Klamath Experimental Station Attracts Throng To Annual Field Day SeraUtanbJIetos wSfcfc Funds Sought In Battle On Northwest Wheat Smut PENDLETON, July A move to secure an additional $78,000 in federal funds for combatting wheat smut In the Pacific Northwest has been virtually assured by a Senate-House Joint conference commit tee, the Oregon Wheat Commission has been informed by Congress man Sam Coon. If the Increase is approved by Congress when the department of agriculture appropriation bill comes up for final action, it will raise the total federal appropria tion for smut research to $126,000. These funds will supplement the present smut control program be ing carried on by the Oregon and Washington experiment stalions Oregon Holstein Bull Wins Honor BBATTLEBORO, Vt. solnny Flood Perfection 44th, registered Holsteln-Frieslan bull owned by Barber Bros, fc Edwin I.. Barber, Nehalem, Oregon, has heen hon ored as a "Silver Medal Tvpe Sire" by The Holsteln-Frieslan As sociation of America. This high award is based on his ability to transmit to his daughters highly desirable characteristics of body conformation according to the ideal Holstein-Friesian score card. Of the 26 daughter-, of this bull bom 3 or more years ago or that are known to have calveu, 19 have been officially classified for type by an official inspector of the na tional association. They have an average score of 82.3 olnts. Among these daughters, 2 were classified as "very good", the sec ond highest score an animal can receive. (The bull himself has been classified as "very good" also.) and the Oregon Wheat Commission which together account for about S300.000 in control funds. The new funds will provide for hiring seven additional techni cal men, four assistanls, labor, supplies and travel for expanded breeding and testing in a coordi nated regional program for all-out war against smut. More thsn 2B per cent of Northwest wheat graded smutty last year, costing wheat growers six million dollars in reduced returns. The Senate approved the addi tional funds but the amount was not included in the appropriation measure previously passed by the House. Tile $78,000 expanded program was requested late in April by Floyd Root.

BULL SERVICE OR RENT PHONE 3924 CECIL DREW Farm Loan Picture Up Farmers and ranchers in this area are using more long-term, low-interest credit to help level out the disparity between operating costs and farm commodity prices, according to H.. E. HamaKer, sec retary-treasurer of the Klamath- Lake National Farm Loan Assoc iation at Klamath Falls. Discussing the fiscal year finan cial report of the association and tr Federal Land Bank of SpO' kane, for which the association makes and services loans. Ham' aker said there is a definite trend toward the refinancing of short term obligations with long-term real estate mortgage loans. our association, which serves Klamath and Lake counties, ex perienced a material increase in loan volume in the fiscal year cnaed June 30, 1953," said Ha maker. "During thut 12 month per ioa we extended $416,000 in long' term, 4 per cent credit which was $54,200 more than the amount loaned in the preceding year. In the four states of Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington, the land bank loaned $19,739,100 otirmg tne last year. This was $2- 771,800 ahead of the previous year, and the largest volume in any one year since 1935. In Ore. gon the volume reached $4,117,600. .Hamaker said the bank's capi tal stock, owned entirely by the Klamath-Lake and 64 similar NFLA's in the four states, stood $4,486,000 on June 30, 1953. surplus and reserves had to $13,619,000. Nearly ISO farmers and people interested in agriculture from the Klamath Basin saw Monday at the Klamath Experimental Area Field Day the strides that have been taken since the experimental areas were first set up in 1937. - A. E. Gross, superintendent ot the experimental station, told those attending about the reclamation work that has been necessary on the high alkali content "scab land" tte main station is located upon. The 90 acre tract was selected be cause it was fairly representative of a large block of alkaline, sandy soil in the Basin, said Cross. In the early days of the station work the concentration was In look ing for crops and varieties adapt able for the soil and reclamation ot the alkaline areas through sur face washing, green manure crops and soil amendments (sulpher and gypsum). Because of a shortage of experimental funds the practices started at that time were restricted to those that didn't require a cash outlay. aross further explained the amount of reclamation on the main station was limited by a high water table. In an attemnt to allevlat this situation a 12 foot deep dram penoraiet pipe 750 feet lontr in. stalled. This year test hold opera tions have shown the water table has been lowered from 12 inches vw a or lour xeet loo feet from the drain. As the water has moved to and through the drain it also car ried salt thereby leaching out much iu we maun in me soil, said Gross. A lOUr Was mad rinrlnv .

The results or the off station far mer cooperative fertilizer trials that have beeh and are being con ducted were also discussed during tne day. The assembled farmers were told that the results from trial cuttings of native meadow pas tures indicated a definite response to a compicts fertilizer (nitrogen. phosphate and potash). F. E. Price, dean of the Oregon State college school of agriculture and director of the experiment station, told a croup of the far mers attending the field day that probably the major development of the Klamath experimental area has been the outstanding reclama uon woik mat nas oeen none wun minimum ot time and expense.
