This week Norman Goetze Extension Farm Crops Special ist, and Myron Shenk will be in the county meeting with the staff of Morrow County Grain Growers to set up the local co operator's grain grading survey. Shenk, a graduate student at OSU, will conduct the survey. The purpose of the project is to determine what changes, if any, take place in wheat when it Is stored or handled, and, is wheat from some areas affected more by storage and handling than from other areas. The project will run for three years in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho with about 30 repre sentative grain elevators partic ipating. Grain samples of wheat received at elevators will be taken. Samples will be taken in rail cars when the grain is un loaded at the terminal. Grain samples will be tested in the state grain grading laboratories. Inbound grades will be compar ed to outbound grades. The project is aimed at help ing producers and dealers solve future marketing problems. The Pacific Northwest Grain Dealers Association and the Oregon, Washington and Idaho Wheat Commissions will provide 80 percent of the states' $5,000 for the project. ture's Consumer and Marketing Service matches the states funds with So.000. Chemical Sprays Help Control Troublesome Weeds Two trouble some summer weeds are making themselves known and should be control led. Field sandbur can be control led with mast non-selective con tact materials. Two to three quarts of Diniro general plus 10 to 20 gallons of diesel oil in 60 to 80 gallons of water per acre or one gallon of Amitrole-T plus spreader sticker in 60 to 80 gal lons of water per acre are ef fective when plants are seed lings. Shallow tillage where possible is effective. Puncture vine can be control led with chemical sprays such as 2,4-D or mechanical means such as pulling, hoeing, or oth er cultivation methods or by burning. By BLANCHE McDANIEL HARDMAN.
