Milk Ordinance
In District Court

AS a result Of the action Of the
city council of Libby in enacting an
ordinance prohibiting the sale within
the city of other than pasteurized
milk, two cases found their way into
district court the first Of the week,
both of them being in the nature of
a test case. An aftermath Of the af-
fair was the issuing Of temporary
injunction by Judge G. w. Pomeroy
restraining city officials from arrest
ing or interfering with certain plain
tiffs while selling milk in the city, the
injunction to remain in force until
such time as the milk question is fl
nally disposed of. Those petitioning
for the injunction were Mrs. Marion
Oneal, wife Of Glen Oneal, and George
Crotteau.
The two cases brought before the
court grew out of the arrest of L.
8. Hewitt and Helen Crctteau for sell
ing "raw" or unpasteurized milk in
the city after the passage of the or
dinance in question, Hewitt being en-
ployed by the Oneal dairy. The defend
ants were taken before Police Magis-
trate Haigler, found guilty and as
sessed a nominal fine Of $1.00 each,
the understanding being that they
would appeal the case TO the district
court, where it would be tried on its
merits. County Attorney Herbert was
attorney for the city and B. +. Maiden
for the defendants.
The matter was taken before the
district court on an agreed statement
Of facts, l. e., that the defendants ad-
mitted violation of the ordinance, but
the contention was made that the
city had no legal authority to enact
such an ordinance. This question OF
the legality of the ordinance was
argued by the attorneys before Judge
Pomeroy Monday who took the mat
ter under advisement and ordered the
attorneys to submit briefs.
Later Judge Pomeroy issued the
temporary injunction as stated here
with. The result is that the plaintiffs
will be enabled to proceed with the
sale Of raw milk until the matter is
finally passed upon by the court. The
plaintiffs in the injunction matter
filed az bond Of 5000 to cover costs, etc

SOIL SPECIALISTS VISIT
DEMONSTRATION PLOTS

Mr.. E. Shaw of the Chilean Nj
trate Corp, Professor Vandecuvey,
and Professor n. H. Holtz of the
soils department at the State Col
lege, and Mr.. Baker, student at
the college doing research work,
visited the fertilizer demonstra-
ton and test plots in the lower
part of the valley last week. They
were well satisfied with the gem
eral layout of the plots and the
location and particularly well salts
fled with the results showing up
on the Jens Lande farm which is
one of the plonts on soil which has
been farmed for some time.
The plot on the E. M. Awkward
farm at Finley, which was taken
out of the sage brush in 1927 and
seeded in 1928 seems to be show
ing no results from the fertilizer
and this has been shown by the
yields on the first and second cut
ting. The plot is informally good
this year.
The plot on the Jens Lande
farm was cleared of sage brush
in 1908 and thus had approximate
ly 81 years of cropping On this

WEED CONTROL DEMON
STRATION HELD AUGUST 8

A demonstration on the control
of perennial weeds was held at
the n. F. Speigleberg farm Fri
day, August 9. A patch of morn
ing glory was treated with the dry
calcium chlorate and another patch
of morning glory and a patch of
uuack grass treated with the spray
method of applying calcium chlor-
ate.
The problem of perennial weed
control by the use of chlorate was
discussed and the advantage OF
the calcium chlorate in that it may
be used as dust on scattered
plants of many perennial weeds,
was emphasized. Three pounds OF
the calcium chlorate is recon-
mended on irrigated areas whether
the chlorate is used dry or in solu-
ton and sprayed on. Several OF
the farmers brought other weeds
with them so that farmers were
able to identify morning glory,
ouack grass, algali weed and star
thistle. Specimen Of sand bur, Cam
ada thistle and Siberian mustard
in addition to the above weeds are
being grown in box for use at
these demonstration meetings to
be held later.
Fifteen attended this demonstra-
tion meetings and a schedule for
the use of the spray outfit was ar
ranged for those wishing to use it.
Some farmers will use the dry cal
cium chlorate where weeds are
scattered. Demonstration meetings
will be arranged as soon as pos
sible for Richland, Benton City,
Prosser, White Bluffs and Han
ford.

plot is showing up far ahead of any
other plot with the exception OF
the complete fertilizer plot. The
check plot with the strips on eitner
side of it are in marked CONTRAST
to the fortified plots on eitner
side of it on this third cutting.
During the first cutting, the cheek
plot was almost the best plot Oh
the lot. It begins to look as though
some results will be secured on
these test plote which will give US
information on which we may
base recommendations for alfalfa
fertilization.
The plot on the c. F. Fletcher
farm was also visited, but growth
here has not been sufficient to
warrant drawing any conclusions
as yet.

