Management Effects
Pasture Production '
' The management of grazing Tule
' lake pastures may have greater ill
' fluence mxro production, feed qual
ity and the botanical composition
of a pasture than any of the other
(actors associated with growth and
development reports Ken Bagholt,
Tulelake Farm Advisor. The im
portance of grating management
has been rtcoenlMd for years. Only
recently has there been enough ex
perimental evidence to support the
Idea of controlling the natural grat
ing babiis of livestock and to ue
this method to improve value, to
maintain a better pasture longer,
and to attain more rapid weight
gains or higher milk production at
less cost.
The Farm Advisor reports that
mna Tulelake pastures may be
over-grated" or "under-grated.
By this he means that they may
carry too many cattle or not
enough cattle per acre. This Is also
caused by not cross fencing pas
tures but trying to grate one large
Spray, Dust
Allay Blight
- Ttmelv application of sprays and
dusts will prevent most of the
damage caused by late blight of
celery, according to Dr. E. K..
Vaughan. plant pathologist tor the
Oregon State college experiment
nation. . .-
Consistently good results have
been obtained In tests with ziram,
trlbasic copper sulfate and Ortho
cide 406. Dr. Vaughan has report
ed in the current issue of Oregon
Vegetable Digest, quarterly publi
cation Issued by the OSC experi
ment station.
Fungicides to control celery
blight should be applied during dry
' summer weather at 7 to 10-day
intervals. Cost of such applications
has proved small compared with
the increased value of the celery
crop. Crops harvested early can
be sprayed at 14-day intervals with
success.
Celery blight Is caused by a fun
gus which Is present in the soils
of all major celery growing areas
of Oregon, according to Dr. Vaughan
It lives from one season to the
next in decaying celery stocks and
leaves and produces spores which
are carried by wind and insects
to new celery plants.
The July issue of Oregon Vege
table Digest also includes informa
tion on new vegetable varieties and
a study of cucumber mosaic virus.
The picking operation is cited. by
OSC scientists as one of the major
ways is which cucumber mosaic
virus is spread. In a test last year,
picked rows had about 21 percent
more diseased plants than those
left unpicked.
This makes it extremely Import
ant, say the scientists, to keep to
a minimum the amount of disease
brought to the plant before pick
ing. One way to accomplish this
is to apply insecticides to control
the insects which help spread the
early infection. Pickers who have
been working in diseased areas
should wash their hands thoroughly
; before moving into healthy plant
areas.
acreage rather than dividing It Into
several small pastures.
Bagholt says any pasture which
is going to seed should be clipped,
otherwise It will become course and
and tufty and the cattle will not
receive enough food value from the
pasture. Over grated pastures reach
uie oiner extreme wnereoy mere
is not sufficient feed to supply nu
trients to the livestock and as a
result the pastures become weak
and do not produce maximum
yicUs.
Some valuable Information has
been obtained by clipping studies
of various pasture mixiuies. Treat
ments consisted of cutting at fre
quencies of two weeks, three weeks
tour weeks, and five weeks. These
studies have shown that ill yields
are increased by less frequent clip

Oregon hops were forecast at
16,900,000 pounds, compared with

acreage is 13.000, some 1,900 un

Washington's crop was estimated
at 27 million pounds, only 387.000
pounds under last year's. The
California estimate is 14.400.000

Idaho, however, has an estimat

Soil, Water
Conservation
Book Topic
An analysis of Oregon's soil and
water conservation and use has
been made by a committee from
the Oregon State college agricul
tural slutf and findings and recom
mendations have been published In
a 75-page bulletin which is avail'
able at county extension offices or
uy writing direct to the college.
The committee, headed by J. R.
Beck, assistant director of the ex
tension service, details lis report
under two broad phases: first, they
discuss soil and water conservation
during the past century of Oregon
agricultural aevciopmeni; and,
second, propose a soil and water
conservation and use program for
Oregon.
In the latter, the state is divided
into four districts coastal, aoutli-
ern uregon, Willamette valley and
eastern Oregon.
Discussed are such Items as
sand dunes, stream bank erosion,
drainage, soil surveys, ferllllier
needs, rotations, farm forestry, al
kali, cloud seeding, hill pastures,
Irrigation, and watershed cover.
The committee says man-caused
erosion is present in each of the
state's 36 counties. It is most
noticeable, however, on non-irrigated
eastern Oregon cropland, on
hill croplands of western Oregon
and on land disturbed by logging
operations throughout the state.
Known improved practices for
minimizing erosion need to be
adapted to 1,800,000 acres, the
committee believes.
"' Potential Irrigation of 700.000 ad
ditional - acres in the state la
largely dependent on three factors:
storage, distribution, and efficient
use of abundant water supplies.
Drainage, to permit sound crop
ping and maximum land use, is
needed on 830.000 acres. The com
mittee also points out that some
present crop rotations are mark
edly deficient from the basic prin
ciple oi sound sou management.
Nearly all soil not in perennial
grass, tney say, would benefit from
Improved practices.
Use of nitrogen ts expected to
increase tenfold In the next 10 to
30 years and 180.000 tons of lime
stone are now needed each year.
About 18.000,000 acres of publlcally
owned grazing land passed its
peak productivity about 1903. 1

Under Study
An expert on tree diseases. Dr.
J. 8. Boyce of Yale university, haa
come to the Oregon forest products
laboratory tilts aummer to collect
and edit four yeara research re
ports on Pomes pinl, a devastating
tree-decaying fungus.
This fungus has gained wide In
roads into Oregon's Douglaa fir for
ests. According to preliminary re
ports, Pontes pint was found in t
to 0 per cenl of nearly W0 Doug
las fir trees located in 14 research
stands.
A professor of forest pathology,
Dr. Boyce's purpose in compiling
this new Information is two-loid.
Tabulation and Interpretation of all
the research on this problem atnee
IB48 will present more accurnte
ways to estimate the amount ol
decay In a particular group of trees.
More exacting estimates will re
sult in better timber utilisation and
make for leva financial risk to lum
ber operators. It will also show Uie
relation of Internal decay to a stand
of timber so It can be determined
what ages and on what locations
the timber should be cut to reduce
losses. Older stands are more apt
to carry this fungus. Dr. Boyce
said.
Spores of this fungus are carried
by wind and usually gain entry
Into a tree through the stubs of
once-existing lower branches. The
spores travel to the heartwood,
causing decay up and down the
inner tree trunk.
Conks, external tell-tale, black
ish upper-surfaced knobs of from
a to 10 Inches broad, which appear
in later development, make It pos
sible to estimate the average fun
gus damage cf a particular stand
of trees.
Fomes plnl research was a co
operative project of aeveral slate,
federal and private agencies, in
cluding the Oregon forest products
laboratory and the Oregon State
college school of forestry. Bruce
Wagg, research division of the state
board of forestry, directed the fun
gus project since 1951.
Dr. Boyce did the first Investiga
tions on this decay In Douglas fir
when he was with the USDA divi
sion of forest pathqloey in Port
land from 1920 to 1928. He be
came director of the Northeastern
forest experiment station of the
U.S. forest service in 1928. Since

Either way you uit if, you'rt sure it's
applied scientifically... by experts
who know local soil conditions
m
NITROGATION SERVICE
Your distributor meters Shell NH
(Agricultural Ammonia) from cylinders
directly into the irrigation water. From
his experience with local crops, he knows
exactly how much ammonia to apply.
Then the nitrogen-rich ammonia, in
ihe proper concentration, it distributed
evenly by tha 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 NH3, 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 nitrogrm-rich ammonia goes
where it will do the crop the most
good.
