Demand And Marketa
Btrong prices, exjieried everywhere
by Ihla tune brcauie of (he rapid
out-movement In Maine, short sup

of the early crop everywhere but in
California, have not yet matrrlal

era. One thing to rrmrmbrr la thai
the support price level la huh. and
anything like a real tpurl would In
volve aome really fancy prices.
In the early deal, Hastings has
allpped at about the half-way polui;
recovered aome fur a day or two and
then tUpped again. Trxita ha had
almoat the aame exierietico on al
moat Identical daya. However, both
areaa allll are comfortably above
the lower May tupporl levela. Cali
fornia apparenlly resisted a natunil
urge to boon prlrei during a week
er more of demand In excess of sup
pllea, Uien did raise Ihem, and over
tht week-end dropped to new lows
for the year at mostly around 14.00.
Thla a till la S1.3& over the floor and
stacks up better comparailvely than
prices In Florida and Texaa. Maine
alio declined after a few daya of bel
ter prices, and started this week at
about a dime over the floor for sir
A. Terminal reports generally are
dull and weak except on the Went
Coast. Track-holdings do not look
too big after watching them during
the winter, but are too big for warm
weather. Terminals are not In a
good position to stand preaiurt.

Don't forget lo watch the bills

Cattle Move
For Summer
Cattle are moving to summer
feeding grounds In tha Klamath
country from California areas In un
usually large numbers thla year, the
county agents offlca said to
day. The Influx of livestock finds the
feed situation a little short here.
Orass growth Is behind schedule
due to the Inte spring, and the hay
hold-over Is pretty well cleaned up.
Orass In the Fort Klamath and
I)!g Marsh countries should rnme
along rapidly now If the weather
'continues warm.
Spittle Bugs
Hit Berries
If you've got strawberry plants on
your farm or In yi ir garden, nerea
uu Important word from an ento
mologist. liolj Every, Oregon Htule college
extension cnUimologlsl, says It's
spittle bug season. And, spltlle bugs
call make the difference between
strawberry shorttake next summer
or Just cake.
Here's why. Die spittle bug Is a
nasty Utile nuisance that sucks Juice
from the strawberry plunt. II also
works on developing strawberry
fruit sUuns. The result la fewer and
deformed berries.
Uut Knlomoliiglsl Evr-y lells how
lo get Hie best of spittle bugs. Here's
the way. Check the underside of the
strawberry leaves and down In the
crown of the plant. The spittle bug
leaves a while, frothy secretion. It's
easy to see. The spltlle bug Itself
In yellowish green.
Bo, If you find signs of spittle
btiKs, here's what to do about it.
Itotenone duH Is the recommend
ed control, cine. half of one per cent
rolenone or .75 of one per cent
rolenone may be used. On large
acreages where a hood, row type
power duster Is used, the dust should
be applied at the rate of 60 pounds
per acre. In the backyard garden
where a hnnd duster Is used. Every
snys a light film covering the berry
leoves will be enough.

Soil Saving
Necessary
Spenklng recently about soils and
Mil conservation, P. L. Ballard, as
sociate director of the extension
service, had this to say:
"Maintaining the producing capa
city of our soils la a vital factor In
guaranteeing the future prosperity
of Oregon. Many things affect the
soil condition ihe croM grown, the
sequence In the rotation of those
crops, the Implement- and tillage
methods used, the amount of Irriga
tion water applied and tha manner
of Ha application, and the balance
between crops and livestock In the
farm operation. Knowledge of farm
practice? that will maintain soil
productivity and protect the land
against washing and blowing Is con.
stantly Increasing. Adoption of Im
proved practices has been wide
spread. It Is appropriate that we
take stock of our position; evaluate
the Job to be done; and concentrate
attention on those Items upon which
further progress la most needed.
Thai la tha purpose of Boll Con
servntlon Week."
