CLAIM
Klamath Irrigation district di
rectors have adopted a resolu
tion supporting the Shasta View
irrigation district in its argu
ment with the reclamation bu
reau over a new contract for the
Shasta View district, it was re
vealed this week.
Shasta View, recently re-organized,
has refused so far to ac
cept a contract offered it which
provides for additional pay
ments for water furnished above
2i acre feet. Arthur Schaupp,
counsel for the district, has sub
mitted a brief claiming that the
proposed charge is not in ac
cordance with law and supreme
court rulings.
In support of the Shasta View
contention, the KID directors
adopted the following resolu
tion: "Whereas, Shasta View irriga
tion district is now seeking a
contract with the United States
under what is known as, the
Warren act, and
"Whereas, the United States
has tendered said district a con
tract, the terms of which require
that if more than specified
amounts of water per acre are
Used, additional payment must
dc maae inereiore, ana
"Whereas, the laws of the
United States and of the State of
Oregon, as well as ruling of the
supreme court of the United
States, provide that beneficial
use shall be the measure of
water of which users thereof are
entitled,
"Be it resolved, that Klamath
irrigation district request our
senators and representatives in
congress to use every effort to
revail upon the secretary of the
iterior to grant the Shasta View
Irrigation district a contract pro
viding that payment not be re
quired for so-called 'excess
water" and further that they use
every euort to prevail upon the
secretary of the interior to
amend contracts with the other
irrigation districts on the Klam
ath project to eliminate require
ment lor payment tor so-called
'excess water.' "

CATTLE AND BOO MABKETS
The livestock market at North Port
land on Monday, July 9, was active :
and mostly steady although offerings,
were somewhat larger than a week
previous. Salable supplies of cattle were
only 1800. or 1000 head less than a year
earlier. Good' grass steers sold up to
515.75 and medium heifers to SI 4. Good
cows were 512 50 to $13. Hogs were
firm at ceilings with only a few of
fered. SHEEP AVD IAMB MAXKET
Sheep numbers were up somewhat,
totaling 2500 head. A few small tots of
selected spring lambs brought $14 25 but
the bulk of the good to choice offerings
went at 513.50 to $14.
Receipts of sheep and lambs at North
Portland have been running well ahead
of a year previous. For the month of
June they totaled 28 400 which was
9000 more than in June 1944. Since
January 1- arrivals amount to 103.000;
nearly zh.uw more man during tne urst ,
six months of last year.
A recent significant development In
the lamb situation was the action of
the OPA whereby class 2 slaughterers
may get as large a quota as they wish.
This applies to any class a slaughterers
who may or may not have had a quota
previously.
Livestock and marketing specialists at
Oregon State college say this recent
action by OPA means that consumers
should be able to buy all the tamb that
they wish or that they have the ration
points to buy. Ration point values, how
ever, have not been changed. They
also point out that since about half the
western Oregon lambs go to California
the situation there will continue to In
fluence the movement of Oregon lambs.
WOOL MARKETS
The Boston wool market was quiet
the first week of July. Some demand
continued for staple fine and half-blood
original and graded domestic wool.
Short fine and medium wools were
verv slow.
No sales of northwest wools were re
ported but a large line of graded staple
Colorado wool with a shrinkage of 58
per cent sold at a grease price of fifty
cents. Some half-blood graded staple
shrinking 54 per cent sold at fifty-four
cents in the grease.
Australian wool production for the
1944-45 season, ended June 30, was ad
versely affected by a drought of major
proportions which still persists In im
portant sheep and wool producing areas.
Present indications are that wool clips
n the immediate future will show an
even greater decline, as sheep and lamb
losses have been exceptionally heavy.
The decline of 14 per cent in wool pro
duction In the season Just closing will
bring production below the Billion
pound level for the first time since
1938-39. The current decrease In pro
duction, however, is far outweighed by
the larse stocks on hand from preceding
wartime clips.

SHORTWARNS
FARMERS BUY
INSURANCE
Unfavorable weather, frosts
and other natural hazards need
not hold the same threat for
Klamath comity winter wheat
farmers this year as in the past,
according to Burrcll W. Short,
chairman of the county AAA
committee.
Farmers soon will be able to
obtain all-risk federal crop in
surance on winter wheat for the
first time since 1043. The crop
insurance program was revived
by congress late in December.
As under the previous pro
gram two contracts are being
offered on winter wheat. One
protects the farmer's production
returns up to 75 per cent of his
average yield, the other up to
50 per cent. Both are for three
years, covering the 1946-48
crops. Short said that every
wheat farmer In the county will
have an opportunity to purchase
this all-risk protection on his
winter wheat. Meetings are be
ing held in the county to set up
sales organizations. Farmers
may apply for insurance through
their county AAA office or
through sales agents appointed
by the county AAA office. Pre
miums are payable annually by
cash or by premium notes.
While farmers have until Sep
tember 30, or until wheat is
seeded if seeding is done before
that date, they are urged to sign
up as soon as possible to as
sure the program's operation in
this county. Before the insur
ance is effective in a county, ap
plications covering at least 50
farms must be received.

Schieferstein Predicts .
No More Weeds With 2'4-D
The new weed killer 3'4-D Is
being given extensive tests thin
year, Harold B. Schieferstein,
supervisor in charge of grass
hopper control, weed and rodent
control, staled today.
The formula 2'4-D, which was
given so much publicity Inst win
ter in farm magazines and OSC
bulletins, is one , of the new
growth-regulating hormones and
is used in powder form, one
pound to 50 gallons of water.
Sprayed on weed patches with
a power sprayer. It stops weed
growth immediately.
After several days stents and
leaves have a tendency to curl
and twist. The object of the
new killer Is to go down into
the roots and kill the plants.
If the plants can be killed be
fore they seed, the coming crop
would be substantially reduced,
Schieferstein pointed out. Al
though tliis herbicide takes long
er than others, complete eradi
cation can be effected by its
use, whereas ether herbicides)
are usually effective for only
one year at a time.
2'4-D is a selective herbicide,'
affecting some plants more than,
others. Blue grass has almost
100 per cent resistance to the;
spray, and Russian knap weed i
and white-top show strong re
sistance. Weeds of the more sus
ceptible variety are broad leaf
annuals including morning
glory, Canada thistle, water
hemlock, bull thistle and leafy
spurge.
Concentrated experiments
with S'4-D are being conducted
In Langrll valley and Bly vicin
ity where the leafy spurge is
plentiful, and extensive work
with the new spray la being
done throughout Klamath basin.
Results look promising at the
present time, Sehloferstoln mid,
but definite outcome of experi
ments will not bo known until
next year. A full report on the
situation as tnr as obtainable
will be released this fall, he
stated.
Possibilities of 2'4-D are le
gion, the control supervisor ad
mitted, and although tne sub
stance Is hard to obtain now
and its use is in experimental
and elementary stages, It Is con
ceivable that a good commer
