V ' Twenty - seven separate mailing lists of county residents are used by the county extension office to provide direct information to various com­ modity and activity groups in the county. These lists include partici­ pants in home economics and 4-H ac­ tivities as well as agricultural com­ modity lists of horticultural produc­ ers, livestock and dairy men, crops, forestry, and miscellaneous. Since the extension office is coop­ eratively financed by federal, state, and county funds, extension agents have recently given attention to fed­ eral requirements that cooperative names be on mailing lists only by re­ quest. County residents who have been receiving material from the ex­ tension office should return the re­ quest form recently sent them, indi­ cating the subjects about which they would like to receive material. Oth­ erwise it will be necessary to dis­ continue sending educational mater­ ials. Columbia county residents and home owners who have not been re­ ceiving materials from extension agents but would like to, need only notify the extension office, indicat­ ing the commodities about which they would like to receive informa­ tion. Cattlemen are in the best position ever to eliminate internal parasites this fall, thereby putting cattle in good condition to meet the problems of wintering. A few weeks ago government clear­ ance was extended on a material called thibenzole for oral treatment of gastrointestinal roundworms in cattle.

Families with children, who are unable to find work, can receive Aid to Dependent Children based on unemployment when they are not eligible for assistance based on in­ capacity. In either case, you would, of course, be expected to accept any work available to you within your physical capacity.

Scotch broom is a shrub which is of primary importance in western Washington, Oregon and California. It is reported to occupy over 100,000 acres in California alone. Estimates of the number of acres in Washing­ ton and Oregon have not been made, but would extend into the hundreds of thousands. Besides being a severe competitor in areas where forage and tree production are desired, the plant is sometimes a serious fire hazard. Research indicates that the stem miner attacks only Scotch broom. Natural populations of the insect have been found in the Tacoma, Washington area and in the San Francisco Bay area. It is thought by researchers that these natural popu­ lations were imported with the host plant. Research is continuing on other biological controls for Scotch broom. The researchers plan soon to intro­ duce a seed weevil. This seed weevil works only on the seeds of Scotch broom and does not bother other plants.
