American Navy Thought Rather Lax In Not Making More Visits To
 South America

Buenos Aires, Oct. 6. R-With the arrival in the River Plate of the British warship Capetown, the white ensign of the British navy has appeared in the harbor of Bue- nos Aires five times in less tan four months.
 Meanwhile, no United States warship of any class has visited the east coast of South America this year and the next appearance of the American flag OH this conti- nent will be in April. 1929. when the Pacific fleet plans to come down the west coast as far as Val- paraiso.
 Citizens of the United States re- siding here believe that their coun- try might take a leaf from the Brit ish naval book. Frequent visits of single craft or small squadrons are considered more beneficial to the cause of friendship than rare visits by the fleet.
 When British warships are in port they are usually thrown open to the public.

GERMANY HEARS !. $.
 PRODUCES HOST VINE
Amazed at NcwS That America
 Grows Teo Times e Many

Berlin, Oct. (. @eGermany has been amazed by the news that pro- hibitlonist America grows ten times as many grapes as Germany and that Kalamazoo wine of 1920 has excellent quality.
 Counselor pr. ]. Diel of Berlin. writing from Washington to, the Deutxche Tageszeitung. tells Ger man readers that the United States is producing possibly 55.000.000 gall Ions of wine annually. or 10000. 900 gallons more than in pre- prohibit ton times.
 Dr. Diel says that America justi- fies more than ever the name of 'vinland. given to the eastern coast by Left Ericsson and his band of Icelandic explorers. as in spite of tho Volstead Act, 1t has more than doubled its acreage devoted to the culture of the vine dnce 1920.
 Delving into history. Dr. Diel re- calls that it was Nicholas Long, worth, grandfather of congressman Nicholas Longworth, who headed the noble band of German vntners from the Mosel region and became known as the Father of American Grape Culture"

SH0HIFTER ADDS
 ID STORE COSTS
Managerial Headaches Result
 From Need for AlertnesS

Since time immemorial the aver age merchant has been the victim of that common disease called shop lifting. which in the course of . years time mounts up to goodly figure in the debit column. It is a condition merchants and store own- CTS cannot put q stop to despite the employment of we'll trained men to keep a sharp lookout for the pro- fessional shoplifter. They expect it to . certain degree and have grown to realize through years of experi- ence that common thlevery will be carried out no matter how strict a supervision is employed.
 Shoplifting h felt mostly in large department stores and five and ten cent stores, where articles are with in easy reach of the prospective buy CT. During rush periods, such as bargain days and Saturdays. 1t is quite impossible for salesgirl to keep a survey over the entire coun- ter, nor for a single store detective to keep . sharp lookout for shoplift- CTS. It is then that the professional shoplifter reaps her harvest, taking anything and everything that may come into her hands while no me is looking.
 An epidemic of shoplifting was noticed in . large five and ten cent store recently. For more than Two weeks the manager recorded a heavy loss of various articles and went as far as keeping strict sur veiilance of every salesgfrl, placing additional employees to keep . look out during rush periods. He had four friends who would not believe that such gross appropriation of merchandise was possible. It seem- cd highly incredible and they decid- ed to determine for themselves whether his reports were exagser- ated. The following Saturday all four went to the store and dispersed. each going to different parts of the store, and began their experiment.
 A half hour or 50 later they met at a certain spot in the store and went to the managers office. They explained to him that when they first came into the store they were satisfied from their personal convic- tions that such shoptlifting as he de- scribed within the past few weeks was impossible, and decided to test their ability. Before the manager could utter a word of explanation. the amateur "shoplifters" began to empty their pockets of goods they had appropriated from the counters during their experiment. The sight was astounding. Out came little scis- sors. nail files. jewelry, pencils and scores of other articles with aggre- gate value of &15. They paid for the merchandise and left it with the manager, firmly convinced that If amateurs could get away with 50 large q quantity. professional shop filters must reap . harvest doubly as large in their prowlings around the store.
 There is a remedy for this. how ever. The manager, his assistants and salesgirls are we'll acquainted with their clientele and know who buys and who comes into the store with i'll intent. There are cases of the professional shoplifter going the limit and having the freedom of the store until he is about to leave. Then someone of the personnel cheeks his final move and he is first put lon the carpet" before the manager and finally turned over to the proper authorities.

