part of the fanning operation, though my job
doesn't really stop there. Fact is, I'm as
concerned with growing conditions and results
as you are. So, when I make fertilizer

Weed Handbook Out
The 1964 Oregon weed control
handbook is out. While this has
been used mainly as a reference
book by chemical dealers and
applicators, it does contain all of
the up-to-date recommendations
for any type of weed control
imaginable. It covers selective
control of weeds in field crops,
including cereals, grass seed and
legumes, peppermint, sugar
beets, potatoes, seed flax and
pastures; horticulture weeds, in
cluding vegetable crops, small
fruits, orchards, ornamentals and
nursery; turf, home gardens, soil
fumigants, plant growth regula
tors, acquatic weed control,
chemicals for pre-harvest drying
of seed crops, forest and range
weed control, weed and brush
control along highways, road
sides and fence lines, irrigation,
drainage canals and soil ster
ilants. It contains a list of the
physical properties of herbicides
and contains useful tables for
determining rates of application
and calibration. The handbook is
revised each year and is avail
able from the OSU Bookstore at
Corvallis for $3.00.
Frank Aughnay Dies
Many wheat growers who have
had associations with Frank
Aughnay will be sorry to hear
of his death. Mr. Aughnay, who
lor many years was manager of
the Pacific Northwest Grain and
Grain Products association, died
suddenly on March 26. He was
in Seattle to appear at an I.C.C.
hearing. Mr. Aughnay was a
dedicated public servant and has
been responsible for holding
down increased freight rates of
farm commodities in the area.
It will be hard to replace a man
that has understood so well the
complicated freight rate regu
lations and kept up with their
application and effect on the
economy of our area.

recommended application is Ve

At the Vs pound per acre rate
of Banvel D, one quart will spray

that has been causing some prob

Preliminary estimates place
Oregon's 1963 cash receipts from
farm marketings at approxi
mately $426 million, down $10
million, or 2, from 1962. This
figure does not include direct
government payments. Livestock
accounted for around $191 mil
liondown nearly 5. Crop re
ceipts, at $235 million, were off
only a shade. Production expen
ses on Oregon's farms in 1963
are not yet available. Such ex
penses add up to better than
$363 million in 1962, the highest
of record. Nationally, production
expenses are estimated to have
climbed about 2 last year.

Machine Aids Wheat Use
Joe Spiruta, director of the Del
hi office of Western Wheat As
sociates, reports in his latest
news letter progress of develop
ing a chappatti-making mach
ine. Chappattis are the basic
North Indian bread that use a
lot of Burt wheat from the Pa
cific Northwest. One company
that manufactures a machine
that makes a Mexican tortilla
has volunteered to try its equip
ment using cliappatti dough. The
introduction of such a machine
into India could have a very sig
nificant influence in the consum
ption of wheat taking most of
the labor out of the preparation
of the chappatii for which Burt
wheat is so well adapted.
Rust-Free Outlook Good
Prospects for a poor stripe rust
year look good. A summary of
favorable conditions made at the
i Sherman Branch Experiment
Station showed that in conipar
I ison to the IDt'vl crop, we had
J only 'M days of favorable con
ditions last fall compared to 75
j days in (he fall preceding the
i 1!U3 crop. Last year there were
I lit) favorable days in the spring
from the first of March to the
lust of May. To date, we have
had no favorable rust weather.
Favorable rust weather is de
scribed as temperatures between
AO lo 5o degrees and an inch
or move rain per month. There
were some rust infections report
ed to this office last fall. Dr.
