Observer, La Grande, Ore., Fri., August 8, 1958 Page 5 N. Korean Collect . EDITORS' NOTE; In the fiva years sine tha anil of the Korean War, the Northern Korean.' Com munists have almost completed their farm collectivization pro gram. But there era reports of .increasing unrest among farmers in , the . northern portion of this lugged peninsula. In the following dispatch, based an information ob tained from official Communist re ports and Southi Korean intelli gence sources, Charles Smith of Demo Chairman Gives Drive-Put-South Wing By RAYMOND LAHR United Press International WASHINGTON '.(.JJPI) Dem ' ocratic National ' Chairman Paul M. Butler is giving more comfort . to the drive-out-the-South wing of ' his party than to, the peacemakers who want to .avoid another Dixie Among Valley Farmers By County Agents Ted Sldor and Charles Gavin Two new weed .killers tested by the Oregon State- college ag ricultural experiment station look like the answer for control - of wild morning glory Oregon's .most troublesome perennial' weed pest; Both1 chemicals belong to the chloro-benznic-acid family and are now on the market. W. R. Furtick, OSC agronomist, reports up to 90 to 100 per cent morn ing glory control with either tri chloro benuoic acid (TBA) or poly chloro benzoic acid (PBA). ,' Most spraying for weed con. trol"will be -on small patches of morning glory even1 out- in the Columbia Basin wheat' country where the weed is a major prob lem, says Rex Warren, OSC farm crops specialist. One-half pint of the chemical mixed with two to. four quarts of water is recommended for spray ing one square rod an area 16Yi feet square. The cost: about 60 cents. ' A recommended mixture for spraying patches totaling one acre in area is 10 gallons of the chemical to 40 to 80 gallons of water.- TBA and; PBA now sell for about .$10 a gallpn. '; Cost of treatment is comparable to other commonly-used soil stcr ilizingmethocls. 'Big advantage of Ihe'new materials is that soil does tiot'remain sterile; as long after treatment, as it- 'does with other st'erilanls such as sodium chlor ate. ' '.. .;, : Soil sterilized with sodium ch lorate may cause loss of cropping for three to 10 years depending upon 'soil moisture;" Warren : re ports. TBA or "PBA sterilize the soil for about; one year. Grains and corn are more tolerant to the chemical residue than are other cropsi . ' ' "' ..v. , -. ,mi" Warren' says -..beans are very susceptible to injury when plant ed a , year following soil treat ment. He cautions' that TBA and PBA should be used cautiously in orchards and henry crops, since effect of the chemicals on these crops has not yet -been tested. 1 TBA gave a better and faster kill of morning -glory than did PBA in OSC tcs(s. But, Furtick .says this advantage may be off set by the fact that PBA doesn't sterilize the soil quite -as much. Ho'' suggests growers might try both materials to see which works best for them. ' Chloro benzoic acids kill when absorbed directly by the plant or through- the soil. Tests indicate, however, . that weed control is best when most of the chemical comes in contact with ;lhc soil. Treatments can be made any time under eastern Oregon condi tions. Warren says mid-summer and early all treatments look excellent. The chemical dops not kill un germinated seed. Seedlings ap pearing after thq chemical has leached from thq soil should be controlled with 2, 4-D or by cul tivation, the specialist says. o We have gas tax refund forms; ilahln here, in the office for farmers.

United Press International the only American news agency cor respondent stationed permanently in Korea writes of the Com munist progress in the farm col lectivization -program' and f the causes of the farmer Unrest. By CHARLES R. SMITH United Press International. SEOUL- (UPI) The North Korean . Communists' postwar farm collectivization program is walkout in 1960. And Democrats in parts of the South, notably Georgia and Ala bama, already this year have sharpened the tools to cut' loose from the national party in 1960 if they feel they cannot swallow the civil rights plank of the platform.

A study showed that heifers calving at 26 months of age and older had not caught up in total production al 84 months with those calving at younger ages. . Data on 93 daughters of one Holstcin sire calving at different ages in different herds gave this information: 60 daughters calving r.t 25.4 months of age compared to 33 calving at 32.3 months had seven months more production plus 369 lbs: more milk for the first lactation by the time the older calving heifers finished first lactations. One group of those calving at 24 months had produced an average of 11,800 lbs. of milk by the time the sen ior 2-year-olds had been in pro duction one monlh. Comparing 24 months and less with 30 months and over at calv ing, the production at the end of three lactations was equal, but the younger group had a gain of 10 months production in the to tal or an age of 57.5 months com pared to 67.5 months. . I,.. ... -o Union county Hereford breed :rs will hold their second annual tour this year,. September 5, The breeders hold this', tour so that commercial men and breeders can get acquainled with their breed ing programs and see their brood herds; ' ' ' Of special interest this year will be the new herd sires that are in use in the purebred herds in the county. Practically every breeder in the county purchased new herd sires this past year. The most famous and popular breeds in the United States are all rep resented here in the Union coun ty purebred herds. Of credit to the purebred men in the county is the quality of the commercial cattle which are pro duced in the county, which when consigned to special sales always command premium prices.

The program was begun on a large scale only about four years ago and now an estimated 90 to 95 per cent of all farms -in North Korea are embraced in the agri cultural cooperatives.

In a radio interview this week, he visualized it as the most "positive - and forthright" - in the history of the party.- He scoffed at the possibility that it might be softened as a gesture to the South ern 'feeling, indicated by Gov. Or val Faubus' spectacular rcnomi nation in- the Arkansas primary last week. s ' Reflecting Southern white resis tance to ; mixing races in public schools, Faubus' victory is bound to stiffen the backs of both wings of the Democratic party on the civil .rights issinV It was fresh evidence "'for-v many Southerners that no retreat on the segregation issue is almost indispensable to political survival. It' also will encourage Northern Democrats to take a firmer posi tion 'on the civil rights issue lest they become identified in the minds of Negro voters with the Southern Democratic party now symbolized by Faubus. Southern primaries have shown mixed voting trends so far this year." Before Faubus' renomina tion, Texas Democrats renomina ted - Sen: Ralph Yarborough, a moderate who voted for the civil rights bill last year. But they gave control of the parly mach inery to- the conservative faction. In the Alabama primary, Dem ocratic loyalists lost control of the party machinery to conservatives who want to keep the' door open for possible withdrawal from the national parly in 1960.

These cooperatives in 1956 embraced about 81 per cent of the- total number of farm households and about 79 per cent of the arable .land. - Now that the bulk of the (arm households has been incorporated into the cooperatives, the emphas is once again has shifted to the tightening of government econ omic and political controls. This, according- to South Kor ean sources, is - one of the main reasons for the displeasure of the farmers. These sources said Ihe main complaints of the farmers include: i. They are treated 'Tike ani mals and not allowed . enough food for-their' families."! -'- The government's 25 per cent tax take. .--.' " The , low official prices , the government pays for products. A feeling by the individual far mer that he gets-little in return for the money and goods that goes into the cooperatives. .- The restrictions on property, equipment' and livestock that ' can be ownd by ; each-household. But- one of the most."-serious complaints of the farmers, accord ing to a North Korean - recently captured by South -Korean author- ltiesc is- the increasing 'attempts by the cooperative officials 'to in doctrinate them' politically. The farmers feel they- have no individual freedom even on their .own lands, he said; and resent ment is growing.
