Kennedy Administration Prepares Stand On Marketing Order Plans WASHINGTON (UPIl - The Kennedy Administration is ready to ask Congress to authorise federal marketing orders or pother new farm programs for any farm commodity. .. But the first move will have to , come from farmers producing the 'r commodity. ,, That summary of the way the administration feels about the new . marketing programs was issued k by Assistant Agriculture Secretary James T. Ralph. - Ralph spelled out the adminis tration stand last week in a speech -to agriculture department em , ployes at York. Pa. He pointed to a section of the I 1961 omnibus farm act under which farm groups could ask the ..department to appoint a commod ity committee to advise on new , legislation or administrative pro grams. Congress did not say it would - provide any new authority, Ralph ,i, said, but it did set up a plan undr which farm commodity groups i could begin the process of pre paring new proposals, n "The door is wide open," he 'said. "We are prepared to con sider any request received from a ' representative commodity group." Another step in a growing co 1 operative program to find new n overseas customers for American 1 farm products will be taken soon in Europe. The occasion will be the Nov. 10; opening of a 10-day United States ; food fair at Hamburg, Germany. -. It will be the largest overseas exhibit of American food products ,,ever presented and the first 'government food exhibition to in clude private, commercial exhibi tors on a large scale. The fair is part of. the market expansion program in which tne government co-operates with pri vate industry. Agriculture Secretary Orville L.

More than 1.SO0 American food products will be on tiisplay for European consumers, retailers and wholesale food dealers. A spreading tobacco disease in Europe may produce more over seas orders for American tobacco. The disease, called blue mold, already sharply reduced produc tion in some major European to bacco growing areas, especially in Italy and West Germany. A fear of this fungus disease has reduced plantings in some other European areas. Reduced production in Europe means rising imports to that area which already is the world's big- Tips For Home Gardeners Gladiolus corms or "bulbs" should be dug now. The tops should be cut back about one inch above the newly formed bulb Quick drying in a warm place with plenty of air circulation for several days will remove excess moisture and give better storage. Clean off the old corms and the roots after they have dried and store the new corms in shallow trays or mesh bags in cool, dry places where they will not freeze Heat during storage such as found next to furnaces will destroy the new corms with excessive drying and fungus rot. Squash and pumpkins keep very well if gathered and brought into proper storage after the leaves have frosted off and before ex treme low temperatures damage them. Squash and pumpkins should be brought into well ven tilated rooms and held under these conditions where they will not freeze during the winter. Storage should be in dry areas and not in damp cellars. Careful handling is important so they will not bruise for any damage spot will be a place for disease to Start. Dahlia tubers should be dug at the first opportunity since the tops have been killed back by frost. Tops should be cut within two or ihree inches of the group of tubers.

The most important suppliers for the European import trade are the United States and Rhodesia. A committee of turkey produc ers last week took the first step toward adoption of a federal mar keting order. The program could involve controls on handlers of turkeys and turkey hatching eggs to stabilize markets and improve prices. It is not likely, however, to take effect before sometime in eariy 1962, even assuming that a mai keting program is approved by the Agriculture Department and by turkey producers. In the meantime, government economists believe that turkey growers are facing several montns of low prices. Spring flowering beds should be planted during October and early November. These bulbs must be in the ground in the fall to pro-' duce fall root systems to give et ter blossoms in the spring. Soring planted bulbs quite often will not bloom and will be unsatisfactory in plant production. Bulbs are usu ally planted two or three times their diameter in depth in the soil. Excellent varieties in qualities of fall planting bulbs are in the gar den supply stores at this time. Fall planting of nursery stock and ornamentals is a desirable time in Klamath County if done during the proper conditions. De ciduous trees should not be moved before they have reached dor-, mancy but transplanting is suc cessful in November before the ground has frozen solid. Nursery stock from suppliers that is grown in containers may be moved at any time satisfactorily. Fall plant ing has definite advantages and should ' be considered as part of your gardening program. Ex cellent varieties are available that are acclimated to Klamath Coun ty conditions. Fall spraying with micronized copper . on the oriental varieties of arborvitae will help control the arborvitae fungus disease that has increased in Klamath County. Two sprays about three weeks apart are necessary. October is the best month in Klamath Coun ly to control inis disease, as sprays in the spring and sum mer are ineffective. Venison Cuts Cut venison steaks an inch Lo an inch-and-a-half thick to retain more of juicy succulent flavor, advises Andy Landforce. Oregon State University Extension wild life management specialist. Juices in venison do not come from fat within the meat but from moisture within the tissues. When steaks are cut thick, more of the natural juices are kept making more tender, flavorful venison on the table. LUMBER REJECT SHEATHING PcGBOARD HARD80ARD lUllBtNO . . . HUMIIHO ee- ILICCJtlCAI. SUMLIIf This year's U.S. crop o( alsikeacease this year bringing indical-372.000 clover is forecast at 2.836,000 pounds. 40 per cent below a year earlier and 74 per cent less' than the 1930-59 average. The current crop is the smallest of record and extends the downtrend in produc tion to (our consecutive years. The largest declines occurred in Minnesota and California, down 71 and "0 per cent, respectively. Lesser declines are forecast for Idaho, down 25 per cent: Illi nois, down 17 per cent; and ure-i gon, down 10 per cent. Droughty conditions in Minne sola, low prices offered growers for seed, a large carryover ad competition from imported seed were given as the primary reasons for the declines this year. Be cause of these, and other factors, growers harvested fewer acres than last year. Yields, however, were down only slightly. Oregon's 1961 production of al sike clover seed is forecast at 935,- 000 pounds, down 16 per cent from last year, and only 30 per cent of average, according to the Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting Bureaus Set Hospitality Date Plans County Farm Bureaus across the state of Oregon have set Sun day, Oct. 29. as Farm Hospi tality Day, a statewide attempt to show townspeople more about the modern farm life. Hundreds of town families from across the state will be invited to spend a day on a farm as guests of a farm family. It is likely the guests will find that the modern day farm is a little different from the James Whitcomb Riley farm of days gone by. While today's farm din ner may be as expansive as the farm dinners of yesteryear, the guests will find that a great deal of the food served comes from the supermarket. On many farms the guests may notS the absence of farm animals, since the specialized day of agri culture finds the farm operation devoted to perhaps one or two1 crops done on a highly skilled and highly professional basis. Guests will find that farm life is speeded up considerably and that tile modern-day farmer takes part in many of the same affairs of the community with which the townspeople may be associated. The entire program is a project of the Oregon Farm Bureau wom en and is a completely spontan eous suggestion to members of county Farm Bureaus to make this a special day to greet and to meet some of their friends from the city.

