Shortage of Farm
Labor is Outlook
By United Press Leased Wire

by Vnttcd PrehS Lenscu wire
CALEXICO, May 2l.-A shortage
of farm labor looms III the valley
according to those in position to
know. Already ovetures have been
made to unemployed labor on the
coast but with little success. With
cantaloupe and watermelon season
coming on, followed by the cotton
season, growers are beginning to
wonder where they are to obtain
sufficient help. 1t has always been
customary to import labor from be-
low the line but this year, the i'm
mense improvement activities Of
Baja California, together with vast
ly increased careage of various
crops, makes the outlook for obtain
ing labor in this section decidedly
unfavorable.

ROGUE YOUR POTATOES

Potato growers who are growing
their own seed or expect to sell seed
should be roguing the fields now be-
fore the vines get too large. Take
out all small or diseased plants, on
cOlored plants, or those with curling
or whiting foliage.
Mosaic, Leaf Roll, Curley Dwarf,
Blackleg and Fusarium Wilt, are the
principle diseases to contend with.
If you are in doubt about a plant
pull it up.
Mosaic, Leaf Roll and Curley
Dwarf can be seen in the leaves and
foliage; Blackleg and wilt causes
color changes in the leaves and can
be found on the root. Blackleg
blackens the stem from the seed
piece up. Fusarium Wilt discolors
the vascular tissue in the stem.
Field meetings will be held later
to help identify these diseases. Seed
plots and certified seed fields are
looking good and far ahead of the
common run of potatoes. Inspection
work is going on in Bingham county
this week for certification.

HOW TO OBTAIN TIMBER


T. W. Mckinley, timber cruiser for
the U. S. general land office, who is
now investigating timber cases in the
Blackfoot land district was thru
Blackfoot recently. He states that
many people are apparently not
aware that to procure timber from
vacant government lands without
the proper authorization constitutes
a trespass and renders the offender
liable to fine and Imprisonment. Per-
mits may be secured from Ralph S.
Kelley, chief of field division, Salt
Lake City, Utah. In making re-
quests for timber for individual use
such as derrick and corral poles,
cellar timbers, fence posts, fuel
wood, etc., the amount and kind Of
material wanted, the description of
the lands by township and range,
section number and subdivision and
for what purpose the material is to
be used must be set forth. Timber
can not be cut for sale or exchange
and if someone is procuring the
timber as agent for another, the rate
per day or unit measure must be
given. Timber can not be removed
from lands entered under the home
stead laws. The government makes
no charge, but requires strict OBJ
servance of the regulations.

the juices. It may be understood that
poisons would not kill these pests for
in sucking juices the insect would not
get the poison. These insects must be
killed by contact; that is, insecticides
that kill by contact, such as gases,
fumes and strong solutions that burn
the bodies of the insects or stop their
breathing. Examples of sucking in
sects are San Jose scale, aphis or
plant lice. San Jose scale is killed by
a solution of lime-sulphur, aphis by
nicotine solution.
Remembering these principles made
simple and practical the gardener or
orchardist should examine the plant
or the tree to see how the pest has
taken its food or look at the insect.

Here are few suggestions for gar
deners as to the amount of arsenate
of lead to use:
For chewing insects on seed fruits
and truck crops 4 to tablespoons ar
senate of lead in one gallon of water.
For stone fruits. chewing insects,
tablespoons arsenate of lead to one
gallon of water. For spraying Irish pO-
tatoes use to tablespoons arsenate
of lead to one gallon of water
Paris green does not dissolve well
and is harder to use to advantage. 1t
Is often busted on with ashes or air
slaked lime. When used in water for
Colorado potato beetles l to 8 tea
spoons Of paris green to one gallon
Of water, and 6 tablespoons of n.y.
drafted lime.

GRADING OF CREAM is URGED
Surest Means Of Producing Good But
tor, says Dairy Specialist at
University Farm.

Pointing out that cream grading Is
the surest means Of producing good
butter, A. ]. Mcclure, dairy specialist
with the university agricultural extern
sion service, adds that Eastern mar
kets are scoring butter closer than
ever before. "There is real competi-
tion," he says, "for the best markets,
and If cooperative creameries are to
hold such markets they must make
good butter and see that it Is sold as
such. A cream-cooling tank on every
farm makes cream grading easier, both
for creamery men and for patrons. Are
you urging cream cooling and cleanli-
ness Of cream separators? This should
precede cream grading"

If the drain tubes get choked and

Way Of Eating.

