The spring season is not so far off,
and it is not too early to give con-
sideratiOn to some of the problems
that appear with il. On a number of
ranches last year cutworms did con-
siderable damage to garden and grain.
Such damage can be prevented to a
great extent by the use of paper wrap
pings around plants in the garden. and
hardly ever is a plant protected in
this manner attacked by a cutwOrm.
The paper wrapping should extend
we'll below the surface of the gorund
and an inch or more above the ground.
In grain fields the poison bait is used.
A half pound Of paris green and so
pounds of bran is mixed dry. A quart
of cheap syrup or thin mOlasses and
two gallons of water are then stirred
in with the mixture, forming a crumb-
ly mash. This amount of poison bait
Will W acres scattered thinly
over the places where the cutworms

best time to scatter the bait.

principal aim on this ranch, yet he
intends to have in time one of the zest
poultry yards in the valley.
Mr.. Gerber is a native of southern
Russia and came to the United States
in 1909. locating in Odessa, Washing
ton. where he worked among the wheat
ranches. In the fall of 1910 he came
to Idaho and located on his present
ranch. In 1915 he was married to
Clara Wetzel, daughter of Mrs. Chris
tina Wetzel, who resides on a ranch
three-quarters of a mile distant. A
neat three-room dwelling is occupied
by the family. A barn 38x56 feet was
built two years ago. This structure
rests on a concrete foundation and is
well equipped to shelter IA head of
stock and 25 m of hay. 1t is one of
the Enthusiastically good barns of
Pleasant Valley and with it's coat of
red paint and white facings is one of
the landmarks of that part of the val
ley. A granary, chicken house and a
blacksmith shop have been provided.
Mr.. Gerber attnds to all his own
blacksmithing. Mr.. Gerber was sum-
moned on the first call of draft for
men for service in the army, but was
exempted on the ground of having a
family and being needed on his farm.
This rancher in 1913 raised a crop
of Gold Coin wheat which on parts of
the fields went to an average of 26
bushels to the acre and his constant
endeavor is TO equal or excel that rec
ord. He remains on his ranch sum-
mer and winter, and he is convinced
that it is detrimental to the best in
terests Of any ranch for the owner to
absent himself for months at a time.
This rule of remaining on the farms
during the winter months is prac-
ticed by all the ranchers of this part
of the county.

Now this record of vigorous and far

Yet the senate investigation was not
twenty-four hours old before it was re-
vealed:
l. That the ordnance department

that they will not get it before next

after three years experience with an
American machine gun CLewis), have
over G 10000 Of these in service, we have
been experimenting with a new gun
Drowning, and, although it has never
been tested in the field, have accepted

lay involved in getting ready the cages,
jiigs, etc. necessary for its manu-
facture in quantities. Consequently,
the ordnance bureau will have none

months after u entrance into the

6 After adopting the Enfield rifle,
for the manufacture of which in large
quantities our factories were we'll
equipped. due TO their turning out sew
eral thousands a day for the British
army, the department has incurred
many months delay by Remembering
these guns to suit American ammuni-
ton. AS a result ii follows that. should
the U-boats. or any other untoward
circumstance, cut off the American
supply, We couldn't avail ourselves Of
the British reserve of ammunition. and
our troops might face a sudden short
age. The delay. furthermore, will make
it impossible TO furnish troops with
the new Enfield until they are due to
start for Europe.
These amazing revelations bring to
mind a passage in an ancient Liturgy
which reads: we have done the
things which We ought not to have
done. and we have left undone those
things which We ought TO have done"

they can be prepared in many ways.
In some sections of this county, how
ever, they are grown principally as a
stock food. Horses, COWS, hogs, chick
ems, geese and ducks all eat them
eagerly and thrive on them. Horses in
particular like the ration Of carrots
so well that they will pick them from
out a box Of oats, and it has been 10
ticed that horses given a daily ration
Of carrots are always slick and in the
best of health. During the winter
months when the work horses on the
ranch are idle most of the time the
feeding of carrots is an economical
measure, for they are grown at less
expense than oats or wheat. Grain
thus saved enters into the economics
of the nation during the struggle now
on, and while it may seem to be a small
matter yet the old saying that every
little bit helps" applied to the raising
and feeding of carrots, retains its full
worth.

