THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND. OREGON
TUESDAY. JANUARY 3, 1950
Jefferson County
Tops Nation With
Ladino Seed Crop
Within a span of four years,
Jefferson county has become the
nation's ranking producer of cer
tified ladino clover seed, states
H. E. Finnell, O.S.C. extension
certification specialist, who adds
that 1949 production in the cen
tral Oregon county will surpass
the nation's entire 1948 crop.
When cleaning is completed,
Oregon's 1949 certified ladino
clover seed crop is expected to
reach two million pounds, an all
time record. To give an idea
of the crop value, first grade seed,
supported at 51,25 a pound by the
government, is currently selling
for about $1.30 per pound.
Of the state total. Finnell says
Jefferson county will have at least
1 million pounds of certified la
dino clover seed this year. Clean
ing normally consumes several
months after the completion of
harvest. Thus, accurate yield fig
ures are not available on the
heels of harvest completion.
, Much Certified
Total acreage passed for certi
fication in the state this year
was 9,595, as compared to 5,6fi2
acres during 1948 when 452,940
pounds of seed were produced.
As the state's number one pro
ducer, Jefferson county had 6,324
acres passed for certification in
1949, more than the entire state
total in 1948.
That acreage total Is expected
to be pushed half again higher
during the 1950 crop year, Fin
nell estimates, based on grower
Indications.
The state's second ranking cer
tified ladino clover seed producer
was Josephine county with 1,414
acres. Jackson ranked third with
876 acres.
During 1948, the nation's entire
certified ladino clover seed crop
came from 13,445 acres and to
taled Just 769,558 pounds.
Most of the Jefferson county
production is in newly irrigated
sections which receive water
from the Deschutes river. Past
Jefferson county ladino clover
acreage certification figures as
announced by Finnell are as fol
Fows: 1946, 279 acres; 1947, 673
acres, and 1948, 1837 acres.
Six Specialists
Slaied for Talks
On Weed Control
Control of common ryegrass in
ladino clover fields to be harvest
ed for seed using the new weed
control chemical, IPC, will be dis--"
cussed by Virgil Freed, O.S.C. ex-1
periment station agronomist, at a :
one-day weed control meeting in
the Multnomah hotel, Portland, (
January 9, starting at 10 a.m.
This meeting is piannea in con-1
junction with the ninth annual1
meeting of the Oregon Seed
Growers league which will be 1
held the following two days, Janu- i
ary 10 and 11, according to thej
secretary of the weed control
committee, Rex Warren, O.S.C.
extension farm crops specialist.
Warren is assisting Jack Sather,
Clatskanie, committee chairman,
in making program arrange
ments.
Spraying Effective
It has been demonstrated, ac
cording to Freed, that selective
spraying of ladino clover fields to
eradicate common ryegrass has
more than doubled seed yields
from second and third crops. It
is not necessary to spray the first
year. Trial results emphasize the
need for doing away with compet
ing crops, the agronomist points
out. . '
Other speakers will include
Harold Schieferstein, Klamath
county weed supervisor for the
past il years. He win discuss
weed district management. War
ren said that during Schlefer
stein's tenure in Klamath county
a phenomenal job of organizing
a program to control perennial
weeds along rightaways has been
carried out.
H. E. Bierman, O.S.C. farm
crops experiment station staff
member, will discuss Drusny
plant control using 2.4-5T, 2,4-D
and ammate. out-of-state speak
ers include Vic Bruns, irrigation
experiment station agronomist,
Prosser, Wash.; Dr. Lowell Has
mussen, Washington State col
lege; and Dr. William Hedlin,
commercial chemical company
representative, Sumner, Wash.
Control problems with tansy
ragwort, a poisonous weed becom
ing more widespread in western
Oregon, will also be discussed.
Bruns will discuss perennial
weed control in orchards, with
emphasis on Canada thistle and
morning glory.
