Officials have knofrn for years that pseudo miners have found loopholes in mining laws to get possession of federal tracts for non-mining use. And abuses have multiplied in recent years as a result of public interest in pros pecting for uranium and other atomic source material. Federal authorities know that many of the 166,000 mining claims on national forests of the West arc jacent lands. "The fraudulent locator in na tional forests, in addition to ob structing orderly management and the competitive sale of timbor, obtains for himself high value, publicly owned surface resources bearing no relationship to legiti mate mining activity.

"Some locators in reality desire their mining claims for commer cial enterprises such as filling sta tions, curio shops, safes, or for residence or summer camp pur poses. ". , .fishing and mining have sometimes been combined in an other form of nonfonforming use of the public lands: A group of fisherman-prospectors will locate a good stream, stake out succes sive mining claims flanking the stream; post their mining claims with 'no trespassing' signs, and proceed to enjoy their own private fishing camp. "So, too, with hunter-prospect ors, except that their blocked-out 'mining claims' embrace wildlife habitats: posted, they constitute excellent hunting camps."

Cherry Spray Time Arrives The official spray or dust no tice for cherry fruit fly control dated June 11, 1953, has been re leased by S. C. Jones, associate entomologist at Oregon State Col lege. Willamette valley sweet and sour cherry growers should start their spray or dust program immediately and maintain a pro tective spray or dust cover on their trees until harvest. Either lead arsenate, mcthoxy chlor, or rotonone sprays or dusts are recommended for cherry fruit fly control, accord ing to Jones. Lead arsenate or methoxychlor Is recommended for processing cherries. A rotenone, methoxychlor-rotenone or lead ar-senate-rotenone program is recom mended on cherries for fresh market use. Control area order No. 13 (re vised) of the Oregon department of agriculture will again be in effect in Marion county, accord ing to County Extension Agent D. L.- Rasmussen. This order protects the cherry industry in Marion county with a compulsory spray or dust program. The cherry fruit fly is widespread in the mid-Willamette valley, says Rasmussen. and a thorough spray or dust program is necessary to prevent wormy cherries and the resulting loss of markets for the local cherry crop. Jrk Turnbull is deputy horti culture inspector for cherry fruit flv control in Marion county. Turnbull may be contacted at the county agent's office in Salem. One of seven formulas recom mended by the Oregon expert men! station and approved by the state department of agriculture shall be used in eomplving witn the orovisions of the cherryfruit flv control area order.
