Weed Conference Proposes New Law Aimed at Control t.ob, cioselv for infestations of well and purple or blue mus tard. Cromwell has teen found in this fall's planting. The chemical bromoxynil. sold as material Brominil or Buctril, gives excellent control when ap plied when gromwell and blue mustard are small. Where these are problems grain yields are reduced drastically. Bromoxynil is safer to u.e o; seedling " grains than 2.4-D, MCPA or dicamba iBanvel D An investment in control goes a long way towards assuring a crop. Riis was proved last year at le;.s-t one large field in the eoun'y. Blue mustard was controlled with bromoxynil. For additional information about materials, timing, and rates, ask for the new recom mendations for "Weed Control in Small Grains" available in a fact sheet at the County Ex tension office. A panel of specialists has op ened the hood on Oregon's 30-year-old weed law in prepara tion for a major overhaul by the 1969 state legislature. A draft of the new law to en force control of certain noxious weeds was discussed at the 15th annual Oregon Weed Conference in Portland. If passed by the legislature, it would replace the present enabling act of 1937. Rex Warren, Oregon State University extension farm crops specialist, told the 200 growers, chemical industry representa tives and researchers, that the old law had done a fairly good job, but is outdated for present day conditions. He said the two main weak nesses of the present law are that it isn't strong enough and that there never has been any state regulatory' agency tied in to the law. The counties and lo cal weed districts have been left to shift for themselves. Warren explained that 30 of Oregon's 36 counties now have weed control districts, but they range from districts with full time weed supervisors and budgets of over $10,000 to those with a very small part time pro gam. . The specialist said the new law would do more to control the spread of perennial weeds and keep foreign weeds from becoming established in the state. George Moose, head of the State Department of Agricul ture's inspection office, said that the new law would auth orize the department to hold hearings in the counties to de termine the need for control districts and the type of weeds to be controlled. The department also would set qualification standards for weed supervisors, examine and train weed control personnel, and assist counties in actual weed control work. The state would have the additional au thority to step in and do the job if necessary. Economists estimate that un controlled weeds cause Oregon farmers to lose more than $5 million a year through crop yield losses, livestock deaths and reduced quality. The group elected J. D. Ver tees of Roseburg, Douglas coun ty extension agent, president. C. H. Plagmann of Albany was named vice-president and War ren and Clark Amen of Corval lis were reelected secretary and treasurer, respectively. Two new directors named at the conference are Bill Johnson of The Dalles, Eastern Oregon, and Walter B. McEhlaney of Sublimity, Western Oregon. The conference is expected to be held in Salem next year. Grand Champion Honors at Sale To Wagenblast Livestock honors came again to Steve Wagenblast on Satur dav December 3, when his Polled Hereford female won grand champion honors at the annual Oregon Polled Hereford Association's annual sale in Portland. The open class sale is for top class stock that will be used for breeding purposes. Wagenblast's grand champion was sold to Dr. Gordon Higon son of Portland for $730. Re serve champion female was owned by E. Justin Snyder of Enterprise. Grand champion polled Here ford bull was owned by De wayne Fleet of Island City, bringing $650. Reserve champ ion bull was entered by Wal do Hill Farms of Salem. Don Robinson, also of Hepp ner, showed choice polled heif ers, with one placing first in the vearling winter class. Last spring the Gazette-Times printed a letter from Gran'. November ' Carter, son of Mrs. tin lie i.rosn- I ens, Heppner. toning now me I men on his aircraft carrier, the Yorktovvn, enjoyed mail and how little mall they received from home. Second graders in rooms of Mrs. Anita Stockard and Mrs. Lucile Peck at Heppner Klemen tarv. drew pictures and wrote eiters to send to the orktovvn to cheer up the sailors on their tour of duly in the Pacific. Kecentlv a package came to Mrs. Peek and Mrs. Men Kara in answer to the children's contri- utions. Carter., besides writing a letter ot appreciation ana in formation, sent a portfolio of larce Dictures showing Uie York tovvn and its escorting ships and planes and a booklet of pictures and information about the car rier. I think there was some con fusion as to the kind of ship the Yorktovvn is. judging by the questions asked and pictures drawn." Carter wrote, and pro ceeded to explain the size and some interesting facts about the Yorktovvn. "We have more men aboard our ship than there are people in the entire town of Heppner." was one fact which impressed the children. And they were in terested to read that the ship had stores, shops, radio and tel evision stations, churches, the atres, a police force and a fire department. Another paragraph went on to describe some ot me iori town's activities on its Far East Cruise: ' When we weren't in port we wore patrolling the waters just off the coast of Vietnam look ing for enemv submarines and fishing junks that shoot at our airplanes. We also rescued sev eral pilots that had been shot down over the ocean." Africa Film Enjoyed A National School Assembly entertained Heppner Element ary school students Friday af ternoon, December 2. Speaker was George Wilhelm who lec tured and showed a film. "Riv ers of Fire and Ice," which was taken on a 25.000 mile trip through Africa and the Congo.
