pods in early Spring. The chalcis-
flies thus have already completed the
development of an entire generation
in the seeds of these plants before
the alfalfa seed pods have developed
in the fields. Under such conditions
it would be well to destroy the bur
clover pods by burning the fence lines
in the Spring. This can frequently
be done after the plants mature and
before the alfalfa seed crop comes on
Cleaning the Seeds.
Some of the alfalfa seed-growing
districts have organizations among
the seed growers with officers having
complete charge of cleaning and
marketing the seeds for the growers.
The product handled through these
organizations is, for the most part,
we'll cleaned, so that nearly all of the
infested seeds are removed before
marketing. When done on a large
scale the cost of cleaning the seed is
about 40 cents per 100 pounds. In

" HE waste produced In the pro-
cess of canning salmon Is vari-
. ously estimated to be from Is to
SO per cent Of the original weight of
the fish and over $2,000,000 is the
value of this waste annually on the
Pacific Coast, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
a newly published bulletin (No. 150)
the Departments Bureau Of Soils
suggests that canneries might advan-
tageously dispose of their waste by
manufacturing it into fertilizer or
fish meal for poultry or cattle feed
ing purposes. With a strictly by
products plant, overhead charges
would disappear and good profit
should be realized on the sale of this
by-product; also the sanitary con-
dition of the cannery would be i'm
proved.
Disposal of Waste.
Salmon cannery waste is being dis
posed of at present by the large
unit plant" which at first glance ap-
years more desirable than the small
unit plant" However, the failures
in the operation of centrally located
rendering "large-unit plants" have
been far more conspicuous than the
successes. There are many reasons
to believe that the "small-unt plant"
of little capacity, if run as an inte-
gral part of the cannery, might prove,
financially, more satisfactory. The
'large-unit plant" must haul the raw
material which the small-unit would
have on hand and the former also
lacks demonstrated machinery to
make the rendering process econom-
ical. There is the additional draw
back, that the season when the plant
may be operated must be short.
Finally there has been general
failure to meet the demands of the
problem in this manner. OF course If
the seaweed "kelp" were treated in
connection with the fish scrap in a
large-unit plant the results might be
more satisfactory. This feature will
be considered in detail in subse-
Quent article.
Loss of Apparatus.
The by-products plant which is just
sufficient to treat the output of the
cannery's waste seems the only al
tentative to the central-rendering sta
ton. For equipment the oldfash-
ioned, unimproved retort cooker and
hydraulic press are adequate. This
is because they are the-only apparatus
which has been applied successfully
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-02-11

falfa seeds, this process removes the
weed seeds, and the product will then
command the highest market prices.
Where it is necessary to do the clean
ing on the farm, good results may
be secured by using the proper sieves
in a small tanning mill.
Need of Organized Efforts.
The habits of this insect, together
with the general practices of alfalfa
seed growers, makes it necessary for
the growers of each district to CO.
operate in an effort to control this
destructive seed pest. While it is i'm
portant that each farmer do all in his
power to reduce the abundance of
this insect on his own farm, the ef-
forts of an individual are greatly
hampered by the negligent habits Of
a neighbor. The rapid distribution
from breeding centers of the chalcis-
flies and the short minimum period
required for the development of the
adults render organized action neces-
sary.

Chalcis -Fly.-Alfalfa Seed Pest

they remain until the following
Spring when the alternating insects
emerge. A thorough cultivation with
an alfalfa cultivator, at some time
late In the Fall or in early Winter,
will sufficiently cover such pods and
will prevent the emergence of most
of the adults when the warm Spring
weather arrives.
Destroying Screenings.
After the alfalfa is threshed the
great mass of screenings which Is left
frequently contains large numbers of
seeds infested with h berna in &
larvae. If the chaff, together with
the screenings, is placed in compost
pile for three or four months, so that
1t will become heated and decay, most
of the insect life will be destroyed.
Unless it is possible to treat the
screenings in this manner they should
be burned before the growing season
opens in the Spring.
Many of the alfalfa seed pods along
check ridges and fence lines may be
destroyed by burning off the weeds
and alfalfa. This should be done
either in the Fall or early Spring.
Planting Clean Seeds.
In purchasing alfalfa seed, farm
ers should insist upon having seed
which has been we'll cleaned after
threshing and should never plant the
uncleaned product in new fields. In
many localities much Of the seed is
sold both by farmers and by local
dealers without first having beer
cleaned. The product of such seed
when harvested from the late crops
frequently contains a 10 to Is pei
cent infestation of alternating chal
cis-fly larvae. The planting of this
uncleaned seed frequently gives tht
chalcis-fly a start in the new field
as we'll as resulting in poor stand
Cutting the Seed Crop.
1t is not an uncommon practice fol
the farmer to allow the seed crop tt
remain on the fields an excessive per
iod in order that more Of the greer
pods may develop. In such fields OF
the same plant are found ripe pod
, bursting open, as well as fully de
veloped, half-grown and newly form
ing pods.
Observations show that many 0
, the chalcis-flies infesting the earle
or first pods have had sufficient tim
to complete their life development
emerge from the seeds, and deposi
their eggs into the green pods grow
ing on the same plant upon whicl
they themselves were fostered
,, In view Of this the seed crop shoul
be so handled that the setting o
pods will be as uniform as possible
!, and the crop should then be harveste
as soon as the larger number of th
:, pods are ripe.
. Stacking Seed Crop.
t 1t has been demonstrated that grea
= numbers of chalcis-flies emerge fror
: the seed pods at about the time tn
pods ripen and continue to emerg
t indefinitely. In midsummer mos
:. of them, however, emerge With
D three or four weeks after the crop
e harvested. Where later seed crop
e are grown, it Is therefore advisabl
= to stack the early crops as soon a
Y possible, thus preventing the fre

crop in shocks on the field.

