Inskeep, Extension babe came home Friday. Extension Agent) On our trip east we visited the largest commercial holly planting on the Atlantic Coast. It belongs to C. R Wolf, M ill ville, New Jersey. Mr W olf is the President of the American Holly Society. He presided at the society meeting held in Portland last October. Mr. W olf and his orcharo manager, Daniel C. Fenton, a graduate of Rutgers U.gave us a most cordial welcome. Let it be noted here that Mr. Wolf operates a huge industrial sand business. Holly produc tion is a hobby with him and he gives every pound of holly to his customers at Christmas time. The crop we estimated at 30 thousand pounds. This planting of about 20 ac res is composed entirely of Ilex opaca, or native American holly seedlings. Our so-called English or European holly car ries the scientific name of Ilex aquifolium. The leaves of Eng lish holly exhibit a deep green sheen not found in the native American holly. However, there may be opaca varieties developed which rival English holly. To keep ahead of the game Oregon growers had bet ter bring on the choicest of our English varieties. Eastern orchard manage ment problems appeared much the samea s ours. Actually the Wolf planting was made on quite flat land and he has a frost problem at blossom time just as we have on our flat lands here. To get around this problem Mr. Wolf has adopted two measures. The first con sists of construction of two wind towers approximately 30 feet high. Mounted on these are two electrically driven aeroplane type propellers. When the temperature ap proaches freezing these mach ines are set in motion so that the whole planting is providea with good air circuation. The second measure consists of use of smudge pots using some type of oil for fuel. Mr. W olf has tried several of our aquilolium varieties without much success. They do not withstand the low winter temperatures encountered there. We talked of the possi 9-3336. Sandy MU 7-230! bility of locating future plant ings on rolling hills with bet ter air drainage.

We are still not satisfied that our aquifolium hollies will not thrive in this general area if planted on more favor able orchard sites. In fact, Mr. W olf has had little success with Chinese or Cornuta holly but we saw excellent Cornuta speciments on rolling land nead Pihladelphia.

This is what we found on an inspection trip to the area the second week in June. St. Johnswort, Klamath weed or goat weed is common to the roadsides and many un cultivated areas of Clackamas County, although this weed is not so serious as in cattle and sheep rangelands. Millions of acres of such lands have been taken over by St. Johnswort in California, portions of Eastern Oregon, and Idaho. Much of this present situation is the re sult of overgrazing. The pro gram now is to eradicate the weed and to give range grasses a chance to come back. Nevertheless, thisis a rather serious weed pest here.partial ly because it is often confused with tansy ragwort whichit re sembles in the blossom stage. The beetle in question feeds only on St Johnswort and. In time, effects complete eradi cation. Entomologists discov - ered the beetle in France.From France it was introduced to Australia and from Australia it was brought to California.
