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

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

fourth spot and need one victory

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

tion and a win by the host ag
gregation will knot the Outlaws
with Glendale for the loop lead.
If Cave Junction : wins and

will be tied in top place. All
three are sure of berths in the

the Cheney squad mix last
Tuesday night, is expected to

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. '
