The outstanding piece of work done
by E. II. Rinehart, field animal hus-
bandman, was his summers campaign
to find feed for the thousands of cat
tie and sheep which were forced off the
range on account of the long dry
period. especially in the southeastern
part of the state. 1t was estimated
that 100000 head of sheep, $4,000 head
of breeding cattle and $4,000 head of
young cattle would have to be moved
from the range on account OF this
drouth. When a compilation on this
movement was made in the middle of
August, it was found that at that time
1900 head of cattle and 100000 head
of sheep had been moved
Wool pools conducted in the sew
eral counties netted the partici-

mate Is based on prices received
for wool as compared with prices
received in adjoining counties,
where wool was not pooled. The
Boise valley pool sold the wool of
five counties. consisting OF 100000
pounds, at a flat rate of 81 cents.
Gooding county sold at from AZ to
SO cents, Camas county at 40 cents,
and Bingham at SO. More than
100000 pounds of wool were sold
comparatively and approximately
10000 farm sheep and several hun
dred cattle were shipped cooper

COMMISSION GETS RESULTS

A general shortage in refrigerator
cars for the handling of potatoes and
fruit occurred during the year, due to
the fact that the building of a sufi-
cient number of these cars had been
neglected during war time and to the
increased production of these commod-
tiles. There was an admitted lack of
cars to handle the crop and the efforts
of the public utilities commission were
directed toward procuring for Idaho
growers their pro rata share of cars
available and to see that Idaho was
not Disseminated against in the dis
tribution of cars. These efforts were
of results favorable to Idaho
growers. but in spite of this there was
a large loss of potatocs--approxim
200 cars in Canyon county alone-and
a considerable loss of apples and other
fruit.

SIX SOIL Problems
TACKLED BY SPECIAL
DEMONSTRATORS
Extension Department Expert
Directs Important Tests IN
der Way on 81 Farms-Re-
suits Important.

Six different problems in the i'm
provement of Idaho soils have been at
tackled by the extension division in the
course OF the year. This work has
been under direction of T.. b. Hitch
cock. soils specialist. The six prob
lens are; Reclamation of adobe soil;
introduction Of proper crop rotations
to maintain and build up fertility; rec
lamation Of alkali lands; use and ham
ding of barnyard and green manures
as fertilizers; fertilization with nitrate
of soda and with lime, and sulphur
treatment for soils.
+ Fifty-seven farms are conducting
in this work through
direct cooperation with the county
agents and the soils specialist. APP
proximately $50 acres are affected.
TREAT "SLick SPOTS"
One of the biggest of these Idaho
soils problems is the treatment of the
so-called slick spots" Which are little
stretches Of adobe land that are found
of southern Idaho. Examinations in
the university laboratories have shown
that the chemical constituents of these
spots are practically the same as those
of the good land. The problem, then.
is to break these soils up, physically,
SO that crops can grow in them.
In one place, where dynamite was
used on these spots in barley field,
the treated land raised 1886 pounds,
as compared with AGO pounds on I'M
treated land. A man in another coun-
ty, who followed the blowing with an

Az state seed commissioner Mr..
Sheehan has charge OF inspection Of
small seeds. July the bureau of mar
kets Of the state department of agri-
culture established grades for timothy,
alfalfa, red. alsike and white clover
seeds. which were the first small seed
grades to be established in the United
States. These have aroused consider
able interest throughout the country
and are expected to do much to Inn
prove the quality OF Idaho seeds, which
has been unusually high, hut which is
deteriorating.
Investigations in weed control were
conducted by Paul A. Wenger. assist
ant field agronomist, who developed an
original method Of fighting persistent
perennials. such as the Canada thistle.
Results show that wherever water can
be gotten on the patches and allowed
to remain for two or three weeks the
weed will be killed. Idaho is the first
state to try out the flooding" method
and popular pamphlet Is being writ

duties Of field agent for the Idaho Seed
Growers association, of which Mr..
Sheehan is secretary. Mr.. Allison
worked through the different farm bu-

Particularly striking among the re-
suits obtained in this work were those
from the growing of certified Dicklow

Charles III. Bohrer, who until last fall
was county agent of Twin Falls county
estimated the increase in the wheat
crop OF that county alone had been
Sl,0OO,000 more than the crop would
have been worth IL other seed had been
planted. This estimate was based on
an estimated five bushel- per- acre in
crease on 100000 acres. Many elevator
men estimated that the increase had
been twice that figure.
SOME REAL EVIDENCE
Mr.. Sheehan in December announced
that 81 Dicklow wheat demonstrators
in five counties had made S49,271. o4
more from their crop by selling 1t as
seed than they. would have made AT
market price. This was S794.69 for

POSTEDON
CONDITION OF CROPS
Reporting Service Furnished by
Cooperation Extension De-
partment, Farm Bureaus and
Federal Agent.