According to the above estimate
SCALA are put down as profit. More
strictly this should be regarded as
the working margin of income over
expenses. As the conditions imposed
are more severe than those probably
to be encountered, it is believed that
this estimate is conservative.
This belief is strengthened by the
fact that the estimates on the same
general basis, prepared by an expert
enced manufacturer OF fish scrap
from this class of material, is SO per
cent lower than the above as con-
Germs the running expenses and 20
per cent lower with respect to equip
ment. Thus, larger capacity Is pre-
scribed than probably would be nec-
essary, and much shorter working
day than would be required in actual
practice.
Labor Problem.
In operating the supposed by-prod-
ucts plant, the labor problem Is re-
garded by those packers who operate
in Alaska as serious matter. This
may be the case in Western Alaska,
where 1t may be necessary to employ
the force for the by-products plant
before leaving the states and to carry
them on the pay roll until they re-
turn in the FALL. but in the other
parts of Alaska 1t is difficult to see
how the problem of securing three or
four additional laborers could be
serious.
While 1t is probable that in the
busiest part of the season every men,
ber Of the cannery force Is employed,
at other times there should be a suf-
ficient number of men temporarily
idle to do all the work required in
the by-products plant. An additional
force, II necessary, could be secured
for the rush season.
Advantages Of System.

possessed by this system of dispos-
ing of cannery waste. The first and
most striking is that of the elimina-
tion Of all costs of collecting. With

An Interesting Experiment.

The business of receivership
is becoming most complex. In
the case of the Bankers Trust
Company, Committee of Cred
itors was named to take charge
of the assets of Mr.. Franklin to
forestall bankruptcy proceed
ings. Because these creditors
sold a certain piece of property
in connection with their work,
another plaintiff now asks the
Court to declare Franklin insolv-
ent, and to appoint a receiver.
AS legal question, the Bankers
Trust Company litigation offers
an opportunity for much study.
Plaintiff asks for a receiver, and
the assets of the subject for the
receivership are in the hands of
a Creditors Committee. How
soon may we expect a petition,
in some suit or another, asking
for the appointment of q reoeiv:
er for the receiver?-St. Louis

Sights are necessary because a bull
let does not travel in a straight line
but, under the influence of gravity and
friction, begin to drop almost as soon
as 1t leaves the muZzle. Thus the
bullet of our service rife Uee En-
field drops six inches In the first

yards it will have dropped not lo
inches, but two feet. The drop in
creases by leaps and bounds with
the distance. Were there no sights
on the rifle and you wanted to hit a
mark at 200 yards, you would clearly
have to aim two feet above it.
This would be awkward, for you
would lose sight Of the object aimed
at to say nothing of the difficulty of
correctly estimating a distance of
two feet at 200 yards.
The sights Of rife enable you to
keep your eye on the mark. although

Dogs and Farm Sheep.

The Agricultural Department
reports that more than 100000
sheep are killed every year by
dogs in the 36 farm states, which
do not include any in the west
ern division, and that the fooks
could easily be doubled were it
not for this constant menace.
A remedy is suggested for
this situation in a uniform State
dog law embodying the principle
of tax upon dogs sufficiently
heavy to discourage those who
are not willing to take care of
their pets from keeping them.
Under this plan all dogs over 6
month of age must be licensed
each year, the tax paid at the
time of licensing and {. metal
tag bearing the license number
attached to the dogs collar. Any
dog without this tag unattended
and off it's owners premises may
be killed. When found unattend-
ed on a farm where sheep are
kept the dog may be killed
whether it has tag or not, and
under any circumstances a dog
caught chasing or killing sheep
may be killed. All dogs which
can be proved to be sheep kill
ers must be killed whether
caught in the act or not, and a
reward of SIS should be offered
for anyone identifying a sheep
killing dog. The money receiv-
ed from dog taxes should be
devoted to reimbursing sheep
owners for their lost stock, and
the county should recover this
money whenever possible from
the dogs owners.

When the people of Missouri
are called upon to amend the
constitution and validate the
farm credits bill passed by the
legislature at it's recent session
they will have to pass upon a
purely socialistic proposition,
for the measure is nothing less
than proposal to the people to
go into the banking business and
operate it as a state function.
True, the purpose of the mea
sure is not general in applIca-
tion, it's benefits are to be for
one class of the people alone
the farmer; and, peculiarly, it is
the farmer who of all classes of
our population is said to be least
inclined to view socialistic propo
sitions with favor. But now he is
brought up before one designed
expressly for his own benefit, to
the exclusion of all others. How
is he going to meet it? It will
be interesting to watch. We
are not going to oppose the
adoption of the bill, if the peo-
pie think that it will prove bene-
fetal to the farmer class we want
them to have it; but we have,
nevertheless, some objections to
it. It's principal fault, admit
ting the value of the socialistic
step, lies in the distinction of it's
benefits, and for this reason, if
it should be constitutionally
approved it would still seem un.
constitutionally sound i if we
may be permitted to frame the
paradox. The fund which is to
used in carrying out this scheme
will be taken from the public
revenues, to which the farmers
contribute in no larger degree
than any other class, and since
all society would support the in
stitution all society should be in
cluded in it's benefits.
