Canby, veter inarian with the state department of agriculture, cautions buyers to be certain that all feeder pigs they purchase are healthy because of the prevalence of cholera in some sections of the state. Dr. Be I ton reported outbreaks of cholera In McMinnville, St. Hel ens. Gresham and The Dalles. During the past few days hog cholera struck in two areas of Lincoln county, causing the loss of 17 head of swine. Dr. G. G. Grove, county veterinarian re ported.

Swine raisers are being cau tioned to be on the lookout for pigs which go off feed and de velop a fever. If such animals are observed, the herd should be treated at once, Belton states, as cholera acts very rapidly and can wipe out a whole herd within less than one week. Frank A.

Leth says that a new type cul ture has been made available for Polk county through the bacteri ology department at the state college. This form merely needs to be diluted with water before being applied to the seed. It is not necessary, says Leth, to leave any part of it in the container, as was formerly the case. Growers have expressed considerable satisfac tion over this new type, because of its simplicity and effectiveness, Leth says.

The ranch, u ranch as the 69 head of Jerseys to be sold, will attract a large crowds It Is recalled that Thomas Mitchell, movie star, purchased the farm a few years ago and made a number of "notable Improvements, Including putting in an outstanding Jersey herd bought from Oregon's ; best and widest known foundation stock. Weathers, a well known Willamette valley rancher, bought the farm, including equipment and cattle, several months ago. But seed and general farming, and not dairying, are his Interests.

FJAHT !!i for the Smart Shop 3 Sell You 11 Be Glad You Waited! New Spray to Work Miracles Here's a 1 dream come true for both the farm and the cfty lawn owner. It's a spray that promises to do three jobs at the same time kill weeds, fertilize the grass and pro tect the grass from attack by fungus disease. Farmers even plan to use it on smalt, grains. , , The new spray,. now in process; of development at the Beitsville i research center of the U.S. de- ! partment of agriculture, combines j a solution of the new highly-se- ! lective weed-killer, 2-4D, vwith the fertilizer jbrea which contains nitrogen and with the well- ; known fungicide, fermate. The experiment started in an j effort to overcome the tendency -i of 2-4D to slow up for a time the , growth of grasses. i To offset that set-back, the de- j partment investigators hit upon to the weed-killing spray. Then i they tried adding the fungicide to see if it would make the mixture bad for the grass. They report the weed killer is no worse for the grass when used along with the fertilizer and fun gicide than when used alone, and is just as bad for the weeds. Further experiments will be made. In the meantime ' "W. G. Nibler, Marion county agent, says use 2-4D which is already available on the market. It kills dandelions, English daisies, plantains, chick weed, and also clovers. The hor mone sprays kill weeds slowly and it may take two months for some weeds to die completely. Serious Spud Diseases Eved In Research BUYS ARABIAN STALLION Mr. and Mrs. L. J.

The project will be partially financed by the j Oregon Potato Growers associa tion which has levied a 1-cent tax per bag of certified seed sold by its members to create a fund for this purpose, reports J. R. McCambridge, assistant extension farm crops specialist. Leaf roll is becoming increas ingly serious in potato growing regions. In Klamath county alone it curtailed certified seed produc tion by 11.000 bags last year, and is causing increasing losses in other leading potato areas in Multnomah, Deschutes, Crook and Baker counties. As an example of what could happen In Oregon, McCambridge I cites the Yakima area, once a ma jor producer of certified Netted Gem potatoes, which was forced out of business when the disease became rampant there. In Ore gon for 17 years, it has become j increasingly serious, with no in dication of abating. Dr. J. A. Milbrath, associate plant pathologist of the experi- j merit station, is conducting re search on the disease on a part time basis, but a full-time spec ialist will be put on the project soon to work under his super vision. Additional greenhouse space will be required to speed the work for earliest benefit to growers. facts already established, as summarized by McCambridge, are that this virus disease is transmitted from plant to plant by insects, chiefly aphids, that it winters over in the potato tuber and not in the soil, that early rouging is essential to keep j down the spread in a field, and that using clean seed stock would eliminate the disease.
