Celery Damage
From Late Blight
Timely application of sprays
and dusts will prevent most of the
damage caused by late blight of
celery, according to Dr. E. K.
Vaughan, plant pathologist for
the Oregon State College exper
iment station.
Consistently good results have
been obtained in tests with zirum,
tribasic copper sulfate and Ortho
cide, 400, Dr. Vaushan reports in
the current issue of Oregon Veg
etable Digest, quarterly publica
tion issued by the OSC experi
ment station.
Fungicides to control celery
blight should be applied during
dry summer weather at 7 to 10
day intervals. Cost of such appli
cations has proved small compar
ed with the increased value of the
celery crop. Crops harvested early
can be sprayed at 14-day inter
vals with success.
Celery blight is caused by
fungus which is present in the
soils of all major celery growing
areas of Oregon, according to Dr.
Vaughan. It lives from one season
to the next in decaying celery
stocks ant) leaves and produces
spores whhich are carried by wind
and insects to new celery
plants.
The July issue of Oregon Veg
etable Digest also includes infor
mation on new vegetable varieties
and a ltudy of cucumber mosaic
virus.

YOUR GROCERY BILL
So often we say to ourselves
and the world; "If we didnt
hava to buy grub, we could soon
be rich". Other things cost
money too, such as clothes and
rent, but food is the biggest
item in our spending.
It always looks like just a lit
tle hike in our wages would
take care of things, but the min
ute our wages rise, and we be
gin to breathe easier, prices
take another leap, and we are
no better off than before.
And we wonder why. Yet, the
reasons are obvious. Every hike
in wages has its effect on prices.
Oh, of course, two bits an hour
increase in loggers' wages dont
immediately raise the price ol
sugar. .No, it's the chain reac
tion. It's the cumulative effect of
all wages, direct and indirect
that Raises prices all along the
line. And wages alone are ccr
tainly not the answer.
Out of every five dollar bill
spent for food, one dollar sues
for HIDDEN TAXES alone. Last
year, Americans pungled up
eleven billion bucks as the HID
DEN TAXES on their grocer
ies only. Can you estimate how
much hidden taxes you pay in
other things you buy?
No body knows how much
money he pays out In taxes of
all kinds. He knows how much
is deducted from his pay check,
and how much he either adds
or gets hark in refunds. Hut
those invisible gouges can fool
anybody.
Why in Heaven's name does
the (iuvment need so much
money? Well, for one thing, one
buck nut of six of your vngc
goes to a Ciuvment worker. The
total income from wages and
salaries in the U.S. is about
$186 billion a year. Of that huge
sum, $32 billion goes to (iuv
ment workers?); more than
one sixth.
In less than two years (Iuv
ment payrolls have increased
50 per cent! During the same
time, private payrolls have in
creased only 26 per cent.
We will say no more about it,
as the situation speaks loud
enough for itself. We only ask
that you listen, and think.

jnr ways in which cucumber mo
saic virus is spread. In a test last
year, picked rows had about 21
percent more diseased plants than
those left unpicked.
This makes it extremely Im
portant, says the scientist, to keep
to a minimum the amount of di
sease brought to the plants be
fco' picking. One way to accom
plish this is to apply insecticides
to control the insects which help
spread the early infection. Pick
ers who have been working in
diseased areas should wash their
hands thoroughly before moving
into healthy plant areas.
Clean Grain Bins
To Avoid Insects
Grain bins on farms sooner or
later become infested with grain
destroying insects. New grain stor
ed in old bins without first being
thoroughly cleaned and sprayed
to destroy insect pests is poor,
states J. Roland Parker, county
extension agent. Insect-infested
grain loses in market value and
feeding value.
Where grain bins are open at
the top, fumigation is almost im
possible and a thorough cleaning
and spraying of the walls and floor
with a recommended insecticide
is about the best way to help keep
down infestations.
DDT and methnxychlor are rec
ommended insecticides for spray
ing grain bins and storage areas.
Both come in wettable powder
forms and in 25 oer cent emulsion
concentrates. Emulsion concen
trates are recommended over the
powdered forms unless the farm
operator has power sprayers with
good agitatiors to keep the pow
ders in suspension.
Emulsion forms of DDT and
melhoxychlor. 25 per cent, should
be used at the rate of one gallon
of emulsion to 10 gallons of 'vatcr.
This gives a 2'i per cent spray
for effective control. Two gallons
per 1000 square feet of floor and
wall space will be found adequate
to give a thorough coverage and
sufficient solution to seep into the
cracks.

