The May 1960 die-off of fish eating birds and its recurrence this spring and summer, which laboratory studies indicated were associated with the use of certain insecticides in the Klamath Ba sin, has caused the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife much concern. As a result of these bird losses associated with insecticide appli cations, and other problems with insecticides elsewhere in the United States, the bureau issued a directive prohibiting the use of chlorinated hydrocarbons such as alclrin. dicldrin, hcptachlor, toxa- phene. etc. on refuge lands oni which it has jurisdiction. A new chemical named Sevin, considered relatively safe to wildlife, was used. There were 3.950 acres treated with 'i lb. of Sevin per acre. 1,875 acres on Tule Lake Refuge and 2,075 acres on Lower Klamath Refuge, 700 acres of which received a second application. A post spray inspec tion of the areas sprayed by the1 U.S. Department of Agriculture. Pest Plant Control Division re vealed a mortality rate varying from 70 per cent to 98 per cent with mortality ranging from 95 per cent to 98 per cent in most fields. To date, reports from per mittces indicate good results on grasshopper and army worm eon trol with Sevin. The U.S. Department of Agri culture supervised and financed the control of grasshoppers on lands farmed by refuge person nel; the permittees were respon sible for control on share cropped Jands on Lower Klamath Refuge. An aerial survey of the Klam ath Basin National Wildlife Re fuges by Bureau of Sport Fisher ies and Wildlife Biologists on Aug. 24-25 revealed that the waterfowl population was approaching the three-quarter million mark as mi grant ducks and geese moved down from the north. Though the early migrant build-ups of most species are comparable to those of 1959-1960, pintail ducks are down 16 per cent. A recapitulation of the botulism problem on the Tule Lake and Lower Klamath refuges revealed Year Prosoects Expect Economy To Strengthen - Li ' t O e o ' 4 ' Prospects for a general strength ening of the economy in the ye-ir ahead point to mixed trends in Oregon. Nationally, industrial produc tion, construction, retail sales, and income levels appear o. their way to new heights bring ing an end to the shortest reces sion since World War II, say Oregon State University agricul tural economists. However, agricultural income is likely to be spotty as usual- higher prices for many farm products offset by a tightening up in the livestock industry. Temporary stabilization of Ore gon's fluid milk market has added a recent encouraging note. Also, little recent change in the prices of goods and services farmcs need for production has bright ened the farm picture in contrast to the past several years of ris ing costs. Oregon trends in agriculture for the coming year are re viewed by the economists in the current issue of "Oregon Farm and Market Outlook." Oregon residents may obtain free copies of the outlook circular from lo cal county extension agents or the OSU Bulletin Clerk, Corval lis. In addition to reviewing gencr- al economic trends, the circular gives the outlook for livestock grain, hay, and seed crops. Oregon lamb markets in 1962 may move up from this year's depressed prices, but cattle and hog prices appear headed toward gradually lower levels. Odds arc that cattle prices will continue the gradual downtrend for the next two or three years, report the economists. Cattle andhog numbers, region. ally and nationally, are on the increase but sheep inventories are being reduced, according to latest USDA reports. However, lamb prices are expected to av- eraee near present levels for he rest of liHil belore prices im irove. Support prices for 1962 Pacific orthwcst wheat probably will be about 21 cents a bushel higher nan for the 1961 crop which gen erally sold above support lev els. This means prices may be at least as high as those prevail ing recently.

Shannon- & Sons of Tulare, Calif. Larry Myers Photo Noxious Weeds Ta led By-Ribbons tne nortnwest on July l were only 60 per cent as large as a year earlier. Stocks of grain sorghums were smaller whib corn and oats were about the same. Feed grain supplies from 1911 indicate more barley but lessl corn and oats. Little or no change is expected in the market price of corn and oats. Hay prices in Oregon should be as high or higher in 1962 than Oiey were this year. Northwest hay is likely to be shipped un der emergency programs in'o northern plains states and Mon tana where hay crops were bad ly hurt by drouth. Also, drough hit several major hay-producing areas in Oregon and the northwest this year, and chances are that hay stocks in this region w ill be smaller next spring than they were this year. Common ryegrass seed prices in 1962 especially later in the season are expected to be down from this year's high as a result of larger plantings now indicated for this fall. However, some of the new varieties probably will bring premium prices. Perennial ryegrass acreage increasing and keeping seed prices under pressure. Again, plantings of new varieties are recommended wherever clean land and isolation is possible. Crimson clover seed prices are predicted to hold near 1961 lev els. Fine-bladed turf grass seed prices are still in trouble. Carry- ored ribbons are tied to fences and posts in Lake County? Even though the ribbons may be bright, their meaning is not! Each rib bon indicates a patch of noxious weeds, says Bill Moser, Lake County extension agent, in charge1 of the weed control project. The more- common noxious weeds have been marked with a special color, while the other weeds are flagged with white rib bon. The color code is as fol lows: Orange Canada thistle; red morning glory: green Rus sian knapweed; yellow toadflax; blue white top; wine water hem lock: white all other noxious weeds. The weed color coding is part of the weed survey which is now heing done in Lake County. As the weeds are located along pub lic roads they are marked with colored tape, total acreage is es timated and record is made of their locations. All this is to aid future weed control measures in Lake Countv. By marking the weed patches in the field, herbicide applicators will be able to quickly and easily ocalc and spray noxious weeds The estimation of total acres in volved and the record of weed infestations will allow county offi cials and other interested persons to accurately and easily see what progress is being made. This will also help in spotting new weed infestations and new infestations of old or common weeds. HKHAl.l) AN'lT NKW.S, Klamath FaluTtrr! Tuesday.

OSU Schedules Landscape Classes Design and planting of public md private landscape areas will be highlighted at a special land scape study course to be held at Oregon State University Oct. 26! to 29. according to Donald J. Mar- tel. head of the OSU department of landscape architecutre. This will be the third in the series of four Landscape Design Study Courses that make up the landscape design program of the . National Council of State Garden Clubs. The series is being soon- 1 sored in this area by the Ore gon Federation of Garden Clubs, in cooperation with the OSU co operative extension service and department of landscape archi tertti'e. The series was set up to help garden club members, people in tle landscape profession, and oth- . er interested persons gain a bet- tects Horn across tne state, as ; ter understanding of the landscape well as faculty members of OSU needs of homes, gardens, parks, roadsides, and city developments. While this is the third course in the series, each course is a com plete unit and everyone is wel come to attend whether he has completed the fust two courses or not. At the third course, those at tending will study design and planting of public and private gar den areas, use of color, accessor ies and small trees and shrubs in landscapes, and contemporary trends in landscape design. There also will be study sessions on re cent history nf landscape archi tecture, planning and loning. de velopment of small parks and playgrounds, and a discussion on practical w ays to use landscape j theory in civic work. Prolcssional landscape archi-! and the University of Oregon, will serve as teachers for the course. While the series is aimed pri marily at development and con servation of civic and larger outdoor areas, much of the in-, formation can be applied directly to homes and other small areas. Those attending the first two courses said they obtained a wealth of ideas for improving and beautifying their own homes. Fee for the course will be $10.
