Formufa Given
For Control Of
Rot on Peaches
Peach growers are warned to
be on the lookout for attacks of
brown rot owing to the continued
rains and moist conditions pre
vailing for the past several weeks.
Brown rot has been reported
found in a number of peach orch
ards and may be expected to
cause considerable damage, ac
cording to J. Roland Parker,
county agricultural agent, as
peaches reach maturity unless
control measures arc taken in
time.
Re-commendation for brown lot
control on peaches is the use of
wettablc sulphur six pounds to
100 gallons of water which may
be applied at any time brown rot
appears while the peaches are
developing. The spray should he
applied at least five weeks before
harvest and followed with a
spray 10 days later, with a third
application 10 days after the sec
ond spray if brown rot is still
present. Dusting sulphur may also
be used for the control of brown
rot on a similar spray schedule.
Sulphur for either dusting or
wettable sulphur sprays should be
fine enough to pass through a
3J5 mesh screen or even finer.
Many of the failures to control
brown rot with wettable sulphur
are traceable to poor grades of
wettable sulphur, poor or inade
quate spray or dusting equipment
which makes it impossible to do a
thorough job of spraying or dust
ing, application of wettablc sul
phur or sulphur dust after the
brown lot has caused serious
damage, and failure to apply sul
phur in one form or Ihe other
often enough to give control.
Oregon Invaded
A relatively new poison plant
nas invaded many parts of Ore
gon recently anil constitutes a'clis
"t i net menace lo those who may
not recognize II, says Dr. Helen
Gilkey, curator of the herbarium
at Oregon Stale college.
This plant is known by various
names such as poison hemlock,
wild parsley, or even wild pars
nip, though it is not the familiar
large-leaved wild parsnip. The
scientific name is Coniun macula
turn, l-'irsl (specimens of this plant
were reported in Oregon as re

in parts of eastern Oregon as
well.
' The plant is just as poisonous
as the dangerous water hemlock,
and constitutes even more of a
menace because its hollow stem
might be used by children for
making whistles, says Dr. Gilkey.
It makes a showy growth and,
when growing in its favorite peat
or swamp soil, will attain heights
of five or six feet or even more.
It is found on drier ground but
does not grow so large there.
Two ways of Identifying this
plant are from characteristic pur
ple motllings on the stem, and by
the fact that when parts of the
plant are taken indoors, they give
off a distinctive mouse-like odor.
Because of its rather attractive
appearance, with fine-cut leaves,
white flower heads, and seed pods
that resemble dill sejed, this plant
has even been found growing in
shady places in private gardens.
Dr. Gilkey reports that the
plant is poisonous to stock as well
as humans and may cause trouble
in hay. Il is a biennial, producing
foliage' the first year and going to
seed the next.

More than 100 communities are

Combat Carelessness
"Citizens are rapidly becoming
aroused to the vital need for
checking the man-caused fires
that annually ravage our state's
greatest scenic and economic as
set," said Nelson S. Rogers, state
forester.
"When, it is considered that
more than (MX) forest fires in Ore

smokers' carelessness, every
thinking citizen must realize his
or her individual responsibility in
helping to slop this neerdless
wasle. Oregon forests arc Oregon
payrolls anil a most important
factor in the national defense
program."
Vacationists Warned
Mr. Rogers warns everyone
planning outings over the Fourth
of July holiday that, despite the
recent rains, fire hazards exist in
many parts of the state and the
forest fire safety rules must he
strictly observed.
In addition to the official pins
and membership cards, Keep Ore

DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
- We engage i,n a questionable
practice and comfort ourselves
by saying: "That looks all
right to me." Yet if we look
deeper, we would see that it
was not all right. Watch a mo
tion picture of a vase being
broken and its pieces scattered.
Then run the film backward
and see it become integrated
rather than shattered as piece
by piece the vase is restored to
its original beauty. Or see a
picture of a soldier grasping a
foe by the throat and forcing
him to his knees, and then
prostrating him on the ground.
Reverse that film and the sol-elie.-r
seems to be reaching
down and assisting the enemy
to his feet. When one docs not
have the King in his life the
picture is perfectly satisfactory
it its first showing. He goes
about smashing things and
people, and it seems all right
because he has never recog
nized the Kingdom of God.
With Christ as his guide and
king, our eyes are able to dis
tinguish right from wrong. We
can see a great deal more.with
our eyes if we have an intel
ligence back ot them. "Open
Thou mine eyes, that I may
see wondrous things In thy
lanes," is a prayer all may
pray. Amen.
So sacred is bread considered
by the Arabs of Morocco that they
never cut it with a knife.
