AROUND THE FARM
, Another new weed killer ap­
parently is going to be added to
the growing list of herbicides.
With a common name of Banvel
D replacing the unwieldly chemi­
cal name of 2-methoxy-3, 6-di-
chlorobenzoic acid, this material
gives promise of being effective in
control of sorrell. Generally, sorrel
is quite resistant to most other
herbicides in common use.
Banvel D is a relatively safe
compound as far as toxicity to
humans and animals is concerned.
However, at the present time it
has no status under the Miller
bill since the product carries only
an experimental label.
One of the prospective uses for
Banvel D may be in the use of
kill in weeds in grass fields such
as the Astoria bentgrass fields at
Clatskanie. It would also seen
a likely candidate for packaging
for use on lawns by home-owners
since it not only kills sorrel but
chickweed .Clovers are also sus­
ceptible to its killing action.
There is much to be learned
about the i«6e of this new material,
but field plots at Clatskanie cer­
tainly look good. One series of
plots on the Paul Newman farm
and two on Jess Lewis’ property,
Clatskanie, are serving to provide
a comparison of two forms of
2,4-D, silvex, and Banvel D at
varying rates.
No injury to grass from the use
of Banvel D has been observed
to date.
A group of foresters and wood­
land owners from the neighboring
state of Washington recently spsnt
part of a day in Columbia county
observing some of the forestry
practices being carried on here.
The ten visitors, accompanied
by state forester Ken Palen, were
particularly interested in the use
of herbicides to control competing
vegetation in forest seedlings on
the Skeans’ Just-A-Mere Farm at
Fern Hill. Trial plots on 2-0 Doug­
las fir pointed up the effectiveness
of materials such as simazine, at-
razine, diuron, and propazine.
None of these materials caused
injury to the newly-planted firs
at low rates. All were effective in
controlling weeds and grasses, but
atrazine gave superior results.
Banded applications of atrazine
applied directly over Douglas fir
seedlings planted this spring is
generally giving good effective
control of annual grasses and
weeds. Control of perennial grass­
es is not so spectacular.
Costs of banded applications of
herbicides are generally quite low
due to relatively small areas co­
vered.
Visiting foresters were also in­
terested in the exceptional growth
made by a stand of 5 year old
Douglas fir planted by E. Loyd,
Deer Island. Some of these trees
are 15 feet high and produced
cones last year after being set out
as 2-0 planting stock 4 years ear­
lier.

IN OREGON, the Oregon-California Stage Line opened the
run between Portland and Sacramento. After arriving in Port­
land, Oregon's rugged pioneer travelers often relaxed with a
sparkling, refreshing glass of beer.
For even then, beer was Oregon's traditional
beverage of moderation. Beer still provides en­
joyment for folks in Oregon and a good living
for the employees and suppliers of the Brewing
Industry.
TODAY, in its centennial year, the United States
Brewers Association still works constantly to
assure maintenance of high standards of quality
and propriety wherever beer and ale are served.

mills have been experimenting
with disposition of their wastes
primarily to avoid pollution.
Large quantities of such wastes
apparently can be effectively bro­
ken down in the soil. By-products
of such waste decomposition have
stimulatory effects on forage ma­
terial mainly because of the sul­
fur and in some cases nitrogen.
In a similar manner it has been
found that large quantities of
liquid whey from cheese plants
can be safely dumped on agricul­
tural land with a stimulatory ef­
fect on forage production.
Neither of these by-products can
be economically used as a substi­
tute for commercial fertilizer.
However, in areas where the dis­
posal of these products is a lia­
bility to the manufacturing plants,
use of them in this manner is cer­
tainly worth further investigation,
both as a means of preventing
stream pollution and as a means
of avoiding waste of a usable re­
source.
Two forestry growth-study con­
trol plots in the 23-year old stand
of timber on /the county fair­
grounds have been established
under the sponsorship of the Co­
lumbia county farm forestry com­
mittee. These two plots will pro­
vide a comparison between a con­
trol or untreated plot and a plot
treated to demonstrate the re­
sults of management practices.
Committee members, working
under the chairmanship of Elmer
Loyd, Deer Island, recently made
a second thinning in the treated
tract consisting of one-tenth acre.
The first thinning was made in
1956 when these two plots were
first established. During this six-
year interval, trees in the thinned
plot have grown a total of 2 to
2M inches in diameter and a lit­
tle more than three feet in height
annually, although there is some
variation
between
individual
trees.
Many folks who have taken
part in the annual school forestry
tours will recognize the thinned
plot as the one usually referred
to as the ‘pre-commercial thin­
ning plot.’
Specimen trees in the plots
have been measured, tagged, and
individually painted with bands
at the heights at which diameter
measurements are taken. Most
trees in the thinned plot average
more than 6 inches dbh (diameter
breast high) with the height
ranging from 55 to 60 feet. After
two thinnings there still remain
about 550 trees per acre in this
plot. There were 1180 trees per
acre before thinning.
In the control, or unthinned
plot, there now remain 1070 trees
per acre. A number of the smaller,
supressed trees have died over
the years. The dbh of the trees
in this plot range from 2 to 7
inches with the largest number
falling in the 4-inch class. The
smaller trees in the plot have not
shown a measurable growth dur­
ing the last six years. Trees of
this size will probably die in the
next few years.
Although we can only plan for
the future, it is intended that fig­
ures from these two plots be con­
tinued for many years So come.
The figures obtained from the
study should contribute greatly
to our knowledge of timber man­
agement under our own local con­
ditions.
Mustard, shepard’s purse, and
many other weeds commonly ap­
pear to take over in new seedings
of forage crops. Sometimes the
stands are so heavy that growers
are frequently lead into believing
that the seed they used for plant­
ing was contaminated with the
weed seed.
If the seed used was purchased
through licensed dealers, or if
the seed carries Oregon labels for
purity or germination, it is un­
likely that the weed seed was a
contaminant of the forage seeds.
It is more likely that the weeds
came from ancestors that were al­
lowed to grow and develop seed
in prior years.
Work a t a number of experi­
ment stations, particularly Michi­
gan State, has shown that some
weed seeds can live for a great
many years. At Michigan State,
trials started over 75 years ago

reveals that seeds of some species
are still alive and capable of
growing.
We have observed that many
old timers who did much of their
farming without the benefit of
present day herbicides, are more
diligent in their efforts to prevent
weeds from going to seed. In this
way they hoped to prevent conta­
mination of the soil and future
problems.
Beginning July 1, the USDA
plans to introduce a dual grading
system for beef. The new grades
will be in addition to the present
grades with indicated tenderness,
juiciness and flavor. The new
grades will relate to the cutabili-
ty or yield of saleable meat.
Beef carcasses differ in their
yield of retail cuts. Within the
USDA choice grade, yield of re­
tail cuts ranges from 40 to 55 per
cent of the carcass weight .This
measure was taken from boneless,
closely trimmed retail cuts from
the round, loin, rib and chuck.
Factors responsible for differ­
ences are thickness of fat over the
rib eye, size of rib eye, quantity
of kidney, pelvic and heart fat,
and carcass weight.
Consumers probably won’t see
the new grade stamp on beef. It
willl refer only to the proportion
of lean versus fat. Grades will be
one to six with Yield Grade 1
having the greatest lean. The pre­
sent grades on quality will be
continued, but the new yield
grade will be stamped on each
quarter of the carcass. The new
grades will be in red ink instead
of the purple used for quality
grades.
