Record Low Smut In Oregon Wheat Smut, the black fungus disease that was the scourge of the wheat fields in the mid-1950s, is apparently being beaten by a combination of smut resistant wheat varieties and chemical seed treatment. For the second year in a row, Oregon, Washington and north ern Idaho farmers had a record low of smut in their wheat. Results of the annual inspec tion program in 1961 for the Pacific Northwest showed only 0 2 percent of all samples grad ing smutty, the same percentage ns 1900, according to J. A. Brown ing, agricultural marketing ser vice grain supervisor with the U S Department of Agriculture. A- total of 24,086 lots of farmer owned wheat were "ispectedit 288 points in the three states ,apendfeton area samples graded free of smut last year as grow ers eliminated the 0.2 percent that graded smutty in I960 the report shows. A total of 1.694 amnios in Umatilla, Union, 'Hal-or and Wallowa counties was graded during the past year. The low percentage of samples trading smutty the past two vears reflects a determined drive against the fungus in Pacific Northwest wheat. Browning pointed out that 1955 was the peak smut year, with 33.9 per cent of the wheat graded smutty, and also the turning point in the campaign. The percentage has dropped steadily since that time and for the last five years has been less than 5 percent. One effective weapon was the release of Omar, a highly smut reiUtant white club variety wheat adapted to the Pacific Northwest. Omar now makes up q. 5 percent of the identified varieties of the white club class and comprised 72 percent of the !1 Pacific Northwest wheat crop. . Another effective weapon has been the use of seed treatment with the smut killing chemical IJexach lor benzene (HITS). Through treatment, this fungi litte protects wheat against in fection both from seed borne and il borne smut spores. . It is important to use chemical wd treatment even with smut resistant wheat varieties. Powel on emphasized. This will pre vent development and spread ol new races of smut fungus to which resistant varieties might be susceptible.

H e v v n e r, chairman of the" county unit of the American Cancer bocietys Oregon division. In the same year, an estimated. live persons in the county will be saved from the disease. About seven will die. The predictions are based on statistical forecasts about cancer appearing in the society s new handbook, "19G2 Cancer Facts and Figures," and the 19G1 pop ulation of the county, estimated by the Oregon State Board of Census at 4,945. According to the statistical preview, some 1,236 county resi dents will eventually develop cancer and, If present death rates for the disease continue, about 742 will die. Statewide, the national esti mates show, more than 7,800 persons will be under medical treatment for cancer In 1902. About 5,000 new cases In the state will be diagnosed during the year. Of them, nearly 1,700 will be saved. Nearly 2,700 will die. The present cure rate Is one in three. In 1937, the rate was only one cure In every seven cases. In more recent years, It became one In four. According to Mrs. MeCurdy, an individual concerned about the threat of cancer to himself and his family can help boost the cure rate by knowing and recog nizing cancer's danger signals and by making a habit of visit ing his physician for periodic health examinations.

As a "visitor' in the forest, Standard has a responsibility to protect wild life and keep the wilderness fresh and green. And we accomplish this in several way, working closely with fish and game and wildlife officials. Water wells, essential to our drilling operations, nourish thirsty plants and animals ... and nesting and breeding ponds are built for wild fowl. When wells are in, we assure new growth by reseeding grassland and by planting new trees in the work area. Exploring teams in helicopters keep sharp watch for fires, and on the ground our men with bulldozers and water trucks stand ready to help when fire strikes. Good conservation includes thou sands of oil-prodiicing areas that are also used foe recreation, outdoor sports, fanning and grazing. Multiple tase of the land allows more people to enjoy our heritage and the beauty of the great outdoors. At the same time, our natural resources are developed to serve the nation. planning tW to $fv you better STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA f i i
