Columbia Basin Electric Makes Improvements June 8 Columbia Basin Electric crews were very busy with a big job at the Sandhollow sub-station. A big 15,000 KVA transformer was used. After much coordina ting between the CoOp.Unia tilla Electric and Bonneville Power, the old transformer was replaced b) the new one. It will double the load capa city and eleviate dancer of overload that might possibly occur during extreme hot weather when load is heavy from irrigating pumps. The Co-op plans to build a new transmission line from lone from lrby Elevator nor th of Olex where the old Sa ndhollow transformer will be used as part of a new sub station to be built. The new Olex substation will eliminate the necessity of this area being furnished power the long distance from Fossil as in the past. It will make possible alternate source of service in case of failure. Co-op crews have been very busy the past few months when time was available eliminat ing the old line on the Hep pner - Lexington Foad and removing the poles. Mr. Robinson said this greatly im proved looks of the area and was accomplished by moving the distribution lines on the same poles as the transmis sion on lines.

Monda) night there were some ' 50,000 acres signed up. The sign up to day will be in the confer ence room of the Gilliam Bisbee Building, across from the County Extension Office. County Agent Harold Kerr said it is essential that the program of signing up be done immediately in order to get in on the government cost sharing program. Contracts for aerial spraying must be let right away. Total cost is about 75 cents per acre and costs the rancher about 25 cents an acre. It was pointed out that if a private individual were to spray on his own, it might cost as much as $3.50 an acre. And if other areas were not County Court adopts land use plan Morrow County Court has adopted the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance. A letter has been sent to the state so stating that the coun ty has complied with the state law that required all coun ties to have a landuse plan by 1972. If the county had failed to do so, the state would have moved in to do it. The Court said there were two reasons why they felt the county should do it themselves. 1. They felt the cost would have been hi gher if the state did it and 2.

I II f f It would assure no more trouble for many years. In one place in the Butter Creek country, there' were so many grasshoppers they couldn't be counted. In some uses they are not easily seen unless a person gets right out Into the fields or rides the range. Grasshoppers in this county have been hatching out since about June 1st. They are now hatching intherangelandsand then start down into the green fields. A female lays from 150 to 450 eggs. We were Informed the sit uation is so serious there might be no fall grasses for pasturing and it might mean early fall feeding of hay. A number of counties in eas tern Oregon are infected this year and several spray pro grams are underway. The spray will not harm birds but kills bees and other Insects. Canada, where the freeze goes down about two feet, has infestations so the cold does not necessarily de stroy too many hoppers. Cold weather at hatching time Is only time of heavy kill of hoppers. Homeowner Hopper Control Grasshoppers have been re ported in some numbers al most everywhere. Home owners have asked how to control them. A good con trol program is difficult be cause they are so mobile, reports HaroldKerr, Morrow Extension Agent. Basically, Malathion at the rate of 1 pound per acre will do a good job of kill ing those in the treated area. Soon, however, others will move in from outside, making retreatment necessary, per haps as ofter as 3 or 4 times to gain the needed de gree of conrol. It might be desirable to treat buffer area around yard and buildings for several hundred feet if possible, by air or boom sprayer. In the immediate yard where a boom sprayer cannot be used apply the chemical at the rate of 4 teaspoons of 57 percent Malathion per 1000 square feet. Vegetables generally should not be eaten for 5 days after treatment. For hay or pasture, there is a 1 day waiting period. Malathion is very unstable and breaks down completely in 3 or 4 days. The larger acreages are sprayed with 8 fluid ounces per acre of VLV Malathion. This material is applied in a pure form under high pres sure which produces small droplets and result is good coverage. THOMAS ORCHARDS call ed this week to put in their first fruit ad of ihe season.
