County Agent Photo Nature Develops A Defense For Chemicals, Says Expert Worried about possible hazards of the chemical age in which you live? It's no wonder many people are, considering all the drugs, cosmetics, flavorings, preserva tives, dyes, highway gases, and pesticides in addition to nature's own complex materials that a person comes in contact with ev ery day. ' However, an Oregon State Uni Tersity scientist says since these and other many and varied chemicals are here to stay, it's comforting to remember that hu mans and animals always have encountered dangerous chemicals in their environment, and nature has developed a defense against them. Dr. Leon C. Terriere, OSU bio chemist, explains that all living tilings are continually exposed tn a wide variety of natural and synthetic chemicals not required for life. These things must be eliminated from the body whether they are poisonous or not. When ever a foreign organic compound enters the body, right away it be comes involved in a series of bio chemical reactions to remove it from tissues and cells. These re actions are called detoxication. They're chemically simple the Farmers! Loggers!

Detoxication trans forms chemically inert, water in soluble compounds into water sol uble compounds. In this state, they move to the excretory or gans and pass out of the body. Terrier says it's a rare com pound that cannot be modified this way. The extent and speed of the reactions determines how long the foreigner remains in the tissues and how extensive its harmful effect may be. In studies with animals, it has ben found that ability to detoxi fy compounds varies from species to species, individual to individu al, and even with respect to sex and age. Although detoxication has been studied for more than 100 years, it's only been within the past six or seven years that scien tists have learned in which cells important steps in detoxication occur. This discovery has opened a new avenue of study. Terriere, whose special interest is pesticides, says he's confident that progress toward selective pesticides sate to man and wild life, livestock and benefical in sects, but effective against in sect pests will come as a result of further comparisons of detoxi cation differences between spe cies.

CHEMICALS 667-2229 Mr chemicals in their environment. There aren't many instances where tests with humans have been used to study detoxication of pesticides. There arc, of course, numerous examples with experimental animals, nearly al ways providing evidence that such processes do occur. And there's plenty of evidence that detoxica tion processes protect humans too. In fact, doctors rely on detoxi cation when they prescribe drugs. anesthetics, and even simple as pirin. If such drugs weren't de toxified, they would remain in the body longer than desirable and might cause harmful side effects Terrier explains. Pesticides entering the human body by chance are detoxified just as are drugs, cosmetics agents,- etc. They don't remain in the body. Instead, they are metabloizcd and excreted. Terrier believes that detoxica tion is a definite and reliable de fense mechanism which protects animals from traces of toxic ma terials in their -environment. As more is learned about detoxica tion, its importance as a protector will be appreciated even more greatly, he believes. Power Saws Can Cause Forest Fire Power saws and tinder-like for est debris add up to forest (ire danger unless proper precautions are taken, warns Charles B. Ross, Oregon State University ex tension forestry specialist. Operators of power saws, trac tors, trucks and other motorized equipment in the woods should be unusually careful ol fire risks this year, the specialist stressed. Sparks from exhausts falling on drv materials can start tires ana the woods have never before been so filled with tinder-like debris. Chain saws are the most nu merous equipment in the woods and the most potent in causing fires, Ross cautioned. Dried moss on downed trees and red slash of dried out twigs and nee dles make highly flammable material in blowdown debris. A chain saw with muffler turned toward a log can start a slow fire on a dry, mossy log when the motor is held in about the same position for a half-minute. Oregon law requires that a fire extinguisher and shovel be kept with the saw to control any fire that may start, Ross re minded. Realizing the unprecedented for est fire danger this season, the Keep Oregon Green Association and chain saw dealers are dis tributing free fire caution tags to be attached to saws. The tags, listing II fire prevention rules, were printed by a chain saw manufacturer, Ross said. Key fire prevention rules for users of chain saws include us ing the proper oil and gasoline mixture, permitting a hot saw to cool for a few minutes be fore refueling, refueling only on I spot cleared to bare ground, cleaning all spilled gas from the engine before starting.

