It U one of a sertea sponsored by The OreRonlaa and the Oregon SUtt Motor utociauon. BY JOHN A. ARMSTRONG Stall Writer. Th Orejcralan - Unless you're In the know, you can be fooled by the Bend country. You cross the Cascades going east, and the country changes from fir lorests to a rolling rugged, .raw-looking landscape piles and mountains of rocks, rising in jumbled masses from the sagebrush, scrub pine and Juniper. After 50 miles or so. the nov ' elty of this different sort of countryside wears off. After all, rocks are just rocks, and one pile looks pretty much like an other. The motorist may become slightly bored by what appears to be trie sameness of the area. Don't make the -mistake of adopting this attitude. The cen tral Oregon country around Bend is a fascinating place, full of a variety of sights to see that could keep you busy and inter ested for weeks. . You can drive as far as Bend, see some of the sights and re turn to Portland in one day If you desire. It's only hours via the new Warm Springs cut off. However, a two-day trip would be advisable. A good time to take the trip this year would be July 3-4, when the annual Bend water festival on Mirror pond is sched uled. To appreciate the Bend coun try you need to know the story of how this area was formed, for it's the offspring of eras when the earth shook and trem bled, thrust whole sections up wards to form mountains and plateaus, cracked and fissured and sped forth molten torrents of rocks and cinders. It's a vol cano country. No one knows the Bend area better than Phil Brogan of the Bend Bulletin, newspaperman and amateur geologist. He trans lates the geological country into ' colorful stories that the layman can understand. If you can corner Phil for 15 minutes he can start you out on a tour of the area that you'll never forget. We were fortunate in enlisting him as a guide on a recent one-day motoring around his home town. First stop is almost in the city itself. It's just a short circling drive to the top of Pilot butte, 50,000-year-old cinder cone that rises on the eastern outskirts of Bend. To the west are the eternally white Cascades, huge volcanoes that are not dead, but just rest ing the Three Sisters, Broken Fall Bull Sale Set For Sept. 24 at Baker Ninety three bulls, all of ser vice age, have been consigned to the annual Oregon Cattlemens Association Fall Range Bull sale, to be held at Baker, Oregon, September 24, Dorman Turner, Association secretary reports.

Even the number of a friend you call quite often? Your memory tells you it's 3 198. Or is it 3 1 89? The best way to settle it is to look up numbers before you call. You'll save time-and avoid the delay and embarrassment of having a stranger answer if your memory tricks you into getting an incorrect number.

Look east and north to see the largest juniper forest in the world. The junipers are not giants, but they are old, some of them 1500 years old. Now south of The Dalles-California highway ten miles to Lava butte, which has a road to its top (a road which is to be black-topped this summer). The forest service says Lava butte is the best viewpoint in the north Pacific district. Geologists say that from it you enjoy the most spectacular view of vol canism in the Northwest. Ordinarily we think of vol canic action as something that occurred hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago. Yet it was less than 2000 years ago that Lava butte formed. Lava butte is only one of many Bend landmarks that were erupted from a fissure in the earth's surface which is nearly 21 miles long. At least five vol canoes and lava flows erupted from this f issure, four of -them pouring liquid rock into dense forests. As the lava flowed around the trunks of the tall pine trees, it chilled and formed casts with hollow interiors. These are the strange lava cast forests of to day. Fiery sprays from the fissure built up many spatter cones rocky mounds dotting the ter rain. Showers of lava bombs were hurled from the crack. Dozens of lava tunnels formed 17 months to 27 months, have been consigned from 30 of the leading herds in the area. Bulls will be graded September 23 by Harry Lindgren, OSC and Her man Oliver, John Day. Ellis White will Auctioneer the Sale September 24.

Lava River tunnel is just two miles south of Lava butte, on the highway, and can be visited. On the southern end of the long fissure is Newberry crater a mountain that lost its top. Newberry was once a mountain at least 12,000 feet high, today its highest promontory is only 7985 feet. As lava leaked out of Mt. Newberry, faults developed and its summit was enveloped. Sub sequently, other volcanic action divided the giant crater into two parts, within which now lie Paulina and East lakes. If this secondary volcanism had not occurred, Oregon today would have two Crater lakes. One side trip is an important part of a Bend motorlog, even a one-day trip. Turn west off U. S. 97 at Culver, between , Madras and Redmond. Only a ' few miles over a navigable dirt road (best take it during dry weather) is the magnificent Cove Palisades state park. The Cove Palisades surpass the famed palisades of the Hud son river in New York state, and rival the sheer cliffs of our own Columbia. Here the Deschutes and Crooked river come together deep in the shadow of these palisades, 1000 feet below the towering plateau of basalt. land, Oregon; Ray Adams, Enter prise, Oregon; Frank Anderson, Heppner, Oregon; E.

The new 31 -page extension bulletin, number 719, is entitled "Selective Weed Control in Grain and Grass Crops." It contains in-for-iation about common spray materials, how and where they can be used and definite control recommendation for some hard-to-kill weeds. The publication also includes a response index of various weed plants to 2, 4-D, 2, 4-D mixtures, and 2, 4, 5-T. The bulletin discusses, at some length, a question which always arises: "Should I use a water or oil carrier?" Generally speaking, the authors answer, less volume per acre is required with oil, ex periments show that water is us- they were in LaGrande. Friday was Freshmen's Initia tion at the high school. It ended with a party in the evening. The party ended in an informal dance. Several of the parents dropped in and helped to make it a success.

Oil often results in more effective weed control, but It tends to reduce the selectivity of the weed con trol chemical and may cause crop Injury. Oil is more likely to drift than water, causing injury to nearby crops. Suggested control on Canada thistle using 2, 4-D is: spray while the grass or grain crop is in the "boot"; use 1 to 1 pounds of 2, 4-D acid equivalent per acre. Following harvest, make a sec cond 2, 4-D application at 1 to 3 pounds per acre as the thistle plants reach 12 to 18 Inches. With the land preferably seeded to grass, this schedule followed for two years have proven effective. The author says 2, 4-D, mixture of it, and 2, 4, 5-T as well as the dinitro selectives are used to con trol broad leaved weeds in grass crops. Dinitro selective Is often used to control weeds in seedling grass. This material is less in. jurious and gives more rapid con trol in grass which has not be- come established. Peppergrass. beeearstick and bindweed are all plants which are considered suseDtible to 2. 4-D. Bracken fern, Russian knap weed, and broom sedge are class ed as resistant.
