Thursday, October 18, 1973 Salem Scene by Jack 7immermvn Senate and House have an nounced membership for eight Joint interim committees ex pected to extend the work of most standing committees that were operative during the ses sion. All but two of the 90 men and women who served dur ing the regular session have been named to at least one of these committees-.and se veral serve on two or more. Those in the 30-memtrr Se nate have particularly deman ding committee assignments. Senate Pres Jason Boe (D- Reedsport) and House Speaker Richard Eymann (D-Springfield) have said the eight committees will be especially busy between now and January readying legis lation that might be introduced in the special session scheduled early next year And the next couple of weeks likely will be quite demanding for members of the eight com mittees because each panel is expected topreparea budget and outline of projected activities to submit to the Emergency Board before work can begin The E- Board meets next on Sept 13- 14—to there’s precious little time toenjoy the waning summer, If all this committee work and the special session weren't enough, lawmakers also have additional interim assignments to which they can look forward. Both houses are bound to name additional special committees. A certain number of Legislators will be tapped for work with va rious agencies and oran<- tations of both state and federal government And the number of special House and Senate Task Forces seems to be expanding each biennium. Four measures passed dur ing the regular sessicn will appear on next May's primary election ballot anda dozen more wdll face voters during the No vember '74 general election. Proponents and opponents both will be involved in varying amounts of politicking for and against certain of these issues. Possible initiative campaigns and popular referendums also will be time consumers.

Most Oregon Legislators have "fulltime jobs” or bu sinesses of their own that de mand a certain amount of atten tion. And at least some of those who were technically unem ployed during the session are seeking gainful employment of some kind as an economic ne cessity.

Preconditioning is best done prior to weaning to avoid the double shock of the treatment and weaning at the same time. Most operators who precondi tion their calves vaccinate them for red nose, shipping fever and revaccinate for blackleg and malignant edema. Some spray tor louse and warble control.

LAWN DAMAGE Many Malheur County lawns reached their darkest hour this summer as bill bug larvae che wed their way to maturity. The little monsters responsible for the damage are small white grubs about a quarter of an inch long when full grown. Damage to lawns occurs from the grubs feeding on grass stems near the ground line. Heavily infested lawns turn brown and the damaged turf can be lifted al most as if it had been shorn at ground level. The adult--the culprit that lays the eggs that hatch into the grubs--is a small blackorgray Pag« S«v«n colored snout beetle a little over a quarter of an inch long. These insects could be seen mi grating out of heavily infested lawns during warm weather the first couple of weeks of Sept- ber. Next year in May the pests will start their egg laying in lawns again. You may want to "head them off at the pass" by applying some Diazinon to your lawn in June. These pests should not be confused with the so called "lawn moths". Some of the small triangular shaped moths found swarming around lawns are parents of the sod web worm that do occasional damage in this Outstanding performers for the TVCC Chukars on the gridiron area.

Ron Moffis, 44, has been the Chukars leading ground gainer and readily distinguishable from the small grub-like bill bug larvae. WINTER GRAIN Research at the Malheur Ex periment Station has proved that planting winter grain prior to October 30 is advisable using 70 - 90 pounds per acre and drilling into pre-irriagedsoils. Significant reduction in yields were noted on grains planted after that date. 100 to 130 pounds of nitrogen in soils where no nitrogen residue was present proved most beneficial Gains wheat has been the con sistant high yields amoung va riety trials.
