Good alsike clover qualifies only when seeded in a pasture mix ture containing at least TS per Potato Disease Inquiry Begun Potato disease spread investi gations outlined for the 1946 growing season in Klamath tountv started this week. Dr. 1 J. H. Milbrath. OSC plant path ologist, Don C. Mote, head of the entomology department and OSC, and Joe Shun, consulting entomologist from the Portland area, started investigations by conducting an insect survey in cooperation with the Klamath county agent's office. According to W al t r Jen drzejewski, assistant county agent, numerous insects were found on ditch bank weeds. In sects observed included several species of aphid?, leaf hoppers, lygus bugs, psyllids and some western beetle. The western potato beetle is common here. The insect is a chewing insect. Considerable leaf perforation is caused by the beetle. This insect is not to be confused with the potato flea, beetle or the Colorado potato beetle, neither of which occur in the Klamath basin. Of more particular interest to growers of potato seed is the occurrence at this time of aph ids, leaf hoppers and lygus bugs on ditch bank weeds. Popula-! tions of these build up on such ditch bank and fence row weeds and move over into adjacent po tato fields as the young plants emeree. Aphids Spread Disks Aph ids have definitely been proved to spread the leaf roll and mosaic virus diseases of po tatoes. Some species become more numerous than others and consequently are a greater fac tor in disease spread. Colonies of four to 12 young aphids strung out behind one mature female were observed on Chinese lettuce, lambsquar ter, rabbit brush, nettles and even on tules. One female will produce eight or more young per day under favorable condi tions. A number of different aphid species were represented in those observed. Experimental work with leaf hoppers and lygus bugs in con nection with spread of leaf roll and mosaic has not been as ex tensive as that with aphids. Re sults have not been as conclu sive in proving that those in sects are responsible for spread ing the disease. Disease spread investigations scheduled for 1946 include clas sification of insects and periodic counts to establish records for use ag the basis of sound con trol programs. Control in 1946 will depend largely on 5 per cent DDT dusts and DDT oil sprays. New er insecticides which show con siderable promise, including one known as 6-6-6, will be includ ed in experiments. Periodic in sect population counts will be made in treated areas and in uncontrolled areas to determine effectiveness of control.

Di vision of irrigated pasture into several parts, with rotation graz ing results in increased pasture yields. Application of bam yard manure as well as ammonia phosphate, triple phosphate and sulnhatcd ammonia helps to maintain high production. Sul fur also seems to be beneficial. 2-fD KlfleT Not Approved The Klamath County ACA committee has been notified that the new weed killine chemical 2-4-D will not qualify tor the weed control oractice payment under the 1946 agricultural con servation program. State PMA committee apDroval of the new weed killer has been withheld on the basis of a reoort from the experiment station at Oregon Slate college that "there is in sufficient evidence to warrant the final recommendation for the 2-4-D in combating peren nial noxious weeds." Hope is seen that the material will be effective against morn ing glory, but the outlook is less optimistic for such weeds as whitetoo and Canada thistle. Recognizing that a considerable amount of 2-4-D will be applied by farmers this year, the state committee has said that it may be approved for 1947 if good re sults are obtained. Alsike Seed Bonus To Be Seven Cents A payment of 7 cents per pound for all 1946 Alsike clover seed sold into commercial chan nels prior to January 1947, will be made. Dealers receipts for all seed sold before December 31 should be saved and turned into the local AAA office this fall at crop reporting time. Na tional acreage of Alsike seed is estimated to be tremendously short of requirements. Speaking of Alsike. the aver age acre of this clover in the Klamath basin in 1945 showed a gross Income of SI 30.00 per acre. Present AAA farm sign up shows a considerable increase in acreage. Feed Ceilings Hike Meets Rise In Cost OPA has given mixed feed ! manufacturers permission to ' raise their ceiling prices imme-; diately to reflect recent grain : and feed ceiling increases. Pre viously, manufacturers had to select a "pricing day" to which 1 their prices would be held for ; the current pricing week. I Flashes Of Life i BAD BUSINESS EVANSV1LLK. Ind., May 31 IrV) When business is good George J. Zimmerman's Job is no good and business has been so good lately that Zimmerman couldn't make a living. So he quit. Zimmerman had been referee in bankruptcy for the Evansville division of the southern Indiana federal court 17 years. The Job is on a fee basis and the fees dwindled so much that lie re signed. , BUMPER LUCK CROP FARMER CITY, 111., May 31 (.VI If finding four-leaf clovers means good luck, Farmer George Crate is going to have lots of it. After he found 40 four-leaf clovers, one five-leaf and one six leaf on his farm he took the batch over to show neighbor farmers Frank Schooley and Virgil Sheldon in case there were any who doubted his pick ings. Crate ;aid four-leaf clovers generally are found in pairs, so he's going to look around for the other five and six-loals. NEEDED-HIM CHESTERTOWN, Md.. May 31 (fP Police Chief Samuel E.