One of the most interesting forward
steps of the extension service in the
course of the year has been the estab-
hsnment OF the Idaho crop reporting
service, by cooperation of the extern
sion division and the county farm bu-
reaus with the United States bureau
OF crop estimates and the Idaho de-
partment of immigration, labor and
statistics. Under this arrangement Ju-
Illus III. Jacobson, federal crop reporter,
became in effect a crop reporting spe-
cialist for the extension division, while
the county farm bureau organizations
throughout the state provide the neces-
sary numerous correspondents for the
bureau of crop estimates.
Idaho crops, under this ARRANGEMENT.
are reported by counties, as had not
been possible hitherto. The basis for
comparison and of checking up these
county by county reports is provided
by the law passed by the 1919 legisla-
lure, which requires county assessors
10 collect data concerning the acre
age planted to the different kinds of
crops on every farm in each county
the preceding year. This data makes
possible the publication of monthly
crop estimates by counties.
MUST KNOW FIELD
County and community crop re-
porting committees are formed under
this arrangement and 1t is the inten-
ton that no correspondent shall re-
port on conditions with which he is not
thoroughly familiar This thorough
ness Will require numerous reporters
but 1t Is expected TO add materially to
the effectiveness OF the service and to
increase public confidence in the crop
reports.

CULLS NON-LAY|NG
HENS FROM FLOCK;
BIG SAVING RESULT
Poultry Raisers Make Aston
ishing Progress Under Direc-
tion of University Extension
Specialist Prem Moore.

Prem Moore. the poultry specialist,
is known throughout the state as the
man who can pick out the non-laying
hens from the layers. and better still,
can teach almost anyone else to do so,
in one demonstration. Some of the re-
suits have been astonishing In Can
yon county Mr.. Moore and Mrs. Alpha
Holt, with the assistance of Miss Louise
Riddle, county home demonstration
agent, and George w. Dewey, county
agricultural agent, culled out 100 nom
laying hens in one week. enough to
save $4,000 year in chicken feed. But
the $4,000 saved was not the most I'M
portant feature of the weeks work.
Better than the saving was the fact
that IA community leaders had been
trained in hen culling.
Mr. Moore has the housing problem
ready for the Idaho poultry growers
too, and the feeding and breeding prob
lens, and general care, but thus far
he has been specializing on culling be-
cause 1t produces immediate results
tryman.
RESULTS ARE DEFINITE
The results of one culling demon
stration conducted In Minidoka coun-
ty will illustrate the definiteness Of
this work. Twenty eight hens were
culled out of flock and kept in a sep
arate pen for a week. One day they
laid one egg, one day two eggs, and
the rest of the time none. The rest of
the flock $3.50 laid the usual 40 eggs.
This showed the culls up most conclu-
sively
A woman and her husband who at
tended one of these demonstrations in
the fall of 1918 went home and immed-
fol,
killed many and in no instance did
they kill a hen that was laying. BY
Christmas they had reduced their
flock from about 300 hens to fewer than
100. They applied better methods of
feeding and housing and as a result
got more eggs from their reduced flock
than they had from the usual 800 flock
in former years.
A PLAIN LESSON
Mr. Moore culled one flock of SO
hens, finding % culls and 61 good hens.
They placed these hens on a seven day
test and the 2s culls laid three eggs,
in the seven days. In the
same period the good hens laid 314
eggs. Ws.
In April, May and juno Mr.. Moore
handled 5367 fowls in culling demon
good hens and 1887
culls. Local leaders did much addi-
tional culling.
One farmer in Twin Falls county has
been keeping records of his poultry
since 1918 and his books show that his
flock has made him a net profit of 81
per hen per year. His average egg
has been 1874 eggs per hen
per year He keeps no culls.
One of the extension divisions bull
etins, published recently, is entitled,
