Nordheim, Morrow County Extension Agent. Selenium, a trace mineral, can now be added to cattle diets under certain conditions. The soil in Eastern Oregon is quite low in this mineral, ' thereby the plants grown on this soil are also low in selenium. Animals in this region tend to be deficient in selenium. Selenium deficiencies are widespread in Eastern Ore gon.

Selenium deficiency is linked to Stiff Lamb Di sease, another muscle pro blem. Selenium is also in volved in maintenance of cell membranes. There is some evidence that selenium may be involved as a deficiency in calf scours (diarrhea), defec tive sperm, still-births, and may be helpful in protecting against cancer. The American Feed Manu facturers Association applied to FDA for approval of selenium in the diets of farm animals, beginning with pigs and chickens. Approval for selenium use in the diets of pigs and chickens was granted in 1974. Sheep were approved last year and finally this year on January 26, beef and dairy cattle were added. In granting approval for selenium's use, FDA allowed it to be added to feed, injected or put into salt mixes. The type of method a farmer chooses depends on whether animals are fed in a confined operation such as a dairy barn or a chickenhouse, or kept on the range. Selenium does need to be treated with care because the required level is relatively close to the toxic level, according to Nordheim. Forest Supervisor H.B. Ru dolph announced today plans for vegetation control projects on Umatilla National Forest lands. These plans are subjects of environmental assessment re ports which consider several alternatives for control of noxious weed and highway roadside vegetation. Selection . of chosen alternatives will be made about June 1, 1979 following a 30 day notice in the Federal Register. Some of the alternatives would utilize various chemical herbicides. These are Kar mex, Krovar I, Weedone 170 and Krenite for control of roadside vegetation. Projects are by the Oregon State Highway Division along 34.5 miles of state highways 204 and 244 in Union and Umatilla counties, 207 in Morrow and Wheeler counties, and U.S. 395 in Grant County; where these highways cross National For est lands. Roundup and Pi cloram may be used for noxious weed control by the U.S. Forest Service or County weed control districts. Forest Service noxious weed control projects are located in numerous small spots ranging from .01 acre to 45 acres. Ten acres are on the Pomeroy Ranger District in Asotin,' Columbia, Garfield and Wa llowa counties. Sixty acres are on the Walla Walla Ranger District in Union County, and five acres on the Heppner. Ranger District in Morrow, Wheeler and Grant counties. All of the herbicides are registered by the E.P.A. for the intended use. Some concern has been ex pressed about protection of nearby habitat important for wildlife, fish or non-target plant species. The proposed treatment provides for mea sure such as careful and controlled application, low toxicity of selected herbicides, buffer or non-treatment areas, and certified applications so that adjacent habitat will not be affected.
