PACE TWENTY-TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON THURSDAY, DEC. 1, 14! Leofroll Causes Most Potato Rejections Ai mliht be expected, leafroll caused th moit rejection srsin this yr In the Oregon Stat col fece potato ccd certification pro sjram. Year In and year out, leaf roll give th moat trouble. This year wa no exception. Th man In chant of potato cer tification work, Elmer Johnwn, lay there were 347 acre ot pots toe entered for certification this year. Just over 3000 acre passed. Milk Cow Decline Levels Off After drifting down hill for about five years, this year th number of milk cows In thu country seems to have leveled off. Ear'y this year, farmers In all part of th country had a record number of younf stock In propor tion to the number of mature milk cow. V any lighter culling could bring a fairly lanre increase In cow number In all regions. However, economists of the U. 8. department of agriculture say any Increases are likely to be moderate. And they even look for further de cline In cow numbers In the west ern com belt, where cash grains and meat animal still offer better returns to farmer than does dairy tanning. More Milk In the past few years, by keep ing better cows, culling out the low est producers, and feeding more concentrate and better roughages, dairy farmers generally have nun aged to get more milk per cow. Up to this year the more milk per cow has just about offset the ef fect oi toe uetiuic w auim. cuw numbers. N This year, with cow numbers steady and a record output of milk per cow, dairy farmers have turned out more milk every month than during the corresponding month of last year. On the other hand, the use of whole milk and cream has contin ued about the same a a year ago. So the Increase in total output of milk has gone into manufactured dairy product less Into production of evaporated and dry whole milk, but more Into making butter and cheese. That Is. those 3000 acre are over th bump a far as field Inspection are concerned. There' still th greenhouse or test plot hurdle to get over. railed Although more than 3000 acres ot pastors failed to meet field certifi cation standards this year, Johnson point out that IMS records show decided Improvement over those of last year. In 1946, the seed certification spe cialist says more than 1300 acres were rejected. Reason for Improvement this year, says Johnson, include better quality seed, better rogulng, fewer insects, more effective insecticides and not to be overlooked lot of good luck. Cirewers Th state's leading certified seed potato grower in 1949. is Clyde Ward of Baker. He had JIB acre of Netted Oema. On th other hand. Emet Ham- back of Tigard ha th most certi fied varieties fourteen. Looking at the entire potato seed certification picture. Netted Oem potatoes stand number one In total acreage. White Rose are second, then comes Burbanks. Altogether, Johnson certified 18 different pota to varieties this year. Sj( fey Km t Hi! Mary Rest lit.
