More than half of Oregon's
veterans have allowed their G. I.
insurance to lapse since they
resumed civilian life, a survey
made by Veterans Administra
tion offices here and in other
cities of the state indicated to
day. During a month's period, VA
representatives questioned near
ly 6000 ex-servicemen who came
tlonal Service Life insurance to
lapse. Another 12.6 per cent
have reinstated their GJ. Insur
ance, but large numbers have
reduced amounts carried.
Average policy holder Inter
viewed carried $9527 while In
service, but now maintains $7,
675. The veteran who has con
verted to a permanent form of
policy carries $5236, Mr. Cox
related.
The survey showed that about
18.8 per cent of the veterans still
carrying N.S.L.I. have converted
in to inquire about insurance in ! their term policies. Among these,
an effort to find out what they about 40 per cent have chosen
are doing about reinstatement 1 20-pay life, 24 per cent ordinary
and conversion.
Charles M. Cox, VA contact
representative here, pointed out
that 56 per cent of those inter
viewed had allowed their Na-
life and 23 per cent 30-pay life.
Endowment policies, approv
ed by congress only last August,
have been less popular, with i2
per cent choosing 20-year en-

dowment, 5.8 per cent taking out
endowment at age 60, and 1.4
per cent converting to endow
ment at age 65.
Many veterans are keeping
their term insurance as long as
possible because it provides
more protection for each dollar
paid in premiums, Mr. Cox re
marked. Lapsed policies may be
reinstated before February 1,
1947, without a physical exam
ination by payment of two mon
ths' premiums.

2,4-D Weed Spray
Shows Good Kill
In Grain Fields
Widespread use of the weed killer
2,4-D for many purposes on Oregon
farms is justified by results of
controlled experiments and field
use, reports W. G. Nibler, assistant
farm crops specialist at Oregon
State college.
Treating fields of grain and com
mon rye grass infested with Canada
thistle, wild pea, hairy vetch and
morning glories will probably be
come standard practice judging
from results so far, Nibler says.
While Canada thistles have not
been killed by this hormone spray,
seed formation is prevented and
the roots are weakened.
More than 2000 acres of grain an
grass were sprayed effectively for
control of these weed pests in 1946,
Nibler reports. Sprayed barley
fields infested with Canada thistle
yields as well as clean fields. Sim
ilar results were obtained with oats
and wheat
Several common rye grass fields
which were ruined for seed last
year by volunteer hairy vetch and
wild pea, gave excellent yields this
year when sprayed with 2,4-D.
Grain fields were cleared of vetch
in the same manner.
Wild morning glory can be killed
if two or three applications of the
2,4-D are made at the proper time.
In Columbia basin grain fields
spraying with this weed killer has
eliminated peppergrass and mustard
when these were very small, in
creasing yields materially.
Spraying is now the most common
method of applying 2,4-D but im
proved dusts are beging developed
which show promise of providing a
quicker and cheaper method of use.
County agents are ready to give
interested farmers reports on local
trials of this material and to explain
best local methods of application.
THANK YOU
On behalf of the members of
the Morrow county committee
for the veterans hospital in Wal
la Walla, I wish to thank each
person and every organization
who gave plants and wreaths,
then, when that project was fill
ed who gave phone calls home,
candy and nuts so our boys
would have a wonderful Christ
mas. Special thanks go to the
Rhea Creek grange who sponsor
ed twenty gift bags, to Lexing
ton grange who filled ten bags
and to the lone grange, the Eas
tern Star Social club of lone and
the Rebekah lodge of lone for
filling the last ten of the forty
we were allotted. I proudly turn
ed in our Christmas bags be
cause they were so generously
and carefully filled and because
they were so pretty. These will
be given men in our ward and
the balance needed will come
from e.vtn nice ones given in
Walla Walla.
Friday evening was spent in
our ward end I found such a
friendly spirit toward the people
of Morrow county. Each man
smiled his thanks and told me
how much nicer It was in there
since Morrow county people took
over. They are looking forward
with pleasure to their Christmas
party, gift of the Harry Duvalls,
their poinsettias and wreaths
are going to be a surprise and
a most pleasant one. I want to
express my thanks? to Faye
Bucknum who made such gen
erous reductions on the wreaths
and plants and whose lovely big
red bows are going to brighten
up those dull old hospital rooms.
MRS. R. I. THOMPSON.
A preliminary bulletin on use of
2,4-D is also available at county
extension offices.
