Corn Cultivation Is
Studied at Prosser
canadian National Railways

Corn cultivation has long been ac-
cepted as paying farm practice. The
amount of cultivation necessary, how
ever, and the means by which cultiva-
ton benefits the corn, are not definite
ly known. In an attempt to secure in
formation on these points, the Irri-
cation Branch Experiment Station at
Prosser, started corn cultivation ex-
pertinent in 1923, and this experiment
has been enlarged each year since.
The experiment at present, accord
ing to H. P. Singleton, assistant in
crops and soils at the Prosser station,
includes IL plots handled by six diff
ferent methods, varying from no Gull
tivation at all after the corn is plant
ed, to thorough cultivation throughout
the entire growing season. Weeds are
kept down in the uncultivated plots
by pulling them. ALI plots are irri-
gated at the same time and receive
approximately the same amount Of
water. The moisture content Of the
soil and the yield Of air dry shelled
corn produced on each plot Is the
basis upon which comparisons are
made, but notes are also taken upon
any other noticeable difference in
crop growth.
The result obtained in the last two
years, 1923 and 1924, were very SINH
lar and though not conclusive, the fact
that the plots which received no Gull
tivation after the plants were about
six inches tall, slightly out-yielded all
plots receiving thorough cultivation
throughout the entire season, indicat-
ed that the chief value of corn Guilt
walton on irrigated sandy loan soil
is in eradicating weeds. Detailed re-
suits will be published at the compile
ton of the experiment.

University of Idaho
Studying Alfalfa Pest

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow
The alfalfa eelworm disease, first
noted in the United States in 1921
when it was found in field in Her
mission, Oregon, has since been found
in Idaho, Washington, California, Col
orado and Utah, according to state.
ment by DR.. Charles w. Hungerford
plant pathologist for the University OF
Idaho experiment station. This dis
ease has not been so destructive in
the United States as it has been
abroad. However, it has not been
under observation for sufficiently
long time to know it's capabilities for
doing damage.
The disease has often been attrib'
uted to winter killing, as it causes a
thinning out of alfalfa in spots, due
to the dying Of some Of the plants
This leaves a poor stand Of dwarfed
plants with a reduced number Of
stems, some Of which may be more
or less yellowed and distorted. Some
of the stems of the diseased plants
may wilt and die in the early stages
of the disease. Stems are swollen at
the base, brown in color and are often
brittle and easily broken off. New buds
and sprouts from the crown may be
swollen, pale yellowish Or cream-col.
ored and of a spongy texture. Swell
ing way appear on the plants as far as
foot from the ground. Badly dis
eased plants show distinct rotting
of both stem and crown, with many
of the stems completely killed.
The organism causing the disease is
a minute organism scarcely a TWEEN.
tieth of an inch long when fully
grown. A single female may lay as
many as 200 eggs and the young are
about tenth as large as the adults
These eelworms penetrate the young
succulent parts of the plants and
cause the swellings SO characteristic
of the disease.
AS it is of the utmost Importance
that more be learned of the distribu.
ton and severity of the disease in
Idaho, the University experiment sta
ton pathologist has requested that
suspected specimens be sent to him
at Moscow.

State College Prof.

honor of being appointed member
Of the Committee on Economy Theory

tional Research Council.
The work of the Highway Research
Board of the National Research Coun.

effort is being made "to assist organi-
cation in outlining comprehensive
national program Of highway research
and to coordinate their activities
hereunder; to organize committees
for special problems; to act in gen
eral advisory capacity; to serve as a
clearing house for highway research
information" The advisory board do
not duplicate the efforts of existing re.
search groups. 1t does no research
work directly, but acts rather to pro-
mote co-ordinated effort in a con-
sistent national program; suggests
programs to those organizations best
fitted to attach them.
The research board acts through
technical committees: Economic
Theory of Highway Improvement;
Character and Use Of Road Materials;
Structural Design of Roads. DR.. Wal
Ter has spent years in work along this
line, is head of the department of civil
engineering at the State College, and

Publishes Pamphlet On
Idaho Mining Resources

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
Results of several studies covering
periods from 1920 to 1928 of different
mining areas Immediately adjacent to
the country near Snake River be-
tween Burnt River ON the south and
tanned in pamphlet by d. G. Living
stone, issued by the Idaho Bureau OF
Mines and Geology. 1t is entitled "A
Geologic Reconnaissance of the Min
eral and Cuddy Mountain Mining Dis
trict, Washington and Adams Coun-
ties, Idaho"
Two rather well-lnown districts,
Mineral and Cuddy mountain, which
have produced significant amounts OF
silver ore in the past, appear from
this report to have further possible
ties, according to Dean Francis A.
Thompson, secretary of the bureau,
in preface to the pamphlet.
The region described in the report
is adjacent to the Snake River and
extends northwest from Huntington,
Ore, along that stream to the COX
bow at the mouth of Indian Creek.
It is narrow belt, some so miles
long and Is miles or less wide. Snake
River throughout this distance, forms
the boundary between the states of
Idaho and Oregon. The region in
cludes the mining districts of Mineral
and Cuddy Mountain in Idaho, the Bay
Horse district in Oregon and the in
tervening terrain.
The pamphlet, which Is No. IL Of the
series, is profusely illustrated with
geological sketch maps OF the area
covered.

washing the glassware. 1t is marYel-
GUS how quickly dust accumulates on
bulbs and shades, especially those
hung from the ceiling. And 1T is also
marvellous how thoroughly little
dust will choke off the brilliance Of
the best lamp made. Offices and bus
mess buildings find that 1t pays them
to hire washers to keep their lamps
and fixtures clean, and housewives
can profit from their example.
Next, be sure that the lamps you
buy are Of standard make; the cheap
er ones offered at "cut rates" are usu-
ally made to sell, and not to burn, and
quickly lose their efficiency"
