Blossom-blight
i Experts Tell Orcliartlisls,
( Do Not Use Bordeaux
I Spray After Petal-fall
i In brown rot I (the; frequent
cause of fruit tree blossom blight)
the infection starts at some point
on the flower, sometimes on the
green calyx, sometimes on the
petals,! but quite often on the tip
of the pistil or stigma Where the
pollen I is received. 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.

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'.

and plant diseases, Frank Mc
Kennon, chief of the plant in

rious plant diseases and insect
pests, such as the Japanese bee

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.

Shaking Heads and
Human Liberties
It's a fanny thing. 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.
Rut from where 1 sit. America's
don pretty well with th Um mt
personal choice and iadiridual lib
erty. I guess that's just the way N
Americans ar mads.

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
