SO, if you're not too pessimistic from what', been .aid thu. far, here', how you go about direct seeding. Naturally, the first tep is to get tlx eed. There was a great deal of it collected last season, so that there .hould be ome for .ale. If you're interested, contact me and I'll gladly give you e list of dealer.. If you are intending to order, however, I'd suggest that you try to interest your friend, or neigh bor, in thi. project and combine to make one big order. Big orders are obviously more attractive to dealers than small ones and might topically be filled quicker. Now, what species should you order and how much seed per acre should you sow? ALSO, what are you interested In growing timber. Christmas trees, or both? If it's timber you'll probably want Douglas fir. If it's Christmas tree., you'll prob ably want a true fir. urh a. low land white (grand) fir. If you want both, try mixing them about half and half. Personally, unless you're plan ning on timber alone, I'd favor I mixture rather than true fir alone. This gives you an opportunity to prune and harvest the grand fir for premium Christmas trees and save the Douglas fir for limber. It also gives you a chance to change your mind should you want to do ao for some reason. The market for Christmas tree, looks good for some time to come, but we could reach a saturation point some day. NOW, how mi eh seed do we need?

OR J-719J Hits Valley Crop CORVAI.I.IS The Oregon Essential Oil Growers League was to I d recenllv that pappermint wilt is spreading fast in the Wil lamette Valley, but it heard plans for fighting it. The spread ha. been rapid in the past two years, C. B. Horner, Orepon Slate College plant path ologist, told the mint growers, with the biggest infestation, in Linn and Marion counties. He said the disease that deva.tated Midwest peppermint plant, ha. appeared in recent year, in scat tered area, from Salem to Eu gene. Horner described the wilt con trol research program, which he will head, starting in the spring. He said growers have put up more than $6,000 of a proposed $10,000 research fund. Additional money will come from the indus try and the college', agricultural exneriment station. According to Horner, studies will include rotation of mint with crops that are not susceptible to the disease, soil treatment with chemical, and additions to the soil of such crop residues as alf alfa, barley and grass straw. lie said preliminary work on a similar soil-borne disease indi cates some decrease in eeverily after crop residue are worked into the soil. The opening session of the league', eighth annual two-day meeting was attended by some 200 cowers. They were scheduled to hear reports Friday on weed control and fertiliier trials, the market outlook for mint and wilt research finding, in the Midwest Officers also were to be elected COLD DOWN THERI PINCKNEY.
