A new water supply pipeline has been completed at the Klamath Hatchery, and one is under way at the Hood River Hatchery. These are belli? built to replace the old pipelines that have deteriorated with age. A new brood pond Is also under construction at the Hood River plant and one in the planning for the Willamette Hatchery near Oak ridge. Other improvements Include a new residence at Hood River, a new residence and a cold storage plant and grinder room at the Fall River Hatchry, hydroslicers at the Willamette and K'.amatn hatch' eries, and a grinder room at the wizard Falls Hatchery on the Me tolius. Total expenditures for these pro jects will be approximately $240,700. CONFUSION! BUGS! SPUDS! PRICES! Te do or Not lo do Are they worth it? Seams to bt tht problem.

MOSTLY WOOF" Farm Planes Add $3 Billion An addition of nearly S3 billion to annual farm Income in the United States can be attributed direrlly to the use ol aircraft for control of weeds and insects, and in applying fertilizers, according to Texas A&M College, t This seems like a lot of money (and it Is!), but the story of agricultural aviation backs up tile statement solidly. Since the beginning of this phase of agriculture in 1919, the use of aircralt for applying various compounds has increased steadily. Today, according to the Civil Aeronautic Administration, aerial pest control la done in every state on more than 200 different crops. Pri vate aerial applicator firms operating over 7,000 aircraft dispense annually 644.000.000 pounds of dust-type chemicals and 80,000.000 gallons of liquid sprays, adding an estimated $3 billion to annual farm income. rAT KLAMATH Ft u fill SM-SPt l) pricks:!

San Mateo County Agricultural Commis sioner Max Leonard, and his staff assisted in the planting and growing of the test plot. The camornia Department ol Agriculture also maintains a win ter seed potato test plot at Camp Joseph H. Pendleton, Oceanside, San Diego County, The Oceanside plot is maintained for the purpose of testing foundation lots of seed. The testing of foundation -seed is mandatory under Uie California Administrative Code while the test ing of certified seed is optional. The seed potato certification work of the Department is' a self- supporting program financed by fees paid by growers. The purpose of the seed potato certification pro gram is to provide California grow ers with disease free stocks of seed which will produce more tons per acre of high quality commercial potatoes. INDIANS REPULSED NEW DELHI, India m The Indian government radio reported Saturday 56 Indian demonstrators who entered Portuguese Goa two days ago have been hurled back across the frontier.

Farmers Group Rebuilds Dam LAKEVIEW At a cost of $45,000, the Lakeview Water Users, Inc., a. farmer-owned irrigation corporation, has just completed rehabilitation of its Drews Dam on the Westside, reports Tom Craw ford, manager of the Irrigation company. The federal government estimated it would cost $689,000 for the job, he said. In 1951 the Federal Bureau of Reclamation, after a three year survey, submitted a report In which it recommended reconstruc tion of the Goose Lake project at a cost of $2,617,000 with an esti mated 5089,000 to be used to re habilitate Drews Dam. , The reclamation bureau insist ed on obtaining a deed to the pro ject as security for its proffered loan. The board of directors of Ihe Lakeview Water Users, Inc. turned down the federal offer and, using its own and rented equip ment, completed the necessary work on Drews Dam at a cost of $45,000. Drews Dam, which was built in 1909. is the chief source of supply of the Goose Lake Valley project. Impounding 62,000 acie. feet of wa ter. The farmers who arc served by the 10.000 acre irrigation pro tect, purchased the water rights, dams and canals In 1935 and hav successfully operated It ever since.

A tractor operators' contest, open to one club member lrom each countv, will test both driving and mechanical skills. It includes a se ries of obstacle courses in hitching to farm implements, backing, turn ing and general handling of the tractor and equipment with skill, rpced and safety. Contestants also will iuspect an old tractor for me chanical and safety defects and tractor operation. Also added to this year's com petition is an exhibit in conserva tion of Oregon's natural resources. Exhibits will feature conservation of soil, water, forests, range or wildlife. They will be judged on workmanship, attractiveness, and educational value and leaching ol approved conservation practices. Another special event is an euu cational livestock marketing pro cram at the Portland union stock yards, September 7. Club exhibitors who sell market stock through the yards will see their animals sold, learn how the stockyards operate. and will tour a packing plant and retail meat market. Club members have the option to sell animals pri vately or to take tnem nome. Also for the first time, 4-H'ers enrolled in any project can par lirinnte in individual as well as team demonstration.?.

Basin Invaded By Bad Weed Another bad weed has made its appearance in Klamalh County and was found for the first time a few days ago. Its common name Is Marlahan mustard. Another name Is Dyer's woad, Its scientific name is lsatis Tinctoria L. This weed Is another mustard with a biennial or perennial root habit; reproduction is from both 3eed and roots. It is a proline seed producer and spreads rapidly. The plant grows erect from one to three feet tall, having smooth stems much branched at the top. The basal leaves are oblong or lanco shaped three to four Inches long, having leaf stems about the same length as the leaf. The upper leaves are narrow and clasp the main stems with car like projec tions. Flowers are small and yel low. Seed pods are about one-hall Inch long, oblong In shape with wing similar to fan weed- when ripe the pods have a purplish gray color. The weed has been giving con siderable .trouble in Scott Valley, both In pastures and grain fields and could be a real nuisance here !f it ever became established. Nevada Drought Areas Toured The Nevada state drought com mittee Is surveying parched areas pf Nevada to support a possioie request to the federal government for drought aid. Governor Charles Russell has given assurance that everything possible will be done to Ret the aid for any sections of the state needing It. The committee rorls that thus far it has found only about two thirds of the normal hay crup be ing produced in the Lovelock area. The committee also reported that some ranchers In the Humboldt River area aro pasturing olf their hay production fields. 4-H NEWS MERRILL SHEEP CLUB The Merrill Sheep Club had its last meeting August 12th.

William J. Burnett, chairman of the Klamath County Agricultural Stabilization and Con servation Committee stresses thil point because of the many queries reaching his oiilce. The questions indicate, the chair man points out, that some are un der the ImDresslon that the period of ownership starts when the lambs or yearlings are contracted tor. Actually, the period of ownership starts when the lambs or year lings are delivered. In the case ol feeding. If the feeder buys the lambs or vearlings with the wool on and actually owns them for 30 dava before marketing, he is en titled to the wool payment. If owned by the feeder less than SO days, tile previous 30-day owner. usually the producer, is emmea to the payment. In any case, cnairman ournei. explains, the one entitled to tht payment must make application and must certify that he has owned the lambs or yearlings for at least 30 days. The application for pay ment and the necessary ownership certification must be sent to the County Agricultural Stabilisation and Conservation office. Payments will be made after all records of 1955 wool sales made between April 1, 1955 and April 1, 1956 are known. The amount of the payment to the grower will be based on the percentage needed to bring the average return to wool growers up to 62 cents per pound. Chairman Burnett emphasises again that since the payment Is based on a percentage of what the wool grower receives for his wool, the higher the price the Individual grower receives, the greater hl payment. He urges growers to get applications in to the county ASO office as soon after the sale as possible and not later than 30 days after the close dt the markettnf year.
