? -aoSLl By Ed Gllden jZj "gjV! Csunty Etcnion A9nt I happened to stop into a local hardware store last week and a lot o people were buying brush killer chemicals. It was obvious that people were concerned about the thick, lush, green sprouts they are getting on stumps. . Others wanted to get rid of poison oak or standing scrub hardwood. Frank Strader, who owns . a ranch on the Sunshine Road east of Roseburg, has spent a lot of time trying to eliminate brush from his grazing land. He has done some slashing and also bull dozed a number of acres. Both of these methods have been very costly and not entirely successful. Research people from Oregon State College tell us that Oregon hardwoods are a "hard lot to kill. It seems that eastern hard wood almost dies from reading the label on the can of brush killer. But we grow 'em toush out here. 2,4,5-T Beit For all around use on brush, 2,4,5,-T seems to give the best con trol. The only drawback is that it costs money and on a large scale it may cost too much money. A few of our hardwood species can be killed with the cheaper 2,4-D mixture. Willow, alder, and poison oak are quite easily killed with 2,4-D. Oak, ash, and maple are best killed with a mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5,-T or straight 2,4,5-T. You can't find out what our brush will do in Douglas County by reading the book so Frank Strader and I tried some different treatments out on his place. Three Ways To Apply There're two or three common ways to apply these chemicals. Frank and I used a three gallon ul Stopped Smoking You Can, too!"

CMietui hHKt pressure spray can and tried them all. On low brush that could be easily reached, the foliage treat ment was used. We tried to wet all of the leaves by this method. Basal treatment was used on oak trees up to six inches in dia meter. Frank said I used too much of the chemical so he worked the spray can on the basal treatment It's necessary to treat all around the stem of the tree for twelve or fifteen inches above the ground line. Enough chemical should be applied so that it runs off on the ground. On larger trees (over six inch es in diameter) a continuous ax cut was made around the stem of the tree near the ground line. These cuts are about one-half inch deep and form a small cup into which the chemical is sprayed. This method uses much less chem ical and gives a better kill on larger trees. It is called the "frill method." Best results have been obtain ed by using a diesel fuel or stove oil as a carrier for the chemical. A two to four percent solution of 2,4-D or 2,4,5-T (acid eauivalent by weight) in water or oil appears to oe me oesi mixture. The foliage treatment is the only one where the water carrier would be used. In both basal and frill treatments, it is necessary to use the oil carrier. We havd a good bulletin in the county agent's office that gives the treatments and mixtures to use. You may have one by call ing or writing OR 3-8133 or Box 512, Roseburg. irTl . 1 I ,: v -Am Bw-WiAaj ium 4 Russian Farmers Go 'Western' GILLETTE, Wyo. tfl A brisk round of activities on the 173.000 acre Keeline ranch kept three Rus sian farm experts busy Saturday after a cautious but warm intro duction to the American West. With their interpreter, the dele gation arrived by plane at this northeast Wyoming town at 4:30 p.m. Friday. They were greeted by Mayor D. H. Dalbey and civic representa tives, one of whom presented leath er thong ties common to the West. Puzzled at first, the Russians went into conference on the mat ter with the interpreter, Eugene Serebrennikov, a Library of Con gress employe on loan to the State Department. WOULD TOUR RUSSIA NEW YORK OB Evangelist Billy Graham, just back from a Euro pean preaching tour, says he "would be willing to go to Russia under certain circumstances." Graham said a group of Rus sian Baptist ministers had discuss ed the possibility of a Russian cru sade with him in London. He gave no further details but added, "I probably will make an announce ment concerning this invitation next month." f s r v " m i : v -- -C-.- at v m - f i - - . ill IJL., I 4 lh rj VAT-?, ir- , ; t Jit.

(AP WIREPHOTO) Grass Used To Supplement Prisoners' Starvation Diet FORT LEWIS, Wash. Wl Grass was used to supplement the star vation diet of Americans in a North Korean prisoner of war camp, an Army major testified at the court-martial of Lt. Jefferson D. Erwin. Maj. Fred L. Speer of Marys ville, Tenn., fourth witness called by the Army to support its charges that Erwin collaborated with the enemy, said he had not been pre pared for the kind of treatment he and other prisoners received at the hands of the Reds. Speer, a Fort Bragg, N. C, artil lery officer, identified Erwin as one of the Americans who made pro-Communist speeches at a company-level Communist indoctrina tion discussion at Camp No. 5 at Pyocton. Erwin, 38-year-old Blanchard, Okla., career soldier, is being tried by a nine-man board on charges' of aiding the enemy and making disloyal statements while a prisoner of war. An Army captain testified that Communist indoctrination sessions at the squad level were turned into live killing ' gatherings when uni- nese were not present. The witness, miantry t.api. noy H. Russell, Twin Falls, Idaho, was one of three called to appear to support charged against Erwin before a nine-memDer trial Doaro. Erwin's wife, Margaret, mother of their two children, sat in the soectator section.

Mon.( Aug. 8, 1955 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 9 State Farm Prices Drop To Lowest In Nine Years CORVALLIS m Prices re ceived for farm products dropped 2 per cent in the month ended July 15, Elvera Horrell, Oregon State College extension, agricultural economist said here. This dropped farm prices to the lowest level in nine years. Prices are 3 per cent below a year ago. At the same time cost of living items remained fairly steady, showing scattered increases, to bring the parity ratio the rela tionship between prices farmers receive and prices of things they buy to 84. This is four points be low a year ago and 16 points below the "100" set by Congress as a fair ratio. Horrell said the month's drop came from lower values placed on hogs, potatoes, apples, cattle, wheat and watermelon. Crop prcies and livestock prices have slipped about equally, with hog and sheep raisers taking the biggest drop in livestock and feed, grain, potatoes, and oil-bearing crops bearing the brunt of the drop on grain. Most notable drops were 50 per cent on potatoes and 23 per cent in oats since July 1954. Meanwhile, the U. S. Department of Agriculture in Portland said the change to cool showery weather last week was a hindrance to the seed and grain harvest, vegetables, and specialty crops in Western Oregon. It did, however, help fill out spring grain. r. A Water Hutor Look at th sFeaturif 0tnpUIlr Mtaaut !, dun, mkIta hMtlsff , BbIbIt Kftdltntiba anils. Lw rUa . ROSEBURG 114 N. Rose SUTHERLIN W.
