NOTES

ley Sheep Breeders Association a
Portland buyer visited Payette last
week and is 20 bid on the whole

CLOVER. Reports are that the
clover fields are looking fine. Most
of these were started in May by
broadcasting the clover in the grow
ing wheat This will be kept in
good growing condition and care
should be taken TO water thoroly
about a week before the wheat is
cut so that the ground will not get
TOO dry before the wheat is removed
and the next watering given. II
properly rgown there should be q
good cutting / nSeptember.. Then
another good hay crop is removed
next June with a seed crop to re-
move 3 months later On account
OF the weeyiI damage to alfalfa
fields in this county many alfalfa
fields will be changed ovvr to clover
this fall. Our clover growers last
year made twice the money that al
faifa growers did and many alfalfa
fields will be piowed up this fall and
put into fall wheat ready for clover
sowing the spring following.

FEEDER STEERS. Within the
,ext few weeks the County, Agent
plans to get line on sters for win
er feeding. Every man who has
surplus hay had better plan TO feed
his own hay as he may not be al
owed to ship it from the county
Hence cut it at the proper time so
hat it will be fine stemmed and ap-
,etizing. Growers will that it does
lot pay to feed big stem hay nor
should they expect to pawn it off on
;tockmen who have to buy hay Pre-
pare your hay right then feed it to
Tour own steers.
HAY LABOR More hay labor
has been available than was e1-
,ected a few weeks ago Wages
ire $3.50 and board and the hay
stacks are going up fast this week
Several men are using slings which =
loes faster work than does the Jack
ION fork and permits the use OF
,oys to drive wagons since there is
10 heavy lifting to do. One ranch ;
,ses a self filler loader direct from
he window thus saving lots of Ia
,or to bunch and to pitch on the |
wagons later. Slings and leaders
an now be seen in operation and
,anchers interested should get
inc on them now.
