Science Making Progress Against Rust Cheatgrass Science appears to be gaining ground on the two worst "crop robbers" in Columbia Basin wheat fields: striped rust disease and cheatgrass. Reports at the Pendleton Ex periment Station annual field day, Tuesday, while far from conclusive, held a ray of hope for wheat grawers plagued by these pests. About 125 persons attended the field day and in spected research plots where trials are underway. M. M. Oveson, superintendent of the station, which is a branch of Oregon State University Ag ricultural Experiment Station, said stripe rust and cheatgrass control have taken high priority in the research program during the past two years and expand ed research is planned for the coming year. Researchers at the station are attacking stripe rust on two fronts: through chemical con trol of the disease and through breeding resistant varieties. Use of chemicals on an ex perimental basis this year show ed considerable promise, report ed Donald W. George, research agronomist, who said the ulti mate goal is to find a one-shot chemical treatment that is ac ceptable to . the Federal Food and Drug Administration. Most effective chemical this year was an experimental com pound, Stauffer N-3412, that save good rust control when ap plied at two pounds per care in April. It is not yet available commercially, nor has it been cleared by FDA for use on food and feed crops. Another material, Dithane S-31 a mixture of nickle sulfate and the fugicide Maneb was effective only when application was repeated three to four times. Preliminary success with breeding stripe rust resistance into Omar wheat, now very sus ceptible to the disease, was re ported by Charles R. Rohde, cer ial crops scientist at the station. Rohde is optimistic that a train having Omar's yield and milling qualities, coupled with resistance to both stripe rust and smut, will be available in two years. While it won't equal Gaines wheat in yield, it may have a place in lower rainfall areas where Gaines is not well suited.. Among the common varieties, Gaines winter wheat and Idaed 59 spring wheat are susceptible to striped rust prior to boot staee, but are moderately re- sistant during the after the late boot stage. Rohde has conducted trials and catalogued most common varieties on their susceptibility to the disease. Only Brevor showed high resistance, coupled with resistance to smut. Other one-time favorites such as El mar, Elkin, and Orfed are sus ceptible; and Itana and Colum bia rated highly susceptible in the trials. Among other spring wheats, Federation is susceptible and Lemhi 53 is highly susceptible, yielding about 25 to 28 bushels compared to about 35 bushels for Idaed 59 after being infected with stripe rust. Promising new crops for the area under study at the station and reported by Agronomist Laurn Beutler include Lenore winter flax that survived the winter very well when seeded in September.. He said plants were in full flower a month ear lier than spring planted flax and might provide an economical crop on dryland in the region if it maintains a history of winter hardiness. Spring planted crops that show promise for the area in trials at the station include seed flax, mustard and rape, lentils, and safflower. A project of major interest at the branch station is continuing research to find a chemical that will give selective control of cheatgrass in grain. At present, no herbicide has been consis tently effective and safe under field conditions, said branch station scientist Arnold P. Appleby. Appleby also reviewed research if 4 L J ) ' qs j i I j li,w, -. i. i . -as l..,,iil,) k:..rm:M,m Over The Tee Cup "THIS LITTLE PIG goes to market . . . several months from now," Representative Stafford Hansell explains to Gloria Last, queen of the Umatilla county fair, which will be Auqust 14-17.

After showing little pigs to the queen and court, Mr. and Mrs. Hansell served baked ham for dinner.

HEPPNER CLEANERS PHONE 676-9441 trials on chemical summer fal low with combination materials that are giving effective weed control most of the summer. Here, again, the major target is cheatgrass that forms a sod dur ing winter and early spring, making it difficult for farmers to follow a stubble-mulch fal low program for erosion control. The researcher said a combin ation spray of six-tenth pound of atrazine and one pound of amitrol per acre applied in Feb ruary gave excellent weed con trol through most of the sum mer. Another treatment designed to knock down weed growth in a winter fallow program was a combination of one pound of amitrol and two pounds of 2-4-D applied in early February. Other research projects under way at the station include types of tillage and rates of fertilizers reported by Ovason and T. R. Horning, USDA agricultural en gineer. Tests to determine the maxi mum level of nitrogen to which winter wheat will respond ec onomically under common til lage practices were reviewed by Oveson. Tillage methods are moldboard plow, ' one-way disk, and the sweep, with nitrogen applied at rates ranging from 40 to 160 pounds per acre for each of the three methods. Horning has an eight-year study underway, starting in 1961, to measure effectiveness of deep plowing in areas having clap pan spots some two feet below the soil surface that block roots from deep moisture and retard plant growth. Tests involve plowing about 36 inches deep at a cost of some $25 to $40 an acre to study long-range effects My Neighbors "He'd better watch eut or I'll punch a bunch of random holes in his Data Processing card." By DEE CRIBBLE Well, this has been a golfer's week with many "ups and downs." Naturally, the most "up" was the hole-in-one canned by Marie McQuarrie. She was Clint's partner in opposition to myself and Harlan McCurdy (and it was a tight game) with only one stroke separating the foursome. No. 7 hole seems to be the favorable hole, as all three "honest" hole-in-ones have been there (the other two being made by Gordon Pratt and Judge Carmichael.) Speaking of Judge, he had the most "down" game. He and Don Turner were playing Monday, each had a small boy caddy. Things weren't going smoothly for Judge, then his caddy caught a wheel of his cart on the bridge and into the creek went the whole "biz" cart, clubs, and caddy. Glad to report ALL clubs, cart and caddy are back on dry land. But Judge was "shook" and had a dreary round. Cheer up, Judge, better days are in sight and more golfers, I hear, are now "par-ring" the course. Fran cis Doherty and Maurice Brown are the newest. Seems to me the young 'uns are having a "ball" on our course, and are very well man nered. Tuesday, when the gals went all out for "Velma Day" 19 turned out, with Donna McCurdy and Marie McQuarrie in charge. Lunch was chick-n-baskets at the Wishing Well lunch room, and Velma (Glass) was present ed a gift from the gals. We're sorry to lose Velma from our city. Better stay healthy, since our health nurse is moving away. Playing Tuesday were Lucille Brown, Lucile Peck, Corkie Nor ene, Helen Schaffitz, Cora Mae Ferguson, Kay Robinson, Jan Agee, Roberta Dougherty, Lois Hunt, Bebe Munkers, Hazel Ma honey, Marie McQuarrie, Vi Lan ham, Hester Creswick, Leslie Meador, Velma Glass and my self. Vi had low gross and Helen Schaffitz won the prize for low est number of putts. Golfers can thank Francis Do herty for the new tee-off plat forms and new oiled sand on the greens. How about that guy spent his vacation working at the golf course. A big Hepp ner thank you is in order. Incidentally there were nearly as many caddies as gals out Tuesday. Heard they were easy to get along with, too. Mr. and Mrs. Hillard Brown and daughter Ginger returned Sunday after a week's vacation to Vista, Calif., where they vis ited another daughter, Mrs. Bev erly Mellin, son-in-law and three grandchildrenThey report a very enjoyable time.
