lands on Lower Klamath Refuge.
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

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

An aerial survey of the Klam

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.

Year Prosoects Expect
Economy To Strengthen
- Li '

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.

Noxious Weeds Ta

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.

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.
More information and enrollment
forms can be obtained from the
