Stock-Killing Weed Spreading in State Spokane, Jan. 27 (U.R) A warning to Washington and Ore gon stockmen to be on, the look out for a stock-killing weed was made here today by the Spokane county weed control office. Reports from southern Idaho that about an acre of the deadly weed called "halegeton" had been found in three counties caused the warning. A. W. Lange, supervisor of the weed control office here, said his office was doing everything it could to keep a constant vigil for the weed. Difficulties Foreseen "Once we get halegeton in the area, it'll be dimcuit to get ria of it,' 'Lange said. "And the cost .of eradicating the weed usually isn't worth the value of the land. Often, abandonment is the only answer. "It takes about a pound and a half to kill a grazing animal. But if you have, say, a full acre of the stuff, it's easy for an ani mal to eat that much of it." Lange said the weed first showed ud in the northwest near Elko, Nev. It has been spread ing north. However, none is known definitely to grow Washington or Oregon.

March of Dimes Extension Forced By Bad Weather Because recent bad weather has handicapped March of Dimes workers throughout Oregon, E. T. Headlund, state chairman for the drive, Saturday notified Dick House, Jackson county chairman, that the campaign will be contin ued past the original closing date, January 30. Chairman House said the ex tension would be particularly needed in the rural sections here as entertainments and other fund-raising affairs have been considerably slowed by the storms. He said chairmen in the various communities have ex pressed the belief that the plan' ned schedule of activities can be resumed in February. Must Succeed "The-1950 March of Dimes not only must be successful, it must be the greatest March of Dimes we have ever conducted," House declared, repeating the slogan adopted by nation-wide workers at 14 regional conferences after a look at the diminishing treas ury of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The reason is obvious, he said. "More than 42,000 new cases of polio were reported in the na tion last year, 15,000 more cases than in 1948, and an almost all time high polio year with 54,000 cases to oe cared tor in lu, House continued. During 1949 the national head quarters advanced more than $9,605.000 'in emergency aid to 44 states and Alaska to enable chapters to carry on their work. Of this amount $13,847 came into Oregon in addition to expendi ture of money raised and kept within the state. "Oregon," the Jackson county chairman ex plained, "had the third highest polio year in its history in 1949."

Berry Crop Of Area Under 1948 Totals Recent reports on production and cold storage holdings of berry crops were released yes terday in this weeks fruit re view prepared by the Oregon State college extension service and show a IB per cent reduction in the Pacific northwest's total berry crop from 1948's record production. The northwest produced near ly vo.uuu tons of berries in 1949, according to the crop reporting service, with Oregon growing more than half the total. The state leads in production of strawberries, black berries, lo- ganoernes, ooysenoerries, and gooseberries, but Washington grows more red raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries. The 1949 berry crop was worth around $10,000,000 to Oregon growers or about 40 per cent less than the record value of $16,700,000 earned by the 1948 crop. Both smaller production and lower prices contributed to the lower value received last season, the extension service said. Cave Junction Mayor Visits, Tells Of Mine Elwood Hussey, mayor of Cave Junction and proprietor of "The Old Mine" on Althouse creek, where he entertains tour ists with authentic gold-rush days atmosphere, cooking and gold panning, was a Medford visitor Saturday.

'.U.MiiM'fVH JjrH.JJ.'I.HJ'f VI Sunday, January 29. 1 9Sp .... AROUND ly VIRGINIA United Preaa Hollywood, Jan. 28 (U.R) Lou Costello said today he's healthy enough to go back to work and he'll prove it if he has to hoist doub ting ex- e c u t i v e 8 on A rTl oarbells. LU11C1IU gives Univer sal-Internation al the rest of the winter to call him and Bud Abbott for Virginia work. If they HacPherwa don't, he and the first robin will storm the New York head office together. I think these guys out here have been telling the bosses I'm dying, Costello said indignant ly. ' I ain't sick; I'll prove it to 'em if I have to swing 'em around like I was weight-listing. "I can't figure any other rea- son why they don t insist that they put us back to work us the country's third greatest box- office attraction. Costello got sick last April and nearly died. He likes loaf ing now, but he says he s been ready to work since December 1. And it's a mystery to everybody, including him, why he's not be fore the cameras. Still Suspended "A couple of weeks ago the studio announced I was suspend ed, said I wasn't able to work," he said. "Sure I can work. And I've been on suspension since last May when I was suspended between life and death. "People who read that think I'm still sick. Well, it's not true. I want everybody to know I feel like a two-year-old colt." Of course there ore a few min or things U-I will have to do be fore the boys go back. Out of Head "I signed a new contract when I was sick," Costr-llo said. "I was out of my head; I must have been. I gave away the radio rights we've always had and our rights to an outside picture. They're going to have to give those back. I didn't know what I was doing." Those little items won't cost the studio half as much, he said, as they lose by not making the funnymen's movies. ( "We keep the place In the black," he said. "We're the big gest moneymakers at the studio, according to the polls, and have been for 10 years. I don't know where our pictures play, but they sure do business. ALL THEATRES CONTINUOUS Today from 12:45 p.m. OPENS HERE TODAY! WHAT A GOB.'

He's hav ing the time of his life on layoff.' "I'm getting acquainted with my family, even getting to know my horses," he said. "I just sit home with nothing to do but autograph pictures." The promise of "lands full of beaver" lured traders and trap pers along parts of the Missis sippi, St. Lawrence, and the Great Lakes ahead of explorers and missionaries. The Beaver laid the foundation for the Hud son's Bay Company and for John Jacob Astor's fabulous fortune. r POWELL mark WILLIAM I';. - ff. ?. 1 wild ADOLPHE MENJOU JEAN HERSHOLT HEAR h.anS,inhe IT .
