Early applica tion of 2,4 D has Riven better broad leaf control In eeneraL but has damned young wheat plants more than commonly believed. The development of bromoxy nil and its recent Federal regis tration provides a material (bro mlnil, Buctril I with several ad vantages over 2,4 D and dlcam ba (Banvel D for broadleaf weed control In wheat and bar ley. It can be applied at an earlier stage of cereal growth and will not cause distortion and reduc tion of yield when used ill" H-c-ommended rates. Eromoxynil has given excel lent control of fiddleneck (tar weed) in a wide variety of areas tried. Martin Zimmerman reports Hide Industry Seeks Changes r cail Mccarty Cattle hides without brand sears this Is what the hide in duxtry would like. On the oth er hand, cattlemen need their brands for Identification of their animals. This has long been problem. However, hide dealers are complaining louder now about hot iron brands due to large exports of hides to Japan Projects are now being car rled on to find other methods of applying brands. A brand makes its permanent mark by causing a warping or dislocation of the hair follicles. The new hair growth on this area grows at a different angle from the natural hair. This Is the part we see on the outside. Washington State University is trying a project which freez es Instead of burns. This would discolor the hair and the hide but would not damage the hide.

Dr. O. J. RcdTorsoo Assigned to Oregon The U. S. Department of Ag ricultures Animal Health Divis ion has Just announced the ap pointment of Dr. O. J. Halvor son as veterinarian in charge of Oregon for the department. He replaces Dr. A. G. Beagle who fence rowk is like putting .,red n Def?bf1 screens on ail tne windows in the house except one the flies are bound to get back in. Four chemicals recommended by Oregon State University for controlling undesired plants In fence rows are hyvar X. atra zine. simazine and amitrole. Three of them, hyvar, atra zine and simazine are soil ster ilants which will kill all plants and new seedlings cannot safe ly be made for approximately two years. On the other hand while ami trole (Amino Triazole, Weedazo, Amitrole T, Cytrol) also effects all plants, the residual effect is short and usually only those growing at the time of treat ment are affected. There are practically no residual soil ef fects and grass seedings can be made in amitrole treated areas in about 30 days. This would permit the seed ing of crested wheatgrass where desired as a weed competitor. The suggested rates for the soil sterilants are four to six pounds of hyvar X and from 6 to 8 pounds of simazine or atrazine per acre. Best results have been gained in eastern Oregon by treating November th r o u g h March. I If treatments are made late in the season when plants are more than four inches tall, Ami trole T at the rate of two quarts per acre should be added to the sterilant. Two miles of four foot wide fence rows makes about one acre of land. A native of Montana.
