The U. S. Navy has a very attrac
tive program open for student nurses
enrolled in colleges and universities
accredited by the National League
for Nursing wherein girls who have
completed the first semester of their
sophomore year are eligible to make
application for the Navy Nurse Corps
Candidate program.
Student nurses selected under this
program are enlisted in the U. S. Na
vy as Officer Candidate Hospitalmen
and are placed on active duty with
pay during their final two years at
school. Tuition and fees, medical and
dental care, 30 days paid vacation a
year plus pay and allowances of ap
proximately $228 are paid during the
final two school terms. Six months
prior to graduation, candidates are
given a commission as Ensign in the
U. S. Navy Nurse Corps with cor
responding increases in pay to ap
proximately $355 per month.
In return, student nurses must
agree to serve on active duty for up
to three years as commissioned offi
cers in the Navy Nurse Corps. Upon
graduation from nursing school, can
didates attend an eight week indoc
trination course at Newport, Rhode
Island and then are transferred to
their duty station. Every effort is
made to locate them in the locality
they request. Freshman, sophomore
and junior girls can check their eligi
bility for this program by contacting
the local Navy recruiter, Chief Card
at Portland or writing to the Office
of Naval Officer Procurement, 520
S.W. Morrison St., Portland, Oregon.

With Canada thistle down blowing
in most parts of the county, a con-
stant stream of questions are being
asked with the general thought be-
ing, “Why isn’t something being
done to control Canada thistle?”
These inquiries come by letter, by
phone, and by callers to the exten
sion office.
These questions reveal a general
knowledge that the state has a weed
control law and the fact that some
areas, such as Washington county,
have a compulsory Canada thistle
control law, but a lack of under
standing cf the details of the weed
control programs being conducted.
Oregon law provides for the con
trol of noxious weeds when so desi
gnated. The entire county may be
designated as a weed control dis
trict as Columbia county is for tan
sy ragwort. If certain weeds are not
named as noxious and falling under
the provisions of a county control dis
trict, interested parties may petition
for a special weed control district.
The petition for a special control
district would include the boundaries
and the specific weeds to be con
trolled by preventing from producing
seed. The petition must carry the
signatures of not less than seven
farm owners constituting a majority
of farm owners in the described area.
If this is done, the law provides that
the county court declare the area a
weed control district for the weeds
indicated.
After a weed control district is
created, Oregon law provides the
weed inspector with right of entry to
the land within the district. If land-
owners do not voluntarily comply
with the provisions of the weed con
trol law, the inspector posts the
property. If the weeds are not con
trolled within the specified time in
dicated, the matter is turned over
to the district attorney and the coun
ty court. Upon authorization from
the court the weed inspector can then
go upon the land, employing assis
tants to destroy the weed involved.
Upon completion oi the weed remov
al, the costs of such work are filed
with the county clerk who enters
them on a lien docket as a first lien
upon the land except for taxes.
Generally the cooperation of land-
owners in the county has been good
as far as tansy ragwort is concern
ed, although there are isolated in
stances in which problems have
arisen.
Many large land owners, rather
than do the job of spraying and oth
erwise removing tansy ragwort, have
requested that County Weed Inspec
tor Henry Thompson hire crews to
go in and do the job for them.
Now that tansy ragwort is well
along in bloom, the only real solution
to control is to pull the plants, cut
the heads and burn them. If plants
are only pulled, there is enough vi
tality in the plants to complete the
maturing of the seed. Even if sprays
that will kill mature plants are used,
there will still be mature seed left
to contaminate the area. This was
well demonstrated several years ago
when one operator sprayed mature
tansy ragwort with chlorate. The
plants were killed readily, but after
drying, seeds were pulled at random
from the standing plants.
Upon
checking with the Oregon State Uni
versity seed laboratory, it was found
that the seed had a germination of
61 percent — enough to keep the
tansy ragwort growing there for
some time to come.
The similarity between names of
common ragweed and tansy ragwort
is unfortunate in that it leads to
much confusion. Most folks who are
native of the area do not know com
mon ragweed since relatively little
grows in Oregon, partially due to
the diligence exercised by the state
in controlling it through the efforts
of the state department of agricul
ture.
Common ragweed causes no real

problem to farmers. At least no more
so than the many other species that
offer competition to some crops. It
is the bane of hay fever sufferers
who are bothered by the heavy
amounts of pollen produced by it. For
this reason the state takes control
measures without cost to the land-
owner.
Tansy ragwort control is important
for two reasons. First, it is poison
ous to livestock, particularly cattle
and horses. Although the plant is
not readily eaten as long as there
are adequate amounts of forage, once
they are forced to it, or an individual
starts for some reason, the effect is
much like a narcotic in that they de
velop a liking and start to seek it
out. Also, the poisonous properties
are cumulative so that resulting tox
icity builds up over a period of time.
The second and probably nearly
as important a reason for control
ling tansy ragwort is the ability ot
the plant to compete with nearly
every other species except those that
shade it. If shade is heavy enough,
as in the case of a good stand of
trees, the tansy will die.
While good pastures can provide
sufficient competition to kill Cana
da thistle, this is not the case with
tansy ragwort. These plants can in
vade and smother the most vigorous
pasture, but they will not grow in
cultivated land as will Canada this
tle.
What will happen to Columbia
county as a weed control district for
tansy ragwort depends pretty much
upon the wishes of the people of the
county. In a short two or three
months period one man cannot possi
bly search out and cause the elimina
tion of all patches of tansy ragwort.
The cooperation of the people of the
county in reporting the weed when
it is noticed. Like most laws, enforce
ment hinges to a considerable de
gree upon the interest and wishes of
the people in general.
Employment in
August Higher
As August ended, the rate of in
sured unemployment at 2.1 percent
was the lowest for the comparable
week since 1959 when the rate was
2.0 percent, David H. Cameron, com
missioner, Oregon Department of
Emploment reported here.
Only 9,1000 weeks of unemployment
insurance benefits were claimed for
the week ending August 27 compared
to 11,229 weeks a month earlier and
9,855 weeks a year earlier.
Late summer vegetables led by
beans and sweet corn are providing
the principal impetus to employ
ment’s present high level with pack
ers in the Willamette Valley and
Eastern Oregon operating with full
shifts to process these crops, the
commissioner said. He added that
high activity in construction and
lumber is expected to continue as
long as the weather permits. Ample
job opportunities are expected to be
prevalent through October, since
schools' starting will shrink the la
bor force considerably.
Rate of insured unemploment in
Oregonf or the comparable week in
August of 1963 was 2.4 percent; in
1962, 2.6 percent, and in 1961 was
3.0 pereent. For the week ending
August 8, insured unemployment’s
rate in the United States was 3.1 per
cent; in Oregon 2.4 percent.

QUESTION: When will the Youth
Opportunities offices be in operation
in Oregon.
ANSWER: At the present time,
plans are being made to establish a
youth opportunities office in the Port
land area and at present this is the
only office scheduled for the State
of Oregon. It is felt that the need for
a youth office in the Portland area
is the most critical at this time.
Youth oouselors, some of whom are
now taking training at the University
of Oregon will be part of the staff
in this Portland office and attempt
to find suitable employment for un
employed youth or recommend suit
able training for those needing it. In
the meantime, youth services are
handled by the youth services divis
ion in the Department of Employ
ment office at 1407 S.W. 4th Avenue,
in Portland ,and by youth repre
sentatives in each of the other 25
areas served by the Department of
Employment.
