Some have en tl mated that ehloratos could be supplied farmers at around ceutH a pound if produced in this manner, In discussing weed killing chem icals, authoiH of a recent bulletin on perennial weed control in Ore rod point out that sodium chlor ate mimes the nearest to bolus an ideal wned killing chemical among thOHij now In gcmcm! use. Other forms of chlorate are on the mar !el but are not so effectlvo aa so dium chlorate. , Must Control Roots Trider most ronditlons, the chlorates will positively kill the weeds if enough of the chemical is applied. At first It was thought, that the plants were killed' only as a rosult of the absorption of the material by the leaves, lor the past eight, years or moro It has boon known that most of the kill lug was due to contact of the chlorate with the roots of the plant. Since this Is the case, any condition which prevents contact with thu roots will procunt succorts of tho method, Places where it does not work satisfactorily Include steep slopes whuro water washes the chemical down tlto hill, gravelly sub-soils where tho 'chemical Is soon wash oil away, overflow and swampy lo cations, peat soils or stack bot toms with excesslvo organic mat ter, areas with a fluctuating high water table, unci hoIIb VTlh such luird surfaces that they resist peuotratlon. Numerous findings that make the usu ofjchlorntorf In .weed con rol moro effective ure listed In w new uutieun. as weir as pre cautions necessary to safe use of chlorates.

FERTILIZER VALUE OF BORON SHIN Alfalfa Crops in Western Oregon Benefited, Beet Canker Controlled. COKVALUS, Aug. 22. AP Do ron, the diHtlnguiHhiug element in hone acid and borax, nromiHea to become kb valual)lo a fertilizer element for curtain crops hi west ern Uiegon aa sulfur nas proved to he In eaatern Oregon, ub the re sult of dlHcoveries just announced by J jr. W. L. Powers, head of tho Hulls department In the Oregon ex periment station. Hoth hoioii and aulfur are ao- called "minor" elements, so far as plant nutrition is concerned, as they don't belong to the "big three" group of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous. when Oregon soil scientists dis covered buck in 11)12 thut nlfulia in southern and eastern Oregon needed sulfur It meant an average of a ton more to the acre on 10u 000 acres of alfulfa in Oregon alone at trifling cost. Now lr. Powers has Just demonstrated that boroir. applied in small amounts per acre, wm cure or prevent yellow top of a I ra I in In western Oregon which on many soils makes the difference between a good third crop and none worth cutting. Canker Controlled Dr. Powers has also just an nounced that boron .applications have given practically complete control of "breakdown" or "canker" in table beets, a trouble that has become a setlous menace to the boet canning industry in the state. As little as 30 pounds per acre ap plied at thu time of tho first Irri gation this season gave 96 per cent control of the canker. No oth er treatments did uuy good. This Is the first known use of boron for this purppse, Possible use of boron for yellow lop of alfulfa hud been reported by an eastern Investigator, leading I Jr. Powers to attempt it here. On greenhouse alfalfa plants he clear ed up the trouble in a few days In May, 1937. Alfalfa Yield Aided Field trials were then under taken which have since given startling results. On the Magg HroB. furm in Washington county boron applied lit months ago gave a thin! cutting this year twice as tall and four times the weight of untreated adjacent parts of the field. An application made after the second cutting on the Howard Helton farm just south of New Hia on July 23 of this year gave such quick results that It is easily seen from the road the treated portions being durk green and thrifty. The trouble shows up more in dry seasons and is attributed bv some merely to dry weather. Mr. Powers estimates that on soils where yellow top Is prevalent growers may easily add a ton of hay to the iicro in yield at a cost not to exceed SI an acre. Karlv spring application on a field baais will give protection at least two seasons and porhaps longer, the time limit .not yet being deter mined. OREGON FOX, MINK WORTH HALF MILLION COKVALUS.

(AP) Wheat and corn growers will re ceive Increased subsidies next year, for compliance with-, federal acre- ago payments. Wheat farm ern will be offered from 26 to !(0 cents a bushel com pared with 12 cents this year for reducing their 1939 planting by 31 per cent to keep within the 55,000, 000 total'wheat acreage allotted un der the agricultural department's program. Corn growers will be offered 13 to 16 cents a bushel, compared with It) cents this year. The 1939 rice subsidy was placed between 20 and 25 cents a hundred pounds against 12.5 cents this year. , Next year's subsidies for wheat and corn will Include so-called "price adjustment" payments from the $212,000,000 appropriated at the last session of congress. In cluding this amount, officials Bald they expected funds totaling $712, 000,000 to be available for the 1939 programs. Only growers who keep within acreage allotments can obtuin sub sidies.

PEACHTW1G BLIGHT CONTROL ADVISED Bordeaux Mixture Spraying Suggested to Eradicate Harmful Disease. Peach twig blight, a fungus dis ease of peaches and apricots, causes, serious dnmuge to peach trees and often results In a short crop or loss of the coming season's crop unless adequate control meas ures are taken by growers. The fungus disease damages pud kills the previous season's growth and in extremo instances may intlrely ruin preach and apricot trees. The fruit and leaves are not Immune from attack in (he spring, states County Agent J. Roland Parker. As the leaves and fruit are devel oping, the disease shows up as small red-like Boots on the fruit and when numerous, enough a scabby condition of the fruit re sults. On the leaves small red spots appear, later turning brown and dropping out leaving - small holes In the leaf. Severe attacks of the fungUB at times will cause the leaves to fall. The disease is spread by wind borne spores and with tho first fall rains attack tbe . now i growth. Hoavy dews or fog also croates favorable conditions for the spread of the disease. It attacks the new growth, blights tho buds, and cankers the twigs destroying the fruiting areas of the trees for the coming season. Spraying Advised Effective control measures re quires an application of a protec tive coating ot 4-1-60 Bordoaux mixture to tuu untiro treo and es pecially the new growth, to the very smallest bud and twig before the early fall rains. In some sec tions and during some seasons this means applying the Bordeaux mix ture before the leaves fall In ordor to get ahead of the early rains, heavy dews or fogs which start tho fungus growth anew. Once rains start the disease gets a foothold rapidly and spraying after tbe fungus enters the bark or bud of tho new growth little value is secured from spraying. The fungus in tho infected areas is not killed and the only value of spraying is In protecting unin fected areas. High' quality Bordeaux -. sprays applied, thoroughly to all parts of the tree, especially'', the ' new growth-, are essential If satisfac tory control is to he secured. Re moval of the dead twigs and limbs from the trees will help to get rid of the holdover ' spots for tho dis ease. Hoinc-iundc nordoaux sprays have given exocllont results and are to be preferred to many com mercial compounds ami mixtures. Honest, I never did a better sell in' talk in my life ! . Tippin' my cap, I says, "Mrs. Pettibone, you've been a good customer, and I want to let you in on a bargain." "A bargain?" Her eyes got bright, so I saw I had the right approach. "Now our Golden Shell Oil is only 25 a quart" "Two quarts for 49 ?" she cuts in. This slowed me up, but I gulped and said, "No, two quarts for SO and you can't buy a finer oil at any price ! It's made specially for stop-and-go driv ing. You see, when you stop Directions tor making home-made Bordeaux sprays are available at the county agent's office In bulle tin form on request.
