Sf-f ATTEND SUMMER SCHOOL Klamath County's dele gation of 45 boys and girls attended the annual 4-H Club Summer School at Oregon State University campus, Cor vallis. They lived in dormitories, receiving instruction in Meat Needs More Care In Handling "Pick up some meal and we' conk out." This is a suggestion heard oft- len during ine warm summer weather, and a good one. But, Dr. SI. L. Houston, super visor of the meat inspection serv ice of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, rays it is wise to add one reminder "Don't lot it stay in ear sc long that it starts to heat." Houston explained that the sum mer weather that lures the popu lation out-of-doors for cooking and into picnic grounds also warms meats to temperatures that make them more subject to bacteria action, resulting in spoilage and possible food poisoning. , The sun beating dow n on an auto will raise the eemperaturc inside so rapidly that meat will quickly become warm enough for the bacteria to go into action. For this reason all meat should he gotten home as quickly as possible and put into the refrig erator before it warms. Once the meat has started to heat it should be cooked immediately and thor oughly. Summertime also means that poultry needs extra attention. Not only does home butchered poul try need to be thoroughly washed in clean water, but it should be chilled as rapidly as possible. It is well to remember during tlie summer' that canned ham and picnics labeled "keep under refrigeration" must be kept un der refrigeration or bacteria may become active in them. Dr. Hous ton says that "fully cooked" does not mean meat has tvru p i cessed to the -point that it has been sterilized, but only that it lias been heated to at least 148 degrees. The only canned meat that can be on the shelf without refrigera tion is that cooked under pres sure. Sumgir picnics usually mean sandwiches and frequently they have meat fillings, which often arc combined with a spread or mavonnaise. This tasty mixture. when it warms, is as attractive to bacteria as to those consuming the sandwiches and extra care should be taken to keep the sand wiches cool. Also tliey should not be held over any length of time after becoming warm. Dr. Houston's final warning is equally imKrtant during all sea sons of the year "Always cook all pork ade miatclv to euard against, trichi nosis. Every year or so there is an outbreak of it. Eggs Need Special Care Warm weather can cause eggs to lose f;avor and appeal very fast if they are not kept under proper conditions. Eggs need the same care as milk and should be kept under refrigeration at all times. Egg inspectors for the Oregon Department of Agriculture are re minding retailers it is as import ant to keep eggs refrigerated in the store room, where they have their reserve supplies, as it is in the show case. This reminder is one that is es pecially important that retailers heed in the warm summer months. But. Inspector Ernie Mikesell is quick to point out that eggs should be kept under these conditions the year around, noting that modern heating systems have made it nec essary to have eggs under refrig eration throughout the year. For women gardeners who pre fer skirts, the easy-action wrap around with big pockets to hold seeds and small garden tools is pond news. Aik about daily "BuiinMi Card" SPOT ADS tu 4-ein 1 Department Lists Value Of Farms $747 Billion WASHINGTON' (UPH-The Ag riculture Department today esti mated the total value of farm real estate in the late fall of 1962 at a record $141 billion with the average farm valued at about J43.0OO or $126 per acre. In a review of farm real es tate market developments, the de ment said farm real estate values. probably moved higher in they early part of l!Ki3. It said the current land market contains lit tle or no evidence of a weakening of farm real estate market values. During the 12 months ended Nov. 1, 1962, farmland value rose more than 4 per cent. This in crease came cn top of a similar hike the previous year. The total value of farmland as of Nov. 1, 1962, was $11 billion greater than two years earlier. Coincident with the increase in farmland values. the size of the average farm in creased. Two years ago the aver age farm was valued at about $36,000 or $115 per acre. The characteristics of the farm real estate market were only moderately changed from a year ago, the department said. The number of farm sales, farms on the market, people looking for farmland, and distress sales were nearly the same as a year earlier. Even though the market average prices were at record high, the supply of farmland remained re! lively tight. The supply of mort gage money was more ample than m the previous year. ine aepariment sad the up-i trend in tarm real estate market values that began in the early lino s has continued for 3 years with only scattered exceptions. In the decade March, 192, to March. 1962, farmland values increased about 40 per cent.

