RABBIT SITUATION

Since the Black Tailed rabbits
crossed the Columbia River on the
Ice jam several years ago. they
have been multiplying rapidly an6
have either crossed with the White
Tails, or almost entirely crowded
out the White Tailed Rabbit. One
thing is certain that the number
of rabbits this year, and practical.
ly all of them are Black Tails
shows a general increase over the
number present last season. Com
plants have come to the County
Agent from two communities in
regard to the large number and
the damage caused by them and the
methods of control recommended
j Mast weeks paper have been
in last weeks paper have been
munities.
In talking the matter of rabbit
control over with growers, we find
general sentiment that the prob
lem is going to be an acute one
this next winter and we believe
it would he wise to begin to take
precautions and use control meas
ures at this season of the year,
if any time is at all available TO
this work. Either one of the poi
sons recommended in the articles
of last week should be good since
they were tried out in actual field
practice. by Leo Couch, leader of
Rodent Control work for the state.
1t seems to us that the salt bait
could be used to very good adj
vantage in alfalfa fields, sticking
the blocks with laths or some
stake large enough that the blocks
could be easily located when the
time comes to remove them just
previous to cutting the crop. The
green alfalfa bait should be used
in sage brush, 100 and 200 yards
from the field line so as to get
The rabbits before they get to the
fields. In talking with some farm
ers whom we had recommended
this treatment to, we found that
they were using practically the
sage rat bait, and while this may
give fairly good results, we doubt
very much whether it will give
he results of either one of the
,ther bats.
The county agent would be glad
20 cooperate with any one in a |
rial Of these bats should they
wish to try them out.

there are cherry sections now
planted where two crops out OF
three or two crops out of four, is
all that one can reasonably ex-
pect, then it might seem well for
that acreage to be planted, and
the economic loss would assure
that man of an income when the
other men in less favorable areas
would not have a fair income.
While it seems hard to consider
that man with matured cherry
orchard may have to quit some
time in the future, yet just natural
conditions will bring this about if
the orchards are not planted under
as favorable conditions as new or
chards may be planted under.
Returns have been large on some
of their cherry orchards this year,
but the other side of the question
must always be looked at and if
one were to study the cost items
in the production of that large in
come bearing crop. one will often
find that the income over period
of years has not been anything
phenomenal, and we believe that
especially should now growers con-
slider these items before any ap-
preciable increase be made in the
planting of cherry acreages.

CHERRY ACREAGE

The good returns from cherry
orchards this year has raised the
question in the minds of many peo-
pie as to the advisability of plant
ING cherries. To advise on this
question, from a personal stand
point. is apt to be questionable,
but we believe that from the stand
point of recommendations of grow
ers. that this question should be
carefully considered by new grow
ers or growers intending to in
crease their acreage.
In the tree fruit conference,
held at Yakima this year, a care
ful study was made of the cherry
acreares planted in the last few
wears and not old enough to bear.
After careful study of this, the
growers presented recommended

FERTILIZATION OF EARLY
POTATOES

The question of suitable ferti-
lizer for early potatoes has been
worked out by quite few of the
growers to their own satisfaction
in normal years. This past year,
however. due to abnormal growing
conditions, some of our best pota-
to growers have secured rather
poor results. The county agent
and horticultural Inspector check
ed UP on two fortified rows and
two unfertilized rows in potato
fields. recently, and found that the
fortified rows produced approx
mately the same amount of No. /
as the unfertilized and had pro-
duced approximately twice as much
of a total crop as had the infer
tilted. The large number of po
tatoes which were necessary to
throw into the culls and No. 2
were due to the exceptionally large
growth cracks and many of these
potatoes upon cutting showed that
they had large prevalence of
hollow heart.
The unfertilized potatoes were
smooth and on the whole a nicer
lot than the u. S. No. 1 from the
fortified rows. This check was
made however, probably a few
days after the best digging for
the fortified potatoes. In talking
this over with Mr.. Perry, horti-
cultural Inspector, he informed me
that last year. the results were
decidedly in favor of the fortified
potatoes, in that these could be
dug week or ten days earlier
than the unfertilized. Undoubted-
", the fortified potatoes this
year could have been dug a few
days ahead of the unfertilized
stuff. The growth cracks and hol-
low heart problem, however, was
certainly serious one in some po-
tatoes this year and leads to the
question of need Of careful study
of fertilization.

