HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. April 11. 1968 County Agent's Office Selective Study Uriged In Using Weed Chemicals By CENE WINTERS County Extension Agent Wheat growers have more and bettor herbicides available to them than ever before. Most of the newer weed killing chemi cals have more exacting times of application for satisfactory re sults. Nearly all of the newer herbicides registered for weed control In wheat have been de veloped to take care of the weeds, which 2,4-D hasn't been able to handle. Growers need to know more about weeds and herbicides to make the most economic use of chemical weed control measures. Most herbicides or weed kill ers in common use are selective In action. Selective herbicides re fer to a chemical that is more toxic to one plant than to an other. When such a herbicide la applied to a mixture of plants, some may be killed and others may be affected only slightly or not at all. Selectivity is based upon spe cific factors Involved in the physical and chemical makeup of the plant. Herbicides used In Morrow county for control of weeds In wheat have shown selectivity under research trials In the area Stage of weed growth is the most Important consideration when choosinc a herbicide. In general, 2,4-D controls most annual mustards, pigweed lambs quarter, bachelors button fiddleneck (tarweed), and most buttercups. These weeds not adequately controlled are pur ple mustard, gromwell, honbit little bur, duckweeds, and 111 are. MCPA controls most purple mustards, pigweeds, lambs quarter, and most buttercups. but does not give satisfactory control of fiddleneck and those listed as unsatisfactory under 2A u. bromoxynil controls such weeds as jjromwell, fiddleneck (tarweed), blue (purple must ard), most annual mustards lambs quarter, pigweed, and knotweed. Weeds not controlled are tansy mustard, jagged cnicKweed, and mare. Grain Movement Slows in March Grain inspections made by the Oregon Department of As riculture in March were below those of February of this year, but above those for March, 19G7. Incoming grain inspected at Portland and Astoria totaled 290,101 tons compared with 323 116 tons this February and 217, 457 tons In March a year ago. A total of 257,160 tons of grain were weighed and inspected for export this March and in Febru ary 296,031 tons were weighed and inspected. The figure for March, 1967, was 205,342 tons. At Pendleton 7,380 tons of in coming grain were weighed and inspected during March, and 18, 180 tons inspected and diverted. Merrill had 5,571 tons weighed and diverted. Wheat is Seized By Ag Department A truckload of wheat arriving in Portland from Fairfield, Ida ho, has been seized by the Ore gon Department of Agriculture because it was found to contain wheat treated with mercury. Allen G. Plummer, chief of the aepartmont s grain division, said the grain will be released only for use as seed or to be des troyed. Involved are 53,830 pounds. The department also seized some 45 tons of wheat trucked into the state from California and that was found to contain bird droppings. This is being heat treated and will then be released for use as animal feed. Dicamba (Banvel D) Rives adequate control of sucn 2,4-D resistant weeds as corn cockle, cow cockle, and knotweed, but weeds such as mustards, tar weed, and gromwell have shown resistance. Dicamba, plus 2,4-D provides a wider selection oi control. Other mixtures are be coming more popular. Timing of applications have much to do with control accom plished. MCPA. 2,4-D, and Di camba spraying should be de layed until the winter wheat has at least 5 leaves or three to four tillers and a fairly strong root system. Bromoxynil should be applied after all the weeds have emerged and are still small. Cereals are tolerant at all stages of growth of bromoxynil up through the boot stage. Treating small grains before the five leaf stage will usually cause reduced yields, many mal formations of the head, onion leaves, and general stunting of I tne plant, small grains are sus ceptible to 2,4-D damage from the start of the jointing stage through the flowering stage. Spotty stands of grain may be a serious source of weed seeds in future years unless treated. Little or no crop com petition favors weed growth and resulting seed set. County Court Proceedings Ordir!

Sup - 50.50 Ag and Forestry Hold Growth Key, Walter Leth Says Great growth opportunities for Oregon agricultural and forest ry industries lie in the develop ment of the blessings we al ready have. Walter Leth director of the Oregon Department of Agricul ture. stressed this at the OSU sponsored conference in Port land March 28 on growth oppor tunities in agriculture and for estrv based businesses. The creation of lobs based on enhancement and stability of forestry and agriculture will have the greatest impact on the general economy of the state, Leth declared. New .Iods are ere ated indirectly as well as dir ectlv from new growth and de velopment In these two basic industries. He urged careful and intense management of these renewable resources and pointed out that future growth depends upon re search along this line as well as In production and marketing to broaden the product mix. He sueeested that in further devei opment of the forestry industry research could he applied to ut ilization of fertilization and lr rieation wheh has done so much for aerculture. For agriculture itself, Leth pointed to the need for planned and use and conservation ot prime farm land to provide op portunities for elated industrial growth. Water, too, is most im portant to the luture agricultur al Growth. He sees development in the processing of food and timber products as the ma.lor opportun itv for industrial growth and vi tal to Oregons long range economy. Not to be overlooked, Leth said, is the bonus value agn culture and forestry offer to Ore gon because they provide in creasingly enjoyable and aesth etic environment for the people of our state."