GULL PULLETS EARLY
TO SAVE PROFITS

Gull pullets which are not likely
to be profitable units in the laying
house this winter can be selected
and rejected at the beginning Of
the laying season, says w. o. Bu-
chanan, extension poultry special
list, simply by subjecting each bird
to physical examination. Certain
characteristics point out the poten-
tally good or poor layers and are
easily observed. After culling out
the doubtful pullets, they should
be placed in separate house where
they can be carefully fed and car
ed for for two weeks on probation.
If, at the end of that time, they
do not show the characteristics Of
good layers, they should be sold
for meat.
The following pointers have been
given by Mr.. Buchanan for culling
out Improbable pullets:
A short, narrow body-narrow
thru the region of the heart and
lungs and at the base of the tail
indicates lack of vigor and egg ca
pacity.
A bird with a shallow body, hav-
ing little depth between the back
and breast bones is likely to be
low in vitality.
A bird with comb small for the
breed, especially if the comb has
small, thin pencil-like points,
should be Disseminated against.
If the pullett has dry, hard somb
she may simply need treating for
worms, but if her body is also

LIVESTOCK is FINE
ECONOMIC ASSET

Since all agricultural land of
the state is not tillable, and the
fertility of the soil is not inex-
austible, and with markets hold
ing the large Importance they do
in the economic life of the people,
livestock on the farm forms a val
liable asset to the farmer. From
the standpoint of human food sup
plies, additional markets furnished
and soil fertility conserved, it pays
to keep livestock.
Livestock furnish foods that are
necessary to the proper nourish-
ment of the human body. Without
animal foods, the race would lose
in stature and virility.
Only about one-third of the area
of the state, or IL million acres,
is at present included in farms. Of
this, only one half is tillable. This
leaves six million acres of rough
land in farms besides large area
of public lands that are adopted
only to grazing. Without livestock
this immense area would be prac-
tically useless. Aside from this,
much of the crop grown on our till
able land is not adapted to human
consumption, requiring livestock
to concentrate these roughages in
to palatable and nutritious human
foods. When SURPRISES of cash
crops occur, livestock saves them
from being a complete loss by con-
verting them into meat, eggs or
milk
In the matter of soil fertility
conservation, livestock is of vast
importance. A ton of alfalfa hay
sold from the farm removes some
AZ pounds of nitrogen, IL pounds
of phosphoric acid, and "A pounds
of potash, while a ton Of wheat
takes away 81 pounds of nitrogen,
IL pounds of phorphorous and 10
pounds of potash. These same
crops fed to any livestock and

POCKET GOPHER CONTROL

The problem of pocket gopher
control has become alive at this
season of the year because pocket
gophers are now resuming consid
cradle activity especially in the
digging of new burrows and the
throwing up of fresh mounds.
There is a brief period now when
the use of the trap will do much
toward the control of gophers If
one can find time to give to trap
ping operations. Some growers
have found the best way to handle
the situation at this season of the
year is to pay boys so much for
each gopher trapped. Where goph-
ers are working in orchards and
there is a heavy growth of cover
crop it is very difficult to locate
mounds and, runways, and it prob
ably would be best in the near flu
ture to cut down this growth of
cover crop and weeds so as to en-
able one to locate any workings
readily.
The standard method of control
for pocket gophers during the fall
season is the use of poisoned bats
put into the burrow. Sweet pota-
toes and carrots seem to be the
two best bats and the use of them
is better than the use of one alone
as sometimes the gophers will
take one and sometimes the other.
With the use of a prod which can
be made at small cost, and which
will last for years and the use of
small amount of strychine and
saccharine which can be had thru
the county agents office, in sitter
cans and already to sprinkle over
the bats, one can poison a large
area. Mr.. Edmund Anderson of
White Bluffs, on the Hanford
ranch, went over his orchard last
year and reported very little act
witty from gophers during the past
season. Mr.. Anderson is very we'll
satisfied with the results and stat
ed that he felt it was one of the
best investments he had ever made.
In communities where the pock-
ct gophers are especially active
this fall, the county agent would
be willing to arrange for demon
STATIONS to assist in this control.

in the dairy field days, August %,
at Kennewick and Richland, 70,
at Prosser and 80 at White Bluffs,
arranged by the county herd inn
provement association and the Ex-
tension service. A number Of trips
where herds, fields and farms will
be visited and points of interest
shown, are planned for each day.
A program will be handed out at
each stop. This will save time and
give system to allow for an inter-
esting and worthwhile inspection Of
eachfarm visited. These tours this
year are something new in the ex-
tension program, but it is felt that
a great deal of good will come OF
them. The basic reason for the
field days is to lend greater en-
thusiasm and interest in the value
of herd improvement testing.
Following is a schedule OF stops
for each day of the tour and time
to be spent at each place.
