ENTERPRISE CONFERENCES
TO BE HELD

Enterprise conferences on fruit
truck crops and poultry enterpris-
es are being planned for the early
part of December. These meetings
will be different than anything
held in the county previously and
are in line with meetings being
held Or having been held, in many
other sections of the West at this
time, or in the past. The general
idea on the plan of the meeting,
is first the presentation of facts
to general community meeting,
for one particular enterprise, such
as dairy. After the facts have been
thoroughly presented, and farmers
have had chance to study them,
the farmers then discuss these
facts in relation to their own farm
operations and the community and
make their accommodations as to
what should be attempted in the
community in the way of farm and
community improvements in the
enterprise. These recommends
tions then become the program for
the community for whatever per-
iod of years the community feels
necessary to complete this pro-
gram. Other meetings may be held
from time to time to aid this pro-
gram.
The place Of extension work in
the carrying out of this program
then, is very definitely outlined.
and meetings which are held by
specialists, following this general
meeting will be held with the def
finite purpose in mind of carrying
out the program outlined by the
farmers for Improvement of. the
enterprises in the community.
General plan for these meetings
is to hold one meeting on dairy,
one on poultry, and a combined
meeting on tree fruits and truck
crops. in each Of the three main
sections of the county, thus, one
at Kennewick, which will include
the territory from Richland to.
Hover. One at Prosser, to include
the territory from the county line
to Benton City, inclusive, and an
other at White Bluffs and Han
ford to include all of the terri
tory in the north end of the
county.
This type of meeting should do
two things. It gives the farmer q
better chance to get the facts and
figures on the various enterprises
to he teaching him to make his
decisions as to just which enter
prise to carry and what problems
to attempt to straighten out, it
also brings about greater cooper
alton between farmers of the COM
munity so that an instructive pro-
gram for the Improvement of the
agriculture of the community can
be worked out.

MAN REPORT RABBIT
INJIJRY

From nearly every section OF
the county, reports are coming In
to the county agents office, of
serious rabbit injury. Various a.
tempts are being made to control
the pest and on the Grosscup
ranch recently, it was reported
that six men lby driving had kill
led 400 in one day. A larger crew
in driving, had killed about 1900
on the same ranch. Wherever
farmers are quite generally sur
rounded by sage brush or by a
wide stretch along one side, rab-
bits have done much damage.
Mr.. Nishalaus, of Richland, in
checking up on the benefits of rab-
hit poison there, reports that he
feels sure that total of 800 rab-
bits were killed by the poison OPP
erations. This includes the use OF
/ OF. of strychnine in the syrup
mixture with alfalfa, these bats
were lift for final consumption.
In addition to this, approximately
1 or. strychnine was mixed with
salt and this distributed in Il
blocks, these allowed to remain
for one day only, after which, all
but one block were taken up. The
total bait and other material US
ed, would not have exceeded $1.00
cost, which with Mr.. Nichalaus'
estimate Of 300 killed, would mean
but 1-3 cents piece, outside OF
the labor cost of distributing and
mixing the poison, for each rab-
bit killed. One decided advantage
of the poison, is that it is work
ing while the owner is about 9th
er work, and it requires a small
amout of time to prepare bats
and distribute them. Formulas
and poison are available at the
county agents office.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1928-08-16
USE CAUTION IN POISONING
RABBITS

A number Of farmers have re-
ported to the county agents Of
flee the use of the salt and strych-
nine formula, recommended by Mr..
Couch, but on checking with them,
we found that they are not using
what we would consider due eau
ton in methods of distributing the
poison. Mr.. COUGHS recommended
ton was that the salt and strych-
nine when used should be put in
inch holes bored in the flat side
Of short 2x4 blocks. Farmers have
reported using the poison by put
ting it out on rocks, small bin pans
etc. It is the opinion that much of
this strychnine and salt may reach
the ground in fairly concentrated
form, and the sheep pasturing
over these areas later, may be
poisoned by this salt, due to the
fact that our rainfall is so light,
that the salt would not be washed
away. If the blocks Recommend
ed by Mr.. Couch, are used, and es-
pecially if small hole is bored
through them and a spike used,
and spiked to the ground so that
| it can not be kicked up by rab-
| bit in a strychnine spasm, there IS
practically no danger to other
classes of livestock by the use OF
this poison formula. If we were
sheep men, and knew that strycn-
nine and salt had been used in that
area we would consider very care
| fully running sheep over an area
unless this formula had been used
with every precaution to see that
| it is not going to be spilled onto
the ground. The same thing would
apply to livestock on the farm.
After a late experience, we
would recommend that the inch
holes in the 2x4 blocks be mace
not over u inch deep and that the
inch diameter be adheared TO. a
A0nenny spike put through hole
made with a drill little larger SO
that the spike can be sasiiy re-
moved when the block is taken up
will save any danger of the salt
and strychnine mixture being spill
lied onto the ground.
