Hollyhock Rust Rust on hollyhock appears as small brown spots about with a red center. Infected leaves will gradually dry up and die. Frequent sulfur dustings in the spring are required to control this disease. Since the new leaves develop rapidly, it may be necessary to dust with sulfur two to three times : a week in order to have these I new leaves protected.

Gooseberries arc becoming a popular berry plant in the home garden. However, like most fruit bearing plants cer tain sprays need to be ap plied in order to obtain the best quality fruit from these plants. The most common pests of gooseberries are anthracnose, mildew and the gooseberry maggot. The degree to which the many plantings through out the valley will be affected by these pests will vary so adjust your spray schedule accordingly. Anthracnose causes very small leafspots. When these are abundant the leaves yel low and fall off by midseason. Mildew appears as a white powery growth on the leaves, shoots and fruits. Infected plants are usually stunted and the berries are covered by a dark brown coating of the mildew fungus. The gooseberry maggot ap pears in April as a fruit fly. It is about one-quarter inch long and is an attractive lem on yellow color. Its wings are crossed by smoky bands. Aft er a few days, these flies lay their eggs in the gooseberry. The eggs hatch in about five days and the small white mag gots work their way into the berry. For control of mildew, spray at the green tip stage with lime sulfur at the delay ed dormant strength. Then spray with Karathane as the blossoms open, at the full bloom stage, and two weeks after full bloom at the rate of one tablespoon (Karaspra) ; per gallon of water. For control of anthracnose i spray with copper at the full bloom stage, two weeks later and immediately after harvest at three tablespoons to a gal Ion of water. For control of the goose berry maggot spray with me thoxychlor (two tablespoons 50 per cent wettable powder) at the full bloom stage and two weeks later. The above sprays may be mixed and applied to the plant at the same time. Karathane ARE YOU ABOUT TO BE SWALLOWED UP IN DEBTS?

Plans in clude box stalls, tack and feed rooms. Expandable Horse Barn Featured in New Plans Corvallis - Working draw ings of an expandable barn for riding horses are now available to residents of Ore gon from Oregon State Uni versity extension service. M. H. Huber, OSU agricul tural engineering specialist, says Oregon now has an esti mated 100.000 horses and the number is increasing with the growing popularity of riding horses. The expandable barn is suit able for any region of the state. Developed by the U.S. may be used up to 21 days before harvesting the berries. and methoxychtor may be used up to 14 days before har vesting the berries. Spray sycamores now for control of sycamore blight. This disease causes a brown ing of the leaves and defoli ation of the tree. The spray must be applied thoroughly to the tree for good control. Use a fixed copper spray at the rate of three pounds to 100 gallons of water (approxi mately two tablespoons to a gallon of water). A second spray at the above rate should be applied in two weeks if rainy weather continues. For more information on this dis ease call the county extension office and request the pain phlet on Sycamore Blight. Department of Agriculture, it provides space for two 12x12 foot box stalls, a tack room and a feed room. The barn is 34 feet long and 22 feet wide. Floors in the feed and tack rooms are concrete; stall floors are earth. The building is of frame construction and plans show how to build cither a low pitched roof or a steep roof rur areas of Heavy snowfall. The roof will withstand snow loads up to 20 pounds per square foot or winds that do not exceed 75 mpb. The plan also shows an al ternate detail roof that will stand heavier snow loads and winds of hurricane force. In very cold or hot climates, the roof should be insulated. Complete drawings are free and may be obtained from lo cal county extension agents or from the OSU Bulletin Clerk, Corvallis. Ask for Plan No. BP-57. Crabgrass Controls Given by Weed Expert By RAY HUBBELL Weed Control Supervisor If your lawn is average, it may contain from 10 to la , , k . j TJfr r-u,7v,, i weather conditions this could merit a crabgrass preventer ! must be applied to your lawn in the spring before seeds germinate. Depending upon of crabgrass weaken perma nent lawn grasses by com peting for moisture and plant food, Crabgrass need not ruin your lawn. It can be controll ed through the use of proper cultural and chemical prac tices. There are three general categories into which control may fail - (I) cultural preven tions of conditions favorable to germination, growth and spread of the weed; 2) chemi cal control or prevention of crabgrass germination and establishment; and (3) chemi cal control of established crabgrass. These methods may be used singly or in combina tion. Tests have shown (2) chemical control of germina ting seeds combined with (3 good cultural practices give the most satisfactory control of this pest. Of Similar Appearance It is easy to mistake quack grass, witchgrass, tall fescue and others for crabgrass dur ing certain growth stages. There are even three differ ent t3'pes of crabgrass-smooth crabgrass. hairy crabgrass and silver crabgrass. All look much alike and are annuals. Perennial grasses which per sist from year to year should not be confused with annual crabgrass. Be certain that you are familiar with the nature of the pest before attempting control. To prevent seed germina tion and seedling establish- takc place during April or early May. Dacthai, the active ingre dient for crabgrass control formulations, may be found in numerous lawn prepar ations and is available for home use. Good results cm be expected if properly ap plied in the soil sufficiently ahead of germination. One treatment should last for one growth season. Coupled with a good cultural program of fertilising, mowing and water ing should result in a beauti ful green lawn tree of crab grass. Repeated applications will be needed from year to year until ail crabgrass seeds have germinated. Broarileaf weeds should be treated with sprays of 2,4-D and a constant watch for pests. Read the labels and follow these directions before using any pesticides. Cobalt deficiencies in cat tle are widespread through out the west, reeding trace mineralized salt to cattle will help make up far this lack.

Bob Whaley, assistant to Jack Frost, snow survey su pervisor for Soil Conservation Service, witi be here from the Portland office to discuss snow surveying and water supply forecasting. All people interested in the water supply outlook for this area are encouraged to attend. Water forecasting is very im portant to domestic, irrigation and industrial water users. The climate in this area is characterized by relatively dry summer months. Most of our precipitation occurs m the winter and csriy spring months when it is of Utile im mediate benefit to growing crops, fortunately, most oi this precipitation fails as mountain snow which stays on the ground for months, melt ing later to sustain streamflow during the period of greatest demand during iate spring and summer. Thus nature pro vides in mountain snow an im posing water storage facility. By relating snow measure ments taken over a period of years to spring-summer run off during the same period, re lationships have been devel oped which make it possible to forecast seasonal runoff sev cral months in advance.

These reeommendnticins are based on comparative trials by plant pathologists in ail Washington, Ore gon and California areas where scab is an economic problem on apples snd pears. Cypres is superior both as an cradU'aut and a pvatcctaut Low eco nomical rates in protection schedules have proved to be far marc effective ihati other protectant materials. And by merely increasing rates slightly Cyprex also becomes a powerful eradicant, giving up to 48 hours of "kick-back" action. Cypres is compafiWe with most insecticides and f ungisides, It is also now available In dust form. Consult local authorities for further information.

Co-Ops Need To Grow To Meet New Demand Corvallis - Farmer coopera tives need to grow in size, performance, and in ability to meet changing needs, reports Oregon State university agricultural economist. Dr. Gerald L. Korzan says he believes that formation of new cooperatives in years ahead will be tew and far between - not oniy because j the cost of starting a new co- j operative is so high, but also because cooperatives already exist in most lines and in j most areas He says the need i for cooperative enterprise ! may be greater than ever, but i it must be met by existing rather than new cooperatives, j Whether it's Dlvwood Or other oroducts of industry or ajricuiture, there's a Union Pacific traffic office nearby to help you solve your shipping problem.
