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.

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. -
