Alumina Plant To Make Fertilizer for Farms A supply ol ammonium sul phate for Oregon farmers avail able Immediately has been as sured through arrangements for manufacturing at least 2500 tons of this material, and possibly 6000 tons, at the new aluminum plant at Salem. , Final arrangements for this supply were made during a visit t' in . Washington of Arthur S. King, extension specialist , in ' soils, who enlisted the aid of Senator Guy Cordon and the Reconstruction Finance corpora tion. The Columbia Metals cor poration acting as agents for the RFC is operating the Salem plant and will do the manufac turing. : Material Distributed Although it was necessary for the OSC extension service to purchase the entire quantity from the Columbia Metals cor poration, ,thc material will be distributed inrougn local deal ers who agree to handle it on a limited margin. King explains. These maximum margins are S2 per ton for sales made directly off of a car or truck, and $4 per ton for material that passes through the dealer's warehouse. The entire cost to the growers will be approximately the same "Just tke thing for Skipperf ssdd Doctor , ' ' fMnwi Hilton ii i - J Li Jm n So right away I put Skipper on Borden's Evaporated Milk!

Government aid in making this emergency supply available in Oregon was obtained on the basis that, without this unusual arrangement, growers would be left with practically no ammon ium sulphate available for such vital crops as grass seed, pas tures and early vegetables. On this basis the RFC agreed to subsidize the operation to a cer tain extent and have raw ma terials shipped to the Salem plant for manufacturing. No other supply was available now or in sight this season in this region, says King. Actual distribution of the ammonium sulphate will be handled by the Woodburn Feed and Supply company. Orders can be sent to them direct by dealers or through King's office. All county agents have been notified of trie arrangements ana can advise growers or local deal ers on further details. Seed Potato Samples To Be Tested Certified potato seed samples from Oregon growers have been taken to California again this year for advance testing, with planting at the Oceanside test area started November 26, re ports Chet Otis, assistant exten sion crops specialist at Oregon State college. Nearly twice as many Oregon samples have been submitted for testing this year as last. By planting the seed late in November, readings on appear ance of any disease can be made starting February 15, says Otis, well in advance of the northern planting season. Duplicate sets of the samples will be planted at Corvallis next April for a fur ther check, as was done last year, Otis explained. For this year's tests 157 grow-, ers in 13 different counties have submitted 260 samples of 10 varieties. Of the total 192 are certified samples. 56 foundation stock, and 12 war approved graoe seed. Test Plots More states than ever before are making use of the southern California test plots, says Otis. This list now includes Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Colorado, North Dakota, British Columbia, Minnesota and Utah, with possibly Nebraska and Nev ada to come in yet. Pontiac, a new variety of po tatoes developed in Michigan. made a fine impression on its first appearance in Oregon this year, reports E. R. Jackman, ex tension specialist in larm crops. In Malheur county 100 acres were planted with this new po tato, replacing Bliss iriumpn. Both varieties are of the round, red type and both are early, but tne Pontiac is nigner yielding, has a nigner percentage of No. l's and is injured less in digging. The table quality of both pota toes is high. Malheur farmers plan to expand Pontiac acreage as quickly as they can get de- pendaDie seed. Markets Firm Potato markets were firm through the week ending No vember zu, witn prices sugnuy below those of a year ago. Mean while the general truck and tree fruit markets maintained a firm tone desmte heavy loadings which, for the week ending No vember 17, reacned oou in ure gon, 1200 in Washington and 2081 in Idaho, with potatoes and apples predominating. At Portland on Tuesday, No. 1 Deschutes Russets sold to retail ers at a top of $3.25. At San Francisco, grade A Klamath Gems have been selling recently at $2.80 to 52.85, broker sales, or- around $3.35 wholesale. Idaho Russets on the Chicago market have maintained a steady to firm position at $3.35 to $3.45 a hundredweight in carlots for grade A. Demand for fruits presents quite a different picture from a year ago when the government was taKing large amounts oi fruits for military and other uses. This year most of our fruit crops are available to civilians. Shipments under lend-lease have been terminated and shipments for relief feeding have not been large. On the other band, the apple crop is only about half as large as average so that very low quality fruit which normally could not find a market has been marketed readily this year.

JOHNSON PACKING CO. THE HOME OF QUALITY MEATS PHONE 5323 Clearing Sagebrush Big Aid In Forage Increase Clearing sagebrush from rango land in eastern Oregon, offers the best single method for increasing forage supplies in the state, believes E. R. Jackman, extension specialist in farm crops at Oregon State college. Numerous studies at the Squaw Butte experiment station and other western stations show that when sagebrush is removed, for age production can bo doubled. The sagebrush takes up so much moisture that there is lit tle left for grasses and palatable weeds, says Jackman. The mere removal of the sago where there is a good cover of grass, doubles the forage, experiments have shown. In cases where there is little or no grass, tliu removal of the sagebrush does not accom plish much without reseeding. Fire appears to be the cheap est and. most effective way of removing sagebrush, where con ditions permit, but there is mure involved than just setting the range on fire. Fire guards must be built, back-fires made and all work done with a crew big enough to keep the fire from Butter Scarce Over Nation Scarcity of butter, so apparent on the west coast, is reported general throughout the country with markets firm and demand intensified. Butter- production was at a new low level for' the week ending November 23, with government releases not enough to bridge the gap in demand. Supplies were acutely short at most markets with distribution on a limited quota basis and open market wholesale trading practically non-existent. Some dealers at eastern markets were increasingly dependent on- gov ernment storage releases. Butter production and receipts have reached new low levels in the last 23 years and the trend appears still lower. Dealers re port further shrinkage in cream supplies to creameries as other users were in a position to out bid the creameries. Good demand at firm prices for turkeys continued right up to the eve of Thanksgiving, with heavy receipts at most Pacific coast markets. Local needs were filled, though some buyers took heavier birds than desired. getting out of hand, Jackman believes. The burning method has proved practical under some western conditions and where the most abundant grass could stand the fire. This method is to bo tried out thoroughly under Oregon conditions at Squaw Butte.
