NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL ALWAYS A SERIOUS PROBLEM— HE noxious weed problem is one which the fanner has with him always, and as in the case of everything else, when it affects the land owner and farmer, it is also of vital concern to his town cousin. While there are some noxious weeds in Malheur County at the present time, and in some places they have been especially damaging; there is time to stamp them out, or at least to keep the danger from spreading. Good work has been done by the county by spraying and other methods of control, but here is a problem which must be watched carefully. Should the dangerous wild morning glory, the Canadian thistle and other noxious weeds show signs of spreading badly, resources of the state and county must be thrown into the fight, and if necessary, federal aid should be invoked. The matter of noxious weeds is one like lock ing the bam after the horse is stolen—the time to take action is before they get beyond control. Naturally it takes less work and expense to stamp out a small patch of noxious weeds than it does to control them after they have spread. We trust those charged with responsibility will keep a close check on noxious weed conditions over the county and thus avert the heavy expense of trying to combat the pests after they have gained a strong foothold. Much of the responsibility in checking noxi ous weeds lays with the fanner, who must be continually on the alert to prevent the spread of noxious weeds. Preventive measures will go much further than attempts at eradication. ------------------- + ------------------- T GOOD NEWS FOR TROUT FISHERMEN— of Malheur county have a fine op P EOPLE portunity to create an ideal trout fishing stream near here, according to data collected re cently at the Owyhee dam. Anyone who has visited the dam, has seen the Owyhee river, and no doubt commented on the fact the stream looks like ideal trout water. Occasionally a trout is caught there, and in the early days we under stand some very nice catches were made. But as usually happens, the stream was over fished and the construction of the Owyhee dam also was not conducive toward natural propagation of trout. The water coming from the bottom of the dam is unusually cold, and the argument has been that trout would not spawn in such frigid water, which is probably the case. However in making temperature readings of the river, it was found that the water all the way from 180 to 300 feet deep in the dam, was at a temperature of 43 de grees. This is the temperature of the water as it comes from the dam. Approximately two miles below the dam at the old Derrick place the tem perature of the water in the river was 45 degrees. Two miles below this point, at the Gurwell ranch, the temperature was 47 degrees. Thus it was discovered that the temperature of the water raised approximately one degree for each mile it ran down the river. Fish experts say a temperature of 54 degrees is ideal spawing water, which would bring the spawning grounds 11 miles below the dam. Now local fishermen contend that if the state game commission would stock these waters with trout, and close the stream to fishing for two or three years, at the end of that time we would have a fine trout stream close by which would, in a large measure, keep up its supply by natural in crease. The idea has been presented to the game de partment, and it is hoped these gentlemen will see fit to send us enough young trout to stock this 11 miles of trout water below the dam. --------------------- + --------------------- COMMENTS BY CLARK WOOD Heretofore concerned as to the utility value of Little America, we have reached the conclusion that it would be an ideal place to which to deport our plotting radicals. — + — The Spanish bull is not in the arena now, but on the wire. “Opportunity knocks once for every man.” And others more than once if he should seize it. r E R !ENDS, IE Y A LINE BARGAINS, TU'M O S T EER T U 'M O N E Y IS t UEM "MIGHTY MIDGETS", TUE W ANT A D S * TUET REUT H O U SES V F A R M S, G E T FOLKS JOBS, F/ND THE H O ST, A N ' TORN "WHITE ELEPHANTS"JNrO CASU> A L E E E R A FEW N IC K E L S j— - Editor Journal: Allow me to hasten to the rescue of Phin Warren my friend, as the poor fish Is no farmer, and know not whereof he spoke. For his Infor mation I will say that for the most part, the farmers of our land are highly pleased with the results obtained by swapping Presidents in the middle of the stream Butterfat prices have trebled, eggs have doub led In price, wheat has doubled and most every commodity of the farm er has gone up in proportion. So as I see it, if the swap has caused the farmers in the old countries to pros pers as much as our farmers have here then he is indeed a greater man' than even I had thought he was. As far as throwing off their coats and going to, the farmers done that four years ago (and then some) did not even throw off their coats, as they were not able to own a coat. I think friend Phin has got that time Jumbled up with the present and does not know the difference. Opinion respectfully submitted. WALTER L. SCHAFER. jU M M We alto grind »took and poultry feeds.
