Round-up of the horses was ord ered by Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes to preserve the range for cattle and sheep and provide meat for certain types of food pro ducts. Malheur residents, however, contend the round-up would add nothing to the war effort, as the range is unsulted to grazing of ot her livestock. Cowboys have tried on many occ asions to capture some of the wild horses. Some have been successful and some have not, but success in rounding up the mustangs has been rarely achieved.

DUSTING OF PEAS HELD ESSENTIAL With Victory Garden peas coming into bloom it Is time for all gard eners to begin thinking of pea wee vil control, says E. N. Hoffman, assistant county agent. Pea weevils have been on the in crease in recent years and have ca used considerable loss to gardeners. Effective control can be obtained with rotenone, a meaterial which is applied as a dust. Dusting should be started soon after the first bl ooms appear but in any case before pods are formed. Eggs are laid on the pods and once the eggs have been laid no amount of dusting will prevent weevil Infected peas. This makes it Imperative that adult weevils are destroyed early, Hoff man pointed out. Additional dust lngs should follow every week or ten days or following rains that would wash the dust from the peas. Weevlle travel great distances and new Infections are always possible. Rotenone loses its killing power qu ite rapidly upon exposure to light and air. Gardeners are cautioned to thoroughly cover the pea vines Tdth the dust for effective results. The cost is economical. Rotenone supplies are very limit ed and every effort should be made to prevent waste, Hoffman added.
