New Lawn Bulletin
Home gardeners who are plan
ning a new lawn or a face-lifting
job for the old lawn can find most
of the answers in a new bulletin
just released by Oregon State col
lege agricultural experiment sta
lion. The bulletin, "Home Lawns
for Oregon", also gives tips on
helping a lawn through the win
ter months.
Free copies of station bulletin
516 are available at the county ex
tension offices or from the col
lege. The bulletin was written by
II. L. Schudel of the OSC farm
crops department and H. II.
Hampton, USDA agronomist sta
tioned at the college.
Most poor lawns can be traced
to improper mowing, careless
watering, or wrong uses of fertil
izers, according to the authors.
Their well-illustrated booklet in
cludes a fertilizer schedule for ir
rigated lawns and information on
control of weeds, insects and di
seases. For the homeowner planning a
new lawn, the specialists recom
mend types of grasses for all
areas of Oregon. They also dis
cuss grading and drainage, pre
paring the soil, and seeding the
new lawn.

Fescue Seed Growers
Reminded to Spray
Grasses in October.
Fall spraying to control weedy
annual grasses in fescues grown
for seed will help to produce a
higher quality seed and to bring
greater grower profits, Virgil H.
Freed, weed control project leader
from the OSC experimen station,
reminds seed growers.
This year Chlore IPC, a new
compound developed by Freed at
OSC, is recommended as the pre
ferred material for spraying be
cause of its greater effectiveness
on the weedy annuals with less,
injury to the fescues. Regular
IPC that has brought consistently
good results in past years is still
recommended also, however. i
To be effective, the IPC sprays
should be appliod during October.
Applications may be made by
ground sprayers or by planes but
should be uniform, Freed empha
sizes. Suggested rates per acre are the
same for both Chloro IPC and
regular IPC. For alta fescue, the
recommended rate is 3 to 4
pounds per acre; for red fescus
and chewing fescues, up to but
not more than 3 pounds.
The new herbicide Chloro IPC
has a longer residual effect in
the soil than regular IPC and Is
particularly effective on germi
nating seed or very young seed
lings. It was discovered by Freed
in 1946 and has been used exten
sively in field tests by him and
Dave Bayer, graduate assistant in
farm crops from Grass Valley,
since then.
It has been found to effective
ly control sheep sorrell, annual
ryegrass, annual bluegrass and
cheatgrass among others.

Oregon Farm Census
Shows Big Increase
In Acreage, Value
Snmp inlornstinrr sirlelifhts nn
c "
Oregon's agriculture at the mid-
eentury mark have come trom an
analysis of recent census data
by Mrs. Elvera Horrell, OSC ex
tension agricultural economist.
The census shows that nearly
twice as much Oregon land is be
ing farmed today as 50 years ago
with a sharp increase in the num
ber of farms.
At the present time, Oregon has
slightly more than 20,300,000
acres of land in farms. In 1900, the
iigure was 10,071,328. The num
ber of farms has jumped from the
35,837 total in 1900 to the present
day $59,827.
Average-sized farm at the open
ing of the century was 281 acres.
Today that figure is up to 339.
In dollar and cent value, there
has been a tremenduous increase
of course. The bureau of agircul
tural economics of the USDA
earlier this year estimated the
total value of farm lands and
buildings in Oregon at $1,451,
000,000. The 1900 census figure
was $172,761,287.
While Oregon's agriculture to
day boasts of its diversification
and the great number of crops
that are grown in the state, the
census comparisons show that
1900 had an edge in at least a
case or tw. Fifty years ago, for
example, the census listed 14
acres of tobacco plus 1 acre of
peanuts. Some 22 head of elk
were also found on the farm ani
mal report.

A HORSE SENSE
of
Thoroughbred and
Greyhound Racing
Racing animals, both horses and
greyhounds, are bred and trained
for the healthy recreation of
sportsmen.
Thoroughbred breeding is a.,
million dollar industry in Oregon.
It will die out if pari-mutuel
racing is out-lawed. i
Who profits from the thorough
bred industry? Everybody profits.
The public profits, the breeders,
the trainers, the operators, the
feed people, the 4-H and F.F.A.
boys and girls, the county fairs,
the turkey shows, the livestock,
dairy and lamb shows, the corn
show, the P-I and Round-Up,
the State Treasurer.
Everybody profits from this
