Wheat League Told
Of Inroads Made
By Dwarf Smut
Dwarf smut, a problem in the
State of Washington wheat areas
for more than 20 years, has shown
up in Oregon during the past two
yearr, and it presents a distinct
mena to the Industry which
must not be over looked, stated Dr.
C. S. Helton, Pullman, Washington
during the first annual meeting
of the Oregon Wheat Growers
League Friday, December 2.
The USDA agronomist said
that dwarf smut, unlike other
smut strains, cannot be controlled
through seed treatment.
"Once established in the soil,"
Dr. Holton said, "the spores will
live for many years. Thus whether
seed is treated or not, the spores
re-infect seed."
Dwarf smut was noted in Union
county this year, and fields were
examined where 50 percent of the
heads of the popular Elgin wheat
variety were smutted. As well as
through the transport of infected
grain, dwarf smut spores are
spread through the air, the agron
omlst stated.
Wheat varieties which are class
ified as seceptible to dwarf smut,
according to Dr. Holton, are Elgin,
Rio, and Fortyfold. Resistant var
ieties include Rex and a new var
iety, Elmar, which has complete
resistance. The Eastern Oregon
dry land and wheat areas are
"made to order" for dwarf smut
Infestation, the agronomist con
cluded. M. M. Oveson, Pendleton, sup
erintendent of the Pendleton
experiment station and project
supervisor of the league spon
sored Columbia Basin Soil Erosion
Project, stated that as the project
starts its second year, three dem-
onstration farms are in operation
It is too early, he stated, to an
nounce trial results.

A record 4000,000 acres of wheat
may be sprayed to control weeds
using 2,4-D in the Columbia basin
during the current crop year Virg
il Freed, Oregon State College
experiment station agronomist,
told league members. During this
past year, he said, only 2000,000
acres were sprayed.
He urged wheat ranchers to use
water as a carrier for their 2,4-D
sprays in place of oil carriers,
oil carriers Freed explained, will
cut wheat yields from two to five
bushels per acre. This will more
than offset the added cast of
spraying with water as a carrier.

How America's first service station was born
On day back in 1907, a Standard of Cali
fornia man stood watching a line of impa
tient motorists in goggles and linen dusters
waiting to buy five-gallon cans of gasoline
at Standard's Seattle plant He had an idea
for serving customers more efficiently, more
conveniently.
The next day a thirty-gallon tank which
bad been a kitchen water heater was in
stalled opposite the main gate at the plant
To it were attached a valve-controlled hose
and a glass gauge ... so gas could be poured
directly into the customers' cars.
That makeshift arrangement was the first
service station in America.
Today there are more than 10,000 Com
pany and Independent Dealer stations sell
ing Standard of California products. The
services and conveniences they offer ... the
improved products they sell . . . would
probably make them hard to recognize by
the men who developed the first station.
For the people of Standard today, as then,
continue to seek ways to make better prod
ucts and to serve better the people who
use them.
