Gootuross ia growing prowem A distant relative of wheat it gaining attention aa a problem for Columbia Basin grain gro wers, according to an Oregon State University scientist. "Cheatgrass, wild oats and annual ryegrass tuuhe a lol more damage, Rut we have chemical controls for them. Goatgrass Is now our number one unsolved weed problem, and It is a growing concern," said Don Hydrych. an agronomist at OSU'a Columbia Basin Agricultural Research Center at Pendleton who is get ting $111,000 this year from the Oregon Wheat Commission to study the weed. "A post emergence herbicide works on cheatgrass. Hut goat grass is so similar to wheat the chemicals that kill it kill wheat, too." said the researcher, ex plaining why the goatgrass problem is hard to solve. Goat grass is so genetically similar to wheat that on rare occasions it crosses with the grain in Oregon fields, producing a sterile, hybrid plant, he noted. Contamination and competition is how goatgrass inflicts eco nomic damage. "If there's too much in wheat the grower can be docked up to 20 cents a bushel by buyers at the grain terminal." said Rydrych. Also, it is "almost impossible" to separate goatgrass kernels from wheat kernels so w heat seed can be certified as pure, he said. In the field, goatgrass com petes with wheat for moisture and nutrients, the researcher said. Economic damage figures are not available, Rydrych said. "But our estimate now is that we have, In spot infestations, probably I00.0OO acres in this area " he said, explaining that if goatgrass is In a field or along the edge, the entire field is consi dered infested. Goatgrass is spread by com bines moving from field to field, residue blowing from grain trucks, farmers planting contam inated wheat seed and. possibly, j trucks transrting wheat straw to be used as livestock bedding, the researcher .Raid. Without selective chemical controls, farmers must combat the weed with cultural practices such as isolating it in fields or along their edges, killing wheat and goatgrass in the isolated area, and leaving the area fallow for three years - an expensive procedure Rydrych is testing how various rhemicals affect the weed in wheat plots he plants each season at the Pendleton research sta tion. He purposely contaminates the plots with goatgrass.

MARKET TREND: Good quality cattle brought all the traffic would bear with them holding steady with last week's prices. Singles, blemished, and full cattle were discounted heavily. Cows were selling stronger for commercial and utility grades although the market is actually on a downward trend for cows, due in part to the unknown effects of the new dairy program that the government is initiating.

For the sympathy and acts of kindness given by so many at the time of our recent bereavement, we wish to ex press our heartfelt thanks. We are especially grateful to those who sent flowers, cards of sympathy and contributed food. These many acts of thoughtfulness will always be remembered. Lyle & Nevs Matteson. Tom Smith. Tana Arnold, Donna Lindstrom & Scott Lillie 11-3-lp Dear Friends: Nearly a year ago the Ble vins family was saddened by Terry's death. Three months later another shock, the loss of E.V.'s leg. There is no word for the helpless feeling the family was faced with. No insurance. Doctor bills and hospital bills had already oc curred. Friends, organiza tions, churches and persons held fund raising events. Our community and the eommun- ity of Ukiah and Dale have been most generous in sharing and caring. We shall always remember their kindness. We know many have been faced with illness and tragedies with deep sincerity, we say thanks to all. TheE.E.Gontys U-3-lc?
