Paint Up with Color From Flower Garden; Ag' Agent Tells How Poultry industry Release Forms Men Meet Here By MERLE R.SAMSON Bannock Agricultural Agent CERTAINLY FEW FLOWERS that can be grown as easily are as large and colorful as zinnias. When you consider that all these gorgeous big blooms in many colors started from a scrawny, small-blossomed Mexican Texan and Chilean native, it makes the present giant zinnias all the more remark-able. that breeders have achieved five lo six and even seven-inch wide blooms, they have turned toproducinganever wider color range. This shows up in the mixtures available to the gardener. A new one for 1970 is Fireworks.

This features not only giant, double flowers but those of the cactus type with ruffled and quilled petals. These fluffy blooms, in colors ranging from bright orange, brilliant scarlet, coral pink, yellow, while to many difficult lo describe, are borne on plants growing only 15 inches tall. In this same medium-tall class are the Burpeeana GiantZinnlas which also are of cactus type and have a color range that include many soft shades like salmon and violet THE NEXT STEP UPWARD in height, to two feet, brings us to the Zenith zinnias which have flowers to six inches in diameter.

Several breeders have produced tetaploid zinnias which are not only extremely vigorous but also highly resistant to disease, even mildew, that common pest of zinnias in late summer. Possibly the best known tetra- ploid mixture is State Fair.

Three feet tall, it has immense dahlia-type blossoms with broad petals. It also has a wide color range. So, for eye-slopping color and breath-taking big blooms, you can depend on zinnias.

Bargaining plans for the preseason potato contracts began immediately after the new year under the direction of Clarence A. Parr, state bargaining chairman, and Area Bargaining Coordinators Melvin West, Paul; Robert Sky les, Nampa, and Richard Kerbs, Blackfoot.

Active negotiations with the processors began in February. Countless hours have been spentinbargain- ing by dedicated, unemotional bargaining committee members and many meetings have been held since that time in an effort to reach anagreement with processors on a pre-season potato contract. No other contract with Idaho processors has yet been approved although bargaining with processors continues. Growers have not been anxious to sign pre-season potato contracts so far Uiis year because planting of the potato crop is about two weeks behind due to the cold, we! weather.

Beef Council Tells Value One of the recommendations emanating from the recent White House conference on hunger was that Ihe public receive more information about nutrition in the foods we eat. Basic farm products tend to be rich in nutrition while substitutes may not be. Commenting on this, JohnMc- Boyle, chairman of the Idaho Beef Council, Indicated he Is in accord with the premise that the public become more nutrition conscious.

"People should ask themselves if new foods luve a nutritional value equal to the food they substitute for, for example soybean products being marketed as substitutes for beef. I welcome the opportunity to detail the merits of perhaps our greatest nutritional beef. "Everyone of every age needs the vilal, life-giving food nutrients found in beef. One of Ihe main reasons why beef does so much for everyone is that its protein content Is not only high, but the protein Itself is complete, and therefore substantially more valuable than other types. To be complete, a protein must contain the 21 essential amlno acids, of which 10 cannol be manufactured In our bodies." "Complete protein," continued McBoyle, "is the greatest REG.
