THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1953 THE EAGLE, 4 AROUND THE FARM Several Columbia county straw, berry growers have used soil treatment to control strawberry root weevil. Since we have been getting a number of questions about this, it might be well to dis- ruas it here. Oregon State college is not yet recommending soil treatment but some canners are now accepting the fruit from treated soil and assisting growers in making ap plication. While the experiment station has found soil treatment wry effective in controlling wee vil, there are still some answers on flavor, carry over, etc., that they want to investigate before recommending treatment. ■Rie material used is 10 pounds of actual chlordane per acre. The material is usually applied to the soil as a spray after plowing and before the soil is worked down for planting. Soil treatment is being used only before planting a new field rather than on established fields because the chemical must be thoroughly mixed with the soil. For best results, the soil should be in ideal moisture condition for working to assist in thorough mixing of the chemical with the i 1 USED CARS 1951 | NASH RAMBLER A-l Condition S1595HI 1951 NASH 4-Door States man.

In seeding pastures at present seed prices it will pay to increase the seeding rate—even to double the usual amount. For example, if seeding ladino clover and alta fescue for pasture seeding 25 pounds of alta and 5 pounds of ladino will make it possible to get pasture earlier. Growers experiences in seeding at heavier rates indicates the extra feed produced the first season will more than pay back the ex tra seed cost particularly at to days seed prices. The heavier stands of grass helps combat weeds. That premature browning of camellia blossoms may not be caused entirely by frost or rain. Camellia flower blight, a disease, may be a large part of the trou ble. This disease lives over from year to year in the old camellia flowers that fall to the base of the plant. Control consists of removing all old camellia blossoms from both the bush and the ground. A 3 or 4 inch sawdust mulch around the camellia bushes will help in picking up all the old flower parts. Even so, if diseased flowers have been falling to the ground for several years it may be some time before the disease will be reduced. It would help to scrape up a two inch layer of soil around the plant before putting down your sawdust mulch. This would remove diseased flowers from previous years.