County Agent Photo time, purchases of land for farm enlargement rose more than 75 per cent. The department said upward pressure on rural land values continues to be exerted by de mands for land for a variety of non-agricultural uses including private recreation, rural residen ces, timber and pulp production, and the expansion of urban areas as well as accompanying trans portation facilities. Milk Total Shows Drop WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Agriculture Department said to day 1963 milk production may not: exceed, and may be below, Uie 12.9 billion pounds of 1962. The agency indicated that in event milk production remains stable or falls below that of last year, government purchases of dairy products may be as much as one-fourth less than in 1962. Milk production during Janu ary-May was 500 million pounds lower than m the same period a year ago. The department said the decline resulted chiefly from a decrease in cows and a lower-than-usual rate of gain in produc tion per cow, because of cool dry weather in many areas, retarded pastures and cut hay supplies. Possibly another factor in cut ting milk production is the fact. that plans for a mandatory cut back of dairy output seems to have evaporated. A year ago, when legislative proposals for mandatory control of dairy pro duction were under consideration. producers stepped up milk outputj per cow in order to establish a big base on which to peg future supply. Government purchases of dairv milk equivalent were about 72 per cent of purchases in the same period of 1962. The January-May purchases amounted to 4.7 billion pounds of milk equivalent, com pared to 6.5 billion pounds in the same period of 1962. The pur chases represented decreases of 18 per cent in non-fat dry milk, 17 per cent in butter, and 78 per cent in cheese. Dust is a fire hazard.

Spud Check Fee Slash Is Proposed Some of the fees charged for potato inspections would be re duced by an amendment to the inspection regulation being pro posed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Affected by the reduction would be ins)ectioii of fresh, diversion and processing potatoes. The new fees proposed by the department would be 2'a cents cwl. tor Iresli potatoes: I't cents. cwt. for diversion potatoes: and l-1! cents for platform inspection of processing potatoes for deter mination of grade at established stations. The fees on fresh and diversion potatoes would be re duced one-quarter of a cent ant1, the fee on the processing pota toes one-half a cent. Other fees on the schedule are unchanged. So that growers may have the benefit of the reduced fees for this year's crop the department has declared an emergency and is dispensing with hearings. How ever, letters will be accepted un til July 12 from persons wishing to express their views and submit data on the proposed reduction, which is slated to go into effect July 15. HARMLESS Although most shrews have poi son in their glands, it is so weak that their bite is only slightly poi sonous, so shrews arc harmless creatures from man's point of view. Music To By DICK KLEINER Newspaper Enterprise Assn, CHICAGO (NEA) Have you heard the one about the two cows, standing in a department store window with earphones around their beautiful brown heads? Actually, this is no joke. It's the start of a very so rious scientific experiment. And it may have tremendous implica tions lor anybody who sells phon ograph records to cows. In the last few years, scientific dairy farmers have discovered that cows are milkier if there is music piped into their barns.

Neil to John Dear Canadian Thistle Not Only Pest In County By WAl.T JENDKZt'JEWSKI The drive for control ot Canadi an thistle currently underway in Klamath County, because this weed has been spreading, tends to obscure the faci that it is only one of the weeds on the county's noxious weed list. Other weeds on the list in clude white top, morning glory, Russian knapweed, leafy spurge, water hemlock, puncture vine, blue flowering lettuce. St. .Inhns wort. toadflax, spiney cocklebur, dodder and bull thistle. Only limited infestations some of these are found. of No dodder has been seen in tlie conn- ty tor years. Inlestations ot white top and knapweed have been re duced. Many inlestations have been eradicated. Tlie County Weed Control Dis trict Law requires control of all weeds on the noxious list. j Lcafv spurge, whitetop and morning glory are persistent per ennials which are hard to kill out. Infestations of considerable signilicance still exist. There are still significant in festations of water hemlock. Wa ter hemlock is poisonous and is, responsible for livestock losses each vear. The fleshy bulhousi roots of water hemlock are par ticularly poisonous. Bull thistle is quite widespread. Bull thistle, however, is very much less persistent than Cana-1 dian thistle, so is not as great a problem or as great a threat to Firefighting Calls Noted The Agriculture Department said forest firefighting forces throughout the country were called out an average of 13 times every hour during 1962. The department's Forest Serv ice said a total of llo.345 lores! fires burned 4.078,894 acres dur ing 19(2. In 1961, there were 98,- 517 fires which burned 3,036,219 acres. The department said al most 90 per cent of the forest! fires in 1962 were man-caused as compared to 84 per cent in 1961 The department said the gen eral trend in forest fires has been downward, despite the increase in 1962. The agency said that in 1942 there were 208,218 forest fires, of which 96 per cent were reported as man-caused. They burned 31 854,128 acres. Ten years later the number of fires h&A dropped to 188,277, of which 95 per cent were man-caused. The acreage burned was 14,187,325.

