Portland Man Is Dropped by Bar Misusing of Client's Funds Prompts Court Ruling; 2 Judges Dissent The state supreme court yes terday disbarred John H. McGow an, Portland attorney, from ever practicing law In the state of Ore gon again on a decision by Jus tice Bailey that McGowan had used clients' funds for his own purposes. Justices Bean and Belt dissented, asserting the penalty too severe and that a suspension ot one year was sufficient. One of the charges, made by the State Bar association, was that McGowan was employed by Charles W. Oaten to collect $23.50 from Mrs. Myrtle Smith, and that McGowan kept the money. "It is our conclusion," the opin ion said, "that the charges of un professional conduct filed against John H.

The court also denied petitions for rehearing in state land board ts. Moore, state vs. Dugger, and Wlckwire vs. King.

Count' Agent Says Warmth Draws eeviU Earlier, -Lists Control Hints Warning that pea weevils do their damage at the time the pea vines bloom, along with sugges tion for control measures, is given by Robert K. Reider, assistant county agent and county horticul turist. ." . Control found best at the state college , experiment station is ap plication of three-fourths of one per cent rotenone dust at weekly intervals on garden peas. For commercial patches, both on canning and Austrian field peas where power dusters are used, the same dust needs to be properly ap plied but once or twice tor the proper control. Weevils Month Early Pea weevils this season have emerged fully a month ahead of the regular period due to the warm weather. The weevils do not lay their eggs until after the peas bloom, but dusting should be started as soon as the first blooms show for , the weevils will start their laying at that time. On commercial acreages, the rate of application for the roten one dust is 25 to 30 pounds per acre. Rieder says Austrian peas are two weeks ahead of last year on blooming, and that blooms are ap pearing in a few home garden plots.
