Quick action required to prevent weed from growing
Michael Bennett. Puncturevine
grows each year from seed to
form a mat of stems radiating
from a central crown and root.
Two characteristics will help pro
vide positive identification:
Look for plants growing flat on
the ground with leaves that con
tain several leaflets and are op
posite one another on the stem,
it is important to confirm that one
of the opposite leaves has more
leaflets than the other leaf.
Look for yellow flowers that,
when fully opened, are smaller
than a dime.
The spiny fruit will also allow
positive identification, but it will
be much better to control the
plants before seed is produced.
Puncturevine is in Morrow
County and residents don't want
it. This unwelcome weed is
especially aggravating because of
the sharp, stiff spines on the seed
pods. Bicycle tires, bare feet and
pets are equally vulnerable.
Recreation, gardening and most
other uses of our open space will
be much more enjoyable if punc
turevine is controlled, said a press
release from the Morrow Coun
ty Extension office. Early iden
tification is essential for control
points out Carol Michael Bennett,
OSU extension agent.
The key to preventing further
spread is to recognize the plants
before more seed is produced.
This is fairly easy, continues
Viable seed may be produced
within two weeks after flowers
are seen, so quick action is
crucial.
When puncturevine plants are
small they are easily killed by cut
ting the root below the crown. A
hoe or shovel works fine. If no
fruits are formed, the plants may
be left to dry or added to the com
post pile. If you find plants with
the spiny fruits already formed,
place the plants carefully in a bag.
The fruits fall off easily. Take the
bag to your bum barrel if you
have one. Another option is to
carefully collect all of the seed
pods and place them in a
microwave oven for about five
minutes at full power to kill the
seeds.
Wagon train seeks better life on trail
This summer marks the 150th
anniversary of the beginning of
the Great Migration. More than
300.000 people trekked west
beginning in 1843. Seeking to
fulfill the ‘Manifest Destiny' of
the United States, pioneers pack
ed up their families and belong
ings and travelled west searching
for a better life in a new land.
The official Oregon Trail Ses-
quicentennial Wagon Train left
June 26 for its 73 day, 1000-mile
journey
west
from
the
Idaho/Wyoming border.
One of the major events of
Oregon Trail Celebration *93, the
official O regon Trail Ses-
quicentennial Wagon Train
showcases the pioneering spirit of
the hundreds of thousands who
came west. Wooden-wheeled
covered wagons, draft horses and
period clothing will blend to
demonstrate life on the frontier.
“ We are very excited to get on
the road. For over two years,
hundreds of people in both states
have been working to make this
Wagon Train a reality,’’ explain
ed Wagon Train Project manager
Eric Fishman. “ That first mor
ning people will hear the jingling
of the harnesses as the horses and
mules are hitched and the creak
ing of the wagon wheels and feel
the same type of anticipation of
the journey ahead as the pioneers
must felt 150 years ago.”
The 1993 official Oregon Trail
Sesquicentennial Wagon Train is
focused on public participation
and education through first-hand
experience. Up to 20 wagons,
150 horses and mules and 350
people will make up the wagon
train procession each day. Wagon
train participants are assured each
day of travel on the Oregon Trail
will be exciting, interesting and
educational. The public is
welcome to join the Wagon Train
from one to seven days. For cur
rent availability information and
participatory prices call (503)
223-6191.
The route of the official
Oregon Trail Sesquicentennial
Wagon Train parallels trails taken
by the original pioneers, in some
instances in view of the actual
ruts. The Wagon Train travels an
average of 15-20 miles per day,
making stops for the public to
view the Wagon Train and for the
animals to rest. In the evenings,
the authentic wagons circle for
the night and offer opportunities
for the public to visit with the par
ticipants. tour the wagons and
participate in the Trail and its
history.
For the Oregon leg of the
journey, Henry W einhard’s
Private Reserve Beer will be the
Wagon Train’s presenting spon
sor. Additional sponsors include,
Nike, Marketing One, Inc.,
Dairy Farmers of Oregon. West
One Bank. Oregon and Cellular