Ntit I Jehu Dan Grain Feed Industry Position Improving The competitive position of Ore gon's grain-feeding cattle and hog industries has improved during the past year and present pros pects indicate the improved posi tion should continue during the coming year, reports f. D. Thom as, Oregon State University ex tension agricultural economist. Thomas makes his comments in the new Oregon Farm and Mark et Outlook circular just published by OSU. Copies are available from county extension officers or from the OSU Bulletin Clerk. Corvallis. Figures on prices received for grains and livestock in Oregon and the Great Plains area show that Oregon cattle feeders and hog raisers recently could buy more local barley with money received from their animals than their corn - feeding Midwest counter parts, Thomas said. A year ago, and frequently in the past, corn and milo feeders in the Midwest had a big price advantage over local producers, the economist noted. The improvement in cattle and swine feeding could spread a year from now to include poul- trymen and other potential wheat feeders in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest if the price spread be tween Northwest wheat and Mid west grains closes as much as now seems likely, Thomas observed. Changes in competitive posi tions stem primarily from higher corn and miio prices east of the Rockies and tower wheat and barley prices in the Northwest during the past year, he explained. These lower prices have advers ely affected incomes of the re gion's cash grain growers Thom as said, but added that these adverse effects have been partial ly or entirety offset by payments to those who participated in 1963 diversion programs. For 1964, income - reducing effects of prospective lower wheat prices could be alleviated in part or entirely through the volun Index Shows Declined From Year Ago By BERNARD BRENNER United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD-The Ag riculture Department's monthly: farm price report shows prices in terms of parity for mid-Septem ber were down live per cent from one year ago.

These sprays carelessly used, can be adsorbed in dangerous amounts through the unbroken skin and may lead to serious ill ness and in many cases hospitaliz ation for the person afflicted, White pointed out. ' County health officer Dr. Lloyd i Shannon and Farm Adviser Cecil! Pierce joined White in suggesting these precautions 1.

Recent and prospective chang es in grain price relationships re flect, to a considerable extent changes in federal grain programs during the past 19 months, Thom as continued. Recent federal grain legislation, administrative action and the May 21 vote have combined to improve the current situation and outlook for North west grain-feeding industries. These developments are import ant to the region's grain growers, the economist said, because they improve chances for the North west to maintain and develop feeding outlets for local grains. Continued over time, this would favor use of much of the re gion's good grain lands and re lated resources to produce more of the meat wanted by the Pacific Coast's growing population, he pointed out. Whether recent regional gams' in competitive position and pros pects are retained will depend considerably on three factors, Thomas believes. These are: 1. Pacific Northwest grain pro ducers, feeders and allied indus try leaders recognizing their com mon interests in relationships be tween grain prices here and in Lhe Great Plains. . Making their problems and preferences known to federal leg islators and program administra tors, and 3. On Congressional and ad ministrative action, as long grain price levels and relation ships are largely manageable un der federal grain programs. Farm Prices lie dipped between mid-August and mid-September while the price of corn, the chief livestock feed, went up. The index for live stock feed prices was the highest for any September since 1956. Corn was selling in mid-Sep-j tember for a national average of $1.21 a bushel. This price was upi two cents from mid-August, and it was 14 cents above the price in mid-September of 1962, Agriculture Department spokes men pointed out, however, that corn prices normally begin to de cline after September as the har- vcst season comes on. mm oomrrs Munssts jonr suresmcR nrat, iw atop suae th iwt atop uuc axmusea enouTm nanus thbo jjjjojjj annus n (sanMturauiiA rmto oohottb, r,o. tm w, nmoo, ouom Crri-tiUfi ."wiiiflit MpnytiftT- hntotiiftl' ft. ff r . .

County Agent Photo Sagebrush Moth Activity Can Be Blessing To Range Management plans are needed to take full advantage of the pos sibilities for range improvement being offered by the sagebrush defoliating moth now devastating sage throughout much of Eastern, Oregon, reports Dillard Gates, Oregon State University exten sion range management special ist. The moth (Aroga Wcbstcri) is working on an estimated six to seven million acres of sagebrush rangeland. Areas badly infested 1962 show evidence of an al most complete kill of sage, but it is still too early to determine the final effects, Gates said. Old- er, stagnated sage stands appear to be the most vulnerable. However, he cautions, range owners, managers and issersj need to be ready to act to take full advantage of the situation, which is much like having large areas of the range chemically treated to kill sagebrush. Gales urges that where sage1 has been killed, range managers take a serious look at the possi bilities ol seeding the area with adapted forage species, primari ly crested wheaSgrass. In other areas, it will be neces : sary to set up a management plan which will encourage already existing perennial grasses ts stage a comeback from sage dom ination, he continued. Tins will be particularly critical next spring.

Gates explained. Although native to rangeland, lit tle is known about the insect. Research conducted at the Uni versity of Idaho determined that eggs arc laid by the moth fa late summer on sage bark and smalt stems. The larvae, hatched m early fall, mine Into sage leaves and overwinter there. The leaf mining continues in the spring when the larvae pull small clusters of leaves together and cover them with z fine web. The larvae pupate within the webbing and emerge as adult moths in late June or July. It now appears that elevation, moisture and plant vigor affect the work of the Aroga.
