HEPFNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thuwdor. Jum 80. 1961 Elm and Cherry Pests Controlled By New Sprays By GENE WINTERS County Extension Agent Two common problems of elm trees nre caused by insects Properly timed sprays using the correct snrav materials will al most eliminate these Insect problems. The most common Insect prob lem on elm trees Is caused by the Kim Leaf Beetle. This beet le can be found feeding on the leaves now. It is about one-quar ter inch long, yellow green in color, and has two black stripes alone its back. The beetles lay eggs in late May and early June. Those eggs hatch In about u week and the newly hatched black larvae can be found feeding on the lower side of the leaves. When full grown, the larvae is about one half inch long, dull yellow In color with two black stripes down its back. The larvae ma ture In about four weeks, pup ate, and reappear as adults to start the life cycle once again. The other Insect pest of elm trees is the European Kim Scale. This scale appears on the under side of the twigs and branches of elm trees as a dark reddish brown oval about one eighth of an inch long. It has a fringe of a waxy white material around it. This scale weakens the tree and causes many dead branch es to occur In the tree. The exact spray schedule you follow to rid your tree of these pests will depend on how im portant the tree Is to you. For maximum control of the elm leaf beetle, Sevin should be ap plied when the beetle appears In April or May and In July. Good control is obtained by one application of Sevin when the larvae first appears (now). This means you will have some leaf damage by the early feeding of the beetle. However, this dam age is small when compared to the damage done by the larvae feeding. Sevin is available as a 50 wettable powder and should be used at a rate of two pounds to 100 gallons of water or two tablespoons to a gallon of wa ter. The European elm scale can be controlled bv using a 4 dor mant oil spray before the buds swell in the spring. Control can also be obtained by adding mal athion (57 E. C, one table spoon per gallon of water) or diazinon (25 E. C, two table spoons per gallon of water) to the bevin spray in June. A sec ond spray using malathion or diazinon may need to be ap plied two weeks after this first spray for complete control. Cherry trees should be spray ed now for control of Cherry Fruit Fly. This is the fly that lays the eggs that develop into the worms. Diazinon, Methoxychlor, or Sevin should be applied at ten day intervals to control this in sect. Use Diazinon at the rate of 1 toaspoonful of the 25 emulsion concentrate to a gal lon of water. Use the methoxy chlor or sevin at the rate of two tablespoons of the 50 wet table powder to a gallon of wa ter. Wait ten days after applying Diazinon, seven days after ap plying Methoxychlor, or one day after applying Sevin before you harvest the cherries. These spray applications mi't be timely and thorough for good results. Spray the foliage of surrounding plants as well as the cherry foliage, as the fly rests on these surrounding plants. Respray if a heavy rain occurs. frr '.':Ai f '."' i ; v ; Morrow County CHOP-WEATHER SUMMARY (Compiled by U. S.

Change Announced On Price Support For 1968 Wheat A modification in the price support program for 19G8-crop wheat has been announced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This year, a rarmer may gei a loan on wheat delivered to country warehouses ' without first obtaining grade and pro tein determinations. As explained by David Mc Leod, manager, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Office, current price support regulations provide that when wheat is stored in or de livered to approval warehouses, official grade and protein (hard wheat) determinations are re quired. The revised price-support reg ulations will eliminate the re quirements pertaining to such determinations of grade and protein for 1968-crop wheat de livered to country warehouses for loan, for loan settlements, and for purchases. However, any producer who wishes may re quest and get the official grade and protein determinations. This should reduce marketing costs as well as simplify and speed up the loan making and settlements. Yet all interested parties will be protected, Mc Leod said. The Uniform Grain Storage Agreement (USSA) is being re vised, to become effective July 1. 1968, so that its provisions will conform to the changes being made in the price-support regulations. County Rates Are Announced For 1968 Crops Quarter Horse Tune-up Day Set A Tune-up Day has been planned bv the Columbia Bas in Quarter Horse Association for Sunday, June 26. Directors of the association Invite everyone by saying "If ou own a quarter horse, come have fun wth us". The associa tion sponsors the Tune-up Day with no charge to enter the classes. Ribbons will be given to three places. The afternoon program will start at 1:00 p.m. at the Uma tiila County Fair Grounds, Her miston. Gary Barney. Hermiston well known horse trainer will be the judge. The schedule of classes In clude three in halter for mares, geldings, stallions of all ages; western pleasure; bit reining; pole bending; barrel racing; hackamore reining; and western riding. Tune-up days are also plan ned for Heppner on July 28 and for Pendleton on September 8. The county price-support rate for lOGK-crop wheat has been set at $1.28 per bushel, David McLeod, manager. Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County office, has announced "The county rate reflects the national average farm loan rate of $1.25 per bushel, which is the same as for the 1967 crop," the manager said, but it also gen erally reflects the relationships between historical prices receiv ed by farmers and the support rate for the terminal market area serving this county." In general, the loan rates In counties tributary to the term inals will reflect any terminal rate changes . Rates in some counties, because freight rate changes were not uniform in range and amount in the affect ed areas, will vary slightly up or down from the 1967 levels. Generally, the rate changes are: an increase of 1 cent per bushel from last year for Miss ouri River, California, Northwest, and Gulf Port terminals; and a reduction of 1 cent per bushel for East Coast, Central and South Central terminals. The Pacific Northwest Terminals are unchanged. County wheat growers may get price-support loans or be el igible for CCC purchases by not exceeding their 1968 allotments and carrying out other provis ions of the 1968 wheat program, McLeod said. Participation in the program also qualifies grow ers for marketing certificates on the part of their wheat allocated for domestic consumption. Certificates for the 1908 crop will be based on 40 percent of the farm's projected production of wheat on the farm allotment. Certificates have a cash value equal to the difference between parity and the national average loan rate of $1.25 per bushel, thus returning to the participat ing wheat grower 100 percent of parity on his domestic wheat allocation. ' (The domestic certif icate for the 1967 wheat crop amounted to $1.36 per bushel).
