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.
