Farm Reminders and Orchard Pest Tips From Oregon Station
The experiment station advises against sowing lime la vings in succession unless lime amounts are excessive due to soil variability. Lime can raise yields in subsequent years, while first year effects may be limited. Willamette Valley growers should apply late moth cover spray by August 8 and use five pounds arsenate of lead per 200 gallons for worm control. Outstanding potato plants should be staked and saved for next year's seed plot.
