Control Of 10 Types Of Veeds Seen For Klamath Death and destruction are forecast for 10 types of weeds lommon to Klamath county torn knockout reports of the potent herbicide 2, 4-D. Harold Schieferstein, superin tendent, county weed control, re torts weeds that have lost their nenace under experiments of 2, I D (2-4 dicholorophenoxyacetic icid) include water nemiocK, nallow or button weed, nettles, Kill thistle, plantian, dandelion, light shade, mustard, Russian thistle and beggar ticks. Eight more varieties respond ing to this control are whiietop, Homing glory, leafy spurge, blue lettuce, smart weed, dock. Bl. John's wort and willow, but complete kill cannot be deter mined on these weeds until next lummer. Russian knapweed, Canada thistle, red root, cat-tails and tules showed stubborn resistance to 2, 4-D, recovering with rapid regrowth from treatments. Inspection Of Seeds Slated February 15 February 15 has been set as a tentative date for inspection of Oregon certified seed sample plots now being grown in Ocean tide, Calif. The test plots are now in their second year and have been made a part of Oregon potato seed cer 1 Ufication requirements. Experi ences proved that ordinary field and bin inspections do not pro vide adequate measure of cur rent season disease spread. Walter Jendrzejewski. assistant county agent said. Index pieces from samples taken at random from every Oregon potato field prior to dig ging time in 1945 are included in the test plot plantings. Ethelene gas is used to break dormancy of seed pieces to speed inspection for disease Quality of seed is dependent upon de gree of freedom from disease, Jendrzejewski said. Virus dis eases such as leaf roll, mild mosaic and rugose mosaic reduce yields, since infected tubers pro duce weak, low-yielding plants. Two Angles The production of disease free seed Is being 'approached from two angles. The traditional method of removing diseased plants by "roguing" Is now being bolstered by a war on insects. Seed growers have used sprays or dusts to reduce insect popu lation to reduce current season disease spread. Isolation of seed plots from fields is also recommended and a few hundred yards is not a barrier to a winged generation of aphids. Nicotine sulphate is effective spray against aphids. Rotenone is an effective dust but DDT has not proved efficient against aphids. Other dust and pray recommendations are being worked out by farm crops men and entomologists at Ore gon State college. It is a known fact that inter nal browning of potatoes is de pendent on current season leaf roll infection, which is depend ent on percentage of tuber-born leaf roll in seed lot, and on' quantity of insects present. C. A. Henderson, county agent, stated that minimum tempera tures in 1945 growing season were higher than average, mak ing a favorable condition for rapid insect population increases. Startling news to farmers is eradication of a whole patch of noxious weeds with one spraying of the growth-regulating hor mone chemical and one season's experiments completed, finds a definite place for 2. 4-D in weed control programs. The wonder chemical can be used in compar- Itivcly light solutions ol spray with killing effect. Dying process varies with tvDes of plants, tap-rooted vari eties succumbing within a week or 10 days. Two, 4-D prevents weed seed from ripening when plants are sprayed during active growing stage. The spray seems to have no permanent sterilizing effect on soil but it has not been complete ly determined what affect it may have on future crops. It is non toxic to livestock, according to limited observations, but until further observations animals should be kept off sprayed areas until plants are wilted past eat ing. Grains Effected Grains seem to be little effect ed by the spray so weeds may be killed on a grain field without harm. Clover snows no perma nent disability from this highly selective herbicide. Amounts of material needed and mixture of SDrays. Dcriod for greatest effect, methods of application, may all be learned in detail at the county aecnt's office, post office building, Klamath Falls. Farmers Get Technical Aid Farmers in Klamath County can now have technical help through the 1946 AAA Conser vation program in planning re organization of irrigation sys tems, planning or staking drain age ditches and dams, water holes or other engineering prac tices. A new project makes it possible to use part of the funds for practice payments to provide conservation services in the form of such assistance. The State Committee has ear marked $30,000 of 1946 funds for that purpose. The amount of such assistance offered in this county will be decided by the county committee and will de pend on demand by local farm ers for such services. The amount of funds set aside for such techni cal help will be deducted from the county allocation for prac tice payments. FPC Sets Value On Electric Project WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (P) The federal power commission today announced determination of an actual legitimate original cost for the Pacific Power and Light company's Cove hydro electric project in Jefferson county, Ore. The commission set the value a factor in rate making at $296,348 for the 1500 horse power capacity project. Y AT UADtMC BtFUTMOfl -" GKKOT AND OHM from.

