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.

SEOUL- (UPI) The North

farm collectivization program is
walkout in 1960.
And Democrats in parts of the
South, notably Georgia and Ala

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.

Breed according to size grow
heifers for early calving. 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.

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 Democrats will approve n
strong racial rights plank at the
convention when they nominate
their 1960 presidential candidate.
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.

zing the farms on an experimen
tal basis. v i
' The formation of the coopera
tives began with the establish
ment of hard political cores, fol
lowed by the cooperatlvization of
the farms in the most' important
agricultural areas.- -The
number of agricultural co
operatives grew from 806 in 1953
Wo 15,825 at the end of 1956. 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.
Britain Will
Buy More Fruit
In Dollar Area
WASHINGTON (UPI) Great

lion dollars spent' for canned fruit
last year.. .

Holmes Concerned
Over Safety Of
Amusement Rides
SALEM (UPI) Concern over
the lack of adequate safety de-
vices and inspections for carnival
amusement rides has been voiced
by Gov.' Robert D. Holmes in a
letter to the State Fair Board
urging inspections by the Indus
trial Accident Commission for all
fair rides.
The Governor noted that one
youth was killed and his compan
ion critically i n j u r c d recently
when a ride device broke and
hurled them into a crowd in Mid
dletown. N.Y.

that all of the rides and amuse
ment devices provided for chil
dren at the State Fair be as safe
as good equipment and careful in
spection can make- them," the
Governor wrote Mrs. Elmer Berg,
chairman of the Fair Board:
He asked her to check with the
Accident Commission.
The Fair opens here Aug. 28.
