Legislators' Pay.

Hottest Fight.

$120 for a regular session to $360 a

measure was sponsored by the
younger members of that body and
received their enthusiastic support
Veterans among the legislators in
both Houses and Senate are not so
keen for the measure and while
they may agree to submit the ques
tion to the voters it will not be with
any great optimism as to its ap
proval. This pessimism on the part
of the older members of the legis-
diverted to unemployment relief in
order to bolster up the economy
record of the Meier administration.
The new administration, as a re
sult, is left holding the sack for the
false economies of its predecessors
in office. The commission has in
formed Governor Martin that no
turn-overs to unemployment relief
will be possible for at least 60 days
if the business is to be placed on a
sound financial footing.
Some one has said that legislation
is a matter of give and take. That
might be true from the standpoint
of the lawmakers themselves but
from the standpoint of the lobbyist
it is a matter of get and keep the
other fellow from getting. Most of
the lobbyists are here either to as
sist in the passage of some meas
ure in which they are interested or
to block the passage of some bill
which they regard as inimical to
their interests.

Good Seed Required for
Good Yields of Potatoes
By JOSEPH BELANGER,
County Agent.
With the coming of potato plant
ing time the annual question arises
as to whether to plant one's own
seed or to buy certified seed from mobile.
outside of the county. This is a
question every man will have to
answer for himself but in answer
ing this question he should take
certain facts Into consideration.
There are several diseases of po
tatoes which materially reduce the
yield. At least four of these com
mon diseases are very prevalent In
this county and only one of these
four can be controlled in any way
by seed treatment Rhizoctonia is
a disease which is harbored in the
ground and it can be more or less
controlled by crop rotation. Prac
tically 100 percent control, however,
can be obtained by soaking the seed
from one and a half to two hours
in a solution of four ounces of cor
rosive sublimate to thirty gallons
of water. The seed should be soak
ed before it is cut and dried before
planting. Nearly everyone has seen
Rhizoctonia on potato plants. It
looks like a black canker on the
stem of the plant immediately above
the ground, but usually below the
ground, which gradually grows
around the stem shutting off the
rise of sap and causing the stem
to rot. Rhizoctonia would not be
a controlling factor in the raising
of seed potatoes here in Morrow
county because the seed treatment
already outlined will make seed
safe to plant in clean ground.
Mild Mosaic, Rugose Mosaic and
Leaf Roll are three diseases which
are typical of the virus group.
These diseases are spread from
plant to plant and every potato
from plants affected by these dis
eases will produce diseased plants.
Every potato growing section in
Oregon is subject to these virus
diseases. Here in Morrow county,
however, they seem to be particu
larly susceptible.
Before potatoes are certified they
must undergo two field inspections,
one soon after the plants are well
up and the other later In the sea
son. If more than a very small per
centage of diseased plants show up
in the field certification is refused.
Men who grow certified potatoes
go up and down their patches rog
ueing out any plants that show up
as abnormal. This prevents In large
part the spread of any small amount
of disease which may be present.
One can take a little of the juice
from the leaf of a diseased plant
and inject this into a healthy plant
and cause the disease. By remov
ing the diseased plants therefore
the source of infection Is also re
moved. Without roguelng and plant
ing one's own seed year after year
the percentage of disease increases
alarmingly so that In three or four
years it would-be possible to have
one hundred percent diseased po
tatoes from practically clean seed.
The virus diseases do not affect
the eating qualities of the potato
and are in no way harmful to the
potatoes as food, but they make
such a heavy reduction in yield that
it is unprofitable to use such pota
toes for seed. In using certified po
tatoes one is certain that the po
tatoes were examined in the field
by a man qualified to Identify po
tato diseases and that they were
Inspected In the bin to eliminate
as much as possible the danger of
lowering germination through Im
proper Btorage.