But some folks are misinform
ed, and think it cant be used
for any other purpose. That it
will "burn out" pullets, and
make them unfit for lavers. A
sad mistake, Mates, a sad mis
take These high energy feeds have
been used all over the country
from day old to the end of a
year's production, with excel
lent results. The only possible
kirk might be the higher cost,
compared to ordinary egg mash.
In spite of this higher cost,
many people believe buds will
lay enough better and require
enough less feed that it is equal
ly as economical as ordinary

DDT Spray Method
For Borer Explained
Good control of the peach and
prune root borer has been obtain
ed by entomologists at the Oregon
State College Experiment Station
with DDT sprays. The spray is
applied at low pressure, about 60
to 80, to the lower scaffold limbs
and trunk, using 8 pounds of
50 percent wettable DDT powder
to 100 gallons of water.
The spray should be applied
thoroughly and in amounts suffi
cient to allow it to puddle around
the base of the tree. Trees 4 to 6
inches in diameter require about
1 to 2 pints of spray solution per
tree.
Two applications are generally
made, the first shortly after the
moths begin emergence and the
second spray 30 days later. The
first application should be made
around the middle of July and the
second application about the mid
dle of August.
The DDT spray control method
is less expensive as to cost of
materials in treating trees, states
J. Koland Parker, county ex
tension agent, and worthy of trial
by local peach and prune tree
owners. Correct timing of the
spray and thorough application to
cover the lower scaffold limbs and
trunk are essential for effective
control.
5 Billion Board
Feet Shipped
PORTLAND, iSpecial) Ship

feet from Douglas fir sawmills dur
ing the first six monlhs of the year,
according to Harris E. Smith, sec
retary of West Coast Lumbermen's
Association.
While below last year, Smith
said, this believed to be a record
for any other similar period. Pro
duction for the first half of the
year was 5,095.371,000 board feet.
Shipments totaled 5,092,065,000
board feet and orders kept close
pace at 5,016,401,000 board feet.
Weekly averages of lumber cut
picked up during June to 200,251,000
feet, a gain over May when time
was lost due to the 17-day strike.
The near-record lumber cut so far
this year is running 104 7 per cent
of the last five year average, Smith
stated.
The weekly average of West
Coast Lumber production in May
was 200,251,000 b.f. or 107.0 per
cent of the 1947-1951 average. Or

MONDAY, JULY 21, 1952
between HI-LO and other feeds
is that the high energy and low
fiber ingredients cost a bit
more. It is higher also in vita
min fortification to sustain fast
growth longer, and this very
fact is why it makes a good
egg mash.
Try HI-LO on any kind of
poultry, any age and compare
costs and performance. You
may decide to make it your all
purpose feed. Certainly it wont
hurt single bird. In fact, it
has been used extensively this
year to fatten turkey fryers,
with outstanding rcsulls.

Filibuster Privilege Bans
All Probability Of Passing
Effective Civil Rights Bill
Bv JAMES HARLOW
WASHINGTON UP No matter what kind of civil
rights plank they produce at Chicago there's no more reason
to believe the Democrats can pass civil rights laws in the
next four years, if they win, then they would in the past four.
And in the past four they
couldn't, in spite of the fight and
promises made at the 1948 con
vention. In fact, it would be hard
er now for the Northern Demo
crats to get through civil rights
legislation than it was in 1948.
Why? Because the Southern
Democrats using a special Sen
ate rule which the general public
may not understand very well
were able to slaughter the Tru
manites' efforts at civil rights leg
islation since 1948. They can use
the same rule and tactics agaiu.
This is an explanation:
No law can be passed unless both
House and Senate approve. Both
houses transact their business ac
cording to rules of their own. The
rules in the two houses are not
the same.
In the House no one can fili
buster (talk without limit until the
other side gives up and a measure
is killed) because the House has
rules limiting debate. That is why
the House, with a majority of
Northern Democrats and Republi
cans, teaming up against Southern
Democrats, has several times
passed civil rights bills, only to
see them die in the Senate.
Sanate Has Advantage
Before examining what happens
in the Senate, a little arithmetic
is of the utnst importance. There
are 96 senators. They pass laws
by a majority of those, present
and voting, provided a quorum is
present. A quorum is 49 or the 96
senators. '
But on some very vital, or very
controversial things, more than
just a majority vote is needed. On
them the vote must be two-thirds.
But, and that's where the catch
comes in, there are two kinds of
two-thirds.
A simple two-thirds of those pre
sent and voting when there's a
quorum of at least 49 is a little
more difficult to get than a ma
jority vote. But two-thirds of all
95 senators that's 64, called a con
stitutional two-thirds is so hard
to get that it's almost impossible.
And this is where you begin to
move into the civil rights problem.
If the Northern Democrats make
a motion to bring up a civil rights
bill, the Southern Democrats can
start a filibuster. That will kill the
whole business unless the filibuster
can be broken.
Filibuster Ltthal Waapon
It can't be broken unless that
constitutional' two-thirds 64 of
the 96 senators vote for closure
(which means a vote to stop a
filibuster).
But if the filibuster against the
motion to bring up the bill is bro
ken, then as soon as the bill itself
is brought up, the Southerners can
start another filibuster all over
again, this time against the bill.
And that filibuster can't be brok
en except by a constitutional two
thirds vote. Why can't a filibuster

