SHASTA DAM Su mm er t ou r scheduled announced The RotoWiper, a revolu- tionary rotary wiper herbi- cide applicator, is available for rent to local landown- ers and land managers to help control weeds in and around Tehama County. The Resource Conser- vation District of Tehama County has made this tool available to the public for the last five years and en- courages its use now and throughout the summer before undesirable pesky weeds carpet pasture and rangelands. Weeds take in moisture and trace elements from the soil that challenge the productivity of desirable plants, crops and pasture. Smutgrass, a problematic invasive grass through- out the Sacramento Valley, grows at a faster rate than desirable vegetation and due to its unpalatable na- ture can quickly dominate irrigated pasture. Investigating pastures for troublesome blades and using spot treatments to prevent their spread is a good way to decrease the use of expensive herbicides. In some cases, the scale of the job is beyond the scope of such application. The wiper is intended for large scale application and is suitable to tow behind OHVs, trucks and tractors. Its unique function in rotat- ing the opposite direction of travel allows direct applica- tion of herbicide to the most receptive part of the weed, the underside of the leaf blade. The wiper can be set at a height above desirable grasses so that it only wipes the weeds and doesn't hurt the pasture. By design, its carpeted roller and targeted appli- cation makes spray drift a problem of the past and kills weeds effectively as well as efficiently by requir- ing less herbicide. Josh Davy, livestock, range and natural resources advisor with the UC Coop- erative Extension in Red Bluff, encourages local do- it-yourselfers to take advan- tage of the district's equip- ment. "It's a very economical tool, especially consider- ing the cost of spraying a whole pasture and having to go through the reestab- lishment process," Davy said. "It's a great device with a reasonable rental fee to help control devastating smutgrass, a weed that can halt all pasture production, as well as other weeds com- mon to irrigated lands. It is advised to heavily graze a field before using the wiper so that weeds are taller than desirable grasses and clover." The RotoWiper is avail- able for rent on a daily ba- sis. For more information and rental availability, call the district at 527-3013 x 102.

TEHAMA COUNTY Public Health Advisory Boardto meet Thursday One of the most enjoy- able trips the people of Red Bluff have taken for a long time was that made last Tuesday afternoon to the Howell ranch near Hen- leyville, now owned by the Tehama Fruit Lands Co. This company is com- posed of G. W. Fisher, Se- attle Wash., C. J. Heifner, San Francisco, A. R. Udall, San Francisco and Roy and J. R. McDonald who are the active managers and reside on the ranch. The How- ell ranch is comprised of 6,000 acres and is well wa- tered. Mr. W. B. Ames, an expert citrus fruit grower from San Dimas, Califor- nia, has active charge of the plantings. The land is now being prepared to set out 200 acres of Naval or- ange trees and when the ir- rigation system is finished 2,000 acres will be set to oranges, pomelos and lem- ons, besides a large acreage will be devoted to almonds, prunes and olives. This is by far the larg- est enterprise of the kind ever undertaken in Tehama county and many Red Bluff people showed their appre- ciation of the efforts being made by the owners of this enterprise by personally visiting them and extend- ing a welcome to Tehama county. — May 31, 1916 100 YEARS AGO... Visitors found great project underway at Howell ranch SACRAMENTO The Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announce the availabil- ity of some $2.1 million in grants for projects that im- prove conditions for feder- ally-imperiled species and their habitats impacted by the federal Central Valley Project. The project, owned and operated by Reclamation, is one of the world's largest water storage and convey- ance systems. The grants are funded by the Fiscal Year 2017 Central Valley Project Conservation Program and Central Val- ley Project Improvement Act Habitat Restoration Program. The CVPCP and CVPIA HRP have estab- lished 16 specific Priority Actions related to CVP-im- pacted species, their hab- itats and corresponding geographic areas. Each of the Priority Ac- tions is supported by a threatened or endangered species recovery plan that provides strategies and guidance on how the spe- cies could be restored to a healthy and viable status. Applicants are requested to submit proposals that support these Priority Ac- tions. The 2017 grants con- tinue 22 years of funding projects. This year, four categories of projects are being solicited for fund- ing: land protection (fee ti- tle and conservation ease- ment); habitat restoration; research; and species cap- tive propagation and rein- troduction. State or local govern- ment agencies, private or- ganizations, individuals and educational institu- tions are eligible to apply for grants. Applications for grants will close on Fri- day, Sept. 30, 2016. Federal agencies wanting to ap- ply are encouraged to con- tact the program manag- ers named in the announce- ment to discuss potential projects and the proposal submission process. Instructions for submit- ting a proposal and back- ground information on the programs is available at www.grants.gov. Appli- cants may search for the Funding Opportunity An- nouncement by Funding Opportunity Number BOR- MP-16-0004. Additional information about the CVPCP and HRP may be found at http:// www.usbr.gov/mp/cvpcp/. For questions, call Daniel Strait at 916 978-5052 or write to dstrait@usbr.gov.
