STRIPED BASS

Probably no other fiel comes as
close to the trout In providing sport
for the fisherman than the striped
bass. The original plant of bass
was made in 1879 near Martinez
and the last in 1919 in San Luis
Obispo county. The average striped
bass is not over four or five pounds,
but records tell Of one sold in a
San Francisco market in 1910 which
weighed - pounds. The largest
caught by hook and line in Napa
river, was that taken by William
West, Sept. II, 1911, which weighed
81 1-2 pounds. In 1915, James
Flores caught two bass with net
at the mouth of Feather river, one
tipping the scales at SO pounds, and
the other at Il. It is q valuable
food fish and the commercial catch
in 1925 was 37,773 pounds.

Black Currant
Nurse Of Rust
Acts as Advance Guard in
Spreading Disease Among
the White Pines.
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The European black currant is a
public nuisance. because it acts as an
advance guard in spreading the white
pine blister rust, disease of foreign
origin which is destructive to all of
our American white Tor tive-leafeO
pines, says Samuel b. Detwiler, chief
blister-rust specialist of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Two Host Plants.
The blister rust requires two dis
tinctly different kinds of host plants
for completing its life cycle. The
spores that infect the pines are pro-
duced on the leaves of currant or
gooseberry bushes and transmitted to
the pines through the air. In turn,
the currants and gooseberries become
the pines. While all species of cur
rant and gooseberry plants take the
disease to some extent, the European
black currant is so susceptible that
single spot on one leaf may complete
ly spread the disease to the entire
plant as well as to other nearby
plants of the same species. Thus the
scattered wind-blown spores which
may travel hundreds of miles and not
establish the rust ON other species of
currants do infect the European
black and set up new centers Of infec-
ton. For this reason the European
black currant has been called the
nurse plant" of blister rust and out
lawed by the states in which white
pines are important forest crops.
White Pines Endangered.
The white pines in the United
States that are endangered by bis
ter rust have cash timber value of
approximately $550000,000, while the
lumber value of this timber is many
times greater. This does not take
into account the value of trees of
these species used as ornamentals and
the potentially great value of the
young pines for the future timber
crops. The money value of the black
currant paintings of the country is
negligible.
For these reasons the United States
Department Of Agriculture and the
states concerned have declared the Eu-
ropean black currant public nuisance
and are comparatively engaged in a
campaign to Systematically eliminate
it from the country.

Blue Grass Pasture Is
Equal to Cropped Land

Usually we consider pasture as Of
low value; as, too often, it really is,
Quite recently, however, Prof. ]. W.
White of Pennsylvania State college
has made an exhaustive analysis of
returns from pasture compared with
those cropped in formal rotation.
He finds that good blue grass pas
ture, well fertiIized, gives as large
return in terms of animal nutrients as
corresponding land cropped in rota-
ton. He also finds that the total pro-
duction of protein is greater on the
pasture, than in the rotation. He es-
Inmates that the total cost of these
nutrients will be very much less. I'M
der a well-fertilized and well managed
pasture system, than where the land
is put to rotation. This argument,
therefore, is not intended to diminish
attention to better crop farming. but
rather to urge that the pasture be CIV
en- place in the plan and that the
pasture grasses and clovers be so fed
that they can give for themselves the
best possible accounting. AT present
prices of animal crops. and of COM
mercial plant foods, much more may
be done with our pastures than is
generally recognized.

Hints for the Farm

Feed is expensive; why give it to
scrub cattle?
Farmers must use methods which
will decrease the cost of producing
crops without decreasing the yield.
Probably no other single mistake
causes so much loss to Americans.
and especially American farmers, as
does the loss Of time.-G. +. Warren.
Is your seed corn safe from Jack
Frost's damaging influences? Keep
it hanging in dry, warm place where
there is good circulation of air until It
is thoroughly dry and past all danger
or molding.
Farm management surveys indicate
that cutting the cost of farm machin-
cry is one of the important factors In
efficient farm management II is get
ting the most out of the machine ut

Old Colonial Houses
Built for Permanence

Back in the early days of America,
when the family's interests of neces-
sity were almost entirely centered
about the home, the permanence of the
materials in it's construction was the
paramount consideration, and out of
this honest use of good materials came
the early Colonial architectural de-
signs which are today the subject of
deep study by architects because of
their fidelity to classic grace, combined
with a certain freedom of interpreted
ton.
One splendid example of this digni-
fled spirit of home building is that of
Upsala house, Germantown, Pa. The
home, erected in 1893, has been in the
continuous possession of the family
since its building and stands today
in as sound condition as when it was
first constructed.
The builders of Upsala house spared
no pains to make it of permanent con-
struction. Its stone walls are pro-
tected by copper cutters and rain
pipes.

Small Jobs of Concrete
Work on Average Farm

For small jobs of concrete work on
the farm mixture commonly known
as One-two-three Is most desirable.
This means one bag of cement. two
cubic feet of clean sand and three
cubic feet of coarse gravel or broken
stone. If you use mixture entirely
of sand and cement you will not OBJ
tain the full strength that you get
if the gravel is added. In using gravel
or sand from some nearby creek bed
be careful that there is no mud mixed
in with them. A very small amount
of mud will destroy the strength of
the concrete.
