers. The circular, which is devoted entirely to a discussion of the different varieties and their origin, may be obtained at any xounty extension office. - Classified A as Bring 'Results.
