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

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)

For control of anthracnose
i spray with copper at the full
bloom stage, two weeks later
and immediately after harvest

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

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.

Crabgrass Controls

Weed Control Supervisor
If your lawn is average, it

, , 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

Water Supply
Forecast Slated
A snow survey and water
supply forecasting meeting
will be held in the Extension
Auditorium on the Fair
grounds south of Medford,
Wednesday, April 20th, at 1
p.m., according to Bert wit
cox, county extension agent.
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.

SCAB CONTROL
FOR
APPLES AND PEARS
Cyprex provides powerf ul, economical control along with flexibility
to meet any threat from scab throughout the season,
Cyprex is recommended by all
western states tis the preferred scsli
fungicide.
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. Or, contact American
Cyanamid Company, Agricultural
Division, Los Angeles 54, Oakland

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
