Cucumber Beetle Will

They even burrow down to meet them
before they come above the ground.
They devour the tender stems and
leaflets before the plant is fairly
started, gnaw the older stems and ripe

they work rapidly an entire crop may
be destroyed in a few days. The

The control measures which have
given the greatest promise Of success
are preyentiyes, repellents. farm prac-

Without Good Pasture
Hogs Are Improbable

All through the summer season hogs
should have access to pasture. Sows
with pigs cannot do their hest in
small. dry enclosures, and they will
not be profitable when so confined.
ut is natural for hogs to exercise

OF plants to which they have access"
says II. W. Clark of the Colorado Ac-

Ish a ration comparable to pasture in
all other respects. A pasture is the
first thing that should be provided In
pork production and pigs should have
constant access TO It from the time
they are born until disposed Of.

Without going into the merits OF
either argument presented in the "po-

feels certain that no one will deny
the proposition that never before in
the history of Canyon county have
producers received such fair proper
ton OF the sales value of their potato
crop. Cash buyers, whether or not
they have deliberately debated prices
to increase their handling margin,
have undoubtedly handled stuff this
season on the narrowest possible
margin. To the credit OF the Cali
iornia Vegetable Union let this be
aid. there is no longer any mystery
n the local potato business. Records
II transactions arc open. Business
lay by day can be followed to the
ent And that means that producers
re a, least getting exactly what they
re entitled TO get I, is altogether a
ealihy situation.
