Selection Of Seed Most Vital Factor In Klamath Basin Potato Production Selection of potato seed is the most important single factor de termining profits in Klamath basin potato production accord ing to Walter Jendrzejewski, assistant county agent. Crop rotations, land prepara tion, seed treatment, rate and date of planting, fertilizers, pro per water application, efficient machinery for planting, cultiva tion and digging and good stor age and grading facilities are factors which have been well Leaf Roll Increasing In Oregon Leaf roll, a dangerous virus disease of potatoes, seems to be on the increase in parts of Ore gon. Growers are particularly concerned and are attempting to find seed free of this disease. While leaf roll effects the growth of vines and decreases yields as well as quality during the growing season, the main loss comes from the development of net necrosis or internal brown ing in the tubers, making it diffi cult to make grade as the brown ing can -not be seen until the po tatoes are cut. Where leaf roll develops early; in the field, con siderable, necrosis or. browning develops, in the tubers to such an. extent rthat . many cannot make grade.- at digging- time. Where the spread of this disease is late in the season,;ldevelop ment of browning seldom effects the grade. Potatoes, however, may show little evidence of the disease because of its late devel opment but still carry the dis ease. They are not good , for seed. Frosts late in the season bring about a condition of browning that is particularly hard to de tect from browning caused by leaf roll. Browning caused by freezing is' not a disease and doesn't effect quality, of the seed. Certain fungus causes dis coloration in the stem end and these too are seldom comparable to. leaf roll and are generally not tuber perpetuated. Dwarfed Plants ' Seed potatoes containing leaf roll produce dwarfed potato plants with rolling and leathery texture of the leaves ease is spread This dis- from diseased Slants to healthy plants by plant ce or aphid's, therefore contin ued, warm weather greatly in creases insect population, there by . increasing spread of the dis ease, v Certain aphids are known to be-carriers of the virus of leaf roll, A peculiar characteristic of leaf roll is that tubers containing th& disease when planted pro duce tubers that do not have in ternal browning, although the tubers so . produced are very mych smaller and many of them unmarketable. However, potato plants infected with- leaf roll bv infects, passing- from an infected ! plant produce .tubers effected ! with internal browning and from ! tnese jpiants further current sea son' spread takes place. ' Control For control of this serious dis ease, the Oregon Experiment sta tion advises the following: 1. Use clean seed. ... ;2. Discard diseased tubers. 3. Rogue diseased plants. .. 4. Maintain an isolated seed Plot. 'To the above might be added dusting when an undue number oi insects appear, particularly where there may be a trace of leaf roll inthe seed or in adja cent fields." Rotenone has gen erally been considered as the best dusting material for aphid control although it doesn't last as wdll as other material when ap plied to the,plant,. thereby caus ing redusting. Nicotine sulphate is more lasting, but seems to be very difficult to obtain Experi mental work with DDT doesn't seem to be too conclusive as yet. A complete checkup of the vari ous Kinds of dust and methods of application is being made by the cotmty agent office, as it is an ticipated that- considerable dust ing may. be undertaken in 1946. thought out by Klamath growers. Growers, for the most part, fol low sound practices in regard to these production factors, Jen drzejewski said. As a general rule less atten tion is given to seed selection or seed production. In many cases plantings are made with seed carrying a high percentage of yield reducing diseases. A yield reduction of approxi mately 10 sacks per acre is the result of planting seed which carries 10 milk mosaic Infec ter tubers. Yield of an affected plant is reduced about one-third. The disease can be detected only in growing plants where a crinkling of leaves and a slight yellowish mottling are determin ing symptoms. Mild mosaic can not be recognized in tubers. Mild mosaic is the least serious yield reducers of any disease occur ring in Klamath potatoes. Ten per cent leafroll infected plants can be expected to cut yields approximately 30 sacks per acre and furnish the source of current season infection to a large part of the remaining in itially healthy plants. Net necro sis or "Internal browning" oc curs in potatoes produced by po tato plants infected with leaf roll during .the growing season. Leafroll can be discovered in seed stock tubers. Any seed lot in which leafroll discoloration is discovered in more than one per cent of the tubers is risky to plant. In a year favorable to in sect development wide current season spread is certain to occur. If cut seed is used and discol ored tubers discarded much leaf roll can be eliminated from this planting. Early roguing-" of "diseased plants in commercial fields has been suggested as a means of preventing current season spread and its attendant tuber discol oration. Such roguing is possible with the type of leafroll known here in the past. Another strain, however, seems to have occurred. It ap parently causes less discolora tion in the tuber but cannot be recognized in the plant for ap proximately sixty days after emergence. Plants are not affect ed as seriously as with the type of leafroll known here previ ously. We would much rather ' tell you that you are covered than that. we are sorry.

