What Helps the Farmer Most2

NnaC Helps the Farmer MOSCE
What extension agency is most
helpful to the farmer?
Among 1900 farmers of whom that
question was asked, in a survey in a
number of the north and western
states, 38 per cent said that they re-
ceived most help from the county
agent and the farm bureau. The agri-
cultural press was given first place
by 81 per cent. Three per cent Of tie
farmers interviewed said they receiv-
ed most help from farmers organiza-
tions other than the farm bureau and
8 per cent said they received most
help from bulletins and agricultural
reports. Twenty-Five per cent had no
definite opinion as to which agency
was most helpful to them.
One of the questions asked was,
What is the biggest problem of farm
ers in your community today? The
farmers who answered this question
were divided as follows: Labor, 682;
improved farm practices, 637; market
ing, 300; better organization Of farm
ers, s55; financial assistance, 81;
roads, a.; repeal of the daylight saw
ing law, 8; schools, 1.
OF the farmers visited, two out of
every three were acquainted with the
county agent and his work and 90
per cent of them were favorable to it.

CASING GOPHERS
NEW USE FOR AUTO
NOVEL BUT PRACTICAL EN-
PLOYMENT FOR THE
FORD CAR

That Oh the Boise Project during
the irrigation seasons of 1917 ant
1918 many gophers were gassed will
Ford car is stated by w. G. Ste
| ward, Associate in Agricultural Engi
neering at the university.
The exhaust pipe was cut between
| the engine and the muffler, and two
way cutout was inserted SO that the
gas could be entirely cut off from the
muffler or could all be sent through
the muffler. Into the exhaust pipe
back of the muffler was inserted a
piece of gas pipe to which was fasten-
ed, by a coupling, % feet of flexible
metal steam hose.
This hose should be made of gal
vanized iron or other stiff metal, as
it has to stand considerable hard US
age.
To use this outfit the machine is
run on the ditch bank or other place
where the gopher holes may be To-
Gated. Wherever a fresh mound of
dirt appears, a hole is opened into the
runway and the end of the hose is
inserted into the hole. The cutout is
then turned so as to throw the burn
ed gas back through the muffler into
the hole. The engine is started and
the throttle is advanced so that a
lean mixture is burned. This creates
a dense smoke that will appear at any
point where the runway may open.
If hole is made in a runway, say
90 feet from the point where the hose
is inserted, the smoke should show
in from to 10 seconds after the en-
CINE is started If the gas has a
mixture of cylinder oil the smoke
will appear white and will show much
palmer.
To use this outfit to advantage,
there should be party of three, one
to drive ,one to open the runway, and
one to operate the hose. At times it
nay be an advantage to have another
rs feet of hose to attach so as to
leach a hole where the machine can
lot be driven.
The effect of the gas on gophers
Ind squirrels is almost instantaneous.
1t is surprising how quickly mile
If canal bank can be covered with |
his outfit. The bank should be work |
ID at frequent intervals to kill any
lnimals that may have escaped prev
ously and to kill those that come in
rom the adjoining fields
Ordinary rubber hose is not suit
lble for this work as the heat and
Ill cause the rubber to soften and !
swell and thus close the hose so no
moke will pass through. Care should |
re taken that the engine is not over |
leated as the burning of a lean mix
ure tends to rapid heating.
While this method is not as econ
mical as poisoning yet it can be used
t a season when poison is ineffective
nd will get the wise ones that avoid
trap or poison.

One farmer out of every three was re-
ceiving the bulletins of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and two out of every five the bulletins
OF the State college of agriculture.
Four farm families out of every five

means of carrying the codling moth to
new sources of infection. With the
greatest care, however, there will be
need for thorough spraying of the
trees, following the blossom period,
with the arsenical spray. Again,
thoroughness is the keynote to sue
cess. Good materials, good tools and
good work are necessary

For December and January the cows
on the Caldwell Satisfaction lead the
Canyon County Cow Testing associa-
ton. During December the 10 sub
station COWS averaged 331 pounds of
butterfat and during January IA cows
averaged 1872 pounds. The high COW
in the list produced 1851 pounds of
milk with total of sos pounds of but
terfat during January.

Counting it only in dollars and
cents, how much did that last cold
cost you? A man may not always
stop work when he has a cold, but
perhaps it would be better if he did.
1t takes about ten days to get COM
pletely rid of cold under the usual
treatment. That time can be much
shortened by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and proper care of
yourself, in fact, a bottle of this
remedy in the house is mighty good
investment during the winter and
spring months. F
