Alfalfa Is
Up And Coming
Oregon Crop
Alfalfa that are resistant to bac
terial wilt are coming Into sreater
uh In Eastern Oregon and other
Western States. Heretoord, for Irri
tated lands, Oiimm and Ladak have
been and are sUU standard varieties.
These varieties, however, do not
withstand bacterial wilt nearly as
well as some of the Turkman varie
ties and as a result stands depreciate
rapidly the fourth and fifth years.
Where alfalfa Is to be plowed up
after the third year bacterial wilt la
not a serious proble'i but where
stands are to be left ior hay for four
years or longer, considerable de
crease In tonnage results.
At the Klamath station, for a
four-year period from 1943 to 1948,
Ranger has outylelded all other
varieties with an average of 5.27,
Ladak was second with 8.06: and
Oregon Grimm third, with 4.98 tons
per acre. Orlmm was showing some
decrease In the 4th year yield. It
might be kept In mind that Meadow
Foxtail was seeded with the alfalfas
on the Klamath trials planted In
1942.
Undoubtedly, due to possibility of
bacterial wilt, which has made Its
appearance In the Klamath basin.
Ranger, Hardlstan and Orlstan, be
ing resistant to this disease, will
give a better yield If kept for hay
after the third year. i
Where alfalfa Is to be plowed un-1
der In the crop rotation program
and only kept lor hay for 3 years,
Ladak and Grimm will continue to
give good results. However, it is
questionable whether either of the.
varieties will quite equal the Ranger
under Irrigated conditions.

Month Of June Shied As
National Dairy Month
Potato Flea
Beetle Hits
Yalley Spuds
Here's the tip-off on another bug
nuisance.
This time It's the potato flea
beetle. And, says Bob Every, Ore
gon State college extension ento
mologist, the potato flea beetle is
active now In the Willamette valley
-.and central Oregon.
'-So, If you're going looking for the
Insect, Every says this Is what to
look tor. The potat flea beetle is a
small, black bug. It gets Its name,
flea beetle, because It's plenty ac
tive. It hops around Just like a flea.
On growing potato plants, the call
ing cards left by the flea beetle are
amall round holes eaten In the
leaves.
Every points out that this leaf
damage Is no headachqt Here's what
the grown-up flea beetle does to
cause real damage." It lays eggs In
the soil around the potato plant.
These eggs hatch Into worms, and
the worms feed on the growing
spuds. Then at digging time, the
worm Itself may be In the spud.
Or, at least the worm damage will
show. By the way. neither one
looks very tasty to the housewife.
To control potato flea beetle.
Every recommends that a three or
five per cent DDT dust be used at
the rate of 20 pounds per acre. A
lighter application may be used If

The month of June, this month. Is
national dairy month. The spot
light is focused not only on dairy
products, their use and their health
giving qualities, but on the man
who is responsible for their produc
tion, the dairyman.
In order to produce market or
grade A milk, the milk that is de
livered to your doorstep in bottles,
the dairyman has to make a con
siderable investment and take many
precautions to bring the consumer
a high quality product
We all know that milk comes from
cows. These days an average pro
ducing cow costs from S2O0 to $250
on up. Some of the registered dairy
cows recently brought into Klam
ath county ranged from (400 to
$1000 per animal.
If you think the cost of living has
gone up. the cost of feed for these
animated milk factories has sky
rocketed since before the war. Hay
thtt sold for S6 to S10 per ton now
sells for S2S to 132 per ton. Dairy
concentrate has -tripled In -price
since before the war and has prac
tically doubled since late 1946.
To produce grade A milk or mar
ket milk the dairyman must meet
certain minimum requirements In
way of a milking bam. and a milk
house. These reoulrements are set
up by state law. For a milking barn
to handle a string of 12 to 16 cows
at one time, together with a milk
house and equipment, the price-tag
will run about $10,000 these days.
Larger milk barns cost more. This
does not include feeding and loaf
ing barns, and other equipmen t
The animals in a dairy herd are
regularly tested for Bangs disease
and tuberculosis to guarantee the
consumer disease-free milk.
Dairying Is one Job where life is
mostly all work and no play. Dairy
animals require attention every day
and milking twice a day. A dairy
man's day starts early in the morn
ing, as early as 3 or 4 o'clock and
fin'shes as late as 7 or 8 o'clock at
nieht.
The modern dairyman Is required
to guarantee a somewhat even de
livery of milk to the distributor, the
year round. If he falls to do this
he is penalized, and may even lose
his rights on that particular grade
A market But the consumer is In
sured of a milk supply and does not
have to worry about no milk In the
winter or a surplus during the sum
mer months.
' The dalrvman must be given full
cred't for his effort in bringing us a
constant sunoly of that health giv
ing food. milk.
phorte acid a actually used by the
crop.
The most critical times for mi
trtenta and water for potatoes Is I
stated to be from the 20th to the I
50th day after plant emergence.
Four and five hundred pound ap
plications of 16-20-0 are common
practice In Klamath. Some grow
ers obtain greater yields with 600 to
800 pounds of complete fertilizers ;
which Include potash.

the potato plants are small. How
ever, to do a good Job on the potato
flea beetle, Every sars it's impor
tant to get the DDT dust on before
the bug has a chance to lay its eggs.
Plant Nutrients
Used For Spuds
Amounts of plant nutrients used
by one acre of potatoes which grew
112 days and produced 230 sacks
were: nitrogen 143 lbs.j phosphoric
acid 26 lbs.: pouch 232 lbs., accord
ing to Maine Investigations.
Some of these nutrients were sup
plied by fertilizer application. It
was considered necessary to apply
three times as much or more phos-
