FARM BUREAU
NOTES
Gopher Control:


using the Farm Bureau methods o
gopher poisoning. Gophers take tn
bait readily now and the sport o
gopher batting is quite exciting.
Local Hay Values:
/ Various reports are afloat as tC
hay values and prices. Contrary tC
many of these reports We fail tc
! find any definite sales of number one
grade hay, foot measure, for Isss
than $1,000 ton One man repor,s the
sale of IS tons at $3.50 ton. Dut says
that it was spoiled hay and he got
full value. Anothsr party is rvported
TO have offered hay at s2.Oo less
per ton than he paid Tor it. Investi-
cation however brings out that the
party approached could not use the
hay and present indications are that
the buyer is still purchasing more
hay at $500 for fesding. Feed your
hay if you can-your fields necd the
fertilizer and you have sale mar
ket for your hay on steer legs. Or
certain owners viii contract to sell
to you at 10c. now and buy back at
13c. in the spring. One Garnet get
rich at this but can make good wag7
es by this method OF oy rwintsring
stock If you wish to ship your hsy
better bale it now while the E'aath-
er and roads are good About flo,-
10000 worth OF hay has already been
shipped thru the Fayette County
Farm Bureau. II you are interested
come in Saturday and We viii talk
it over. While number one grade
hay can be baled for $3.50 ton it
should bring $500 in the stack.
Cur Dogs:
More farm sheep and fewer cur
dogs should be the slogan for Pay
ette County. Farm Flocks cannot
long succeed while stray dogs roam
roads and pastures day and night
ready to destroy the dozen fine
ewes You have raised. Dogs should
Re kept at home and those found
roaming around impounded or shot
at sunrise. Feed sheep instead OF
dogs.
Alfalfa And Glover Seed:
If growers of these seeds will list
their crop tonnage al the Farm Bur
reau Office it is possible that out,
side offers may be better than that
Of travelling buyers. Leave a ounce
seei sample to be forwarded to the
State Seed Analyst for free germi-
nation test
Farm Bureau Meetings:
Evening meetings at school houses
will begin directly after Tn nix giving
Crop Improvement, Pest Control and
Poultry Management methods will

Plan to attend and learn how others
succeed.

T on Big Willow it may be feasible
o pump water to certain dry lands
nd get them thoroughly soaked and

heep Killing Dogs:
To protect small flocks OF farm :
heep state law should be adopt
d providing for a tax on all dogs
nd that they be kept at home nights
S well as days. The session laws i.
t Idaho for 1915 aid to some extent,
nd empower cities and villages !,
0 impose tax on dogs Of not,
ass than $500 or more than $1,000
NJ to destroy any dog whose owner
efuses to pay such tax" The 1905
NV provides that THE owner, pos :
essor, or harborer of any dog or :
nimal that kills, worries or wounds :
