'AuKimt 21. 104i Second Inspection Of Certified Spud Seed Starts Soon Weekly Page of Farm News n PAGE TH1KTJEKJ? By B. McCAMBRIDGE Assistant County Agant Professor O. n. Ityslop o( Ore. gon Stnta collega will ba In Klamath county thn latter part of tlils wsak to st.-irl the soiuiid field Inspection on thn certified potatoes. Thn completion of the f I rat field Inspcrtlmi thn hint of July showed Unit lint quality of a i crop was exceptionally good, Ih the dlseose count rather tow. A few acres were rejected but the porcentnue was not high. The diseases most prevalent are rugose and mild mosolc. The acreage of potatoes entered for certification thin year U (ISO acre, which In comparative to the acreage entered last year. Boguslng Advlsad Roguelng should be dono eiirly and often to prevent sprcarilnu of these virtu diseases throntili out the field. Potato virus Is spread from one plant to another by aphid. Thn aphlds feed on the diseased plont then on henlthy ones, thus spreading the disease from ens p'snt to another. R o g u c I n l consist of going through tho fields, systematically pulling the vines and removing all tho young potatoes and the old iced piece. The vines and Qnns tuber should be carried m the fields. It In pure folly to Just pull tho vines and leave the young tubers In the ground. If these young tubers are not re moved they will be harvested with tho rest of thn crop and If ticd a seed, they will produce diseased plants, thu making cer tification difficult from such seed and roguelng a waste of time. Roguclng should always be done previous to the time the field Inspection ore made. Leaf Roll Leaf roll I a virus disease which has caused some concern among the potato growers in Klamath, county. This dlseasa has boon found this year In both certified and commercial fields, but only In small (minimis which Onot serious as yet, However enllon should bo given this disease to prevent Its spread and - bring about eveittuul control. 8YMPTOM8 OF THE DISEASE 1. In Leaves. Leaf roll Is char acterized hy on upward rolling of the looflet which become thickened, stiff and leolhery. This gives the plont a stiff, erect appearance. Leaves of affected plant show a distinct rolling from tho midrib lo the edges rather thnn the V-shnpcd fold from the midrib as I the case with Rhljoctonla. Leaflets in the upper port of the plant point upward and show the lower side, particularly In newly infected plant. The leave eventually as sume a yellowish color and the whole plant becomes dworfed. 2, In Tubers. The mature tub ers sometime show an exten s 1 v e network of dark brown thread-like streaks running through the Interior of the pota jak This network la quite differ TJfc from the discoloration In the vascular ring which is caused by other disease and conditions. Tho brown color does not show until tho tubers approach matur ity and it continues to develop in storage. This symptom occurs particularly In plant Infected during' the current season and Is tertned net necrosis. In serious Infestations It Is almost lmpossl bls to make a good marketable grade of potatoes because of tho waste caused by this discolora tion. The yield from diseased plant Is reduced. Ylold reduc tion Is very serious If the seed piece carried the disease. Few tuber from uch plant ever reach marketable size. Seriously Infected fields are not worth dig Ring. CONTROL (1) Use Clenn Seed. Strict cer tification of seed potatoes should ince the amount of secd-borna Vs"f roll to a minimum. (2) Discard diseased tubers. When cutting seed, discard all seed tuber which show the char acteristic net necrosis. (3) Rogue diseased plants. Dur ing the growing season all plants showing leaf roll should he rouged as soon a they can be recognized. The earlier the roguclng Is done, the better, as there I less opportunity for aph id to spread the disease. When taking out diseased plants, he sure to remove the seed pieces also, They may sprout and pro duce another diseased plnnt, (4) Maintain an Isolated seed plot. Orowers who produce their own seed potatoes should main tain an Isolated plot for growing clean seed to use In the niRln commercial planting. Tho essen tial practice to observe In till special seed plot are; (a) Use tho tubor unit system. Place all seed pieces cut from one tuber In n small container. Qrry boxes, tin cans, or paper Bs may bo used. The berry box es are preferable. Use a separate container for each Uiber. Plant the pieces from one tuber one after the other In the row. Skip a hill, then plant the pieces from the next tuber, and so on. In Ihls way, if a diseased tubor is In the ed lot, all pieces from this ' ' tuber will be planted In the same tuber unit In the row and thus all can be rogued earlier and moro accurately. (b) Rogua earafully. When thn potatoes orn up and the symp toms are noticeable, rogue very carefully. Whenever any one of thn pieces coming from a tuber shows dlsenne, rogue out all hills coming from that tuber, because It Is probabla that all of these hills are diseased. (c) Index the foundation seed plot whera practical. Some growers are Indexing tho tubers for the seed plot to good advant ago. This Involves tho growing of one eye, preferably tho stem end piece, from each tuber well in advance of the field planting to determine whether the tuber is healthy. If this piece produces a healthy plant, it is assumed that all thn other pieces of that tuber