Bull thistle is readily killed by thorough wetting with 2.4-1) sprays. A definition of weed control ac cepts prevention of seed forma tion as satis'actory. But real prog ress requires eradication of in festations of deep rooted peren nials. Eradication requires use of hcrbicidal sprays, soil sterilants or clean cultivation. Clean cult'vation is a very ef fective control method when it is diligently practical to prevent j top growth. Without leaf growth perennials cannot replenish root reserves and gradually die out. Youth Range Camp Dated For August Teen-age boys from Oregon's melropolitan areas as well as from Eastern Oregon will have an opportunity to study under the open sky and get better ac qainted w ith the great outdoors at this year's Oregon Youth Range Lamp. Each Eastern Oregon county, and Multnomah, Marion, Benton and Linn counties may send four boys, 13-17 years of age, to the Aug. 5 to 10 camp at the Lake Creek Guard Station in Logan Valley. Dillard H. Gales, OSU exten sion range management special ist, is program chairman for the camp. The following topics will be studied: what range management is and what is will do for the livestock industry; relationship of range management to other land uses; identification ot range plants; life on the Malheur bird refuge; what range improvement has done for range operation; how land management affects streams: relationship be tween livestock and big game on the range; management of live stock on the range: improvement of the public range; range ca reers: range judging; and plant identification. Scholarships covering camp! costs of each boy w ill be provided by local organizations. The camp is sponsored annually by the Pa cific Northwest Section of the American Society of Range Man agement in cooperation with the Oregon State University agricul tural extension service. music the cows liked best.

Alter all, if it was established that rows preferred one kind of music to another, and thus gave more milk, it might mean a great deal to the nation's economy, with a little imagina tion, you can see what a cow's musical taste could do to Wall Street, especially the bulls. Anyhow, WAIT figured the best way to do this would lie to take four cows and give them a taste of different music. And, naturally, you'd want to conduct such a vi-i tal experiment where everybody could see it. Where else but a department store window?

PAGE HERALD AND Pesticide List Altered Oregon's list of pesticides high ly toxic to man and restricted to use for commercial purposes was revised by an order issued re cently by tlie Oregon Department ot Agriculture. The revised list becomes ef fective July 11. Pesticides on this list are not registered for sale or distribution for home or gar den use. The order has removed Dime- thoate from the restricted list and placed Zinophos on the restricted list. Those pesticides now on the re stricted list arc: TfiPP. Para-! thion, Methyl Parathion, EPN, OMPA (Schradan), Systox (Dem- eton), Phosdrin, Thimet iPhor- atcl, DiSyston, Endrin of 2.5 per cent and above, Zinophos (0,0- diclhyl 0-2 pyrazinyl phosphoro- tluoate), Elhion, Phosphamidon Methyl Dcmeton (Meta Systoxl Delnav, DiNitro - O - Cresol (DNOC), DiNitro - O - Sec Butyl Phenol (DNOSBP), and Endothal of 20 per cent and above (1,(1110 pounds) and had identical milk production records. And so, for four weeks, the two cows lived their lives where everybody could see them. They ale tlie same foods, were each milked twice a day by the same loving hands, lived absolutely par-j allot lives. Except for one thing. Cow A heard nice, soft music. Cow B head rock 'n' roil. A trained acowntant kept the figures on how much milk A and B produced. The figures wore iwsted for everyone to see, and the results wcro conclusive. Cow A the soft music cow produced 619 pounds of milk in tlie final two weeks. Cow B the rock V roll cow produced 510 pounds of milk. That's 79 pounds of milk fewer for poor, jittery cow B. And, al though you might expect it, B's milk wasn't even churned. , When news of this gels around, you can bet that throughout the dairy belt the farmers will be smashing their rock 'n' roll rec ords.

Farmers and ranchers arc urged to be on the lookout for young grasshoppers, since most of the more destructive types of grass hoppers lay eggs in small areas known as egg beds. By locating the egg beds and treating them now as the young grasshoppers emerge, very eftective and eco nomical control can be obtained. However, Moscr cautioned, if the grasshoppers are allowed to mi grate from the egg beds, control becomes more complex and costly. Several chemicals can be used to control grasshoppers, Two mate rials that have proven very ef fective are aldrin and dieldrion. However, Moscr said these ma terials should only be Aiscd on land not 3cing pastured and hayed, as excess residues have been found on forages. Such ma terials as sevin, malathion. di- brom, or diazinon should be used on hay and pasture lands. alP SI DUST 4 OP ROAD OIL 100 Ft. x 16 Ft.
