Is Bright Outlook for. Dairy
Industry

That the outlook for dairying in
| Washington is very favorable is
the opinion of R. N. Turner. At
present there is shortage of
about 22.9 percent of dairy pro-
ducts to meet consumption needs
! of the eleven western states.
This shortage is largely in Cali
fornia which falls short about %
percent of having enough for its
own demands. Washington dairy
men are also supplying the Cali
fornia market with their surplus
milk cows, where few heifers are
being raised in fluid milk districts.
This is favorable situation for
those sections Of the state which
have lower costs.
The fact that the consumption
of total dairy products has risen
rapidly during the past few years
is also favorable. 1t rose from 80
gallons per capital in 1917 to 1T
gallons in 1926. Fluid milk con-
sumption alone was 55.3 gallons
per person in 1926.
There was a general decrease
of about five percent in the number
of cows kept for milk in the U. S..
in 1926. 1t will take considerable
time to catch up on this decrease.
This decrease is coupled with
probable increase in per capita
consumption of milk, and a gain
of one and one-haf million people
in the u. S. each year.
Imports of butter have been low
during the last two years, as the
difference between the price of
butter in Europe and New York
did not justify the importation of
much butter over the IL cent tariff
wall. The price of butter can get
only about SO high, however, until
either butter is imported or many
consumers turn to substitutes. Con-
Hsequently dairymen must look for
increased profits in lowered cost
of production.

New Moth Eradicator is Safe
and Certain

At the eleventh exposition of
chemical industries held recently
in New York the u. S, Dept. of
Ag. exhibit includes the first pub
lie display of an improved fumi-
giant discovered by two scientists
of the department. The fumigant
is effective with moths and other
pests of stored products, and has
the advantage of being nonburn-
able. nonexplosive. noninjurious to
fabrics or to metals, and the addi-
tional property of being nondan-
gerous to human life. 1t is also
comparatively inexpensive.
r. T. Cotton of the bureau of
entomology, and r. C. Roark of
the bureau of chemistry and soils,
are credited with the discovery
that a combination of three parts
by volume of ethylene dichloride
and one part by volume. of carbon
tetrachloride make an effective
fumigant. The mixture is about
five times as poisonous to the
pests as carbon tetrachloride a.
lone. In June ethylene dichloride
was selling at IL cents pound
and the carbon tetrachloride some
what cheaper. The cost of gal
lon of fumigant should not be
much more than one dollar.
In using the fumigant the ma
terials to be treated should be
placed in alright containers. such
as trunks or carefully made cases
or closets. The fumigant is left in
an open tray or shallow dish be-
fore the fumigating chamber is
closed. The vapor is heavier than
air so the liquid should be placed
above the material to allow the
fumes to settle through it. The
container should remain closed for
at least day.
The mixture does not corrode
metals or stain fabrics. When vap-
orized in fumigating chambers it
may be applied to rugs. carpets,
linens, mohair, clothing and uphol-
stery. without damage. Unless
breathed in high concentration for
a long time it has no harmful re-
suits to human beings.

Size of Flock Important in
Farm Poultry Raising

In poultry raising on the farm
it may be poor management to
raise a hit-and-miss number of
fowls, such a number, of instance,
as may happen to hatch from hid
den nests. Poultry experts of the
U. S. Dept. of Ag. suggest that
farmers who are unable to keep
approximately 200 hens limit their
flocks to size only large enough
to supply the table with eggs, and
poultry meat throughout the year.
In this way the gain is largely a
by-product and the chickens will
pick up much of their food from
material that would be wasted.
When a flock numbers more
than enough for the home supply
of eggs and meat, and is not as
large as 200. it is likely to demand
more attention and more feed than
the returns warrant; that is. it
will most likelv not return enough
profits to pay for the management
and attention necessary to care
for it.
But if poultry is maintained
with an eye to profits it is worth
managing. A flock of 200 can be
divided into two units for breed
ing purposes, 80 yearlings for pro-
duction Of breeding eggs and $50
pullets for market egg production.
Similarly a flock OF, 400 would di-
vide into 100 yearlings and two
flocks of $50 pullets. Pullets are
preferable for egg production, and
the keeping of flocks of about
three times as many pullets as
yearlings allows the poultry raiser
to Gull wisely and retain only the
best of the pullets for breeding.

Autumn is the Time to Kill Ro-
dents that Injure Bulbs

Autumn IS the lime to Kill RO.
dents that Injure Bulbs
Autumn is the to protect bulb
paintings from destruction by mice
moles and pocket gophers. It is in
the spring that complaints arise
over damage done by these bur-
rowing animals and this damage
is best prevented in fall, the sea-
son when tulips and lilies are COM
monty planted. At this time of
year the moles, mice, and pocket
gophers are settling themselves
for the winter. storing food, and
creating underground passageways
to their food, supplies. Moles do
not injure bulbs, except by tearing
them with their feet. But there is
working partnership between
moles and rodents, particularly
meadow mice, under which the
mice use the mole tunnels.
Pocket gophers, in particular,
are active in early autumn, gath
ering much more food than they
can eat and storing it convenient
to their burrows, and in chambers
excavated at the sides of their
tunnels.
For both mice and pocket goph-
ers. poison is the best method of
eradication. A good poison for
pocket gophers is green clover
leaves picked when free from dew
or rain and powdered with strych-
nine alkaloid at the rate of one
ounce of powder to ten pounds of
the leaves. Biologists of the u. S.
department. of agriculture say
that the clover should be placed
directly in an uncovered runway,
which is then, carefully plugged to
prevent dirt getting on the leaves
and then recovered with earth to
darken the tunnel. Clover leaves
are better than poisoned root bats
because they are more readily eat
en-, for the gophers are likely to
store the roots.
Mice may be poisoned with
whole wheat mixed with a strych-
nine starch paste dropped into the
little holes made by the rodents,
or placed under boxes or in tin
cans, or in the mole runways the
mice are using.
AS yet no reliable mole poison
| ing method has been developed,
because these animals, unlike the
rodents. live chiefly on living prey
such as worms and insects. Trap
ping with choker-loop traps and
scissor-jaw traps is recommended.
Bulletins prepared by the bio
logical survey giving detailed in
structions as to the best methods
of trapping and poisoning have
been prepared and may be obtain
ed by writing to the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, Washington,
d. c.. Rodent and mole eradication
work in fall is much more certain
to save the bulbs than is work
undertaken when the damage be-
comes apparent. The bulbs that
are damaged by animal pests in
fail to grow the next spring.

was sired by gold medal sire. This
gives Mr.. Runa some excellent
breeding and will increase the pro-
duction of his herd when heifers
from this sire come into produc-
ton.
In getting about the county we
find that there are a number of
good herd sires and some excellent
foundation stock on the female
side. We hope to, be able to assist
farmers in the exchange of good
herd sires, as the tested sire is
the one which should be kept. Too
often the farmers are too anxious
to buy young sires even tho sires
from four to five years of age of
equally good breeding are avail
able. Sires of this age should be
properly taken care of by provid-
ing good paddock for them and
giving them some opportunity of
getting exercise. Young herd sires
should be properly fed so that they
may develop into individuals of
good size and conformation.
