June 14, 1945 WEATHER M REPORTS CROP OUTLOOK GOOD PORTLAND, June 14 W A generally good crop outlook despite persistent cloudiness delaying growth was reported today bv the weather bureau in its weekly crop-weather survey of Oregon. : The bureau recorded a maxi mum temperature during the last week of 82 at Medford. and a minimum of 27 at Bend. Rain fall was generally scattered and light. . . ' . The grain picture: winter grain heading well," though heads not well filled in some lo calities; early sown spring grain good, though acreage reduced because of poor seeding weather; some corn being re planted due to scarcity of sun shine. . Fruit; Strawberries of good quality reaching market; cane fruit crop expected to be good; cherries showing color in warm er areas; weather unfavorable for eradication of pear blight. Livestock: Pasture good to ex cellent: livestock in good condi tion; sheep shearing delayed; good yields of hay cut in drier regions. . Truck crops: Hops doing well; lettuce being shipped: onions and sugar beets making good growth: tomatoes and melons in need of warm weather. A fleet of eight crop dusting planes was purchased recently by Max Menti of Klamath Falls from Louis Soukup, who has op erated the business for a number of years prior to their purchase by Menti. "' . Some work is being done now for various growers and ranch ers in the Klamath basin, Sou kup stated, and more will be done later in Washington and up and down the coast. These crop dusting planes op erate efficiently by first placing a hopper able to hold anywhere from three sacks to 12 sacks of insecticide in the back of the plane depending upon., the plane's size. The planes then take off and swoop down to a distance of from four to ten feet above the crop to be dusted. The hopper is then opened, releas ing the insecticide "upon the de sire area. Crop dusting planes are also used to kill weeds, exterminate grasshoppers, and sow seed, Sou kup said. Crops are always dust ed early in the morning when the wind velocity is low and there is some dew evident. Several of the planes are lo cated in a landing field adjacent to highway 97 and others at the Warden airport.
