Rust Control Chemical Under Test At Station An experimental chemical which gave highly effective con trol of stripe rust in Omar wheat with one application in 1963 is under test at the Pendleton branch station of Oregon State University's Agricultural Exper iment Station. Stripe rust in 11, year of the last major outbreak of the disease, cost Oregon wheat growers an estimated $10 mil lion. Losses were smaller, but still significant, in 1962 and 1963. The research was conducted by Donald George, research ag ronomist with the Crop Research Division, U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Re search Service. He is stationed at Pendleton. George designed his ex periment to compare relative effectiveness of three chemicals in controlling stripe rust on Omar wheat in the field. All three were known to be active in control of certain rust fungi under some conditions. The most promising treat ment was with a chemical known as N-3412 or dichoro tetraf luoroacetonc. Plots re ceiving four pounds per acre of this chemical yielded 50 p e r cent more grain than untreated check plots and had 70 p e r cent greater sheaf weight.

OF KLAMATH FALLS Serving Klomoth ond Loke Counties 135 South 9th Phone TU 4-6476 George also observed that plant height and number of heads per plot were also increased by the treatment, while test weight and germinating ability were unaffected. Results indicate that stripe rust in Omar wheat, a white club variety, can be effective ly controlled by a single appli cation of the experimental chemical under some field con ditions, he pointed out. However, t h e researcher stressed that results of analy sis for detection and measure ment of possible chemical resi dues in the grain are not yet available and it is too early to predict its approval for use on wheat grown for food or feed purposes. Stripe rust, which periodically has been a severe problem in Pacific Northwest wheat pro ducing areas, caused yield re ductions in this experiment pri marily through decrease in the number of heads per plant. Oth er workers have reported it also reduces the size and number of kernels, causes shrivelling of the grain, and results in se vere reduction in root growth of infected wheat plants. 4-H News THE LEATHERETTES There are ten members in the Kcno Leatherettes Club.

Washington will also provide an lolher part-time man at the stock- !yard. That state has had one full- time man and one part-time man Oregon has had five men on duty at the stockyard.

However, researchers have been puzzled by non-bacterial losses of nitrogen, where the soil is well aerated, and under optimum moisture conditions. According to Lcroy 11. YVull stein and Dr. C. M.

TtKse small smooth tubers lend themselves well to lye and steam peeling and are utilized in Idaho and other potato pro ducing areas for the production of "instant mashed" potato products. Development of a large na tional potato processing indus try has greatly sharpened competition for the fresh, mar ket. The market (or fiesh potatoes is requiring increasingly better packs including pack splitting and packaging of potatoes uni formly sized within a two ounce weight range las 8 tt and 18-!2 oz. As consumers increase use of processed potatoes, we can ex pect further declines in per cap ita consumption of potatoes in fresh form. Some predict that fresh sales may eventually be limited to sized packs for baking purposes. As an increasing percentage of field run production is culled, establishment of processing out lets capable of returning hotter than salvage price (or cull-nut becomes a more critical need. National processing capacity for production of dehydrated po tato granules and flakes tinstant mashed', is reported more than ample for current demand. Past efforts to interest established processors to locate here for flake or granule production have not been successful. From the view point of growers, gran ule and flake processing outlets have not proven much better than salvage outlets in areas where they are operating.

Qualification for diversion program eligibility requires regulation prohibiting shipment of any potatoes under 2 inches in diameter and a 6 oz. mini mum size for No. 2's of long varieties. It us expected that diversion to livestock feed and starch and flour will be approved for Idaho within to days. Idaho Market News reports have been quoting 49 to SO cent prices to growers (or No. 2 potatoes. Diversion to starch, flour or livestock feed tinder the pro gram earns growers 50 cents per cwt. for No, 2 or belter po tatoes which arc more than 2 inches in diameter, in addition to satvage value from these outlets. Idaho has joined the Oregon California Marketing Order area in requesting extension of the 50 cent rate to March 1, l!i4. It was suggested that Idaho's tardy decision to participate in the potato diversion program should have some strengthening effect on potato markets for the balance of the season. .tat"' , Tout a r..
