For Oregon, this was three percentage points better than July 1, 1962, and about the same as average for that date from 1957 to 1961. Pasture conditions elsewhere in the West were spotty, with good growth evident from Montana and Wyoming to the Pacific Coast. However, eastern Colorado suf fered drought and pasture condi tions in that area were rated at tl) per cent of normal while Arizona and New Mexico record ed very little measurable rain fall.

Time to Trade Pasture Best In year ana production per cow was off a shade, the first time in 10! years that output per cow re versed its upward trend, she said. However, production per cow in Oregon is the second high est on record. Last year, Oregon milk produc ers sold 84 per cent of their out put to plants and dealers as whole milk. Such sales took only 68 per cent of the total 10 years ago, Mrs. Horrell pointed out. Excess Nitrogen Causes Hollow Heart In Spuds TULELAKE Ken Baghott. Tulelake farm adviser, reports that farmers may experience ex cess hollow heart in their pota toes this year unless they closely restrict the use of excess nitro gen after the tubers start to set. Baghott stated that the condi tion is associated with uneven growing conditions in the field and can be a very serious prob lem. The use of excess or heavy amounts of nitrogen following a frost may result in hollow heart and rough potatoes. This is par ticularly true according to Bag hott if growing conditions are such as to produce a rapid re covery from the frost. The best way to assure a mini mum amount of hollow heart, fol lowing a frost is to apply 10 pounds or less of nitrogen on al ternate rows the next two irri gations following the freeze. Hca- LOANS PRUDENTIAL Way 50 year amortization plan with Condition ation The percentage marketed this way is increasing nationally. Dai ry observers say this is largely the result of less milk used on farms and the shift from salcs of farm-separated cream to wholel milk. About half of Oregon's milk sales are for manufacturing with the rest sold as fluid milk. Less than 10 per cent is used on the (arm as compared with 15 per cent in 1952. A combination of less milk at lower prices puslied cash receipts down last year. Oregon dairymen received million from milk and cream sales in 1962, four per cent less than in 1961 and the smallest since 1945. These figures represent income from sales be fore production expenses are sub tracted, she explained. vy applications of nitrogen cause the plant to produce very rapid leat growth and also a rapid tu ber growth. Usually the condi tion in this area will be more prevalent on the sandy soils and in fields that had good plant growth prior to the frost. Hollow heart can also develop in fields not injured by frost when the grower attempts to increase the rate of growth by excess nitro gen applications after six weeks of plant emergence. The excess nitrogen produces the uneven growing which causes the crack ing or discoloration in the center of the tuber and in many in stances rough potatoes. Baghott says that overfertili zation, late in the growing sea son can be as dangerous as lack of sufficient nutrients early in the growing season. Overfertiliza tion may produce the top growth which gives the field a healthy vigorous appearance but its what I is under the ground that counts. Rough, soft, low specific potatoes won t make a grower any money. He suggests that growers con sider the dates of July 15 to 20 as the maximum cutoff date for fertilizing their potatoes unless they have a particular problem where additional nitrogen is need ed. Cottonwood i 4-H Summer LAKEVIEW A very success ful session of 4-H summer camp at Cottonwood Meadows was re- DOited by staff members and counselors and thirty 4-H club members at the close of the pro gram last week.

Agency Says Farm Shows 3 Per Cent WASHINGTON (UPD-The Ag riculture Department said re cently net farm income for the first half of 13 was almost three per cent below that of the c o r responding period of V.K2. The department estimated the aggregate net farm income in January - June was running at annual rate of $12'3 billion. The rate for the same period in 1962 as S12.7 billion. Net farm in come for all of 1!K3 was $12.6 billion. In a review of the farm in come situation, the department said the average income of U.S. farmers during the first half of 1963 was about as high as a year earlier. The agency pointed out, however, that the decline in tlie! number of farms over the past year was at about the same rate as the decline in income. The gross farm income before any expenses are paid in the first Judge Reports Verdict On Tillamook Milk Case TILLAMOOK (UPI) - Clatsop! County Circuit Judge Avery Combs has handed down a lengthy decision in the three-way Tillamook milk marketing dispute.. The dispute involved the Tilla mook County Creamery Associa tion and Tillamook Fluid Milk1 Shippers Association as defend ants and the Tillamook Cheese and Dairy Association (TCDA) as aintiff. At issue was ownership of dis tribution and processing facilities, control of shipments of about 100, 000 pounds of milk daily and re sponsibility for paying costs of the operation. Combs ruled the TCDA is auton omous and can conduct Us grade A fluid milk business without in terference from the other two as sociations. The court also found that the! creamery association is not a holding company and may not dictate the policies and manage ment of TCDA except where it is clearly spelled out in contracts; that the creamery association is entitled to sell the Grade A milk produced by memliers of the TCDA under a marketing agree ment of 19S0, but that it must make an accounting of the pro ceeds from milk sales and that the marketing agreement does not give the creamery association the right to loan funds belonging to TCDA, although it has tlie right to negotiate such loans with cus tomers subject to approval of the TCDA directors. The pulp and paper industry has invested more than $7 billion in new plants, research and equip ment since 1947. Ford Trucks Last Longer en the FARM $m your Farm Truck Hudquirtan BALSIGER MOTOR CO.

Cash receipts from farm marketings in the first half of this year were S15 billion, about $200 mil lion more than in the same pe riod ot 1962. Government payments to farm ers this year probably will be higher than the $1.7 billion total of 1962, the department said. Food grain and wheat stabiliza tion program payments this year are expected to total slightly above the $1.1 billion paid last year. The department said production costs through June were above those of a year earlier, more than offsetting the gain in gross farm income. Total cost outlays for the farm business were estimated at Combs ruled the creamery as sociation owns the equipment and granted an injunction to prevent TCDA from breaching terms of the 1950 agreement. k "I m I 1 a, w nil nL "Frankly, I don't believe It!"
