"The Ticks of Oregon," by Dr. W. J.
Chamberlin, associate professor of
entomology at Oregon State college.
Ticks are not only of considerable
importance in the state, but have
aroused widespread interest and
concern because of the outbreaks of
Rocky mountain spotted fever in the
eastern part of the state, which is
carried by one species of tick. The
bulletin discusses the prevalence of
this infection and how to minimize
the danger from it.
There are close to a score of dif
ferent ticks in the state, only one of
which carries the spotted fever in
fection. This tick occurs in all east
ern Oregon counties except possibly
Hood River and Wallowa, and has
been found at least once in a half
dozen western Oregon districts.
The new bulletin lists all of the
species of ticks found so far in this
state and their known hosts.
Range Station Work
Plans to be Viewed
Those who visit the new 16,000
acre Squaw Butte range experiment
station on the coming field day,
Sept. 15, will find that land which
even two years ago looked as though
it was utterly devoid of grass is
already "coming back" from a range
standpoint and providing consider
able feed.
Some stockmen who examined
he territory when the range sta
tion was first proposed expressed
doubt that there would be enough
of the grass come back to provide
suitable research opportunity, but
this fear seems to be unfounded, say
those who have been watching the
development so far.
Arrangements have been made to
explain to visitors on the field day
the plan for rotation and deferred
grazing of both cattle and sheep and
the many other types of range re
search which are to be carried out
by the Oregon experiment station
and the., division of grazing of the
department of the interior. The sta
tion is located about 50 miles west
of Burns.
Oregon Ticks Listed
In New Bulletin
A summary of the more import
ant information regarding the ticks
to be found in Oregon, including the
results of considerable new obser
vation and research, is contained in
a new experiment station bulletin,

Oregon Traffic
Deaths
A series of weekly articles on
the problem of Highway Safety
by Earl Snell, Secretary of State.
Close observation of the traffic
situation in Oregon has convinced
me of the need for material changes
in our law as to the regulating of
speed upon the highways. Enforce
ment officers have found the basic
rule now on the books ineffective in
curbing high speed and ask for a re
turn to a definite per mile speed
limit.
I do not believe that the basic rule
should be eliminated entirely, but
suggest that its good features be
retained and that a provision limit
ing top speed be added to it. The
principle of the basic rule can be
effectively applied when even com
paratively slow driving comes under
the head of recklessness, which may
be caused by conditions involving
icy pavement, fog, or a number of
other natural causes.
Another effective curb in cases of
reckless driving would be the plac
ing of a governor sealed by the state
police, upon the car of the offender.
My own experiments with a govern
or controlled car have convinced me
that it accomplishes its purpose in
a most satisfactory manner, and
would be a definite cure for the
reckless driver who refuses to keep
his speed within safe limits.
Further, there is a chance for
good, common sense regulation thru
a system of zoning of highways by
engineers of the highway depart
ment. Long, straight roads, with few
intersections and light travel, may
be safely traveled at a greater speed
than can be applied in sections
where conditions are less favorable.
This is recognized in basic limits
within cities, and can be applied to
the open highway just as effectively.
However, improved conditions on
our highways cannot, wait upon
changes in the law. Common 'sense
driving and strict compliance with
present traffic requirements will do
much to reduce Oregon's traffic
deaths.
