Your County Agent Says PROGRESS OF POTATO A ONION PLANTINGS Onion plantings are about wound up In the county with a few growers In the Vale, Oregon Slope and Weiser areas still planting. Those planted ear lier in the Adrian. Nyssa area are coming up and are looking good, how ever, some fields are'in need of alight irrigation to keep them coming along. Potato planting is in full swing and again the southern part of the county is ahead of the rest of the county. SoU moisture for planting in most fields is very good and should get the spud off to a good start. Soil tem peratures at 4 incites are still running a little behind the area averages. At present the Adrian, Nyssa area is ave raging around 52 degrees and the Ore gon Slope-Ontano area 50 degrees. Normally these temperatures have ave raged several degrees higher than this for good germination they should be 48-50 degrees. So the whole area looks like it is in good shape for planting .

INSECT PEST CONTROL As the weather warms up to the 60’s in Treasure Valley we can expect the an nual onslaught by insects on crops and ornamentals grown in this area. In sects are cold blooded animals and the most of them can’t function well under cool temperature conditions. However, with the onset of warmer weather da maging numbers will build up rapidly. Crops, gardens and ornamentals should be examined periodically to note any concentration of the pests. One of the first of the Insects to watch for are members of the aphis family. These are tlie small green colored pests that suck sap out of plants. They are usually found on the terminal branches where there is a concentration of new plant growth. Snowball bushes are an early target for the aphids. Insecti cide should be applied to these plants early as aphid damage causes the plants leaves to curl up around the pests to the ¡xiint that it is difficult to get con trol. Some insecticides - especially some phosphate formulated ones such as Mala* thion--don*t work very well when tem peratures are below 70 degrees. The label on the container will give you this information, plus safety requirement to observe in handling the pesticide.

A good prin< ipal to keep in mind in weed control, wliether on ditch banks, In grain, or any place, is to control when they are small for best control, espe cially when controlling annual weeds, such as lambsquarter, mustard, or pigweed. Especially in spring grain, timing is es sential to hit the weeds when they are the right size and when the grain is in the right stage of growth. Spraying in spring grain for weed control should be done after the grain has stooled out and before it is In the boot. Amine 2, 4D at 1« active per acre controls most of the bothersome broad leaved weeds. Spray ing after the grain is in the boot re duces yield. For perrenial weeds such as Canadian Thistle, morning glory, or Russian Knapweed best results are ob tained by spraying when the weed is at the bud stage. Very seldom lias one application completely killed these weeds. Repeated applications are needed. $31“ $21 “I ♦ ♦ errenty 5-Year Warranty BATTERIES $25" $16 arranty NEW PUMPKIN VARIETY RELEASED Lady Godiva has taken on a new role.
