Cholera Said
On Increase
On Hog Farms
Dr. M. J. Bel ton. 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.

city garbage on which the hogs
were fed. Remaining animals in
"the herds have been treated with
cholera serum to prevent further
losses.
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.

to be diluted with water before
being applied to the seed. It is not
necessary, says Leth, to leave any

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.

A research and control program
aimed at eventual eradication of I
leaf roll disease of potatoes in
Oregon has been started at Ore
gon State college. 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.
