O. A. C. NOTES 



COMMERCIAL fertilizers are best applied to 

 land as sooh after plowing as possible, 

 reports the soils department. When it is applied 

 early the rains carry it into the soil, dissolving it 

 and making it available for the plants. Many in- 

 stances have been found where fertilizer was pur- 

 chased and left in the barn through the entire sea- 

 son. Experiments have proved that late applica- 

 tions, though better than none at all. do not 

 bring the returns that early applications do.

SEED grades and regulations of Idaho will be 

 explained at O. A. C, June 13-18, by B. F. 

 Sheehan, state seed commissioner for Idaho. The 

 Oregon seed regulations will be gone into by C. 

 W. Hawley, state dairy and food commissioner 

 and member of the college board of regents. In 

 view of the fact that considerable seed of certain 

 kinds crosses the Oregon-Idaho borders the seed 

 laws for home sales and inter-state shipments are 

 regarded as important marketing factors. These 

 two men are high authorities on these matters in 

 their respective states.

MUCH defoliation may be expected this season 

 from cherry and prune leafspot, where this 

 disease is known to occur, unless the trees are 

 sprayed now with bordeaux (4-4-50). This disease 

 is caused by cylindrosporium. The trees should 

 be sprayed now and again in a month. The dis- 

 ease attacks the leaf stems causing the leaves to 

 turn yellow and fall and also the stems of the 

 cherries causing the cherries to shrivel. This bor- 

 deaux spray will also aid in the control of brown 

 rot.

PROSPECTS for good crops of small fruits, 

 especially are excellent in the region of Dal- 

 las, Sheridan. Dilley, McMinnville, Forest Grove, 

 Newberg, Dundee and Salem," says W. S. Brown, 

 chief of horticulture at O. A. C. "The prune crop 

 evidently will be small, due to the dropping of the 

 young fruits. Apple and pear crops are of excel- 

 lent size and quality."
