F 4 THURSDAY, APRIL 23. 1953 THE EAGLE. VERNONIA. ORE. AROUND THE FARM Spittle bug eggs are hatching Adolph Anicker and Leonard Longen, Deer Island, found the first bugs in their strawberry fields two weeks ago. The Oregon state college ex periment station also reports that eggs have been hatching for some tune and control measures will need to be applied soon. Growers will want to start Checking their fields soon for presence of the insect. In the early stages the spittle bug stays down in the strawberry plant crown. It is yellow and will have a small amount of liquid or the characteristic spittle around 4. If more than one spittle bug per plant can be found, damage < an be expected. During the past few years the spittle bug has been increasing in some areas of Columbia county where formerly growers did not find it necessary to dust strawberry fields. If you have not been dusting for spittle bug it will be wise to check the field carefully. During the past few years a number of power dusters have been purchased by growers to dust fields for spittle bug con trol. Growers with smaller acreages are in some cases using hand dusters with satisfactory results. The use of 50 founds of a 5% methoxychlor per acre preferably with a hooded power duster is recommended for control of this pest. this weed. Robinson also reports that it is now time to get ready for spray ing tansy ragwort with 24-D. Be sure you have sufficient 24-D on hand and know the right proportions for mixing it. Check your spray rig for operation. Many of the small hand operated sprayers may need a new pump leather or gasket. Spend some time going over your farm spotting the tansy rag wort areas. Tansy ragwort plants are begin ning to grow rapidly now and spraying can begin anytime. Try to-get all your tansy rag wort sprayed before other work becomes pressing.

It is difficult to imagine more convincing proof of Chevrolet’s superiority, for such clear-cut and overwhelming preference can lead to but one conclusion; Chevrolet trucks must be better, must enjoy solid advantages over other trucks. Such preference must rest on a firm foun dation of good, sound value. And. of course, it does—as owners of Chevrolet trucks can testify.
