jl))f^|[(MWilirilliP IV1 1 ]fl lllf f Agriculturally Speaking By KUSSEJLL KING Extension Chairman Some of you may have read about SHIITAKE, the Japanese Forest Mushroom (Lentinus edodes). This is the major edible mushroom in Asia. In 1978, the Japanese industry employed almost 200,000 people and generated $1.1 billion in retail sales. Most production was by small farmers. The mushrooms are grown on small diameter hardwood logs and are produced over a 3-5 year period. It is possible for 100 pounds of logs to produce 10-30 pounds of fresh mushrooms. There appears to be considerable potential for production of these mushrooms. A leader in production technology in the United States is Toby Karris. He plans to move to Asheville shortly where he will manage the Forest Mushroom Research Project. A word of caution should be mentioned concerning poisonous mushrooms. Do not eat any mushrom unless you know they are not of the poisonous type. When eaten, some poisonous mushrooms cause a slow agonizing death. Contrary to folklore, there are no general rules or ways to separate edible from poisonous mushrooms. If you need more information concerning mushrooms, please contact me at the Warren County Agricultural Extension Service.

DAILY HIT Will: "Your wife asked yo for S70 yesterday... $100 th day before... and S50 toda; What does she do with a that money?" BUI: "I don't know. I nev< give her any." Sign-Up Period Extended Here, ASCS Head Says The sign-up period for 1964 cotton, feed grain, rice and wheat programs was recently extended through March 16, and Warren County ASCS Executive Director Thomas E. Watson this week urged farmers to avoid a lastminute rush in signing up. Watson said the summer fallow rules were also changed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture so that the requirements would be the same as they were in 1983 and in previous programs. Prior to this action, Watson said, acreage designated for the 1984 programs could not have been land intended for summer fallow in the current year. Other provisions of the 1984 programs will remain unchanged, he said. according 10 a statement by Agriculture Secretary John R. Block, these changes will clear away some of the obstacles which made it difficult for farmers to make sound decisions about the programs. Also, many farmers have not been able to finalize crop operating plans including financing and lease arrangements. Since producers must sign a binding contract in the 1984 acreage reduction programs, with liquidated damages for failure to comply, they are reluctant to sign up until their operating plans are more complete." "Both USDA and private sector analysts say that when most farmers compare these programs with their own operating plans, they will find participation is to their advantage," Block said. "This extension will give producers the time needed to weigh the benefits of participation against the risks of no price protection which they would otherwise face."