State Rules Milk Price Adjustment Adjustments in producer mCk prices m two westerp Oregon areas, retention of present prices in two other areas and a denia of a distributor petition to loosen regulations that limit milk check deductions are ccontained In five orders issued Oct. 5 and i by the state department of agri culture. The orders are result of hear ings held last month in Eugene. Roseburg, Coos Bay, Medford and Salem by Kenneth W. Sawyer producer milk stabilization ad ministrator. Here is what the orders do: 1. Maintain the Portland-Salcm area minimum price to producers at $5.80. This is the figure estab lished after June hearings and is 17 cents below the price which prevailed prior to the now his toric April break of $1.12 or the Portland market. 2. Adjust the Corvallis-Eugcne- Roseburg price downward from $6.09 to $5.92 to restore the free market relationship between the price in this area and the Port- land-Salem price. 3. Adjust the Coos Bay market price downward from $6.44 to $6.20, with butterfat differential unchanged. The Coos Bay order recognizes a location adjust' ment and narrows by seven cents (from 35 to 28 cents) the present margin between Eugene and Coos Bay markets. 4. Maintain the Medford-Grants Pass area producer price at $6.23 the same as at the time of June hearings. This is about 10 cents under the price prior to the Port land break. 5. Refuse to grant distributors more deductions than were al lowed in regulations drawn up under the act. This holds dis tributor deductible pooling charg es to three cents per hundred pounds and prohibits deductions from producers for normal costs of doing business, such as quality control, advertising and similar assessments which prevailed in the past. The department also held to the wording of the law that the two-cent fee for admin istrative costs must be paid by distributors. , Sawyer hopes these adjustments will halt the trend to move lower priced milk into higher priced areas, thus permitting locally pro duced milk to compete more equitably with out-of-area milk. He points out that the price reductions to producers in some areas will be compensated largely by the limitations on deductions which distributors can make, In the past distributor deductions for pooling have ranged from nothing up eight cents or more per hundredweight.

I , Brucellosis Vaccinating Dips Sharply Brucellosis vaccination of heifer calves in Klamath County has dropped off drastically during! 1961, according to records re ceived from the Stale Department of Agriculture by the county agent s office. The report shows that in 1959 there were 9.800 heifer calves vac cinated for Brucellosis. In 1960 there were 10,130, and up to date in 1961 there were only 5,500 heif ers vaccinated, according to Ray Peterson, county agent. Even though the county has been designated a modified certi fied Brucellosis area it is still nec essary that cattlemen vaccinate 100 per cent of their replacement heifers if they are to continue as certified herds, and in order to keep the county on a modified certified Brucellosis area basis. According to Petersen the Brucel losis control regulations require that herds not following a com plete vaccination program will have to have their herds blood tested once a year to maintain their certification. Recertification of the county at the end of the present three- year certification which ends on Jan. 19, 1962, will depend on the results ot Blood tests made in slaughter plants of tagged slaugh-! ter cows from this county, and the record of vaccinations of the herds in the area, and those who ship slaughter cows to market will find it to their advantage to have their cattle tagged by the brand inspector with the official govern ment tags which are used to trace slaughtered cows back to the own. cr so that they receive creditl tor Bangs-lree animals. Form Bureau Speaks To Annual Session The annual meeting of thel Klamath County Farm Bureau I was held recently at the Bonanza School Cafeteria. Sixty five mem- bers were In attendance and en joyed a smorgasbord dinner pre pared and served ny Mrs. r-s-ther Brown ot the Bonanza Cafe. Lou Norris, tax and legislative director for the Oregon Farm Bureau Federation, was guest speaker. Norris discussed Proper ty and Income Taxes in Ore gon, Federal Aid to Education, and the National Farm Program. In regards to property and in come taxes in Oregon, Norris brought out that even though they are high, some things have been gained from it, such as, better schools, highways, etc. In his remarks on Federal Aid to Education. Norris said it wasn't important who defeated the Fed eral Aid Bill, but why. Reason was. the public is not ready to turn control of education over to the government. He also slated that it was foolish to argue that every school district needs feder al aid. In closing Norris told mem bers present, Farm Bureau has a lot of respect in the stale legis- lature. He felt George Dewey executive secretary-treasurer of Oregon Farm Bureau Federation, deserved considerable credit for the prestige we have.