ALONG The HIGHWAYS
Gleanings by the Pilgrim In His
Wanderings Here and There.

NJ. V. Talon, one of Arbon valleys
farmers who came nere from eastern
Washington, has improved each shin
ing hour the past fall in blowing for
spring seeding. During the mild De-
cember weather he has put in con
siderable time in freighting wheat
from the platforms at Pauline to the
switch at Michaud, thus aiding in re-
lieving the congestion Of the wheat
stations in the valley. He has $50
acres of Turkey Red seeded and the
outlook for a splendid crop in his
fields is exceedingly promising.
Trusting hat the readers of this
column will kindly read and digest it,
another little talk On carrots is here
with presented. OF course, it is per-
fectly natural that the Pilgrim evinces
a prediction for carrots because he
has lived in Utah so many years. The
natives of that state raise carrots, cul-
tivate carrots, sing the praises of car
rots, and eat carrots-until they have
become known as "carrot-eaters.'
They fry them, boil them, make pud-
ding of them, and make pie of them.
A bowl of real Utah carrot soup made
by one of the aged pioneer mothers OF
that state of pioneers rs the best soul
made this side of the polar star. How
the other side of the sta gets along
without carrots is a difficult matter
to fathom. Carrots are one of the
very best root crops grown on any
farm and they grow on dry farms as
we'll as on irrigated tracts. OF course
everyone knows that they are a splen.

The revenue derived from a dairy
herd on the ranch is well exemplifed
by the records of the ]. d. Isaak farm,
three miles northwest of American
Falls. Up to October, 1917, from 20
to 25 COWS were MIXED on the ranch
and the milk retailed in American
Falls. The monthly income from this
source was from $3.50 to 5000. At
present only eight COWS are being
MIXED and cream is shipped to mar
ket, bringing in from S45 to $50 per
month Mr.. Isaak is engaged in the
business of raising cattle for the mar
ket, but has decided that by no means
can he afford to do without a dairy
herd on his ranch.
Mrs. Hattie L. Jones resides on a
ranch of 100 acres four miles south
Of American Falls, near Warm creek.
She is a pioneer of this section, having
lived on this farm for 80 years. In
days past when the open range was
the rule st%ockraising was the main
endeavor, but the dairy interests were
not overlooked. In the earlier days
from 20 to % COWS were MIXED, but
during the past summer only five
cows-high grade Durhams and Jer-
seys-were MIXED. Besides supply
ing the home with cream and butter,
from y to IA pounds of butter were
marketed each week at an average Of
80 cents per pound. A flock of 70
Rhode Island Reds and Buff Orping-
ton chickens on this ranch never let
up in their industry. Last winter dur
ing the extremely cold weather a few
eggs were gathered each day, and dur
ing the present mild winter these hens
are laying almost continuously. They
are given adequate shelter and plenty
Of feed and are ~rewarding the care
expended upon them.
Years ago the farmers and stock
men all over Utah adopted the prac-
tice of cutting twigs some three feet
long from the Lombardy poplar (more
commonly known as the Mormon pop
lar) trees just before leafing time and
sticking them into the ground any old
place where water could be gotten to
them handily. ~Irrigating bitches and

Ch(t RNaA A0af oAO" a AaPlQ 6AOn III
and all over Utah groves and long
rows of them have attained a height of
frequently rs and so feet. To see the
stock in the meadows and pastures
seeking the shade of these trees in the
hot summer months explains at a
glance why they were set out in the
ranches and farms. No better wind
break can be built anywhere, and that
these trees grow well in high attitudes
is attested by the fact that on the Ar
bon valley ranch of d. j. Bowen a row
of these trees was planted in 1895 and
they have grown to such a height that
they are a landmark of the valley
These trees were planted well up the
slope of the western edge of the val
ley and stand at an altitude of around
$500 feet. Mr.. Bowen states that they
required very little attention and thai
he prizes them highly as an addition
to the beauty to his home site.
