State Highway Commission Tells Two-Year Plan for Road Building Portland (U.R) The State Highway Commission met here yesterday and came up with a two-year program calling for about 102 million dollars in a new highway construction as part of the 13-year federal and state program which will mean 642 million dollars on Oregon roads. Further tentative plans for an additional three-year construc tion period as part of a five-year master plan also are being con sidered, according to W. C. Wil liams, state highway engineer. To Start Immediately Williams said that work will start immediately under the new program. Contracts are expect ed to be let on some of the proj ects early this fall. The Federal Bureau of Roads has designated most of the funds for the interstate system. This includes, in Oregon, U.S. high way 30 from Portland to the Idaho border and U.S. 89, the Pacific highway, since they are both part of the national defense system. However. Williams said, the program will increase the funds available for the other highways of the state, which will mean a boost of about 50 per cent be cause of an increase in federal funds and the possibility of diver sion of funds not used on the interstate system. Other Funds Available The non-interstate system will draw 31 million dollars compared to the 71 million dollars accord ed the interstate system. In addition to the projects ap proved by the commission for the two-year program, Williams said there is eight million dol lars available for the federal aid county road system.- The commission also allocated unexpended bond funds totaling $1,393,000 to start acquisition of right-of-way and grading of the I Gold Beach-Meyers creek section of Highway 101 between Gold Beach and Brookings. First work was expected to be from Gold Beach toward Cape Sebastian to the south. Williams said it was hoped that more money would be allocated to this section in the three-year period after the pres ent plans. Bridge Finance Plan Urged A delegation from Astoria and other coast towns urged the com mission to consider a plan to fi nance a 30 million dollar toll bridge from Astoria to Megler. The delegation plans to meet with Washington highway com missioners to arrange a confer ence of engineers. The delega tion suggested that the two com missions underwrite whatever deficit there may be in revenue until the bridge can take care Former Naval Chief Of Operations Dies Newport. R.I. fll.R) Former Chief of Naval Operations Vice Adm. Lynde D. McCormick will be buried with full military hon ors at the U. S. Naval Academy Monday. McCormick, 61, died at the Newport Naval Hospital Thurs- day of a heart seizure. A four- star admiral, the 41-year serv ice veteran was Supreme Allied Commander of the Atlantic Fleet following World War II and had been head of the Naval War Col lege here since 1954. An Annapolis graduate, Mc Cormick witnessed the surrender of the German fleet in the North Sea at the end of World War I. He was plans officer for Adm.

" - Battles for First, Fourth Highlight RV League Play Battles over first place and fourth spot figure to make an interesting Sunday in the Rogue Valley Baseball league. The Cheney Colts scuffle at Ashland in action that sees both clubs shooting for a berth in the season end play-off. Going into the skirmish the Colts have fourth spot and need one victory to cinch a place in the play-off. Ashland must win or be elimi nated from the running. Camp White, playing at Eagle Point, will gun for a win and hope that the Colts lose. That is the combination which will keep the W niters in the chase. Deadlock Seen Glendale plays at Cave Junc tion and a win by the host ag gregation will knot the Outlaws with Glendale for the loop lead. If Cave Junction : wins and Grants Pass takes a verdict as entertainer of Butte Falls, GP, Cave Junction and Glendale will be tied in top place. All three are sure of berths in the four - team championship play off. Kay Kelley, who worked only a short shift on the mound in the Cheney squad mix last Tuesday night, is expected to have the hill chore for the Colts against Ashland. Duane Sides and Bruce Forette would be available for relief. A boil" handicapped Harvey Tonn this week so the first base job likely will go to Sides with Morris Churchman at second, Donn Johnson or Don LaBeau at third base and Frank Rector at shortstop. In the outfield it should be among Larry Bigham, Ed Reinking, Bob Serak and Howard Morris. of itself financially.

Garden Notes '"' " By C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture Alot of leaf browning, distort ing and dying is occurring in garden plants this year. This is particularly true " of beans and melons. These leaf troubles are caused by both insects and by virus diseases.' Of the insects, aphis and mites are the most, common. Aphis are easily detected by the typical green and black aphis on the undersides of the leaves. These can be readily con trolled by spraying the under sides of the leaves with mala thion. Spider Mites Spider mites likewise work on the undersides of the leaves but are very tiny and are easily overlooked. Control of these with most materials is unsatis factory. Aramite as used in the orchards is very effective but is not available in small packages. The virus diseases will gener ally result in a distorted leaf which later yellows and may fall, or it may adhere to plant. There are several viruses which attack these plants and most of them attack several plants. In some cases they would be car ried over in the seed, but in other cases they would spread around from one type of plant to another. Control Measures There is no known control measure for any virus disease. Plants which are affected badly enough to be of doubtful pro ductivity should be pulled and taken from the field. Earlier in the season it would have been desirable to remove affected plants as soon as. noticed. This late in the season, there will be very little spread so there is little to be gained from remov ing plants now. . . Because these virus diseases have been much more prevalent than usual this year, it would as a general rule be wise not to save any seed for -next year's crop unless all of the plants in the patch are in veryi good health.
