Star Thistle Caused
Trouble in Valley ;
Forage Crops
Approximately 6500 samples of
seea zrom Oregon farms ' have
been analyzed-la the past lour
months at the federal-state test
In laboratory at Oregon State
college, according to figures com
piled by G. R. Hyslop, head of
the farm crops department About
12.000 reports on purity, germ!
nation and related Information
nave been sent out concerning
we samples.
An increase In seeds of such
weeds as morning glory and wild
radish, and of bulblets t of wild
garlic was reported this year. Any
Increase of these, and particu
larly, of wild garlic is serious
as the latter is listed as a hox
ious weed In the southern states
as well as In Oregon, says HvsIod
A dangerous weed has moved
Into the Willamette valley from
southern Oregon this year, with
the appearance of the star this
tle. While this is an annual weed,
it is dangerous to forage crops as
its seed , heads produce long,
sharp spines that are objection
able in hay.
Average germination of cover
crop seed was generally lower
than in either 1939 or 1940, the
report shows. Only about one
third of the vetch samples show
ed above 90 per cent germina
tion and hard seed. Among rea
sons believed responsible for this
lower germination are a drying
out of top soil resulting in shriv
eled seed, some thresher Injury,
and insect pests.
Crowding larger than normal
volume through the threshing
equipment, as well as faulty ad
justment, is. probably responsible
for the increased thresher injury,
Hyslop believes.
Presence of honeydew on a
high percentage of rye grass seed
indicated a considerable number
of aphids, which sap the vitality
of the plant and thus directly or
indirectly affect germination of
the seed.
The dusting Job for pea weevil
control did not appear to be as
effective as in 1940, he added.
Some additional injury from
vetch weevils and some plants
killed or injured prematurely by
Insect larvae working oh the roots
were also noted.

Here Is what the U. S. Department o Agriculture means when It
urges farmers to .help produce "stockpiles of food for use after the
war." the upper picture shows barrels of dried milk, just as good a
year from now as today. The lower picture shows a warehouse filled
with huge drums of cheese, even better with aging. These farm
products, plus condensed milk, dried milk, cured pork, and canned
meat and vegetables, constitute the stockpiles of defense food which,
says Secretary Claude E. Wickard, will be needed by hungry Europe
and "will exert the maximum influence at the peace conference table."

Walnuts Ready
For Shipment
LEBANON The first carload
of walnuts to be shipped from the
local plant of the North Pacific
Nutgrowers association is now
ready.
As with the filberts, a two cent
bonus was offered for early deliv
eries so that the nuts can reach
the eastern market in time for the
first hbniday trade.
Though running rather smaller
than usual the nut meats are of
excellent quality. One new prob
lem has presented itself. The
shells do not bleach and clean as
well as usual. This seems to be
general in the valley though some
groves do not seem to be affected.
Officials of the association are be
gining studies to determine the
cause of this condition.
Most of the nuts to be dried in
the plant have been brought in.
Some growers have their own dry
ers and they are now bringing in
their dried nuts for shipment
