Common Weed May
Become Valuable
Turkey mullein, a low growing
weed common in southern Oregon,
may prove to be the source of a
valuable insecticide similar to ro
tenone, if preliminary results of
some research carried on at Oregon
State college develop favorably.
Clarence Thompson, a senior student
in entomology, has been working
with this plant at the suggestion of
Dr. Don C. Mote, head of that de
partment of the experiment station.
Cold water extracts of either dried
leaves or roots of this plant have
poisoned gold fish, just as do ex
tracts of rotenone, the organic in
secticide obtained from certain trop
ical plants, and now used widely in
the control of such insects as the
pea weevil.
Experiments will be continued
on rnaay evening. luuuwiiig uic TT n rp. "V 1 d1 AA FJ V
