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job, but is outdated for present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."
