TEST SPRAY FOR
WEEv|L CONTROL
Eight Farmers Experiment With
Four Acre PlatsESays Potato
Worm Scare Need Not Cause
Alarm ......,a,

County Agent E. w. Stephens re-
ports that the farm bureau has this
year been making some spraying
tests on the weevil control in the pro-
duction of Grimm alfalfa seed.
Eight farmers have each planted
two plats of Grimm alfalfa, each plat
containing two acres. Both plats are
being sprayed now and later On one
of the plats will he sprayed again.
AT harvesting time the two plats will
be harvested separately, and thresh-
ed separately, and thus each mans
experience can be recorded as to the
advisability of spraying once or
>Wice, and by considering the total
experience of the eight farmers the
bureau will be able to reach a relia-
BILE conclusion as to which mthod is
'best. The names of the eight farm
ers who are making the test are
printed below:
Reuben Klunch, l. N. Meyer, Ralph
Davis, H. K. Wiley, Geo. A. Line, A.
J. Snyder, Mr. Christianson, of near
Springfield, G. w. Thurston.
Weevil is reported as showing up
in the vicinity of Pingree, Sterling
and Springfield, and the seed grow
ers of these localities have purchased
eight spraying machines.
Mr.. Stephens also reports that a
potato worm scare has become pre-
valent in some parts of the county,
but in regard to this he believes there
is no cause for alarm, as the potato
maggot is always present in the soil,
and if conditions are favorable they
will always start work. Last Satur-
day Claude Wakeland of the State
Department, made Investigations in
the county, and reports that the rot
ting of the potatoes is not so much
due to the work of the maggots as it
is due to late planting and to the
soil having too much moisture in it,
which made it very favorable for the
maggots to work. Some of the farm
ers plowed up their potato fields,
which he believes was unwise, as
since the warm weather has set in,
potatoes are showing a healthy
growth, and there is no cause for
alarm in this respect.

SEN. G0oD|NG IS
DOING GOOD WORK
Reaches Agreement With ]. P. Nor
gan Whereby Latter Promises to
Finance Western Stockmen

Washington, June 11.-As a re-
suit of an agreement reached Friday
at a conference between Senator
Stanfield of Oregon and Senator
Gooding of Idaho, with J. P. Nor
gan, New York financier, Secretary
Mellon and the governors of the re-
gional reserve banks at New York
and Kansas City, the live stock men
OF the West are to be financed with
out government aid. Mr.. Morgan said
that he would promise that New
York banking interests would sup
ply at least fifty per cent of $780,
100000 pool for aiding western live
stock men, if the balance were rails
ed in other parts of the country.
1t was suggested at the conference
that Senator Stanfield should go to
Chicago and arrange another con-
ference with the governor of the
Chicago federal reserve bank at
which the movement should be start
ed for raising the balance of the
pool. He probably will go to Chi
eago Tuesday.
Senator Stanfield introduced some
time ago an amendment to the fed
eral reserve act which would have
made it possible for the government,
through the federal reserve banks, to
finance western live stock raisers
through the live stock banks and
cattle loan companies. This am
endment had the approval of the
secretary OF the treasury and comp
troller of currency, but it was sug-
gested that he withhold the request
for legislative action on his amend
ment until such a conference as that
held Friday could be arranged. The
understanding reached today causes
it to be believed that the finance re-
sources needed by the live stock men
of the west can be had through pri-
vate sources entirely.
