Farm War Mews Heppner Gazette Times, June 3, 1943 5 Crude naphthalene flakes are be coming more and more important around the home garden Latest job for them is to control the car rot rust fly which has recently become a serious menace to Ore gon food crops, says Dr. Don C. Mote, experiment station entomol gist at O S. C. These are also used, among other things, to control wire worms and have sometimes proved effective in repelling the flies that cause worms in radishes and turnips. Three kinds of effective sprays have been worked out by Oregon State college entomologists to pro tect the cherries from the cherry fruit flies parents of the cherry maggots. Sprays are timed accord ing to the date the adult flies emerge from winter quarters in the soil. A lot of curealls are advertised from time to time to combat chick en coccLdiosis, but a sanitary pro gram is the best of all in the opin ion of poultry veterinarians at O. S. C, where much of the original research on these diseases was carried out Use of a coal tar repellant on the seed of peas and beans has some times proved effective in protect ing these crops from China pheas ants. How to apply the coal tar is described in an O. S. C station cir cular. No. 148. MACHINERY RATIONING County quotas have been elim inated for all but seven items of farm machinery. The change in the rationing program will not in- , crease the amount of new farm machinery available in Oregon nor will it eliminate the need for pur chase certificates. Applicants for any of the "no quota" items will be required to locate the needed machinery in a dealer's stock be fore a purchase certificate will be issued. Removal of county quotas and county 'tags" will give farmers a better opportunity to locate the machinery they need. This was not always possible when quotas were in effect as both the make and number of machines allocated to the county were specified. POTATO IRRIGATION Where potatoes in the home gar den are to be irrigated the best plan is to start watering when the plants are about five inches high and then never allow the ground to dry out from then on, says E. R. Jackrnan, extension specialist in farm crops, in a recent circular on potato production in home gardens. Commercial growers in eastern Oregon usually irrigate once a week. ( NO BOOST NEEDED IN BROILER PRODUCTION No further expansion of commer cial broiler production by the na tion's poultrymen is being advo cated by the war food administra tion following a check-up on avail able feed supplies compared with the future meat needs according to word received by Neal L. Bennion, extension poultryman, at. Oregon State college. Oregon has few large scale broil ers, hence the warning does not ap ply so specifically to this state al though even those who grow out farm sized flocks would do well to be sure of adequate supplies of. feed, particularsy high proteins, Bennion says. a LIVESTOCK SLAUGHTER Farmers are reminded that even when they have slaughter permits to slaughter livestock for sale they must collect ration points for any meat sold and turn these ration points over to the local OPA of fice at the end of each month with a report on the amount of meat slaughtered for sale nuring the month. OPA regulations have been al tered to permit farmers to have livestock custom slaughtered and take delivery of the meat for home consumption without surrendering ration points. This applies only to meat consumed on the farm. Meat slaughtered for consumption any where except on the farm where it is produced can not be delivered unless ration stamps are surren dered. SIGN FOR INCENTIVE PAYMENTS To qualify for incentive pay ments Morrow county growers who are increasing their acreage of po tatoes or vegetable truck crops must sign an "intention to partici pate" in the incentive payment pro gram before July 1. Forms are be ing mailed to growers whose farm plan indicates eligibility for in centive payments. Potato and fresh vegetable growers who do not re ceive tihis form are advised to contact the county AAA office.
