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.

"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.
The occasion was a dinner and swim party at the Hansell
Brothers pig ranch on route 30 near Hermiston Saturday evening.
After showing little pigs to the queen and court, Mr. and Mrs.
Hansell served baked ham for dinner. (Lyons Photo)

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

"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.
