Garden Peas May
Be Kept Free of
Weevils, Says OSC
Garden plots of peas may now be
protected against the pea weevil just
as effectively as the large commer
cial plantings which have been the
center of so much research attention,
according to a new bulletin on pea
weevil control issued by the Oregon
experiment station.
The bulletin, station circular 126,
contains a popular discussion of the
control methods that have been de
veloped in Oregon through the co
operation of the federal bureau of
entomology and the department of
entomology at the experiment sta
tion. Most of the work was done by
J. C, Chamberlin, representing the
federal bureau, and K. W. Gray, one
of the station entomologists, who are
co-authors of the bulletin.
Rotenone dust mixtures containing
at least three-fourths of one per
cent of rotenone is the effective in
secticide found which will control
the pea weevil whether in small or
large plantings. Small plantings of
peas in home gardens are even more
likely to be weevil- infected than
are the large commercial plants, say
the rnvestigators. When uncontrolled
the weevils in the garden not only
leave an undesirable product for
home consumption, but also consti
tute an important source for infes
tation of commercial plantings.
Any good hand duster maybe used
for controlling the weevil in the
home garden. If the patch is small,
the little plunger type of duster is
practical, while for larger gardens
the small fan or bellows type which
is hung from the shoulders may be
used.
The bulletin recommends that peas
be dusted just as soon as they come
into bloom and before any pods are
set. The dusting is repeated there
after every five to eight days until
the peak of production is reached.
The authors of the bulletin also rec
ommend that as soon as peas get
beyond the edible stage that the
vines be destroyed, thus preventing
the hatching of any late deposited
weevil eggs.
The illustrated bulletin gives di
rections for making or adapting large
power dusters for use in commercial
plantings. Most satisfactory results
have been obtained by the use of
hooded dusters which may be oper
ated even under windy conditions,
thus making better timing possible,
which is the most important factor.

Proposed Projects

The 3600 officers and men of the
Oregon National Guard who are to
participate in the annual maneuvers
at Camp Clatsop June 14 to 28 will
not go hungry. There will not only
be plenty of food but lots of variety.
Bids were opened at Guard head
quarters this week for 150 tons of
foodstuffs for the annual encamp
ment. Some of the major items on
the list include 50,000 pounds of po
tatoes, more than 50,000 pounds of
meat, 23,900 loaves of bread 6000
pounds of butter, 5600 pounds of
bananas, 7850 dozen eggs, 90 crates
of strawberries and 600 gallons of
ice, cream. Uncle Sam foots the bill.
The Oregon Board of Control does
not propose to be caught napping if
and when President Roosevelt
launches his next pump priming ex
periment. Instructions have been
given to begin the rounding up of
state projects that might qualify for
federal grants. The board has al
ready signified its readiness to spon
sor two building projects if federal
aid is forthcoming. One of these is
the proposed new tuberculosis hos
pital to be located in Multnomah
county. The last legislature appro
priated $110,000 for this project con
tingent upon a $90,000 federal grant
Uncle Sam's pump became dry be
fore the sponsors of the hospital got
their bid in but they are now stand
ing in line waiting for the new flood
of government money to start. An
other project which has the Board's
approval is an open air pavilion at
The Dalles hospital for the accom
modation of children afflicted with
tuberculosis.
Since the national administration
launched its new spending proposal
it has begun to be whispered around
in official circles that Oregon needs
another new office building in Sa
lem. This need has been apparent for
some time but because of the state's
financial condition no serious con
sideration has so far been given to it
as a project of the immediate future.
If federal aid becomes available,
however, it is very likely that this
argument will be used in an effort
to pry an appropriation out of the
next legislature.
Restriction of the sale of beer and
wine, as well as hard liquor, to state
liquor stores, is proposed by the
Oregon Anti-Liquor League in an
initiative measure filed with Secre
tary of State Snell this week. The
measure would also limit sales of
these liquors to holders of liquor
permits and sales of all liquors would
be restricted to original packages not
to be consumed on the premises. The
proposal would, in effect, abolish
beer parlors and forbid the sale of
beer in all places which now cater
to this trade. As a sort of counter
irritant to the harm done by liquor
the League's proposal would also set
aside four percent of all liquor rev
enues to finance the purchase of text
books dealing with the effect of nar
cotics on the human system, these
books to be supplied to public
schools without cost.
The Board of Control has agreed
to ask the State Highway Commis
sion for an appropriation of $3000
to finance a program of roadside
beautification. The program is being
sponsored by the Oregon oRadside
council. ' Money set aside for this
purpose by the state will be matched
by the federal government, a com
mitteee from the council told the
board at a meeting here this week.
Employees in all state institutions
will be placed on a 44-hour week
basis next year if recommendations
to be made by Governor Martin
meet with the approval of the leg's
lature. Most institution employees
now work 12 hours a day for six
days a week. The governor's pro
posal for a shorter work week will
practically double the number of
employees at some institutions.
Small Fruit Day
Set for May 27
At State College
New kinds of strawberries on the
vines, in preserves and frozen fresh
will be ready for inspection by grow
ers of Oregon attending the annual
small fruits day at the central farm
of the Oregon experiment station at
Corvallis, Thursday, June 2.
Ever since the cooperative breed
ing work carried on by the federal
bureau of plant industries and the
experiment station was started at
Corvallis, these annual field days
have attracted hundreds of grow
ers. Thousands of new seedlings and
special selections have been viewed
each year.
This year George F. Waldo, as
sistant federal pomologist stationed
at OSC, reports that a special group
of from 15 to 20 selections which
show promise as future commercial
varieties will be emphasized. None
of these varietes has yet been re
leased for field plantings because all
are being given the most rigorous
tests for cultural characteristics,
disease resistance and high quality
before being recommended for com
mercial use.
Approximately 4000 new seedling
strawberries will be fruiting for the
first time this year and a consid
erable number that would have
fruited last year except for flood
conditions will fruit this season.
Several thousand seedlings of oth
er types of berries, such as Young
berries, loganberries, Boysenberry
crosses of various sorts, blackberries
and raspberries may be seen grow
ing, although it is too early in the
season for them to be fruiting. Ex
periments conducted over several
years on various methods of pruning
and training cane berries will also
be reported on in the experimental
plots where the work is conducted.
Cultural practices with strawber
ries, disease and pest control and re
lated topics will also be touched
upon by specialists who will take
part in the field day program.
