Phone 6-9228 Mediterranean Sage Hurts Range Lands; Controls Outlined A plant that Arabs and Turks cultivated centuries ago for its al leged cure of aches and pains is becoming a headache to East ern Oregon farmers. Mediterranean sage, a range robbing plant tha tcattle won't eat, has taken over an estimated 200,000 acres in Lake county, a patch has started in Union county and it has infested about 700 acres near Walla Walla. C. E. Poulton, Oregon State college range management re searcher, says the plant will grow on almost all Easterly Oregon soils and moves in quickly on a rundown range if it finds no competition from thrifty . peren nial grasses. Lake county's pre sent infestation has mushroomed from 40,000 acres since 1950. It was first recorded in the United States about 6fj years ago in northern California. Known controls: 2,4-D spraying or grubbing, combined with good range management. The weed kills easily, but it takes over again unless held out by well managed perennial range grasses. Only one pound per acre of butyl ester 2,4-D killed all plants in test plots near Lakeview. Sprays should be applied when Mediterranean sage is in the early stage of flower stalk for mation, usually in late May or June. The plant, a wolly sage green cluster or broad basal leaves, is similar in appearance to the more common mullein. Plants often Food "Cheaper" Now Than 30 Years Ago Food is actually "cheaper" in addition to being better than during the "good old days" of the 1920's, report Oregon State col lege extension economists. Thirty years ago an hour's take home pay would be 5 loaves of bread now it buys 10 loaves. Then an hour's take-home pay would buy 3 quarts of milk now it buys 7. Then it bought 1 pounds of steak or chicken now it buys 2 pounds of steak or 3 pounds of chicken. An hour's take-home pay today buys 3 dozen oranges or 9 cans of tomatoes about 3 times as much as 30 years ago. And here is an indication of what has happened to diets. To day we eat three times as many oranges per person as we did 30 years ago, about twice as much grow one foot in diameter and two feet high on good soil. Un like the mullein leaf, the sage leaf is netted with veins and has a sawtooth edge. The plant has a branched flower stalk in con trast to the single spike of mul lein. Mediterranean sage is a bi ennial that forms its broad base rosette the first year, throws up its flower and seed stalk the second year, then dies. Spray control depends upon proper tim ing that kills the flower stalk before it scatters seed. But, the final answer, Poulton emphasizes, is in replacing it or heading it off with properly managed native or seeded grass cover. ice cream and tomatoes, about two-thirds more chicken, about a third more beef. We drink more milk and eat more cheese, vegetables and frtiits. O 1 m. nnA Mn. stpnhen Thomp son and family of Pendleton are spending this weeK in neppnei. .

W E2 H Does 'Northwestern' Hare A Larger Run of Good and Choice Quality Cattle Each Week? The answer is because farmers and ranchers receive from $1 to $2 cwt. more for their stock at 'Northwestern' than in any other place or manner of selling. WHY DO THEY RECEIVE HIGHER PRICES (AT LESS COST) AT 'NORTHWESTERN'? The answer is because buyers in large numbers from a wide area recognize 'Northwestern' as a dependable source of clean sanitary, well-handled cattle.
