hampering their use.
The result, Hill said, Is an eco
nomic loss to dairy farmers who
must send milk by boats to mar
kets and to loggers who use the
lakes to transport logs, and it also
spoils the recreation on the lakes.
Hill and News-Review Editor
Charles V. Stanton are meeting to
day at Reedsport wiih representa
tives of the affected area to try
to work out i solution.
But it's a tough problem, Hill
said.
About three years ago the mat
ter was put in the hands of re
searchers at Oregon , State Col
lege. They tried to find something
that would get rid of the weed.
And they did. But the substance
that will kill the weed will also
kill other vegetation. Other solu
tions were economically unfeas
ible. California Also Troubled
California also had trouble with
the weed, which grows in shallow
water at the edges of lakes.
In an attempt to solve
the problem, the Californians im
ported the nutria, a South Amer
ican brand of muskrat which eats
the duckweed. The animals ate
the weed all right and multiplied.
. The cure became worse than the
malady, Hill said, and now Cali
fornia authorities are also trying
to get rid of the nutria.
Judge Hill, who studied the sub
ject while a member of the state
legislature and later while on the
Gtate Game Commission, ex
plained the weed did not become a
problem in Douglas County until
about 8 or 10 years ago.
It was then loggers began to
use the lakes to transport their
logs to markets. They dragged
logs over weeds, broke them off
and spread the pieces wherever
they went.
Duckweed, a jointed plant that
germinates at each joint, spread
rapidly.
Danger of the weed spreading to
other lakes also exists, according
to Judge Hill. Fishermen, for ex
ample, taking boats to the two af
fected lakes may inadvertently
bring back bits of duckweed when
they return. Then, if they use the
boats at other lakes, the weed
y.ny get other starts.
-The problem is believed to exist
at other lakes, but Judge Hill
has no definite information on this.
Affects Lakes Only
The weed apparently affects
lakes only. There is no evidence
of it bothering running water and
it has not been found in the Ump
qua or Smith Rivers to any con
sequence, Judge Hill said.
There is also an American va
riety of the weed, but it's not as
bothersome as the Brazilian type.
One of the solutions offered was
chopping the weed of some three
or four feet below the surface. But
as yet, no means have been pro
vided to pick the weed out of the
water.
Judge Hill said the situation has
become "desperate" and added
that means of weed control will
be examined at Wednesday's meet
ing at Reedsport.