DAIRY CONDITIONS

The dairy situation in this
country as well as in the world,
has been rather upset by back
ward spring in this country and
serious drouths in New Zealand
and Australia. The lateness of
the season here has brought about
a condition where we have the
time for tnto-storage movement
of butter. almost upon us and yet
we have not had the usual spring
decline to the point where it has
usually gone. With this situation
it is pointed out by the Depart
ment that it is difficult to esti-
mate just what the future may be
for the rairy enterprise. Australia
has had a general Improvement
of weather conditions which has
offset quite a little of the previ-
Gus conditions but conditions in
New Zealand are still rather I'M
favorable. On the whole, it looks
as though the dairy situation will
continue good throughout the
year.

POTATO SEED TREATMENT
AND CERTIFIED SEED

The attention of the county ag-
emit was called by several farmers
around Prosser to the presence
of rhizoctonia in fields of late po-
tatoes. In discussing the matter
with these men in developed that
there was a general lack of in
formation in regard to fundament-
ais in potato diseases and the use
of certified seed. Because of the
fact that number Of farmers un-
doubtedly are going to want in
formation at this time as to the
cause of poor top growth and poor
stands, we thought it advisable
to run an article at this time.
For seed treatment use corros-
i've sublimate or the hot formal
dehyde, and these are the two
best treatments, for control of
diseases such as rhizoctonia. scaD,
and black leg. Seed certification
is the field selection of seed by
the wedding out of hills which
show diseas conditions apparent
only in the tops and which are
known as the running out dis
eases" No seed treatment so far,
as is known is effective in any
sense in the control of these last
diseases but the removal of these

able to realize considerable more
from it.
A careful check was made by
the county agent of the grades of
eggs and its effect upon the re-
turns to the producers for 80
poultrymen shipping through a
cooperative poultry association in
Pacific county There was a diff
ference of Az cents per dozen
for all eggs produced. between the
best and poorest produced in that
association. IL one will just stop
to figure what this means on a
years business, one can see that
it pays to give attention to quality
of production. This would amount
to $1.35 per case. For a flock of
$50 hens with an everage produc-
ton of so per cent, would mean
an increase of SLIP per day. I'm
der Pacific county conditions this
difference was not due to just the
grade of egg due to poor quality,
but also to the size and quality
of the egg laid. We believe how
eyer that under our conditions we
might find as high difference as
the above figure in favor or the
person who took care of their eggs
in the proper manner. Check your
situation and see if you can in
crease in income by some little
change in your method of handl-
ing.

SUMMER RABBIT POISONING

Since the ice-jam llcross the
Columbia river in 1920. black-tail-
ed jack rabbits have been migrat-
ing into Benton, Yakima, Klicki-
tat and Kittitas counties, until at
present there is very little sage
brush land unknown to the pests.
Along with this migration has
come conditions favorable to the
rapid increase of the rabbits.
In early June Of this year the
wheat-growing sections Of the
Horse Heaven country, where
previously they had been a pest.
Inroads on fall wheat were made
so rapidly that farmers were com
PEELED to expose poison to protect
their crops. Tests made on the
farm of Charles Williams, Is
miles southeast Of Mabton, indi-
Gated that poisoned salt and
strychnine-coated frosh alfalfa
tops were the most acceptable
bats. These tests followed meet
ing of 35 farmers which had been
called by county agent Lovett to
discuss means of handling the
problem.
1t is necessary to use care in
placing the bait. Small handfuls Of
the coated alfalfa should be drop
ped along the rabbit trails, at in
tersections. Make two lines of
bats, at least one hundred yards
apart. It is better to expose the
poisoned salt along the edges of
the damaged crop, according to
the numbers and activity of the
rabbits.
Bats should be distributed be
tween two and five o'clock, so as
to avoid disturbing the rabbits at
their feeding time, Batting should