Morse Gives Account Of Feed Problem Efforts Farm Machine Price Ceilings Are Raised An increase of 5 per cent in the list prices of farm machiiv ery has been authorized by the OPA. Ceiling on farm machin ery repair and replacement j parts remain unchanged. There fore, according to the OPA, farmers will pay on the average 3 per cent more for new equip ment and repair parts. Manu facturers will receive a net in crease of 10 per cent of which about half will be absorbed through dealer margins. In a telegram to The Herald and News, Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon said today that the entire Oregon congressional del egation is exerting every possi ble effort to find a solution to the Oregon poultry and live stock feed problem. Here is the telegram: "Frank Jenkins, Herald nud News: "Wish to assure you that en tire OrcKou delegation without exception is doing all it possi bly can in rapacities lxin as in dividuals and united delegation to find some solution to Oregon feed problem in order to avoid tremendous losses to poultry and livestock producers. Iu behalf of entire delegation I made long speech last week on senate floor setting forth full statement of facts. - "Following that speech entire delegation met with president of United States who advised us that he would Instruct secretary of agriculture to see what ho could do about providing re lief. In fact in our presence he called agriculture secretary and asked him to see Ervin Peterson, Oregon state department of agri culture, and representatives from our delegation for further conference on problem. We asked Harris Ellsworth to go with Peterson to agriculture sec retary and I wish to assure farm ers of Oregon that Ellsworth and Peterson presented every possi ble argument and fact which I think clearly support our claim for assistance from government in remedying great Injustice be ing done poultry and livestock producers who need substitute feeds to save themselves from great financial loss as well as to save food in form of needed pro duction which otherwise will be wasted. "However, Peterson and Ells worth were unable to get any definite commitment from de partment other Uuin promise that department officials would endeavor to see what could Iw done about buying substitute feeds iu middle west and ship ping them at once into Pacific northwest. When it Ivrcninr evi dent no progress was being made with problem, Senator Cordon in behalf of entire delegation sent President Truman letter setting forth in great detail ad ditional facts concerning prob lem, pointing nut that it affects not only Oregon but several other states. As yet we have re ceived no response from While House to this Inst presentation of facts. "This morning I talked to Undersecretary of Agrirulture Dodd, who. as you know, is fel low Orrgoniau, who assured me they were doing everything pos sible to try to find some substi tute feed in middle west for shipment to Oregon, but hud not been able locate any consider able quantity up to present. I again impressed upon him Im portance of borrowing from gov eminent wheat supply sufficient wheat to carry us over emer gency because, as he and I both know, large quantities of wheat now in possession of federal gov ernment and scheduled for ex port will not actually be shipped for many weeks. "Hence borrowing onrt of that wheat to meet feed needs of Oregon will not lie taking it out of mouths of hungry people abroad becnuse croo from south west will bo ready for ship ment long before amount of wheat we need to borrow to solve emergency could be shlpoed anvway. No one in ag riculture department denies soundness of this argument which ' Oregon delegation hns emphasize and re-cmphiiHl.ccd. Hut they keep telling us thero Is nothing they can do about It without orders from While House. Wo are up against same old buck passing game which characterizes so much of Inef ficiency and mistakes of various government agencies. "1 send you this detailed wire bceauso mall and telegrams 1 am receiving seem to Indicate that impression is u broad in Ore gon that thoso of us on Oregon delegation arc not doing all we can to solvo this problem. My answer to that la that if people, of Oregon could only observe united fight Its. delegation nits been putting up on this Issue and all other Issues affecting state, they would lx mighty proud of way we have been attempting to protect Oregon's interest. As to this feed issue, I urn not particu larly encouraged iiImuiI ultimate success. Hut as Undersecretary of Agriculture Dodd told me this morning, if there Is any possi ble way for department to help work out solution It will be done. I can assure you that each and every one of us on Oregon dele gation Is continuing doing ev erything we can to find solution to feed problem in order to stop great Injustice which is being dune.