Sale Of Cover Crop Seed Small To date Oregon producers have sold only slightly more than two million pounds of cover crop seeds to the government under the 1945 seed purchase program. This is the smallest total since the program started in 1940, and only a fraction of the 100 mil lion pounds purchased in 1S43. Committeemen see the small volume of government buying as indicative of the firm demand for Oregon cover crop seed, with the trade handling nearly all of the 1945 crop. The purchase pro gram closes on April 30, giving producers another three months to sell their seed to the govern ment if they desire. The pro gram was established six years ago to guarantee minimum prices to Oregon producers, and to assure supplies of seeds for expanded cover cropping in the southern states. Seed Growers To Drive For Test Service A drive to get more space and more workers for the federal- state seed testing laboratory at Oregon State college, and a re search fund to be used in solving problems arising from the test ing work, has been started by the Oregon Seed Growers league. A special committee headed by E. A. Geary, Klamath Falls, pre pared a report which was adopt ed by the league calling for fur ther action. A crisis in the seed testing service occurred this season when number of samples exceed ed all previous records with no increases in space, and with fur ther complications with a strange germination difficulty, accord ing to reports made to the lea gue. Demands Increase Dr. D. D. Hill, head of the farm crops department which supervises tlie laboratory, showed that demands on the service have increased from 1300 samples submitted for test in 1931 to 12,837 in 1945. and with 12,300 samples for the first six months of the 1945-46 season. He said three times the present space is needed, plus better pay to get and hold trained techni cians. The special committee of the league was instructed to work with college and state officials to arrange for temporary facilities before the next rush season starts, and then to help develop a plan to insure adequate perma nent facilities in the new build ing expansion program under consideration for the college. Considerable emergency re search work has been done at the laboratory from funds from seed testing, but only when this was essential to the service, Dr. Hill reported. A 20-million dollar industry needs more and defi nitely planned research in the seed testing and germination problems constantly arising, he said. Yets Seek Aid To Set Up Farms A sharp Increase In the num ber of returned veterans and farmers from other areas who arc seeking aid in getting set up on farms In Klamath county during tlie past three months is reported by R. L. Lauderdale, county farm security supervisor, courthouse, ; Klamath Fulls. Scarcity of good, developed family-typo units for rent or sale on tlie basis of their worth is the problem most frequently report ed. New five-year loans for live stock, machinery and operating goods have been made to many returned veterans and farmers since V-J Day and many appli cations have been reviewed by tlie county FSA committee, said Lauderdale. Loan applications in process of being completed on February 1, were highest since the early years of the war. While many applications and in quiries, particularly from veter ans, are being received for 40 year farm ownership loans un der the Bankhead-Jones act, very few good farms are being found for sale at reasonable prices. Further increased demands for FSA services arc coming from present borrowers and resident farmers who need credit assist ance in making farmstead im provements and replacements long delayed by the war. Milk ing parlors, building additions, new machinery and water de velopment head most reconver sion plans. Farmers and veterans contem plating use of FSA services are .asked to place applications as soon as possible while funds are still available. The Klamath Falls supervisor's office day is every Monday. - Siromberg-C tllion Radios, Darby's Music Co. r I' m orbowWt DKUSN M-MIIHM WU won't show tracts on linoleum You I w find cut who potttd through your kifdM hn you vm OW Engbttt No-tubbing Wo...'cov it nnx tRl Ktpi Unottvm nwr looking an tailor to dxr too.