be broken except by a constitutional-
two-thirds vote? It'i a rule
of the Senate, voted for by the
senators.
But, since they made the rule,
can't they just vote to change the
rule so that a filibuster could be
broken by, say, a simple majority
or a simple two - thirds vote'
Sounds easy.
Rut Chang Tough Job
But trying to change a Senate
rule can be toughest of all. For
this reason: Any time the North
ern Democrats suggest changing
the rule, the Southern Democrats
can filibuster endlessly. Why? Be
cause there's no Senate rule pro
viding for a means to break a fili
buster against a proposal to
change the rules.
Actually, in 1949 the Senate
changed its rules a bit, making it
tougher than before to break a fili
buster. In that year the Truman
ites made an effort to carry out
some of their civil rights promises
of 1948. The Southerners began to
filibuster. At that time a filibuster
on a bill could be broken by a
two-thirds vote. There was no clo
ture rule against a filibuster on a
motion to bring up a bill.
Before the smoke settled on the
fight, the Trumanites were clob
bered. The Southerners yielded a
bit and won a lot. They agreed
that in the future there could be
cloture both on a bill and on a
motion to bring up : bill, pro
vided cloture on both was by a
constitutional two-thirds vote, or
64 of 96.
But no change was made about
an attempt to change the rules. In
other words, the Northern Demo
crats' only real hope of getting
through civil rights legislation
would be a rule change reducing
the required cloture vote on mo
tions and bills. But the Southerner!
can filibuster, without worry about
cloture, on any attempt to change
the rule at all.
New OSC Bulletin Tells
Control For Root Borer
A new method of controlling the
western peach and prune root bor
er in rocky soils has been develop
ed by the Oregon State College
experiment station.
Summer spraying with DDT or
parathion has been successful as
a control measure for the borer,
according to Earl Brown, OSC re
search assistant in entomology
and author of station bulletin 513,
a new publication on the subject.
Both chemicals gave excellent con
trol, but DDT is cheaper and less
dangerous to handle.
The old standard treatment of
paradicholorbenzene crystals is not
effective on rocky soils. Brown re
ported. Such soils do not hold the
gas long enough to kill the borers.
The new method, using DDT or
parathion spray, is effective on
trees less than four years old. An
alternative method, using ethylene
or propylene dichloride also is ef
fective but can't be used on young
trees.
A full report of control experi
ments is contained in the new bul
letin. Copies are available at OSC
or county extension offices.
BEETLE FIGHTS TREE PEST
RIVERSIDE, Calif. I The
Vedalia beetle is one insect that
is wanted almost the world over.
Recently the University of Cali
fornia Citrus Experiment Station
here airmailed AO of the live beet
les to the Samoan Islands to fight
a citrus tree pest known as rot-
tony cushion scale. After the
: beetles, one-eight of an inch
! long, were introduced into citrus
; groves here in 1888 the eottony
scale was completely controlled,
reports Curtis P. Clausen, chair
; man of the Division of Biological
Contnl.
"There has been no trouble since
1888, except in recent years fol-
' lowing application of DDT and oth
er new organic insec'icides for
control of other pests," reported
Clausen. "Use of these insecticides
i destroys the beetles and thus per-
mits the scale to increase to de
structive levels."
Scientists here said that since
' 1890 the Vedalia beet'e has been
distributed to 65 different coun
tries and geographical areas of the
world to fight the destructive
I scale.

Soil, Water Conservation,
Use Told In OSC Bulletin
An analysis of Oregon's soil and
water conservation and use has
been made by a committee from
the Oregon State College agricul
tural staff. Findings and recom
mendations have been published
in a 75-page bulletin which is
available at the Douglas County
extension office or by writing di
rect to the College.
The committee, headed by J. R.
Beck, assistant director of the ex
tension service, details its report
under two broad phases: first,
they discuss soil and water con
servation during the past century
of Oregon agricultural develop
ment; second, they propose a soil
and water conservation and use
program for Oregon.
In the latter, the state is di
vided into four districts coastal,
southern Oregon. Willamette Val
ley and eastern Oregon.
Discussed are such items as
sand dunes, stream bank erosion,
drainage, soil surveys, fertilizer
needs, rotations, farm forestry,
alkali, cloud seeding, hill pastur
es, irrigation and watershed cov
er. The committee says man-caused
erosion is present in each of the
state's 36 counties. It is most no
ticeable, however, on non-irrigated
eastern Oregon cropland,
on hill croplands of western Ore
gon and on land disturbed by log
ging operations throughout the
state. Known . improved prac
tices for minimizing erosion need
to be adapted to 1,800,000 acres,
the committee believes.
Potential Irrigation of 700,000
additional acres in the state is
largely dependent on three fac
