Some time ago we asked for
cooperators for plots of morn
ing glory for research work.
Eleven farmers Indicated inter
est in cooperating with this pro
gram which was set to compare
different rates and dates of ap
plication of new, promising ma
terials for morning glory con
trol. The project was set up by
request of several organizations
and groups asking for more re
search. Dean Swan, weed man
from the Pendleton Branch Ex
periment Station, is In charge
of the accelerated research In
the Columbia Basin. On May 22,
Dean Swan and I inspected the
fields which had been volunteer
ed. Regardless of the amount of
infestation in the county, it was
difficult to find morning glory
patches which were large
enough in size for use in the
research work. Patches in many
cases which were large enough
were not of uniform stand for
comparisons. A few patches were
inaccessible for treatment in the
summer fallow and getting back
Into for follow-up work in the
next crop year. First treatments
were applied on land farmed by
C N Jones and sons In Cason
Canyon on Monday of this week
and Kenneth Turner ranch in
Sandhollow. The main chemical
to be checked Is the newly re
leased. TBA which will be ap
plied at various dates and rates.
First rancher to make appli
cation for field Inspection for
seed certification Is Kenneth
Smouse, lone. Kenneth has ap
plied for certification on 50 acres
of Burt wheat, which if passes
field and bin inspection will be
sold as certified blue tag seed.
To be eligible for certification
seed planted must be Oregon
tagged or from another source.
Land must not have grown an
indistinguishable variety or an
uncertified lot of the same var
iety for at least two years pre
vious to planting time. Field in
spection tolerances allow no flag
smut and only O.lO P" cent of
loose smut. No rye is allowed
and only 0.05 percent of other
wheat varieties. An extremely
weedy field regardless of type
of weed will be rejected, how-

ever, no morning glory and
quack grass is allowed in any
case. For those who have grain
seeded eligible for certification
applications can be obtained at
this office and should be made
out in the very immediate fu
ture so that a schedule of field
inspections can be worked out.
The certification fee is 60c per
acre with a minimum charge of
$5.
While there Is some demand
for certified seed each year there
is much greater demand for just
plain clean seed. With the large
amount of rye showing up in
many fields throughout the
county this office has had a
number of requests for sources
of clean seed wheat recently. If
there are growers who have an
exceptionally clean field of
wheat, regardless of variety, we
would appreciate knowing of it.
Many times farmers like to in
spect the field before harvest
from which they are to receive
their seed. Those who are inter
ested in providing clean seed
could be of much help by re
porting such fields soon.
With the frequent showers and
cloudy weather the past week,
the European grain aphid infes
tations have seemed to multiply
rapidly. Before this favorable
weather came along, the hot
weather seemed to have discour
ager multiplication. At least one
infestation was found this week
which averaged considerably
more than the 25 aphids per
head which seems to be the
breaking point where control
measures might pay. This is true
if the grain is in the early
dough, milk stage, or earlier.
Infestations seem to be spotted
and conditions vary from one
field to the next so a rather
careful field Inspection is nec
essary. Besides taking into con
sideration the stage of develop
ment of the grain, it is necessary
to determine the amount of
aphid predators in the field as
these will Influence the need
for control. If control is indica
ted, good results have been ob
tained by the application of 4
ounces of actual Parathion per
acre or from ten to twelve ounces
of actual Malathion per acre.
Malathlon is less effective when
temperatures are cool. Parathion
is a dangerous material to use
and only experienced appli
cators or those willing to exer
cise the greatest of care should
use It.

With our county weed spray
program In full swing we are
attempting to get over the roads
getting annual as well as per
ennial weed infestations taken
care of as well as possible. Dur
ing the past week a few farmers
have reported to this office weed
infestations for which we are
grateful. Our weed control pro
gram can be much more effect
ive if everyone will report weed
Infestations which we might
have missed or have not yet
reached. Weed infestations can
be reported to this office or by
calling the Morrow county road
shop.

