4 THURSDAY, MAR 22, 1956 THE EAGLE, VERNONIA. ORB. ■ — 1 ■ ——— BY DON COIN WALROD County Extension Agent AROUND THE FARM Gardening time will soon be here although the weather we have had recently sure wouldn’t lead one to think so. For some of the crops that are normally planted early, it will mean late planting or not planting them at all. Most folks plant peas about the time of Washington’s birth day. but there is still time provid- ed the weather gives us any break at all. Now is a pretty good time to give a little thought to this matter of gardening. Each year Dr. Frazier and others of the vegetable marketing department at Oregon State college, put out a list of recommended varieties of vegetables for the state. Some times certain varieties are not readily available and then they will need to be ordered from seed catalogs. For the most part, however, local seedsmen can sup ply varieties suited to the area. The lists of vegetables suggested for 1956 are now available, and folks interested can stop at our office in the courthouse for them or write in. Sometimes there are varieties that you may like to use other than those suggested. Usually the suggested list has a number of varieties. The lists are based upon the use that is to be made of the crop and its adap tion to the climate and soils of our area. Elmer Loyd, Deer Island, was recently visiting with us about his garden, and he stated that the garden he had last year was the best that he has ever had. Just what contributed to this good gar den might be hard to determine now, but Elmer’s work in it and DON'T LET FIRE RUIN YOU!

NOT 3 MONTHS Two decades ago, it took an average of 3 months’ wages to pay the hospital bills resulting from a case of pneumonia. Today, a case of pneumonia is cured at home—with drugs that cost an average of only 5 hours’ wages. That’s just one of the many facts which prove that . . . Today's Prescription is the Biggest Bargain In History VERNONIA DRUG CO. the use of a complete fertilizer soil treatment with aldrin pro bably made much of the differ ence. An application of 10-20-20 con taining pound aldrjn per 100 pounds provided the needed plant food and controlled such things as flea beetle, cabbage root mag got, wire worm, carrot rust fly and numerous other insects. We don't recall just how much Elmer said he applied, but about 400 pound per acre would be normal application of 10-20-20. Two pounds of aldrin is the usual ap plication of this material in gar dens, etc., but our strawberry growers and others use about 5 pounds. Not everyone can have water for their garden, but Elmer did In addition, planting were mad • so that the crop kept coming in all summer long. For instance, Elmer favors planting 3 or 4 dif ferent kinds of corn so that he has corn over a long period of time. Other folks use the same variety and make successive plantings. Both methods work. Most everyone knows that fer tilizers are hard on equipment, and even with the best of care it is difficult to keep spreaders free of rust. But how would you like to have a spreader whose hopper was corrosion and rust proof. Ap parently this sort of thing is no longer in the future, but an actual reality. One equipment manu facturer is advertising hoppers that are made of plastic and fiber glass and are not supposed to rust or rapidly deteriorate such as normally occurs with such equipment. Strawberry growers will soon be working fields, cultivating, hoeing and getting ready to plant. To provide information that has a bearing on the outlook for theii1 crop, we quote from the February 27 issue of “Oregon Farm and Mark t Outlook” as follows: “The nations 1956 strawberry crop still may be as large as the near record 1955 tonnage, despite the freeze damage in the North west. Larger acreages in other states easily could make up the difference. Last fall, California’s strawberry growers reported plans to increase their acreage 21 per cent. Big increases were also being planned in several of the southern states. “On top of this, the carryover of frozen berries seems likely to increase again this year. Stocks the 1st of February were 28 per cent larger than a year ago and 30 per c°nt above average. This indicates that production has been expanding faster than consump tion at recent prices. It means that prices are likely to be lower in another year or two. This prospect needs to be considered when deciding about new plant ings this spring."

It tells people how much time and money they can save by flying. Advertising like this is one big reason why air transportation has just about tripled in the past ten years! And it’s a big reason why there are more airplanes to build, more work for people like me, more money going into the pockets of everyone in the West. And more people flying helps keep the fares down, too. Maybe you’ve noticed that airline f^res have stayed at about their 1939 level. Fact is, in coach fares, they’re lower.
