Spray Program Used for Moths Pvt. Jim Doherty is being trained at a four week pole-lineman school at Camp Pendleton, Calif. Doherty is the son of Paul Doherty. Repeated applications of the pesticide Sevln may be the an swer to a method for control of the European pine snoot moth without destroying Infested trees. The Oregon Department of Agriculture has been a partici pant In two spray programs for control of the moth this year. In both Instances it now ap pears the four consecutive ap plications of the spray have been quite effective. However, Bill Kosesan. an assistant chief in the Plant Division of the do partment, says success of the program cannot be evaluated until sometime in September, One place where the spray was used Is In the approximate ly 15 by 16 mile square area in northwest Umatilla county where the moth was found in privatie plantings of pines in the fall of 1967. It was designated as a con trol area and the spray program started in May of this year in olantings at Hermiston, Umatil la and McNary Manor. The last, and fourth, application of the spray was made in early July. Pines in plantings at McNary Dam were not included in the pray program. Here the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Ex periment Station of the U. S. Forest Service is carrying on a research program that includes use of chemical attractants, par asite releases and trapping. Participants in the spray pro gram besides the department aie he Oregon State Department of Forestry and the U. S. Forest Service. A commercial pesticide applicator firm did the spray work under a contract. Private home plantings in an area in Portland, where 115 in fested trees were found last spring, are under the second spray program, which was start ed in June. Here not only the infested trees but 798 other trees were give four applications of Sevin. The pesticide for this project was furnished by several Ore gon nurserymen. The Oregon Department of Agriculture, Ore gon State Department of Forest ry and U. S. Forest Service sup plied the equipment and men to do the spraying.

RANCHER- WE HAVE COMPLETE TIRE SERVICE FOR TRUCKS, COMBINES AND ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT Steps taken by Oregon to in itiate a coordinated livestock Identification program for the states of Idaho, Washington Oregon, California and Nevada were lauded during a July 10- 11 meeting of the Western Reg ion Directors of Agriculture at Ocean Shores, Wash. Oregon's Director of Agricul ture Walter Leth organized the meeting, which was held at Olympia, Wash,, prior to the meeting at Ocean Shores. The Olympia meeting had two goals, elimination of duplicate inspec tion of animals moving across state lines and an identification system that would enable a traceback of a diseased animal to the farm of origin Leth, who chairmaned the meeting, reported that through exchange of information and discussions at the session the states learned they had few ma jor problems facing them in working out coordinated programs. I Oregon, he said, may arrange to have inspectors at the live stock auction market at Walla Walla and eliminate inspection required on animals leaving the state if those animals are going directly to the Walla Walla auction. Washington already follows this pocedure on ani mals from that state going to the Portland market. Leth not ed that this system would prob ably strengthen the position of livestock auction markets en couraging more people to use their services and indirectly of fering one of the best systems of theft prevention. At these markets ownership of animals must be definitely established. Leth, who was a member of the resolutions committee for the Western Region Directors of Agriculture conference, said the directors, in addition to com- said an additional elevator would be opened here sometime this week. Early reports from the Hepp- ner-Ruggs area shows good quality wneat. Munkers said. Grades coming back from wheat already received are real good, ne saiu.
