R esults and recom- m entations of the new chemical TBA to replace sodium chlorate will lie presented. TBA is an o r ganic chemical based on the di- m ethylam ine salt of trichloro- benzoic acid. Costs, rates and dates of application will fie in clude J. ('hem ical company repre- K?ntatives and OSC weed special ists will Jie in attendance. We hope Sherm an county farm ers with m orning glory problems will attend. Frequently we are asked w hat is m eant by “agribusiness”. The total process of growing, process ing and purchasing of food and fi bers is call agribusiness. Almost 40% of the nation’s work for<e is employed in some phase of "A gribusiness”. Canada Thistle, a perennial plant is the scourge of W estern Oregon and is present in a few locations in Sherman county, has finally met its match. /\TA sold as Amina Triazole and Weedazol, a new herbicide, is dealing this plant a lethal blow. ATA cannot lie used selectively in crops so spot treatm ents are necessary. Control can lit* acieved using one pound in 12 gallons of w ater or 8 pounds per acre. Spraying was done last year in the Grass Valley area for this plant. Still big news on range land is the control of Sagebrush w ith 2,4-I>. Once, rangeland infested w ith this plant was considered to he som ething that had to lie "put up w ith”. Research trial.-, and field spraying prove otherwise. The really startling inform ation is the increase in forage produc tion resulting from control of sage brush. W herever ihvre is a paitial stand of forage to serve to fill in when sage is killed spray ing has been hcnefictal. However, control of the sagebt i ■> l alone will not im prove the range un less there is som etnin; t j grow in its place. Applications of 2,1-D should lie made in April or May while there is still m oisture to support good grow th. E sters of 2,1-D are re- eommen ed and the butyl ester preferred. Bate of application is 2 poun s of the 2,1-I> per acre with higher rates giving toward 100%klll. ACP Federal cost sh ar ing at 50% of cost is available for this practice. The W heat Head Worm which caused such a stir last June has not shown up In Sherm an coun ty a heat fields to date. A survey of last years more heavily Infest ed area was mad»» last week by Bobert Every, extension entom ology -ipecialist, OSC, an I your county agent. No signs of the worm could ,»e found on the ground or plant grow th in six fields insp»». ted. Any farm ers dis covering these worms are asked to notify the county agent's office, Moro. The past reason appears to be upon us. Cor those of you having trouble with aphids, we'd sug gest the use of 1 to 2 teasjioon- ful of Malathion per gallon of w ater sprayed thoroughly on the insects Lindane and the nicotine sul phate m aterials may also be used. For use by the home gardener, we like Malathion because we have had such good results with the m aterial. For tender rose leaves, lietter reduce the rate to under 2 teaspoonsful per gallon. For field control of aphids, Parathion is very effective. This m aterial is hazardous and should lie applied only by qualified peo ple who know w hat they are do ing. Last week a survey was m ade of the aphid problem on grain. Some aphids exist, but are insignificant to date. Build up of aphids m ay lie possible with heavy field infestation occurring in Umatilla county. Economics of spraying is difficult to determ ine, hut rule of thum b to date has been 25 aphids per head of grain. Damage can lie done up until late dough stage. I he m anufacture’s directions and particularly his precautions relative to the use of any chemi cal or spray m aterial should al ways he followed. Eor gardeners, we’d suggest you get a copy of the OSC bulle tin 747, entitled “ Vegetable Gar den Insect P ests”. Other bulletins on the control of insect peats and diseases of vegetables are avail able on request at the office of your county extension agent. Many of you have wondered about the value of Mondo grass for lawn purposes. The claims for it were too good to he true. The Federal Trade Commission is prohibiting it being advertised unless it is clearly disclosed that it is not a grass, it will not serve all the uses of a lawn, it will have to be mowed if a lawn height is maintained, it does not remain evergreen, is not hardy in all regions and does not have the ability to w ithstand traffic. W heat grow ers will decide in a referendum on June 20 w hether m arketing quotas will he