Mice. hrew, and bird, are hun
gry for tree eed, .0 that it 1.
necessary to poison the eeds be
fore .owing. But, having treated
the weds with endrin, for instance,
you mieht expect at least fair re
sults. Alter all. planting stock will
probably be just a. scarce next
year, and until we have greater
nurserv facilities in this .tate.
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?

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
