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.
