After they have cleaned up one

received this year came from
release sites in Linn County
that were established in 1960,
and from
Coos County,
established in 1963. One can see
it does take a considerable
length of time for the insect to
build up sufficiently to be
moved. The cinnabar larva
release will in no way relieve
the responsibility of chemical
weed control by owners who
hope to control tansy on their
cultivatable acreage, but will
be an attempt to reduce the
infestation on the areas that
cannot be chem ically con­
trolled.
Plans are now being made for
an additional release of cin­
nabar moth larva next year. If
you have land you feel is
suitable after reading about the
types of sites selected, contact
the Extension office. We will be
happy to take your name and
inspect your site.

No sodium cyanide is
m anufactured in Oregon,
therefore it is not commercially
available. It has been noted,
however, that some sodium
cyanide is left over from the
days before it was banned. This
means it could be used on
p rivate
lands
(in ­
discriminately) by persons not
trained in its use.
The regulations proposed by
the Oregon D epartm ent of
Agricultire would ban the use of
the chemical by anyone other
than licensed applicators. It
would also restrict its use to
only those areas judged by the
department to have severe
livestock
losses
from
predators.
Before applicators will be
authorized to use sodium
cyanide in predator control
they must pass a written exam
designed to measure th eir
knowledge of the regulations,
the potential dangers of the
chemical and its proper use.
No date has been set on the
hearing to consider adoption of
the regulations.
