CE RCOSPOR E LL A FOOT ROT
Wheat growers have been hearing quite a bit about
Cercosporella foot rot, also called Columbia Basin Foot Rot,
or Strawbreaker, the past two weeks. Growers should be
aware that Cercosporella foot rot is not common in Morrow
County. I recently sampled early seeded fields from
Hardman to lrrigon and only one field was Infected above the
50 per cent level which is suggested as the level which control
can be Justified. This was in the Hardman area. The disease
occurs at higher elevations where the climate is cool and wet,
and usually only in wheat seeded before September 20.
The most common foot rot In Morrow County Is Fusarium
root rot, a disease associated with drought or plants under
moisture stress, which is not controlled by this chemical. If a
grower feels he may have Cercosperella foot rot, plants
should be collected and sent to a laboratory for positive
identification. Contact the Extension office if you feel you
may have a problem.
The chemical recently cleared for controlling Cercospo
rella foot rot Is Benlate. Benlate can be applied either by air
or ground t a rate of 1 lb. per acre before March 31.
Approximately cost of the material is around $9.50 per acre.

James G. and Catherine
Doherty's Family
James G. Doherty of County
Donegal, Ireland, left his
childhood home at 16 and set
out to make his fortune in the
new world. Many of his
countrymen had proceeded
him during the earlier
immigrations brought on by
the terrible potato famines of
1845-46.
Young James G. was armed
only with the expectancy of
opportunity when he boarded
the steamer Encoria and
crossed the ocean to New York
City where he disembarked
Oct. 8, 1883. He stayed Just
long enough to get his
bearings and be directed to
Oregon.
He, along with other Irish
emigrant lads, had a
benefactor in Eastern Oregon,
Charles Cunningham, a
sheepman who had started
making his fortune in
Umatilla County In 1869. After
a brief working and learning
period with Cunningham,
James G. Doherty struck out
into the sheep business for
himself, first near Butter
Creek, and then in Black
Horse Canyon, a dry-bed
canyon running northeasterly
for about nine miles from
Lexington to a point
intersecting with Sandhollow.
On July 6, 1893, he married
Catherine Doherty, whose
parents were both Dohertys

before their mamage. There
was no doubt in any minds
that James and Catherin's
children were all Doherty's as
they reared 13 children, who
made their Black Horse ranch
a busy place during their
growing years.
The Doherty family story
continues with the usual toil,
birth, death, happiness and
sorrows. Presently living on
the family ranch are Bernard
and Jerry (formerly Mary
Jane Casteel), their daughter
Martha and son, Tony, who is
purchasing and farming the
adjoining Rufus Piper place."
Dennis and his family will be
living there in ihe renewed,
old house which they . are
buying from Tony. Doherty
offsprings have contributed to
Morrow County's growth and
development.
If James G. and Catherine
Doherty Doherty were to
count their descendents today,
they would find over 44 grand
children, at least 96 great
grandchildren, and a growing
number of great-great-grands.
And to be sure by this
coming St. Patrick's Day they
could only feel amazement
and pride in viewing the
Dohertys, many with
university degrees and some
with special talents, who have
been born since their 1893
marriage.
