Market and retail auppllea are Local Men Attend Spud Field Day Six Klamath county potato grow era attended the Potato Field Day at Corvnllls, June 26. The six were Henry Semon, Scott Warren, Cliff Dunn, Karl Dehltnger, Louie Lyon and Ed Stastny. About 100 grow ers from different Oregon potaVo growing sections were present. Progress reports covering Investi gations being carried on potato dis eases and control of disease spread by control of insect carriers were given at a morning meeting. It was apparent that many seed growers are using insecticides as an additional practice to Improve qual ity of seed produced. The Portland area seems to be on a dust sched ule at eight to 10 day intervals. Records shown at the meeting in dicate that Inadequate dusting can be as detrimental as adequate dust ing can be effective. Apparently three to six dustings may be nec essary in the Klamath area. Net Whole Answer It was pointed out that dusting in itself is not the answer. Thor ough roguing to remove diseased plants as early as possible is still necessary. Dusting is thought of as merely another valuable aid. A newly recognized potato disease temporarily named "late breaking virus" was discussed. Symptoms in clude late emerging weak plants in some cases. Another manifestation Is a late season rolling of top leaves in well developed plants, accom- J ranted by serial tubers in axils of eaves. The disease causes affected plant to produce very small pota toes. LeafroU is still the main worry of Russet growers. Best con trol is afforded by selection of good seed as free as possible of leafroll Infection. It was stated that leaf roll has become a major concern In Idaho production areas also. Because leafroll spreads rapidly and can be carried In quantity from one bad field to several adjacent clean fields, tome growers are con sidering advisability of regulations requiring that all planting stock be tested and required to meet maxi mum tolerances for leafroll.

Referring to meat prices, the American Meat Institute said In statement: Big Demand "Ordinarily the present supply of meat would be reasonably adeouate. However, an unprecedented demand has made the average supply level inadequate. With 1926 prices as a hose aver age of 100, the Associated Press wholesale prices index Friday was 176.64. A year ago the figure was 122.28. This represents an increase of 43 6 per cent In the year. The highest was reached in March at 184.32. A compilation by the federal bu reau of labor statistics, shows that for May, the most recent calculation available, this index was at 155.8 on a 1935-38 base average of 100. Throughout the war period up to a year ago the Index had advanced 55. S points. In the ensuing year it went up ti.S points.
