GRAIN AND FORAGE
CROP EXHIBITS

Grain and forage crop exhibits
for the local fair should be receiv-
ing attention by the growers who
expect to exhibit this fall. 1t is
hoped that number Of these ex-
hibits will be shown at the Kenne-
wick Fair in September. Last year
while there were several exhibits
of the thrashed grain, none of the
exhibitors had prepared the sheaf
exhibits which should always ac-
company the thrashed grain. These
sheaf exhibits should be selected
and prepared carefully and # one
will give just small amount OF
time to the work, they may have
very creditable looking exhibits.
Sheaf exhibits should be prepared
by cutting the grain close to the
ground or pulling up the entire
plant, tying into loose bundle and
hung with the head down in some
well-ventilated and dark place. Aft
er hanging for a few days, the
leaves should be stripped from the
straw and the material bundled in
to compact bundle with three
bands or strings tied around the
bundle and again hung in a wei
ventilated and dark place with the
heads down until thoroughly dry
If bundle exhibits are prepared il
this way, when turned upright, the
heads will remain erect and exhib
it will look very well.
Forage crop exhibits should b
prepared in the same way excep
that just as much leaf surface a
possible should be left on the stem

as the grains. Forage crops, sucl

importance that these forage crop

HOG PRICES STILL
MOVE IN CYCLES

Records have been compiled by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture covering the prices OF
hogs for the last 80 years.
Throughout this period hog
prices have continually changed.
The tendency has been to reach a
high point every three to five years
and then to swing down for year
or two, and finally to swing up to
another high point. These price
fluctuations have been just as
marked during the last few years
as formerly, says the department.
It is evident that the forces tend
ing to produce the familiar hog
cycle are still in operation.
Generally, the high point in the
cycle corresponds with low point
in production, and vice versa. The
ratio between the price of corn and
the price of hogs has much to do
as every farmer knows, with the
changes in hog production. Change
IN this ratio affects the relative
profitableness of hog production
and causes changes in production
which influence hog receipts at th'
markets year or two later. Thi
was regularly observed before TIL
war and the same tendency ha
been in evidence since.

Sodium chlorate and calcium

feet. For applying the spray on
small patches Of weeds, the Darael
pump gives a very good results
but power sprayers are recon-
mended where the area covered by
the weed is considerable in extent.
Tn some communities in eastern
Washington, farmers have gone
in together to buy one OF these
power sprayers.
According to o. c. Lee, extern
sion specialist in weed control, one

due to the fact that the morning

A QUESTIONABLE was recently
sent out to all those with whom
we have been able to get in touch
with or have been advised have
some of these weed pests. We are
anxious to have replies to these
missionaries as soon as possible
and at the same time, have farmers
who have not received question

may have in the way of weed

on quack grass this year and while
we are not just sure what may b.
done by way of control, we intend
to follow up the work on this par

WEED CONTROL PROGRAM
TO BE STARTED AUGUST

A definite program for the clean
up of perennial root stock weeds
of the county will be started about
August 1. This will include morn
ing glory, Canada thistle, sand bur
"a new weed with broad leaf, a
flower like the potato and fruit
like a tomato and covered with
spines like the Chinese lettuce)
and Siberian mustard. Orders are
now being pooled for calcium
chlorate to take care of the con-
troll for the various farmers. Price
of the calcium chlorate will not be
very much more than ID cents per
pound. The calcium chlorate has
proven to be as effective as the So
dunn chlorate for control and does
not offer the fire hazard that the
sodium chlorate.
The program will be the schedul-
ing of a demonstration in each of
the communities at which time the
control of the particular weed will
be discussed with farmers present
and methods of using the chemical
demonstrated. At this time, we
hope to have growing plants Of
these leading perennial weeds at
the demonstration so that farmers
may be able to check up on weeds
which they may have on their own
place. We recently visited a farm
er in the county and after talking
to him about various weeds and
describing Canada thistle to him
he asked the agent to visit a field
where he had a thistle growing
! Upon examination, this was foune
o be Canada thistle and had spreai
in the last two or three years ovel
two acres of ground. Control a
this time should be comparativel,
simple since the weed has not com
pletely covered the ground as yet
| We believe that by making it pos
sible for the farmer to see tn
weeds and thus check their sprea,
before they become a serious men
ace.
Following the demonstration
there will be the program to folio,

have the proper equipment to TAX

which they have on their property
We are anxious to start contrc
measures on every patch of peren
nial weed of this nature in til
county this year. All of the weed
mentioned above, spread SO rapid

that there is grave danger tbs

AVOID TOO MUCH STARCHY
FOOD

The food on the average table IS
composed of three-fourths starch ana
sugar. while the other onc-fourth Is
composed Of proteins and greens.
It would be a better proportion II
the n-starchy vegetables. both in
the cooked and raw form. comprised
over three fourths Of the quantity OF
food used during the day, with only
d small amount Of protein and little
If any search and sugar.
We have ialleii into the habit Of
using many starchy foods. mostly be-
cause they can be made into tasty
dishes, and not because of their food
value. They also fill up we'll and
their cost is less than that OF the vital
proteins and green's. It Is also pos.
sible to have a variety OF starchy-
foods stored away on the pantry
shelves, as these foods keep well over
q long period Of time.
There is another reason commonly
given for their use. and that Is. they
are needed to supply heat and energy.
This assumption. I consider to be
m~anifestly untrue!
Man Is at the same time q carni-
vorous, frugivorouS and ~herbivorous
animal. and can live for long periods
Of time On any Of these classes Of
foods, namely, meats. fruits or herbs.
The fact that one can exist for
years on meat exclusively is conclu-
sive evidence that starch and sugar
is not necessary to the body. The
tiger has plenty of energy and main-
tains a normal bodily warmth on
flesh food entirely. Man can do the
same, II this Is necessary. without any
appreciable loss Of energy or heat.
After years Of study Of the food
problems. ! am convinced that the
one office of food In the body is to
supply tissue waste and to build up
new tissue, and that heat and energy
are inherent In the body. and in no
way depend upon food for their MAIN
tenance. I am cognizant Of the fact
that this is contrary to accepted the
cries Of physiology.