used for their 1059 wheat crop. Marketing quotas will go into effect if ap proved by at least two thirds of the grow ers voting in the referen dum. If grow ers approve 1959 wheat quotas— M arketing quotas will he in effect in all 38 “Commercial” wheat states. A farm er who ex ceeds his acreage allotm ent will be subject to a quota penalty on his “excess” wheat. Price support for grow ers who comply with their allotm ents will lie available at a national average of not less than $1.81 a bushel (75 percent of estim ated parity.) I f grow ers do not approve wheat quotas— there will lie no m arketing quotas or quota penal ties for the 1959 crop. Acreage al lotm ents will rem ain in effect for the 1959 wheat crop as a condi tion of eligibility for price sup port. Price support for grow ers who comply with their allotm ents will lie available at an average of about $1.20 a bushel (50 percent of estim ated parity, as directed by law.) Mulching of shrubs, lierry plants and the garden vegetables saves on moisture, prevents weed grow th, keeps roots cool and growing and takes the place of cultivation. Cultivation must lie very shallow during the sum m er m onths or many valuable feeder roots are destroyed. Many of these roots are w ithin two inches of the su r face and most of them are found in the top six inches of soil. Good mulching m aterial in cludes sawdust, peatm oss, leaf mol I, straw , lawn clippings and of course black polyethylene plas tic. The plastic is especially good for such heat loving plants as to matoes, egg plant, peppers, squash and melons. All of the other m aterials add organic m at ter to the soil asthey break down giving them a double value. The plastic can, however, lie used over several times if carefully bandied. T wo thousand acres in Gilliam ounty has been sprayed for Mor- man Cricket control. Farm ers having land liordering the Col umbia and John Day should lie on the look out for any build up in cricket population.A survey of in festations report will be made to determ ine w hether s p r a y i n g should lie done in this county. “Livestock-Poisoning Weeds of Oregon” is a new bulletin ju st off the press. Copies will soon be available from your county agent office. "W eeds of the Pacific N orthw est” is the first com pre hensive key to weeds of the re gion. Dr. Helen M. Gilkey, botan ist at OSC’ for 50 years is editor and is a sum m ary of collections and work over this long span. Copies of this book are being sold through the OSC book store. Pelleted feed secured from the Pendleton Grain Growers feed plant at H erm iston has proven to he very successful on the Earl G entry farm. One crop of pigs on - the G entry farm gained one pound for 3.8 pounds of pelleted feed. The pellets were a 14% pro tein ration feed from weaning to market. One ton of pellets has the follownig pounds of feed: 1,557 barley, 100 alfalfa hay, 75 tankage 1(H) soybean meal, 50 cottonseed meal and 6 each of salt, limestone and bonemeal. Feed cost ran $5(5 per ton with a 10.6 cents feed cost per pound of gain. The hogs sold on the Portland m arket for 21.5 cents per pound. Stubble busters purchased this spring by Paul E raser and L. E. Kaseberg have proven very suc cessful. Both used the stuh“ble buster before plow ing on e x trem ely heavy stubble. No diffi culty was encountered in plowing or spring toothing afterw ards. The stubble busters were run by a power take-off from a wheeled tractor. Iron chains or teeth beat and cracked the stubble suffici ently to re uce stubble plugging equipmnet. Here's results of a tool that can help m ore farm ers utilize their stubble. W hen's the best time to cut grain hay. Farm ers are still de bitin g this question, 'but really their is no reason to do so. The answ er depen, so n what you w ant from an acre of hay ground— quality in term s of protein *or volume. Results right here at the Sherman station show a protein percent of 9 at first heading to 4.5 at stiff dough stage. Yield in tons are 1.25 at first heading to 2.75 at stiff dough. Total protein •per acre varies little from first heading to stiff dough meaning the protein is ju st less concen trated. Hay cut at the bloom stage will give near two tons of hay with a six percent protein. Time to cut hay is thus determ ined by individual farm er desires as to a little more quality or more ton- nage. ’ _ J. . 4 , “/ts the Water" th at makes Olympia beer refreshingly different O L Y M P IA .