Do not forget that insect pests Of
the orchard and the garden are CLASH

Chewing insects have well-developed

will be seen from this description that
poison Is the way to get rid of these
pests. Examples Of these pests are cut

Arsenic in some form is one of the
best poisons for these chewing In
sects. There are other poisons. Arsen-
ate of lead Is one Of the best forms:

Sucking insects do not eat their

OF INTEREST TO MOTHERS

The purpose of the Idaho Bureau
of Child Hygiene is to give informa-
ton concerning the health OF
mothers and babies. Every Idaho
baby cannot be born into a luxurious
home, but it is the right of every
Idaho baby to be well born and to
be born into a healthy home. If
every baby is so born, the home, the
community and the state are richer.
for as the safety OF building de-
ponds upon its foundation, so the
safety of a race depends upon its
foundation-the baby. And just as
it is needless to repair the building
IL its foundation is weak, so it Is
useless to try to build up a strong
civilization except thru healthy
children. Physicians tell us that
many of the ills of childhood and
many of the serious ills of the
mother can be prevented by the
proper care of the mother during the
months prior to the birth of the
baby.
The State Bureau of Child Hy-
giene has prepared series of letters
for expectant mothers. They deal
with the care that the mother should
take of herself in order to have a |
strong healthy baby. If any mother
would like these letters for herself
or friend, please send name and adj
dress and the approximate date of
to the Idaho Bureau of
Child Hygiene, State House, Boise.
These letters are free and the service
Is confidential.

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP

When President Harding's party
reached Fairbanks, the farthest
north, Mrs. Harding was much
wearied with travel and the pro-
longed excitement of sightseeing
where there was no night, but only a
twilight where today tapers off into
tomorrow, or, as an eminent writer
has said, Where today is married to
tomorrow, with the midnight sun for
candles and the north pole for the
hymenial altar" A person entering
those surroundings for the first
time can no more resist the tempta-
ton to stay up and watch it than
newly weds can keep from wonder
ing if the next acquaintance they
meet will congratulate them. So
when 1t was time for the party to
take to the famous Richardson trail
of $50 miles leading back towards
the coast, Mrs. Harding was in bed
exhausted, and everybody else was
pretty we'll tired out. Under those
circumstances the whole party re-
turned most of the way by rail, but
the president and some members of
the party took a short automobile
trip along dugroad overlooking the
canyon of the Copper river, where
the cars climbed as much as a thou
sand feet above the water, with
perpendicular cliffs be-
low. 1t is said that it took some of
the party a couple of days to get
their nerves back down to normal
after the tension of that trip.
Before leaving for 1.-The States"
the president and his advisers held a
good many conferences on Alaskan
problems, and they made stop at
Sitka on the way back and one stop
in Canada at Van Couver. While go
ing from Van Couver to Seattle, the |
presidents steamer, the Henderson,
,Ollided with the Zeilin, one of a feet !

There was a dense fog and the YES

vas not damaged and the Zeilin was
10 badly rammed that the engine
ooms were Immediately flooded and
he crew was taken off on the
henderson. After a short delay, the
henderson went on it's way, and the
amaged vessel was towed into port
At Won Couver a number of per-
ons were slightly poisoned by eating
ONE sea food that was not well pre-
erved or fresh. The president kept
is engagements of the day in Seat
e, but took to his bed in the evening
nd missed all engagements the fol-
,wing day.

FAVOR ST. REGIS RASPBERRY
Popularity Attained Through its Long
Season Of FruitIna-Is Of
Excellent Flavor.

The st. Regis red raspberry has at
tanned its popularity through its long
season Of fruiting, which extends over
a period Of about three months. The
berries are smaller than Cuthbert, but
are of excellent flavor. The first crop
ripens ahead Of Cuthbert, the fruit
being produced on the second-year
canes Later in the season the grow
ing canes begin to produce fruit, and
it Is from these canes that the fall
crop is secured. st. Regis bears the
latter part Of the first season on these
new canes. The same culture should
be given as for the midseason red
varieties, but to produce the much
advertised crops. one must not neglect
the culture. Fertilize with manure
and keep the soil well stirred Some
growers are tearing out this variety,
claiming 1t failure, but with proper
care it bears out Of season crops. as
Is recommended.

ICE WATER FOR DAIRY COWS
Animals Dislike II a. Much ~ Hu-
man Beings In Winter, Says
Kansas Dairyman.

Although people drink large Quanti-
ties OF ice water in summer, they do
not like it in cold weather. But the
only ice water. that dairy cows get
Is In winter, and they like 1t then as
little as do human beings, according
to c. r. Gearhart, extension dairyman
OF the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
Cows producing milk require large
quantities Of water. They will di-
minish their milk flow rather than
drink cold water so often furnished
them.
Water which Is stored In tanks in
winter should be warmed with tank
heater, SAYS Mr.. Gearhart These are
made to burn coal, wood, or corncobs
When only one or two cows are to be
watered, teakettle of boiling water
will take the chill off of the half bar
rel Of water necessary for them.

METHOD FOR FEEDING COWS
Dusty Hays or Feeds That Are Liable
to faint Milk Should Be Given
After Milking.

Hays that. are dusty or feeds that
are liable to faint milk should be fed
after the COW Is MIXED. A fine
method for feeding is to feed hay
three times day and silage and grain
twice. If grain is fed only once the
COW is liable to have digestive troubles
and this will affect the milk flow.