Senator Wayne Morse, last
week expressed deep satisfact
ion over the announcement by
the U S Air Force that it had
formally requested the author
ized construction of a bomarc
missile facility at Camp Adair,
between Salem and Corvallis
and pledged his cooperation in
furthering the program.
While the details of the pro
ject were not released in full,
the air force estimated the cost
of the bomarc site to be about
$10 million. .
Construction will be handled
by the Corps of Engineers as
are four other projects In the
Northeastern part of the United
States. In choosing this Oregon
location, the air force gives tes
timony of the importance of this
installation to national defense.
The project will help Oregon's
economy and is in line with re
quests I have made of the de
fense establishment to make
greater use of Oregon's strategic
location and industrial poten
tial for national defense, said
Senator Morse.
ASK HIGHER PHONE RATES
The Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Co has asked Public
Utilities Commissioner Howard
Morgan for an increase in rates
averaging about 7 per cent to
bring an estimated additional
$5,000,000 annually.
The last rate Increase was for
4.9 per cent, made in January
1957, just before Commissioner
Morgan took office. According to
an estimate by a company offic
ial the average raise (without
taxes) would be approximately
75 cents a month on a statewide
basis, which would include low
rate suburban and four-party
lines.
Several weeks ago Morgan
suspended rate increases asked
by West Coast Telephone Co that
would return the company an
extra $600,000 annually. The sus
pension is for not more than six
months. During the time the PUC
will investigate the rates and
hold public hearings.
Commissioner Morgan says it
will require considerable time
for his office to assemble re
quired information and adjust
the fair return prescribed by law.
If there is to be a raise it will
not become operative for several
months.
ZONING UNIT INVALID
In ruling the East Washington
County Zoning District Wednes
day the State Supreme Court
left almost all fire and zoning
districts in the state under a
cloud, because state court did
not rule on the constitutionality
of a 1957 law to validate them.
A year ago the state court rul
ed the district invalid because
voters in elections to create zon
ing and fire districts must be
property owners.
The Legislature at its special
session in October passed a law
to permit any registered voter
to vote in elections to create
such districts.
In Wednesday's opinion, the
high court held that the East
Washington District still is il
legal and does not exist. The
opinion, however, can't apply to
other districts because the state
court invalidated the district on

from and will come up with
one soon.
Fred Mankin, superintendent
of the horse show, is cramped
for display stalls for mares and
colts and stallions. Also for suit
able tieing space for other stock.
If the fair board hasn't the funds
for the box stalls at this time,
the manger back of the Wrang

out much expense and labor fur

convenience and safety of stock
being shown.

Those that enjoyed the show
Sunday Thanks goes to Don
Greenup for the stock; Cornett
Green, Fetschs and Barratts for
trucking them in and out; Roice
Fulleton for getting out before
breakfast to get them in the
corral; Harold Erwin and Al
Fetsch as announcers; the
timers, Dimples Munkers, Archie
Munkers, Betty Fulleton and
Bonnie Barratt; the girls push
ing the pencils that supplies the
announcers with the winners of
each event, Mrs Erwin and Mrs
Pat O'Brien.
And don't forget the arena dir
ector, Bill Smethurst, who plays
a mighty important part of keep
ing the contestants busy and the
show interesting.
The club thanks Fred Mankin
for gathering In contributions at
the gate, $43.00. To Ethel New
man for operating the concession
stand, netting $22.05. To Moyer
for moving his pump down and
soaking the grounds before the
show. And as usual, last of all
we thank the Lord that made
all our enjoyment possible; for
soaking the grounds as it be
came dusty, just before the show
was over. Giving all a desire to
head for home.
Some of the comical things;
Newman trying to rope, getting
the saddle horn hooked under
his breast bone, hat down over
the face, his loop around his
neck; Jim Farley leaving the
arena with appearonce of hav
ing just been dunked in a water
ing trough, trying to give his
turn at roping to someone,
strangely enough there were no
takers.
During the Sage Riders
Wranglers playday a week ago
last Sunday, Dimples fed $63
worth of stew. Marion Green
gathered in $75 at the gate (if
Newman will quit spending). We
should have enough for buck
les and prizes at fair time, which
