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

kind of reactions nature uses to
transform one nutrient into an
other, to activate hormones, or
to build tissue. 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. The OSU biochemist has done

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

mixture, permitting a hot saw

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

Spray Caution Advised
ALTURAS The Modoc County
agriculture commissioner, Loring
White, warned this week that us
ers of Ruclcn, Co-Ral, and other
livestock dips and sprays should
practice certain precautions in ap
plying to livestock.
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. '

inner proposed ieoerai grain
legislation introduced since the
May 21 national wheat referen
dum would tend to price wheat
away from grain-feeders and aims
to limit wheat production to do
mestic food uses and subsidized
exports, he reported.
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

tors, and

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.

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.
When possible, Gates suggests
that range users consider hold
ing their livestock on feed for an
additional two or three weeks or

them on the range in the spring.
Deferred use is needed in order
to allow vigor to return to the
native grasses, he stressed.
However, he added, seeding is
a must in areas where no grass
es exist under the killed er eying
sage. Unless action Is taken to
seed these areas, undesirable!
range plants, such as Medusa-
head or rabbitbntsh, will move!
in to fill the vacuum left by the
moth.
The heaviest Oregon infesta
tions are in Lake, Harney and
Malheur counties. However, the
insect is found throughout East
ern Oregon's sage and grass eotm-j
try as well as m Northern Cali
forma, Nevada and Idaho,
This is the first time that such
an outbreak o! the Arsga has
been recorded. 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. Gates has
noted that it docs not affect
