Suggestions
i Use Coop 2-4-D on plantain and
dandelion In lawns, permanently
kills and will not destroy the grass.
Do not use on clover, ,
Use Coop'lO DDT Dust on lilac
and other shrubs being attacked by
the black beetle. While some call it
the Japanese Beetle, we believe it to
be the Blister Beetle and the story
goes that the Chinese ground them
to make plasters which were placed
oa the abdomen of narcotic pa
tients. The plasters 'resulting in
blisters.

Following a hot lunch, cooked

home extension unit, a trip was
made to view pastures established
on highly alkaline soils.
Dr. Harry A. Schoth, agronomist
of Oregon State college, and Dr.
D. D. Hill, also of OSC. spoke to
the group, explaining experiments
and trials. Jim Crane, research
assistant for Gross at the station,
demonstrated what can be done
with class S lands In agriculture.
Class 5 is the designation given
to the poorest type of land in
Klamath basin, which proves by
experiments made at the station
that It can produce fine crops with
proper treatment.
A field day at the Tulelake ex
periment station was held Friday

Beeman To
Be Apiary
Inspector
Donald Y. Beenaan. an ex
perienced commercial beekeeper who
lives at Bly, has been appointed
deputy apiary Inspector for Lake,
Klamath and Jackson counties, re
ports the state department of agri
culture. Beeman has already as
sumed his new work, in which he
replaces E. K. Xichols of Ashland,
who has resigned to devote his foil
time to his -own apiary of some 250
colonies.
Beekeepers are crowding for loca
tions In Oregon this year, declares
A. Burr Black, state apiary super
visor for the department, following
a recent survey. This situation Is
excellent for the farmer, but Is going
to result In a low honey yield per
colony for some bee. owners.
Black cites several places where
the bee population has grown like a
mushroom. In the John Day valley
there are today 1200 colonies where
usually are found from 125 to 300.
In the Brownsville area of the Wil
lamette valley, this season has
brought a gain of 1200 colonies. In
Klamath county nearly a dozen
commercial outfits with from 200 to
1000 colonies are on hand, com
pared with the usual three or lour
commercial beekeepers. Baker coun
ty today has more than two times as
many bees as a year ago. In the
newly developed Culver region in
Jefferson county, the increase, has
been from almost nothing to over a
thousand colonies.
The increased number of bees is
due to two factors. One Is the arrival
of newcomers to Oregon to engage
In the bee business: the other Is the
fact that this year for the first time
since early in the war beekeepers are
able to Increase their hives. Short
age of supplies and equipment pre
vented that increase In recent years.

Feed Grains
Still High
On Market
De:plte lower prices on feed
grains compared with a week be
fore, Pacific Northwest nurkels re
mained firm on commercial food
stuffs during the week ending July
30. according to the weekly feed,
stuffs review prepared by the OSC
extension service from USDA
market reports and other data. Of
ferings were rather scarce, especial
ly of wheat feeds, and standard
mlllrun and middlings advanced )3
a Ion.
Feed wheat, outs, and corn de
clined about tl.OO a ton at Port
land, while barley was unchaiuted
for the week. Chicago corn futures
were up and down but closed on
July 30 a little lower than a week
before. September corn declined
more than the other futures.
Nationally, commercial feedstuffs
markets also strengthened, con
trary to the decline in teed grains.
The United States index of whole
sale feedstuffs prices rose nearly
5 points, about 2 per cent. The
feed grain price index, however, fell
7.4 points, nearly 3 per cent. These
adjustments brought the relative
prices of feedstuffs and feed grains
more nearly into normal relation
ships. The greatest gain was made In
wheat feeds over the country gen
erally, but oilseed meals and alfalfa
! meal were also higher. The supply
of oilseed meals was reported to be
I diminishing. Production of -wheat
I millfeeds continued at a high level.
! - Feeding ratios in July have aver
I aged somewhat more favorable for
both dairymen and poultrymen In
I the country as a whole, than a year
' ago. That was owing to greater
advances In prices for eggs and but
tertat than for feeds. At the middle
of June, a pound of butterfat
would buy about 19 pounds of a
representative dairy ration, against
18. S pounds a year before. A dozen
eggs would buy about 12 pounds of
a representative poultry ration,
compared with 9.3 pounds a year
previous when eggs were much
lower In price. . .
Corn Sweeter
In Afternoon
Sweet corn picked during the late
morning or afternoon Is sweeter
than that harvested early in the
morning. "That is a timely garden
reminder from County Agent C. A.
Henderson, who explains that sugar
Is stored In the corn during the
day and changes to starch at night.
A second pointer for getting top
quality in home grown garden
products is to remove the tops
from root crops very soon after
digging. While in the ground, the
plant feeds from ie soil: but
when the plant Is dug. the tops
draw upon the food stored In the
root and thus reduce its value. This
applies to all root crops. Including
beets, carrots, turnips and pars
nips for example.
If ground is available in good
shape for planting, this Is a good
time to plant some fall spinach,
mustard, turnips, radishes, and let
tuce. Henderson adds. These are
nutritious foods that will be help
ful to the family budget later on.

Crossbreeding
Not Good Idea
Crossbreeding Is not a practical
Idea for the dairymen at present.
For his own good and (or that o(
the Industry aa a whole, the dairy
man should follow a sound program
of using sires or sons of proved aires
from tested cow families.
That Is the advice given member
of Oregon Dairy Herd Improvement
associations In a recent letter from
H. P. Ewalt. extension dairyman at
Oregon State college, Corvallls. .
When dairy breeds are crossed
Indiscriminately and the offaiirlng
are kept tor dairy purposes, much
that has been gained through years
of selective breeding Is lost, Ewalt
asserted. Two animals thus mated
may bring about an entirely new
combination of factors In the off
spring. Some unusually good In
dividuals may result, but the per
centage of mediocre and worthless
animals Is too high to follow this
practice.
Tile specialist declared, "There Is
no sound reason for using beef or
dual purpose breed bulls oa dairy
stock. The use of a scrub bull on
dairy cows is a waste of time and
money ". . ,.
