The straight line

The geOmetrcaI axiom that the straight line
is the shortest distance between two points is
equally true of advertising. Advertising offers
the shortest route between seller and buyer.
Reading advertisements saves time By read
ing the advertisements in your daily newspaper
you learn of the things you want and need; you
learn where they are for sale and for how much
The advertisements enable you to weigh and
choose even before you lay down your paper
advertisements are money savers because
they enable you to secure better quality for the
money you invest. They enable your dollar to
purchase its full value in merchandise. Adyer-
tsements will keep you posted on every develop
ment that affects you, your wife and children
your home and your business.

sDairymen Purchase Calves

Several Dairymen of the coun-
ty are purchasing calves from
Western Washington and Western
Oregon, with the idea of building
up high producers in their herds.
They have come to feel that the
only COW that should be MIXED
on the farm is one that will
produce the maximum amount of
milk possible with good breeding
and feeding and the care they
can give cows under our condi-
tions. w. B. Paulson of Kennewick
recently received from a farmer
in Tillamook, three grade calves
from dams with the following pro-
auctions. One cow had produced
in 1927, 5S7 lbs fat and MIXED as
high as IS lbs with 4.3 test. The
second COW had produced 526 lbs.
fat and MIXED as high as 20 lbs.
with a Al test. The third COW
a two year old heifer had poduced
373 lbs. fat. Arni Hansen of Han
ford secured a calf from the same
farmer from dam having produc-
ed SIG lbs. fat.

SCHEDULE OF THINNING
DEMONSTRATION

M. ID. Armstrong, extension
specialist in horticulture will be
in the county May 20. 80 and 31st.,
for a series of thinning demon
stration meetings. The proper
thinning of a crop is one Of the
important items in the produe-
ton OF a good marketable crop
and also effects the worm control
problem. While we have not fol-
lowed Mr.. Armstrong in one these
thinning demonstration meeting.
we feel that if growers can get
even half as much good from a
thinning demonstration as it will
be worth the time given for every
grower. who will have thinning
work to do to attend one of these
meetings. We, like many growers,
are apt to wonder sometimes
if anything new can be brought
out at these meetings. We feel
however that every grower i'm at
Tendance at both the pruning and
spray demonstrations went away
from those meetings with at least
two or three suggestions that
were very much worth while. We
would like particularly to urge
growers to attend these thinning
demonstrations as we know from
orchards visited last fall, that
thre is considerable difference in
the way in which thinning is done
in a great many orchards. INA
The following is the schedule
for these meetings. Please check
the nearest you and give an hour
or so to getting new ideas or re-
neWing any impressions on this
work.

HAN ground squirrel was very
Drsvaient and did immense
spmounts of damage that the pre-
valence of the sage rat in this
county makes more of an impress
sim upon us than it does upon the
average grower, but we believe
that a careful check upon many
nlaees in the county would show
That the sage rats are doing con-
siderable damage. Our personal
feeling is that we would not toll
crate so many of the pests when
thew may be gotten rid of with
800 to $500 worth of poison
grain.

These calves were all fairly
marked and are from pure bred
sires and are the result of years
of breeding on the farm. Calves
from a stock such as this should
produce well above the average
and should be good investment
if properly raised. Nearly all of
these calves are being raised on
milk and grain.
While the time is about over
for this year when we can secure
calves of this kind we believe that
farmers can well afford to look
into stock of this breeding and be
building up herds of high produc-
ing cows at such time as when
the margin on dairy production
will be less than they are at the
present time. Any one interested
in these calves will be given in
formation if they call upon the
county agent.

swEET CLOVER PASTURE

The Glimcliff Farm of S. E.
Cbaffee between Prosser and Ben
ton City has 80 acres of sweet
clover pasture ,on which they are
pasturing of the present time 85
head of milking cows. The pas
ture is divided into two fields, the
cattle being run first on one as
until such time as they have pas
tured it down fairly well and then
turned into the other half. c.. S.
Judkins who is superintendent of
the farm, reports that they are
getting very good results from
the pasture and at the present
time are feeding no grain. While
it is probable that higher pro-
duction would be maintained and
better production for another year
If sufficient grain was fed to the
high producing cows to keep them
in good condition, yet this pasture
is giving them splendid returns.
Mr.. Chaffee writes, at is sur
prising the amount of pasture that
one acre will produce in conpar-
ison with blue grass and mixed
pasture presses and the same time
It is building up the land. The re-
suits obtained from both pasture
and soil building have been better
than ever anticipated.
The soil building problem comes
not only from the fact that sweet
clover adds nitrates to the soil
but more largely to the addition
Of humus to the soil through the
decaying of the large root system
OF the sweet clover plant. Il APP
pears to use that good rotation
On dairy farms in this county
would be, one year of corn fol-
lowed by two years sweet clover
end this by four years of alfalfa
We believe, however, that some
cash crops should be gown on
every farm because of the cart
ness OF our section and its big
advantage to us. One half of the
acreage devoted to alfalfa in one
years seeding. should probably be

oeIrles, asparagus, cherries, early
potatoes or any other which pro-
,nises to bring returns. This would

upon the farm, but feel sure that
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1928-05-24

crop rotation must be followed
and that sweet clover has a very
important place in this crop ro-
tation and that along with it some
commercial fertilize will be added
to eplenish potash and phosphates.
A 20 acre farm under such a ro-
tation should maintain at least Is
cows and have very little feed
to buy.
