New Federal Act
Boosts Oregon
Water Programs
The new federal water resourc
es act passed by Congress In July
will give an Important and long
range boost to Oregon water de
velopment programs. Including
$75,000 In research funds during
1965.
Spearheading the work In Ore
gon will be the Water Resources
Research Institute at Oregon
State University. It will receive
the federal grants provided by
the new legislation, Governor
Mark Hatfield has informed Sec
retary of Interior Stewart I
tdall.
Ti e federal act appropriates
$75,000 in 19G5 to states with
Water Resources Research Insti
tutes, SS7.500 in 1966 and li67.
and $100,000 each year after that
to promote work on quality and
quantity of water.
The research Is expected to
"provide new and improved ways
of assuring that there will be
water adequate In quantity and
quality to meet the mounting re
quirements of our expanding
population and economy, Udall
informed Governor Hatfield and
OSU President James H. Jensen.
Oregon is one of only a few
states in the nation that already
has a water resources research
Institute, it was noted. The
Water Resources Research Insti
tute at OSU was formed in I960
to coordinate work by scientists
in the Schools of Engineering,
Agriculture, Forestry and Sci
ence.
Currently, there are more than
80 projects underway involving
nearly loo stair members. Presi
dent Jensen reported. The com
bined total of research funds
available for these projects
amounts to about $2,250,000 this
fiscal year. Malcolm Karr is ex
ecutive secretary of the OSU
Water Resources Research Insti
tute.

the evcellent carrying capacity

he seeded this past summer for
temporary pasture. A pea and

excellent stand of Sudan.

Chemical fallow with Atrazine
controls cheatgrass in wheat
NATIONAL 4-H CLUB WEEK
SEP! 26 OCT. 3, 1964
The practice of cfiemical fallow with
Atrazine offers wheat farmers the first
reasonable approach to solving the
cheat problem. A single spray of Vi lb.
of Atrazine BOW per acre is applied in
combination with a contact herbicide
such as amitrole. The application
should be made following adequate
rainfall, after the cheat has emerged
but before January 1st
Weeds emerge and die
Seasonal rains move Atrazine into the
weed root zone. It is absorbed by roots
of the germinating weeds. Soon after
the weeds emerge, their leaves begin
yellowing at the tips. Soon, the weeds
die. The contact herbicide takes care
of weeds which may have already
emerged before your chemical fallow
application is made.
Long-lasting control
This program of chemical fallow with
Atrazine gives outstanding control of
cheat and other annual weeds until
late April or May. At that time, some
tillage will probably be necessary, al
though ranchers this past year report
that only a minimum of tillage was re
quired. At present, Atrazine is tho only se
lective, long-lasting herbicide which
can be applied with reasonable safety.
Be careful about overlap, however,
since a double or triple dose of
Atrazine could adversely affect next
year's stand of wheat. And, don't treat
shallow or sandy soils.
For more information on chemical
fallow with Atrazine, contact your lo
cal pesticide supplier or custom ap
plicator, or write:
