Nobody here knows.
The claims of red tanks de

four weeks ot the Korean war.
But headquarters officers said the
figure is exaggerated-
Some of the tank kills probably
were reported in duplicate.
Others were reported by fighter

jet speed. Some of these could be

ters On the gubernatorial race be
tween incumbent Sidney McMath,
a supporter of the Truman admin
istration, and former Gov. Ben
Laney, a leader of amU-Truman
southern democrats. Democratic
Senator William Fulbright is un
opposed for renomination.
In Louisiana, Senator Russel B.
Long has two opponents. They
are Malcolm LaFargue, a Shreve
port - attorney, and former Rep.

tate man. Long, elected two years

Every cherry orchard in the
United States over five years old
ha virus disease, A. P. Steenland,
tree disease specialist at the state
college, told approximately 100
cherry growers who attended the
Marion county cherry tour Mon
day. Don Rasmussen was in charge
of the tour which included stops at
four different orchards.
Not enoueh attention has been
paid to diseases of cherry trees in
the past, Steenland, stressed.
"One very important thing for
all tree purchasers to remember,'
Steenland said, "is that a register
ed tree is not necessarily a virus
free tree."
He urged growers to buy from
reliable nurseries and to ask those
nurserymen if the tree is disease
free. . . 't '" . ! '
"If there Is any doubt," he added.
"get the registration number and
send it to your county agent. He
can find out or tell you definitely
if that tree is disease free." ;
If virus diseases enter the or
chards, they can not be killed but
they can be controlled. Growers
have to learn to live with them
until the trees are gone. Diseased
trees are not so long lived, al
though with every precaution In
control, the specialist stated, the
disease can be kept at a minimum
so far as damage is concerned.
R. W. Every, also from the state
college, spoke on insect pests of
cherries) also stressing control and
clean cultivation in order to save
Oregon's cherry orchards. He par
ticularly emphasized control pro
grams lor the cherry fruit fly.
During the tour, it was pointed
out that there are approximately
5,000 acres of cherries in the Wil
lamette valley from Oregon City
to Eugene. Of this acreage, the
production of approximately 3,500
is passing through the hands of the
Willamette Cherry Growers, the
cooperative cherry plant at Salem.
The crop, while spotted, has been
very good this season, growers re
ported. Average has been running
at about one and a fourth ton to
the acre. Around the first part of
July a number of sunburned cher
ries came to the plants but this is
always the case, growers stated,
when there are a few days of very
hot weather. This present hot
spell was completing cherry har
vest in a hurry others stated, al
though they admitted, it was very
nearly completed anyway. All
cherries, it was reported, includ
ing the Montmorencys, would be
harvested by the end of this week.
Orchards visited were those of