GATHER EGGS OFTEN

The season is upon us when, il
any eggs are left in the average
poultry house for any length OF
time during the day there is go
ing to be a material loss in quail
ity. When we remember that eggs
kept under proper moisture con-
dition and at temperature of 102
or 103 we get complete incuba-
ton, it does not need a big stretch
of imagination to realize what be-
gins to take place in the egg
when they are kept at somewhere
near that temperature for 6 to z
hours. Some of our poultry houses
on certain days may get to almost
the temperature maintained in the
incubator and even at as low a
temperature as IS or 80, serious
changes are going to begin to take
place in the egg. A number of ex-
periments have. been run ON just
this situation and it has been
shown that eggs kept for even a
comparatively short period at such
a temperature will begin to lose
in quality quite rapidly.
Wherever eggs are being pur-
chased on a quality basis partic-
larly, it certainly is to the decided
advantage of the farmers to make
a special attempt to gather the
eggs about five times during the
day so as not to allow them to
remain in a warm place for a
long period of time. Eggs when
gathered, should be stored in
cool cellar and if kept on the farm
not too long time before being
sent to market, one should be

diseases by hill selection produc-
ing a quality of seed because the
average seed will have certain
amount of these last diseases in
it. Because this seed has been
selected and these latter diseases
weeded out, it does not follow
however that this same seed may
not have some Rhizoctonia, scab,
or black leg infection. All certified
seed should be treated the same
as uncertified seed in order to
control these diseases which may
be controlled by seed treatment.
In short then, one type of dis
ease is eliminated through hill
selection in the growing Of certi-
fled seed, but if one wishes to
have perfectly clean crop as is
possible, this seed should be treat
ed with corrosive sublimate or the
hot formaldehyde. Seed treatment
should always be followed and
potatoes should never be grown
on the same soil two years in sue
cession if one hopes to have reas-
onably clean and healthy pota-
toes.
This article is not prepared with
the idea of stimulating seed treat
ment in this season, but to call
attention to the troubles that some
growers are having at this time
and to try to straighten out in the
minds the need of using certi-
fled seed and then giving this
standard seed treatment.

be renewed once in four days, in
accordance with observations made
at dusk Of the number of rabbits.
The Biological survey and ex-
tension service are cooperating in
this work and are willing to hold
meetings and poison-mixing DEM
onstrations in any locality mem
aced by the rabbits. Poison sup
plies can be secured at cost from
county agents A. E. Lovett, Yaki-
ma, or E. C. Durdle, Kennewick.
Summer rabbit poisoning is for
crop projections only, and efforts
should be directed toward whole
sale community campaigns at fav-
orable periods during the winter
months.
EFFECT OF FALL IRRIGATION
Since 1924 an experiment has
been in progress at the Irrigation
Branch Experiment station at
Prosser to determine the effect, if
any, of fall irrigation on alfalfa.
Fall irrigation is generally under
stood to mean any irrigation after
the third cutting or during the lat
ter part of September and early
October. A series Of three plots
has been used for this experiment.
One has been heavily irrigated in
the fall and not irrigated in the
spring until after the first cutting.
One has not been fall irrigated
but has received early spring ir-
rigations, and one has had neither
fall nor spring irrigations. The
results of this years crop which
have just been obtained are fairly
typical Of the entire experiment.
The fall irrigated plot produced
IL tons of alfalfa per acre. The
plot which was not fall irrigated
but received early spring irriga-
ton produced 2 tons per acre,
while the plot which was neither
fall no spring irrigated produced
only n of ton per acre.
This indicates that fairly good
crop of alfalfa can be produced
the first cutting with only fall
irrigation. Hence in the early part
of the season the water can he
used for new seeding and other
crops.
The details of this and other
experiments at the Station will
be fully explained and the plots
examined on Field Day. July goth.
