Box 522 TULELAKI Phone) 2146 An Increasing taatr1 among Klam ath county rraidrnta and anyonr who has rvrr lived here, for wild plum preserves, la piumptlng some forraighlrd ranchers to drvrlop wild plum groves on their land. Chrt Barton. Pne vallry rancher planted 100 small plum trrra last year but some of Uiem suffered from the past severe winter. The M0 Utile trees plsnted by W. W. Southwell on his Henley rsnch this year are doing fine and hav put forth bountiful new growth. Cultivated wild plums arr tuned from budding stock obtained through Orrgon State college from the brat of the wild stork In Klam ath and Lake rountirs. It la budded onto peach roots and rxperimenta prove that the Uate of the domesti cated spectra la no different frorj the wild varieties. Peach mots are recommended ovrr the original plum roots for their sturdit.eas and fast growing qualities. Trot made by OHC flrld men In bi-annual atudlea In the wild groves show 10 varieties of the wild plums or "prunus suboordata." If only one species is plsnted In 1 grove thr trees will not reproduce. Southwell has sis vsnetiea among his M0 plants. An advantagr of domesticating the plums la to have them where they can be protected from or dinary haurds of thr wood, gophrra and porcupines rating thr tender young ahoota and aphida attacking the trrra later on. Between frosts j at blossom time this year, followed I by heavy aphid Infestation, thr : yield of wild plum groves is expected i to be way below normal this fall. ' The OHC flrld men arr expected to be In Klamath and Lake countien thla month, making a routine check I and will have a more definite fore-' cast on the crop when the tour n completed. ! Trees In ranch orchards are re-! moved from marginal lands which 1 support damaging animals, and are 1 aourcrs of aphid sprrad. Thry can be sprayed for disease and Irrigated through dry seasons. I The Urt taste of wild plum pre- i serves u becoming increasing! v popular, especially as an accom panist for wild game, and ranchers, Introducing trees into their farm plana have an ryr for thr com- i mercial market for their crop.
