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.

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).
