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

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.

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.

half of 1963 was slightly above the
record rate of 1962 because of
higher cash receipts from mar

of government payments to farm

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

Food grain and wheat stabiliza

are expected to total slightly

those of a year earlier, more than
offsetting the gain in gross farm
