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

aircraft dispense annually 644.000.000 pounds of

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

by the 10.000 acre irrigation pro

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.

7ool Payment
Rules Told
Actual ownership of lambs and
vearlinbs at least 30 days before
slaughter is required for the pro
ducer or the feeder to qualify for
payment under the National wool
Act of 1951. 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.
