Certified
Spud Seed
Interest Up
Strong prices for commercial po
tatoes have stimulated Interest 'n
local certified seed. Considerable
certified seed lms been last to the
basin through commercial sale on
trong markets In prsI years.
No Oregon certified russet need
ran be taKged before test planting
results are available. No Oregon
russet seed can be tagged as certi
fied If test planting results show
more than 3 per cent leafroll. The
Oceanslde tolerance for leafroll In
certified seed has been cut to one
per cent this year.
Meanwhile, growers will have to
study test planting and field In
spection reports.
Orowers feel that one per cent
leafroll In seed is about the maxi
mum for successful commercial pro
duction. But if the county is to
plant Its 13.000 acre 1948 potato al
lotment, seed carrying as much as
one per cent leafroll or more will
have to be used.
Klamath county has about "70.000
or 80.000 sacks of seed that is likely
to pass that planting under one
per cent leafroll. About two times
that amount of seed is needed for
this year's planting.

Cattalo Calf, Kangaroos
Join Black-White Animals
Life in the private animal park
on the C. V. Barton Black and
White ranch in Poe valley has been
enlivened by three new arrivals
one an unusual youngster.
This little black fellow is unique
in that his mother is a cattalo, half
buffalo and half black Angus. Hy
brids don't usually reproduce and
when they do the young rarely sur
vive. This baby Is three-quarters
buffalo, having a buffalo pa. He
was born on the ranch Just before
Christmas. The catuuo had two
previous calves but neither survived.
Two lively half-grown kangaroos
complete the new animal trio. This
pair came from Sacramento.
an amazing leap, powerful haunches,
thick heavy tails which they use as
a support when standing and a
leverage when jumping. The male
is larger and dark colored. The fe
male is a light grey. They are
vegetarians and eat two meals a day
of barley and stale bread.
There have been 'roos before in
i the Barton park but they succumbed
to some mysterious malady as did
need to scare un around 2on rnr nf I
seed outside the area or plant seed
testing over one per cent leafroll or
seed not tested at all.
If some of the better certified
seed lots In the county are lost
through commercial sale, the qual
ity of this year's crop will suffer
accordingly.
Copies of field inspection results
for Klamath county certified russet
acreage are available at the county
agent's office. Copies of Oceanslde
test results will be available in
early February.
