Far Fin .Markets Co ancial mica i - PAGE EIGHT TIi OREGON STATESMAN, Sedan. Oregon. Tuesday Morning. April 2L 1942 v Spittle Bugs Cause Worry County Agent Gives . Instructions for - Insect Campaign Strawberry groweri should be prepared to dust for spittle bugs and to bait for strawberry root weevils as soon as the weather settles a little, states Robert E. Bieder, acting county agent Spit tle bugs have been hatching lor about three weeks now and are al ready causing considerable dam age to the young developing leaves and to the developing fruit spurs. It mar be necessary to dust more than once for spittle bugs but the lirst application should be applied as soon as possible how as gome of the worst damage results from the early feeding of these tiny spittle insects. A rotenone dust containing one half of one per cent actual ro tenone should be used in combat ting this insect. The dust should -be applied with either a hand dusted or a power machine, if available. It is important that the dust reaches the under sides of the leaves and the heart of the fruit spurs as this is the place where the spittle bugs are most numer ous and cause the most damage by their feeding. An average field will take between 50 and 70 sounds of this rotenone dust to make one effective application. Should a second dust be neces sary, it should be applied about two weeks after the first appli cation in order to catch those spit tie bugs which have hatched since the first dusting. Growers were unable, because 6f weather conditions in the 1941 season, lo apply their dust proper ly on strawberries with the result that many growers sustained loss es due to spittle bugs from 25 to even 50 and 70 per cent of the crop in some individual cases. Rieder says that the strawberry root weevils are making their ap pearance in many fields at this time and it should be remembered that there are two different groups of strawberry root weevils and not just the one found in the fields at the time of the first picking. The other group is present in the fields now and will be laying eggs in a short time. Bait for this weevil should be applied at once in order to prevent the laying of eggs which would infest the plants this summer. In most fields then it is neces sary to bait at least twice for strawberry root weevil in order to control both groups. The firs! baiting should be done now and the second baiting about the first of June. Strawberry root weevil bait can be purchased already mixed and comes under the var ious trade nrmes using various plant products as a basis, such as apple pumus, beet pulp or other plant material. If a grower desires to make his own root weevil bait, it can be made and used with as good re suits as one of the commercially prepared baits. The formula for home made bait consists of 50 pounds of bran, 5 gallons of water, ten pounds of sugar, five pounds of either calcium arsenate or so dium fluosilicate. These baits should be placed either down in the crown of the plant or close by the side of the plant and not just broadcast over the leaves as this method results in the bait drying out too rapidly and thus becomes ineffective before the weevil has a chance to eat it. The bait should be applied at the rate of about a ' tablespoonful per plant or at the rate of approximately 50 pounds per acre, Rieder states. oirawDerry root weevil are night . feeders, feeding on the leaves as weevils and on the roots In the grub stage. During the day, the weevils can be found by scratching away the top soil at the base of the plant where, they will be found resting in this shad ed and protected situation.

The slight broadening of de mand for stocks just before the close appeared to have been prompted by a drying up of sell ing. It might have been more sub stantial except for unwillingness of many market followers to take on commitments until the gove- ernment discloses its DurDoses with regard to inflation control. This was expected within the next ten days. A rise of .1 of a point in the Associated 60 stock composite maae u iwo advances in a row and the only advances, inciden tally, since April 6.

Spraying for Gooseberry Fly Urged . The gooseberry-, flies have be gun to emerge .frorA the soil and it will be necessary for growers to apply ' spray within 10 days or .the firs, application- by April 27 in order to prevent the early flies from laying eggs in the de veloping berries, announces Rob ert E. Rieder, acting county agent Gooseberry flies are controlled by thoroughly spraying with lead arsenate molasses spray made by the following formula :,Lead arse nate two -ounces, cheap molasses one quart, water to make three gallons. Growers whose plants are a little' late in blooming can time the spray application by the development of the gooseberry. The first spray should be applied when the gooseberry is abouj the size of a small pea seed. Gooseberry spray is more than a bait spray and it should be done thoroughly, reaching every part of the plant and especially the under sides of the leaves where the flies are usually found. There is much misunderstand ing about the gooseberry fly. Many growers mistake the yellow hairydung fly, which is usually common in plants this time of year before the' gooseberry fly, which is seldom seen by growers unless they will observe carefully the developing berries on a hot sunshiny day. The gooseberry fly lays its eggs under the skin of the gooseberry with its ovipositor. The gooseberry fly itself is about the size of a house fly, rather brownish in color, has no hair on Its body, has clear wings which are striped with black bands and is not as large as the bright yel low dung flies which are some times a quarter of an Inch long. Rieder .says that later ' applica tions for the control of the goose berry fly should be made at week ly intervals up to within 10 days before harvest time. - Spraying should be repeated after every heavy rain since the spray con taining molasses is easily washed off the plants!'

Partici pating in the planning meeting were: George Burke, state depart ment of forestry, Merril Ohling, county fire chairman, and W. G. Nibler, assistant county agent. ine movement to organize emergency rural fire fighting Knits in this county is part of a state wide ana even nationwide cam paign to reduce rural fire hazards to a minimum this year and to prepare to fight such fires as may be caused by enemies and sabo teurs, says Nibler who will head the project in Marion county. The OSC extension service has been assigned the job of organiz ing the campaign with the assist ance of six cooperating agencies including state and federal forest services, the grazing and Indian services, the state fire marshal and state defense council. The plan provides for or ganizing in each critical rural area a volunteer fire fighting unit designed to protect from 50 to 100 farms, depending on lo cal conditions. For each district a captain and an assistant will be appointed. These men will later attend at least two training meetings, at which cooperating agencies will instruct in latest methods of fire prevention and fire fighting in rural areas. One of the main purposes of thorough organization in advance is to eliminate fire hazards and to construct fire breaks around and in fields and around buildings. Crops, equipment, farm homes and buildings are especially valu able and difficult to replace dur ing wartime, and they are essen tial to attainment of production so badly needed by the nation, Nib ler points out Farmers will be asked to lend or list fire fighting equipment in cluding shovels, rakes, water buckets and cans, tractors, trucks, plows, spray rigs, hand spray pumps, and other material neces sary to have available immediate ly for emergency use. ne extension service has as- bigne- An rving, extension spe cialist in soils, as state leader of I the program to devote full time to rural fire protection work iter the next three months. He will be assisted by Robert Sterling, assist ant in land use planning. It is hoped to have the units organized and functioning by the middle of. May. 42 .42 Salem Man Rates C S.
