Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, May 23, 1957 U. S. Farm Prices Up, Oregon Prices Slip Prices paid Oregon farmers slipped slightly during April while farm prices over the nation continued upward, reports Mrs. Klvera Horrell, extension agri cultural economist at OSC. Lower prices for poultry and grains other than wheat were largely responsible for the price dip in Oregon farm prices, Mrs. ilorrell said. Potato April prices, averaging less than half those of a year ago, also held down the Oregon price index. However, Oregon farm prices still average 2 per cent higher than a year ago. Meanwhile, farm costs through out the nation moved up during April for a record high as labor and operation costs and farm family living costs continued to rise. During the last year, farm costs have out paced farm orices. This has put the buying power of larm products in a squeeze. At the same time, factory wage earners had a more favor able buying power than a year ago with hourly wages up 5 per cent during the past year and only a 4 per cent Increase in prices or goods and services city work. ers ouy. o PLEASE REPORT SOCIETY ITEMS TO GT The Gazette Times former society editor, Mrs. Jack Bed ford, has resigned her position and for the present all social news should be reported to the GT office, phone 6-9228.

I If i' J 1 , ' -'0TA - :- ' Dr. Paul Bernier, poultry geneticist at Oregon State college, is proud of this White Legnorn rooster. It is one of several birds the poultryman says genetically carries both disease resistance and high egg production the result of 7 years' selection. In 1949, Bernier began selecting healthy families in the agricultural experiment sta tion's White Leghorn line. About half his layers were dying from disease and were averaging only 113 eggs a year in hen houses pur posely maintained to encourage growth of disease organisms. Last year, mortality was only 15 percent and production was up "to 208 eggs under the same management. Pesticides Require Careful Handling, OSC Tells Farmers mi 1 . vWK" 8upport your locsl safety council Pesticide chemicals make It pos sible for farmers to win the an nual battle with insects, but the fight remains a hazardous one each vear. reports Robert W. Ev ery, extension" entomoglst at OSC. The problem farmers face is to kill insects and other pests with. out killing themselves, Every says. Chemicals must also be ap plied in such a wav and at such a time that no harmful residue are left on food crops when they reach market. Nothing is as closely regulated as the nation's food supply, Ev ery adds. The federal food and drug administration, under the Miller bill, lias set uo tolerenccs limiting the amount of pesticide that can remain on lood crops when they're harvested. Food crops are regularly inspected as tney move to market, and anv crops carrying more chemical res idue than listed, or a residue from a pesticidp chemical that hasn t bPcn approved for use on the crop, are subject to seizure. To protect themselves from nor. sonal danger and possible financ ial loss, Every advises farmers to use only those pesticides approv ed by the food and drug adminis tration and to use them in a way that will make it possible for the crop to pass inspection at harvest time. Growers can get in formation on which pesticide chemicals to use, and the correct rate and method of application, from their local county extension offices. Some pesticides are extremely dangerous and should be applied only by an experienced person who is fully equipped with nec essary safety equipment. Among these pesticides, Every says, are parathion, TEPP, and Systox. These materials should never he used on home gardens or stored around the home. o Mrs. Grace Nickerson had as her guests for three days last HOSPITAL NEWS New Arrivals To Mr. and Mrs. Jack Fatland, Condon a 7 lb. 6 oz. boy born May 16, named Tho. mas Michael.

Sagebrush Spraying Brings Increased Yield From Grasses A three-fold Increase in less desirable Brasses blueerass. junegrass, and squirrel tail can De expected a vear or two after sprayintr fairlv dense saeebrush ranges and Increases in the more desirable trasses will come in two or three years. That's what D. W. Hedrick. range researcher' at Oreeon State college, and Bill Farrell, Grant county extension agent found after testing effects of large- scale, ram-'e-soravine in Mav 1955. Some 10,000 acres in Grant county were SDraved with VA to 2 pounds of Butyl ester of 2,4-D per acre. Research plots were clipped in 1955 and 1956. Hedrick and Farrell reDorted that although the big grass in crease was in less desirable SDe- cies, increases in more desirable grasses such as bluebunch wheatgrass and Idaho fescue can be expected two or three years after spraying. Research workers in drought stricken areas have found that these grasses don't recover im mediately after a year or two of normal rainfall, although these ranges improve rapidly where bunches of less desirable prasses are well distributed. Bitterbruch suffered a third to a half ton kill the first vear tteri. rick and Farrell aren't yet sure mis win seriously set back this valuable browse.
