The infected tissue j turns brown.! From the point of infection the I browning gradually spreads backwards over the flower, down the pedicel and may progress back intq the spur often killing! it. j When a- cluster of blossoms is blighted and the spur killed the blossoms and leaves at the tip of the rptir dry, shrivel, and remain on the spur, sometimes for a year or more. During wet weather throughout the following winter and spring, small; velvety, gray spore tufts about the size of a large pin head appear on the blighted blossom parts and spurs. These spores are a source of in fection the next spring.: Three ways in 'Which: the dis ease may be carried i over wintc r are the spores left on the blighteJ blossom clusters,: rotted . fruit which have dried, up and clint to the tree all winter, and over wintering in rotten fruits which fall to the ground and are left lying there. j Colters! Practices j Remote and destroy ill rotted ai mummified fruit.? Remove i destroy all blighted spurs and i ssom clusters. f Prune to aid ti le in ventilation. Plow the Or el .a rd before blossom time and cultivate at weekly intervals in order to prevent the formation of the spore-bearing cups or mummies which might be on or in the ground. ! ' j Sprays should include; the fol lowing: 1, spray with 3-3-50 Bor aeaux wnen tne blossoms are showing color just before open ing. 2, spray with the same mix ture (when blight is serious on cherries) as soon as most of the petals have fallen, but on peaches do not use Bordeaux after blo4? soming. Change to w citable sul fur at petal fall, i, use: wettable sulfur or sulfur dust as soon as the shucks fall. Neither Bordeaux nor regular lime sulphur are abso lutely safe to use after the fruit sets and the leaves are out. 4, the application of wettable sulphur or sulphur dust may be recommended at monthly intervals during the summer where the disease regu larly has been serious. 5, as the fruit approaches maturity it be comes more and more susceptible to attack by the brown rot fun gus. A protective covering of wettable sulphur spray or sulphur dust is essential at this time. Ap ply two to four weeks before har vest. Sulphur sprays or dusts ap plied just before harvest will do much to protect the fruit from brown rot attack, immediately following picking. If the cultural practices rec ommended are followed careful- y, brown rot may be controlled in many well ventilated locations by carrying out the spray rconv mendations under one and five. However, if the orchard is quite seriously affected it may be nec essary to include the second and third sprays together with at east one of the summer sprays n order to get good control. Prune, cherry and peach or chards on moist lands and crowd ed locations may require the carrying out of the full schedule of recommendations. Two warnings should be re peated: Do NOT use Bordeaux on peaches after blossoming, and do not use sulphur in any form on apricots. r "''iii-. "3 X.

'11 New Tester Added In Marion County Peter Mitchell from Connecticut has been named Marion county's new DHIA tester. He replaces Roy Kern who has been made the in- seminator for the county's newly organized breeders' association. One more tester is needed if he can be found, said members of the county agent's office this week. During February, 36 herds were on test with 817 cows listed. There are 25 herds on the waiting list. Those tested averaged 571 pounds of milk, 27.8 pounds of butterfat, with the average includ ing the 109 dry cows. Out of those tested 171 averaged over 40 pounds of butterfat. Forty cows were culled out because of low produc tion. Feed Shortage Very Serious Says Peterson fThere just are not enough reed stuffs to go arouricl and Oregon will reduce its poultry, turkey and dairy production this year," said E.i L. Peterson, state director of agriculture upon his return from Washington, D. C. where he con ferred with officials of the U. S. department of agriculture and with other state agricultural of ficial. MI was told that we would scrape the bottom of the grain barrel this year," he added. Peterson went on to say, "Our situation here in Oregon and the Pacific coast, under WFO 144 was onie of being discriminated against. I had been dlseuming our feed sit uation with Mr. Anderson for week?, and strong protects were lodged against order 144. The amendment to this order permit ting feed manufacturers to use 85 per cent of the amount of grain each month that they used In the coiresponding month of 1945 is a positive correction of the unfair situation with respect to hmita tion in the use of grain. 'Equally serious is the supply of prptein meals. There is no hope, as I see the situation, of Oregon or i any other slate getting all it needs, for like grain, there isn't enough to go around. I am hope ful we can get 3000 tons per month, although it is not at all certain." Since returning home, Peterson has been in contact with represen ta lives of Oregon feed dealers to discuss and plan a program for the most equitable distribution of what feed supplies are available. vWith the reduction In both the amount and quality of our feed stuffs it is inevitable that a re duction in the production of poul try, tufkeys and dairy products will take place. In fact, some of it is already underway," Peterson declared, adding "all this depart- --,,yr'. LA.1. Vt" .... r.

The quarantine is designed to protect against se rious plant diseases and insect pests, such as the Japanese bee tle, oriental fruit moth, Dutch elm disease, white fringe beetle and others. Tansey Weed Control Voted In Bethel Area BETHEL, March 20-fipccial)- Marion county's first tansy rag Wort control area was voted Mon day night by the Bethel commun ity. Arnold Spranger was made chairman, of the control area com mittee. The district as set up covers a square area starting at the inter section of the Fruilland-Pratum- Macleay road, extending to Ma cleay, continuing on the Rickey road to the Rickey school house and following the stub road from that place about 'i mile to the section line and then going north to the Fruit kind road from where it again continues to the Pratum Macleay road. Spi anger's committee will pa.s the petitions which will litter be presented to the county court. W. G. Nibler, county agent, was present at the meeting ttr assist in the plans. These call for seed control for the first three years with eradication carried on so that no tansy ragwort weeks will be found in the fourth year. In spectors will report on removal of all seed pods during the first thie years and in the fourth year, Ji spectors will report on weeds themselves in the area.

Now that the war's over, there's a tot of head-shaking1 in our town. People saying: "What's the younger gen eration coming' to?" "How can wo end these strikes?" "The country's going to the dogs!" "There ought to be a law!" etc But when the younger genera tion was walloping the Axis "super men" and labor was doing the most colossal Job la history you ever heard a murmur. But now that we're back to our traditional life of personal liberty, just see how the heads begin to shake again. I guess therell always be head-. shtkers folks who feel "theru eught to be a law" who belie that the best form of regulation is suppression, whether it's applied to beer or baseball.

Copyright, 1946, UmOedSiota WHAT TO PLANT IN MARCII Set out new plants of aspara gus and rhubarb. Plant a few plants of cabbage and cauliflow er. Be sure to dust for aphids and cabbage worms. Carrots can be planted late in March. Germina tion is slow. A few radish seeds sown with the carrots will help mark the row for cultivation. Chanteney or Nantes are good varieties. Plants of head lettuce can be set out usually around the last of the month. Two dozen plants areVnough for the aver age family. Sow a short row of leaf lettuce. Set onions in rows 24 inches 'apart, and the sets 2 to 3 Inches apart in the row and one-half to' one inch deep. Plant peas at once. Plant a few feet of turnips and spinach each week to have continuous supply. CHEVIOT RAMS SOLD Henry Daveport of Silverton sold two Cheviot rams this week to Oren Nelson and R. J. Johnson both of the Oregon State college livestock division. The college is trying out the new breed, which is i English in origin, in cross breeding in hopes f finding a more satisfactory type for the Willamette valley and coastal Oregon. , CORN YIELD CONTEST SET Marion county's first corn yield contest is being planned this week by the Central Howell Far mers Union which also sponsors the annual corn show.
