OPS-USDA Conspiracy Reported The American Farm Bureau F elation, In ll'a June 0 edition of the Newa Letter, reported the Of fice of Price Stabilization and the Unlled Hlntea Department of Agrl culturs conspired to cut. farm piicei. j The paper quoted Ben. Oeorge Aiken, Vermont, In a speech May 3D, In which he charged the con spiracy. "OPB olflclals admit," Aiken auld, "ihey are vlolullng the law. They admit they were doing It wllh full knowledge, conaent and ap proval of the Secretary of Agricul ture." Aiken chose the soy bean as an example, and chnrged the celling there did the following: "Flrnt, It forces prices down to Ihe fnrinera, and consequently forces income down . , . "Secondly, by fixing a celling price inn soybean "III at twice what It was aelllng for on the mar ket every encourugement Is given I to inunulnctuiers ... of, products uning the oils . . . to raise their prices lo the consumer.

"I wlah I did not have to point out these thing. " he continued, "'llicy are all a part of a pattern these days, to scare the duyllghla out of Hie farmer wllh the threat of low prices, and scare the con aumer with the threat of high prlcea ao that they will accept all kinda of government domination aa a reault of their fenra. It Is a wicked thing to do. But that la what la being done today.

Jr. CfV '" Editor Lane Farm Harvest Set EUGENE IM Lane County's cherry harvest la expected to be In full swing next week, Carl Rob erson, field representative for the Eugene Fruit Orowcra Assn., re ported Monday. He said the cannery Is now re-. celvlng some cherries for process-1 Ing mostly the long - stemmed Wuterliouae variety uned for brln-' Ing. Some Royal Anns are coming In also. Although rains have caused somo i fruit to split, Robertson said pros-1 peels are seen lor an excellent crop this ycar-.probably double ol I Inst year whrh an early liecze ' destroyed many bloasoms. The crop la expected to attract hundreds of atudenla, housewives and oilier local residents to the Job of harvesting the fruit, along with help from migrant laborers. The local FOA cannery expects a pnek of around 15.000 tons. Some where around thnl tonnage will also be Bold by Lnne growers to canneries In other Oregon cities. SCD Meet Thursday l CHILOQUIN Thursday night at 8 iPHTi farmers from throughout Northern Klamath County are ex pected to participate In a hearing al the city hall acre to determine whether lo hold an election for the establishment of an extension of the Poe Valley Soil Conservation District boundaries. The hearing will also set boun daries, all of them within or on those boundaries already adver tised. Proposed Inclusion would add some 2.000.000 acres to the approx imately 200.000 acres presently In cluded In the Poe Valley SCD. State conservation policies are placing emphasis on hearings since election rules have been relaxed, soil conservation men report. Weevil, Lygus Bugs Set Battle in Clover Fields Klamath alMke clover plants have taken enouhh of a beating from frost, weather ard other con ditions so far this season, and farmers don't want any Insects In their lousing things up further. 'I wo types of Insects are ready for eradication from local fields right now, according to the Coun ty Agent's office the clover seed weevil end the lygus bug. Weeds Face Eradication TULELAKE The Modoc County Agricultural Commissioner's office will spray the roadsides of the state and county roads on the Modoc side of the Tulelake basin to con trol five hooked Bassla and Kochla, according to BUI Whitaker, District Agriculture Inspector of Modoc County. Whitaker says he will not spray the roads In front of homes tor fear of damaging trees and shrubs and asks tanners to chop or kill me weeds in tne aitcnes ana bor row pits in front of their homes. These two weeds are becoming i very serious pests in the Tulelake . basin and Farm Advisor Ken Bag hott mentions that they should be controlled now lo prevent seed from scattering in the fields. Bag hott says many farmers have had ! difficulty In harvest barley due to i heavy Infestations of Kochla and five-hooked Bassla. The plants are ' easily killed with 2. 4-D In the I fields and can be controlled on I dltchbanks and roadways with Pen la and oil or 2, 4-D. Earlier this venr the clover root weevil was hit In most fields In this area. The seed weevil Is a small weevil about a thirty-second of an Inch in lengh. Adults "sting" the seed, and hatch eggs within them. Then the larvae begin eating out the seed and destroy It. At present, according to County Agent J. D. Vertrees, adults are quite numerous In the county's clo ver fields. He says dusting la nor mally timed when approximately 10 per cent of the blossoms are turning brown. However, Vertrees suggests tim ing the weevil dusting this time with the lygus bog control, which In turn are proven damagers ol alfalfa and alsike ciover. Lygus are plant bugs about a half Inch long familiar to most farmer? In this area. Since they fly quite readily, they migrate back and forth between fields, consequently set-, ting lead for control timing. As alfalfa Is cut to hay the bugs migrate into the clover fields. In secticide applications should be timed to coincide with the hay-cutting. DDT dust for the control of both these insects should be applied within the next two weeks, Vertrees says, and preferably on a sunny day when they will be active. A Buy It for .... a at Thompson's Norge Automatic WASHER See Poqe 10 ralnv spell may hold up that ac tivity. - Vrrtreea prescribes: DDT dust, either 10 per cent al 30 pounds per acre or five per cent at 40 pounds for effective control. Dust either with or wllhout sulphur Is elfcctlve, he says. However, suU phur may give added protection during the growth season from mil dew which sometimes builds up In harmful amounts In our-irrigated clover fields. Timing Is Important, Vertrees re Iterated, and growers shouldn't take too long to dust preferably, within the next two weeks.

From his experience with local crops, he knows exactly how much ammonia to apply. Then the nitrogen-rich ammonia, in Vie proper concentration, is distributed evenly by the water. . . soaks with the water into the soil where it immediately begins to feed the growing plants. NITROJECTION SERVICE This is a direct soil-injection of Shell NHj, made with special equipment supplied by your Shell distributor. Again, from his local experience, he knows the proper depth to which the ammonia should be injected, and the exact amount to be applied. As a result, the nitrogen-rich ammonia goes where it will do the crop the most good. SOLD BY WALKER BROS. MERRILL, OREGON PHONE 4211 'Service mark ere'saiyiOWER that really makes HAV!