Farmers Warned Not To Burn Ferns CORVALLIS, Feb. 21 (P Oregon State college officials warned farmers today not to start burning up ferns unless they are going to plant grass on the site. Burning fern without subse quent seeding only causes a heavier crop of fern than ever, D. D. Robinson, extension forest er, reported. Klamath Basin Co-Op Elects New Officers TULELAKE, Feb. 21 The Klamath Basin Cooperative, at the annual meeting here Mon day, elected Jack Marshall of Olene, Karl Dehlinger of Henley, Jess Smith of Olene, S. F. Perry and Albert Larson of Tulelake to serve as a board of directors. Larson was the only member of the new group to be reelected. Hold-over members of the board are George Frey and Webb Staunton of Tulelake. Re tiring members are Earl Mnck and Rex High of Henley. The new board meets Friday at 2 p. m. at the Tulelake Cooperative store to elect a permanent chair man. C. T. Haggerty, manager of the local business, outlined ob jectives for this year including the development of petroleum products, hardware sales, chem icals for weed eradication, live stock and poultry feed lines and sales on barley and alsike clover for seed. Other speakers were Bert Wilcox, field man for Pacific Supply of Klamath Falls; Don Gillespie, manager of Pa cific Supply, and Homer Smith, manager of the Lakeview Co operative. The entire board of directors from here, including Haggerty, with V. G. RienmilTer, Charles Snyder, manager of the Klam ath Falls Cooperative Feed store, Sam Enman, Percy Dixon of Henley, Earl Mack and Fred McMurphy, Tulelake, will attend the annual meeting of Pacific Supply at Walla Walla, Wash., March 4 and 5. Dairymen Rap Price Controls WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (iP) Organized dairy farmers leveled their guns at the administration's farm price control policies today, contending they imperil future milk production. The National Cooperative Milk Producers federation, at a special meeting attended by 175 dele gates from various parts of the country, adopted a resolution calling for an end to price con trol and government food sub sidies. The resolution, to be laid be fore the house banking commit tee which is considering legisla tion to extend price control an other year beyond June 80, as serted that rising costs of pro duction are forcing "wholesale disposal of dairy herds and are rapidly drying up the nation's milk supply." Presenti Case The federation laid its case be fore more than 100 lawmakers at a dinner lost night. John Brandt, of Minneapolis, president of the federation, told the gathering that the country faces an "acute shortage" of but ter and other dairy products. "The present situation with resDect to shortages of dairy products and black markets," he saici, is tne result oi improper application of price controls and rationing. Butter is a good exam ple of the chaos caused by price controls that do not apply across the board. Butter has been con trolled out of existence except in the black market."- Brandt referred to the fact that cream which competes with butter for the farmers' butterfat production is not subject to price control.

Farm Crop Goals Drop Recommended national farm production goals for 1046 as an nounced November 30 culled for 358 million acres of farm crops. This is less than the 1943 goal, but Si million acres more than was actually planted during 1945. Sugar beets showed tho great est percentage increaso amount ing to 31 per cent. Continental sugar cane showed 8 per cent in crease indicating effort being made to Increase sugar produc tion. Potatoes showed a recom mended decrease of 16 per cent from the 1945 planted acreage along with recommended in creases for sugar producing crops. Priority is also given on any imported labor for sugar beets. This might be worth some consideration in the Klamath basin, particularly on these soils adapted to production of sugar beets. Stromberg -Carlson Radios. Dorby's Music Co. Slaughterers Told To Obey OPA Ceilings PORTLAND. Oro., Feb. 21 VP) Five Oregon saughlcrcrs weru under injunction today to obey Ol'A price regulations with which tlicy said they wore un able to comply. Federal Juugo Claude McCol loch declared that tho price con trol act forced htm to issue un injunction, "even though it is known ut tho time of issuance that non-willful vloliitlons uro bound to occur." Attorneys for tho packing firms told, tho court they had puld market prices for cattle, varying from day to day, and admitted the monthly average was above that allowable on the quality of slaughtered beef ob tained after grading. They said they were "helpless to prevent" the violation. In signing the order, asked by tho OPA, Judge McColloch declared tho court whs in "llio strange situation, previously un known to our law of being com pelled to treat as valid a regula tion, "even though they know it to be Invalid." He said the case should bo carried to tho supremo court to determine whether tho "courts have becomo mere rubber stamps for executive action." Four Portland firms and Harry Levy, Midget market, Salem, were listed as defendants. Thursday, Feb. 31. 1048 Man Perishes In Rooming House Fire ABERDEEN, Fob. 21 '!)