will produce healthy plants. All tubers detected a dl. (rimed arc discarded and only the healthy ones ore kept for plant ing In the tuber unit seed plot. Where facilities ara available for doing the work effectively, this Is undoubtedly the most nearly Ideal method now known for con trolling tho potato virus diseases. EARLY-MARKE T OF LIVESTOCK HELD NEEDED While current meat shortages reported from some parti of the country have not occurred to any Important extent In Oregon, the present situation holds an ele ment of warning to livestock pro ducer, points out R. G. Johnson, head of Iho department of ani mal husbandry at Oregon Stnto college. In Oregon, as well as else where in the country, farmer are raising the largest number of meat animal on record, "with mnrkotliiM normally scheduled to reach an all-time high lalo this fall and In early winter. Current shortages In some part of the country ore caused hy an un usually largo export and dome. tic d e m a n d for meat supplies plus some local dislocations cuused by price control. Because of the current demand and favorable prices Oregon cat. demon could well afford to move some stock such as fat cows to market In greater volume than usual this summer and early foil so as to avoid a possible conges tion In slaughtering and ship ping facilities later on, says Johnson. Tho same holds true for hog raisers who may have hogs on hand now that could be hurried along to good size and finish by heavy feeding. Present price ra tios are such that heavy feeding of a well balanced ration' Is Jus tified and will roturn good prof Its, Johnson believes. . Thus, rapid forcing of Oregon meat animals to good size and finish will help consufriers and producers alike by relieving shortages and avoiding later con' gestlon. Dealer shortages put new value on Used merchandise. Cash In on your "Junk" through a classified ad. Dione 3124. Champion Plow Girl itj SK UldMM.1. .. .- ,' ' Villi r i I.4W..,i.i... .

Weekly Market Trends (Editor's Note: The following market Information is supplied from material obtained over the government leased wire in the office of the extension econo mist at Oregon State college. The material. In the form of a weekly summary of trend In tho livestock market, Is not in tended to replace spot day by doy market reports.) CATTLE MARKETS The heavy run of cattle that has continued for tho past two weeks wos In evidence again Monday when 3000 head were received at North Portland, all but 100 head of which were avallablo for local trading. The market was generally steady, al though last week's top of $14.50 paid for some experiment sta tion fat stock was not reached. Good fed steers brought $14.13 to $14.30, while heavy grass steers were as high as $13.50. Most of the grass-fed steers, however, sold at $13 and below. Tho market In San Francisco was sharply firmer, with fed steers quoted at $13.50, up about 25 cents from last week's close. At Chicago a top of $16.50 was reoched for fat steers. Receipts of cattle In North Portland have been running con siderably ahead of a year ago, Indicating that feeders have changed their plans since re porting last April. The placing of ceilings on beef prices at wholesale and retail caused some uncertainty so that many cattle have been marketed in June and July and so far in August that were intended for later movement. Slaughter of fed cattle in June and July was the largest on record throughout the country. Cattle and calves are reported in good condition on the range. Feed has been good, except In a few local dry areas. Grass-fat cattle from the southwest have been showing good weight and finish. Sharp reduction in the num ber of cattle on feed as com pared with a year ago Is report ed by the USDA. .Reports also indicate that the feeding period for those now in the feedlots is considerably shorter than a year ago. Conditions of livestock; in tho range states was very good as of August I. SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS Arrival for local sale at North Portland amounted to 1800 head last Monday, with trading active and prices most ly up about 25 cents. Good to choice fat spring lambs brought $12, with medium to good grades quoted at $10.50 to $11. Top prices reported from other mar. kcts were $13.50 at San Fran cisco and $14.75 at both Chicago and Omaha. Direct and contract buying in the intcrmountain area became active last week at higher prices than prevailed before price ceil ings slowed up trade. On the coast, buyers in the San Fran cisco bay district have bought upwards of 15,000 head of lambs for early September delivery at $13 f.o.b. Nevada railroad points. The movement of spring lambs at San Francisco from the north coast section appears to be about ended for the season. In Mon tana and Wyoming both black and white-faced feeder lambs sold at $11.50 to $12 f.o.b. load ing point. White-faced yearling ewes sold at $11.50 per head. Colorado sales of fat lambs for September and October delivery have been at $12 per hundred. Along the Pacific coast lamb slaughter has continued at a telatlvely high rate this year. HOG MARKETS After reaching a new high for many years last week at $15.50, hog prices at North Portland Monday remained fully steady and one lot even brought $15.60. Receipts for local sale totaled about 1500 head. San Francisco markets ranged from $15.50 to $15.75, while at Chicago top of $15.25 was reported.
