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.

two-thirds more chicken, about
a third more beef. We drink
more milk and eat more cheese,
vegetables and frtiits.

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.

Among Many Buyers on Hand Assure You the Top Dollar .
