1 wheat.
The attention of Morrow eoun
ty wheat farmers is being called
to the rapidly increasing smut
Increase in eastern Oregon. Whiie
Morrow county did not have the
high percentage of smutty wheat
shipped last year, as in the case
of neighboring counties, the
numbers of cars grading smutty
were loo many.
In If 47. w heat shipped out of
Morrow county averaged one .
.smutty car for each fifty cars of
wheat shipped. Lexington and i
Heppner elevators received the
most smutty wheat. Oregon, pro
ducing ten ht cent of the coun
try's wheat, has twenty-five per
cent of the smut of ail wheat pro
duced. Much of this wheat lost thru
smut is unnecessary. Proper use
of seed treating materials, of
which New Improved Ceresan
and Ceresan M are most effec
::e wnl eliminate the majority
of the smut. Copper carbonate
and basic copper sulfate are not
too effci'tixe.
While farmers have shied away
from the use of New Improved
Ceresan dust because of the
fumes and irritation to the skin,
the new Ceresan -M and slurry
type treatment will overcome this
objection. At the same time the
slurry seed treatment is virtually
foolproof in getting proper appli
cation. Smutty wheat results in loss in
yield, dockage in price, dockage
in pounds of grain delivered as
well as costing the farmer freight
on something he cannot sell.
While farmers and home own
ers are concerned with how to
make plants grow better, some
are also interested in how to kill
them, particularly undesirable
trees and shrubs.
As an aid in such work the ex
tension service at Oregon State
college has just Issued circular
No. 517. "Methods of Killing
Trees, Sprouts and Brush," by
Virgil H. Freed, who heads weed
control research for the experi
ment station.
In killing a tree by girdling,
Freed suggests shallow instead of
deep cuts. A shallow girdled tree
will live for a year but will sap
the strength from the roots so
sprouting is reduced. Deep gird
ling kills quickly but promotes
sprouting.
The circular discusses poison
ing with sodium arsenite, sodium
chlorate, ammonium sulfimate
and 2.4-D. The last is reported
effective on alder, willow, pop
lar. Cottonwood, box elder, dog
wood, gooseberry and poison oak
if properly applied. It will not
control blackberries or maple and
oak trees.

Facilities are available for

Perhaps your sprit of adven
ture isn't quite satisfied yet In
that case bring along a motor
cycle for a trip through Hell's
canyon. A week before we vis
ited Baker even the natives said
it couldn't be done, but that was
before Omer George and Joe
Updegraif showed em how to
do it
They gave me an eye witness
account and I'm convinced ifs
worth all the hardship for the
scenic wonders they enjoyed.
They used new lightweight mo
torcycles, especially designed
for such trips, and in one week
completed the rugged Journey
from Halfway north to Pitta
burg Landing, where they were
ferried across the river to the
Idah lde and made their way
back to civilization.
The Baker area ia worth any
body's aaanideration for
pleasant vacation trip. Think it
over, Cleve, and put it down on

Coast Your friend.

DEAR CLEVE:
You always were one who
enjoyed travel, whether it was
that prewar trip to Europe on
a shoestring or one of those
"jeep journeys" up the island
we took between watches over
seas. As I remember you usu
ally led the pack to the out-of-the-way
places. To my mind you
typify the average tourist, eager
to investigate every nook and
cranny on your always crowded
itinerary.
I really believe we have some
thing here in Oregon to whet
your tourist s appetite. Lucille,
Bill and I have Just returned
from a 700-mile tour to the
Raker area in Eastern Oregon.
There we found an unusual
combination of vacation lures
consisting of ghost towns which
used to accommodate thousands
of gold prospectors, shimmering
mountain lakes and a grand can
yon to end all grand canyons.
After arriving in Baker we
art out to explore. That should
be right up your alley. Natives
were anxious to point out the
srenic wonders of the area and
we spent a day running down
their memories and eke out a
first-hand suggestions of many
others.
We were most curious to see
one of those ghost towns for
which our West is famous
Within 50 miles of Baker in al
most any direction one can find
a down auch former boom
towns with their abandoned
buildings still standing amid the
grass-covered thoroughfares. A
few are still occupied, mainly
v early settlers who live with
ir merorira and eke out a
existence from the once-
urnund.
i tuiae an occupied ghost
n the hot some of tire
re could give us some
local history. Sumpter was our
choice. It lies in the foothills of
the Blue mountains 29 miles
west of Baker and was reached
easily by our white motorlog
car.
Sumpter, which is representa
tive of Bourne, Granite and
Greenhorn, all nearby, accom
modated from 15,000 to 30,000
persons during its heyday
around the turn of the century,
depending on whose memory
you trust To add to the town's
colorful history, a fire con
sumed the entire city about 30
years ago and the only visible
building left to remind the sev
eral hundred residents of the
early days is the local bank
vault.
While fire cut short the gold
boom in Sumpter, the last war
curtailed the already limited ac
tivities in other nearby towns.
What few men still clung to
their placer mining claims gave
them up to aid the government
in its search for more useful
metals. Since the war the only
noticeable resumption in activ
ity in the area is the presence
of one or two giant dredges
working the bed of the Powder
river between Sumpter and
Baker.
Now, then, if you prefer fish
ing, boating or even skiing to
historical sites, Anthony lake is
the spot for you. Located north

NATIONAL FARM SAFETY
WEEK NEWS
If every Oregon farm family ac
cepts the responsibility for the
elimination of at least one hazard
for every member of the family
this week, then the national goal
for National Farm Safety week
the removal of 30,000,000 farm
hazards will be accomplished.
Nine lataiities of Oregon farm
workers were reported to James
E. Wiles, farm safety division of
the state industrial accident
commission, during the calendar
year 1947. Not all farm workers
in Oregon are covered by the
Workman's Compensation Act,
however, which the accident com
mission administers.
From the 10,474 accounts relat
ing to farms carried during 1947,
mere were 1,792 accident claims
filed by farm workers. Of these,
1,271 involved "time loss." This
represents 71 percent of the
claims filed, Wiles points out.
In eluded in the summary of
the 1947 year is one death that
occurred in an orchard. The fatal
ity was the result of a fall from
a tree. The remaining cases were
classified under "general farm."
These fatal mishaps include a
fall from a hay loft, struck by
lightning, overturned tractor,
burning, dragged to death by a
team of horses, stabbed with a
pitchfork, crushed, and a car ac
cident.
Small hand tools, such as
knives, axes, pitchforks and hoes
accounted for a good share of
the time lost as the result of
accidents resulting from their
use, reports indicate.
From the national standpoint
farm work is not a particularly
sale occupation. Figures from
the National Safety Council indi
cate the 4,300 farm workers lost
their lives in accidents last year.
Approximately 300,000 farm work-
ers were injured during the same
period. This was 200 fewer deaths
and 20,000 fweer injuries than in
1946. None of these figures in
clude accidents that are consider
ed "off the farm."
