(UPI Telephoto) SECTION D MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1961 PAGES 1 to 8 Weed Trees, Brush Reduce Production Capacity of Lands Corvallis - Weed trees and brush are reducing the pro duction capacity of more than 60 per cent of the forest lands of western Oregon at present, but research with chemical controls by the Oregon State college school of forestry show promise for greatly reducing that loss in years ahead. Results obtained with re cently developed herbicides indicate that control of vine maple and bigleaf maple - the most noxious "weed" trees on western Oregon timber lands - may become possible on an ecnomical basis. Improved controls for snow brush, ; madrone, and elder berry have been developed too in the research studies. Adequate controls for poison oak and blackberry have not yet been found, however. The report on research comes from Dr. George Barnes, assistant director of the OSC forest research di vision, and Michael Newton, research forester. Not Easily Killed Large maples are not easily killed by aerial sprays with current methods and chemi cals. Individual stem treat ments on large bigleaf maple have given good results, how ever, when 2,4,5-TP chemical, in a diesel oil carrier, was used as a basal spray. Treat ments applied between April and September met with con siderable success, the research ers reported. Vine maple of small size was killed back to the ground by four pounds per acre of 2,4,5-T applied aerially. Oregon white oak has been subjected to many of the same treatments used on maple. Sensitivity of the two species differs considerably, however, it was found. The most prac tical treatment on oak has been 2,4-D amine in axe cuts. Further study of tree physi ology, metabolism and trans location should eventually lead to methods of treating large trees aerially on a prac tical basis, Barnes and New ton believe. They also see the day "close at hand" when brush fields can be completely controlled by a single spray application. Petroleum warfare was first recorded in ancient Persia where oil was used to make incendiary arrows. Seminar for Labor Set at OTI Campus Klamath Falls -A seminar for organized labor on the sub ject of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 - commonly referred to as the Landrum-Griffin law - has been set for March 8 on the campus of Oregon Techni cal Institute under sponsor ship of OTI. Winston D. Purvine, direct or of Oregon Technical Insti tute; said labor groups have indicated they will assist with arrangements in the role of co sponsorship. The seminar will be con ducted by two U.S. depart ment of labor officials from Seattle, who will discuss var ious features of the act, with emphasis on requirements for annual financial reports inas much as those reports are due before the end of March from unions whose fiscal years ended Dec. 31. Sheriff Loses Hat Junction, Tex. -0IPD- When Sheriff Rip Martin was help ing in jury selection prior to a murder trial, someone stole his expensive western-style hat from a front row bench in the court room. Now Martin walks through the court room with his hands poised at his hips. "I'm just afraid somebody will steal my britches," he said. Ms.-: i Vft V v,-.Vtv' .- A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE What is a good cup of coffee? We believe it is a great deal more than something hot to drink. It is courage in the morning. Refreshment at noon.