BOB WHITE AND FARMER
ARE MUTUALLY FRIENDY

The bob white has always been
a favorate throughout the United
States, both for sport and because
of the CHEEKY call of the male,
which has enGvened those who
have had opportunity to listen to
it.
As Americans went west and got
beyond the regular range of the
bob white there were efforts to
transplant it to the newer regions.
The farmer Is good friend of the
bobwhite, for cultivated fields are
more favorable than virgin ter
ritory for the bird.
In a recent pamphlet issued
by the United States department
of agriculture, the author says
that in trying to estimate how
much the introduction of bob
whites into western Kansas and
Colorado has had to do with their
spread westward, one meets with
difficulties. It seems to be rather
commonly supposed that there
were no birds west Of central
Kansas before agriculture began.
There is no doubt that they in
creased rapidly in numbers all ov-
er western Kansas, as well as
eastern and southeastern Color
ado, as soon as farming operat-
tions commenced.
In Kansas the most interesting
feature of the history of the bob
white" says this author, s1is the
rapid increase in numbers after
the eighties west of the hundredth
meridian. This wonderful in
crease went hand in hand with the
increase in pinnated grouse, or
prairie chickens. It seems more
plausible, however, to suppose
that a few birds did really exist
in favorable spots all over wes-
tern Kansas, enough to make rap
id response as soon as food be-
came plentiful. 1t must be remem-
bered that in this region for many
years after the advent of man,
small game was scarcely shot at
all, which gave the game birds
unusual opportunities to spread"

PEACHES NEAR VETCH MAY
BE ATTACKED BY CORN-EAR

Green peaches may be attacked
by the corn-ear worm if 1T has
been feeding on vetch near by,
and the vetch is not turned under
early enough. The corn-ear worm
occurs throughout the South and
is primarily pest of corn, TOM
atoes, tobacco, cotton and legumes.
On each vetch and other legumes
it. feeds in colonies, and when
these crops are not turned under
early enough, are left for seed,
or are cut late, the worms assume
the army-worm habit and move in
"armies" ito adjacent peach or
ichards or fields of other crops. Be-
cause of this habit corn-ear worms
are sometimes confused with
army worms.
The Bureau Of Entomology of the
United States department of agri-
culture noted that in 1926 corn-ear
worms did considerable damage to
peaches and other crops in Geor-
gia, Alabama, and South Caro-
lima. Considerable vetch was
grown in the south that year, and
peach orchards adjoining fields in
which vetch was not turned under
soon enough or was allowed to
go oseed were materially damag-
ed by the worms devouring the
green peaches as they marched
across them. This occurred from
the middle of May to the first
part of June. In one orchard in
southern Georgia the corn-ear
worms practically destroyed the
crop of peaches on 1000 young
trees. Vetch had been planted be-
tween the tree rows and the grow
er had failed to turn it under at
the right time. In another case the
worms attacked a peach orchard
from hay from a nearby barn,
where they Matched after the hay
was cut and stored.
Control measures consist in con-
structing a deep furrow around
the orchard or in the path of adj
vance of the worms when they
are seen to- start as an "army."

but they must not be placed in

FRESH ALFALFA FORMULA
Mix OF st.rvchnine alkalnid

FRESH ALFALFA FORMULA
Mix 1 or. strychnine alkaloid
powdered with one-eighth OF.
{ one teaspoonful) sacchrine. Pre-
pare "a 8 quart solution consist
ing of 1 part Karo corn syrup and
|2 parts water. Add the poison
mixture to this solution and mix
thoroughly in a IL quart pail. Cut
about 20 pounds of fresh alfalfa
tops. Take a few handfuls of the
alfalfa at time and dip in the
poison solution, stir around and
squeeze out the surplus moisture.
Sack the poisoned alalfa as fast
as possible. Drop small handfuls
along rabbit trails and near plac-
es where the rabbits are feeding.
This bait is effective for two
nights being practically harmless
after that time. 1t is advisable to
prepare the poison around a p. M,
in order that the alfalfa will be in
the freshest state at the time the
animals are feeding.
CAUTION: Keep all poison ma
terials and utensils plainly label
ed and out Of reach of children,
irresponsible persons, and live
stock.

pared by Leo K. Couch, leader of

ty will be glad to cooperate with
any one sending in a call for spec
fal help in relation to control of
rabbits during the summer
months.
