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.

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.

ner-Ruggs area shows good
