Columbia Basin

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.
Lamar Makes
Dam Report
Lamar Crosby executive
assistant to Senator Bob Pa-
ckwood called Monday to
report on his last visit about
Willow Creek Dam.
In visiting with the Corps
of Enigneers he felt there
was a greater urgency on
construction of the dam than
on previous visits he had
made. The Corps was com
plimentary on the support the
community has given for the
need of such a dam. They
noted the support everyone
had given for the need of
such a dam. They noted the
support everyone had given
in cleaning up the mess after
the May 1971 food. They re
cognized the efforts of the
community In the formation of
a Water Control District.
Plans call for a final ex
ploration, checking design
and final information needed
prior to the actual construc
tion of the dam.

bign up day
Today (Thursday) from I
p.m. to S) p.m. Is the day
to sign up for grasshopper
spraying. 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.
Swimming starts
The coolness of the week
end banished swimming from
the minds of many so the sign

Miss Orwick would ask any

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.
