spring and again during the sum-
mer to the conducting of demon
STATIONS on weed control of these
serious weed pests. We would be
particularly interested in having
every one who has wild Morning
GLORY or Star Thistle or Canada
Thistle, as they may be acquainted
with this weed, notify this office
of the particular weed which they
have on the place and the general
extent of the area covered by 1t,
if this has not already been done.
We have on file at the office now,
slips from number of people who
have previously notified us of the
presence of these weeds on their
places. We hope to be able to es-
tablish demonstrations in each
community where these weeds are
prevalent so that no one will need
to miss an opportunity to secure
methods of control for these par
ticular weed pests. We would
therefore request that those who
have not already notified the of
flee of the presence of these weeds,
on their property, to do so in the
near future, so that we can make
plans for control measures.

WHAT ABOUT EARLY
POTATO ACREAGE?


Due to the heavy over planting
OF early potatoes last year, num-
Der of growers have asked if some
thing could not be done to check
up on intentions to plant the crop
this spring. A circular letter is be-
ing mailed from the county agents
office to as complete list of
early potato growers as we have
been able to secure, requesting in
formation on their intention to
plant this year. Those who have
not received a QUESTIONABLE and who
read this article are asked to CO.
operate in this work and drop
card to the county agent indicating
the acreage they intend to plant
this year and the variety which
will be used. AS soon as this infor-
nation is received at the county
agents office, information will be

published and sent back to growers
cooperating, indicating the local
intentions to plant. We are not
interested in names of growers,
but would like to have any one re-
porting, indicate the community in
which they live.
During the summer months, the
question of intentions to plant the
early crops was taken up with Mr..
Turner, extension agricultural ag-
ricultural statistician at Seattle.
Mr.. Denee will be able to give us
information on intentions to plant
IN the country as whole and we
hope to be able to report this in
formation in the near future for
the release in this section.
If this service is to be of any
value to growers of this section,
it must be responded to by at least
majority of the growers. We ur-
gently request your hearty cooper
alton in the reporting of this COM
modify. 1t may be that this will he
extended to other early crops.

MORNING GLORY CONTROL

The wild Morning Glory is one of
the worst weeds that we have in
the state. Along with the Morning
Glory, we have the Star Thistle,
and the Canada Thistle, which are
two weeds as Objectionable as the
Morning Glory. Through the de-
partment at the experiment sta
tion at the main station at Pull
man, quite a little experimental
work has been done on the eradi-
cation of these weeds and we feel
that we are now justified in MAX
ing the statement that these weeds
can be economically and efficiently
controlled by new methods of con-
troll, which have been demonstrate
ed there.

SPARROW POISONING

The long cold snap has been ideal
for sparrow poisoning and a num-
Der of people of the county have
availed themselves of the sparrow
bait prepared by the extension
service and available for distribu-
ton OF the county agents office
and through several drug stores in
the county. More of this poison,
however, should be used, Judging
from the number of sparrow flocks
that are still in evidence about the
county.
The sparrow is one of the worst
pests that we have, especially from
the grape growers standpoint as
well as from the standpoint of the
poultrymen and other farmers of
the county. The sparrow is COM
paratively easily poisoned during
these cold snaps and people wish
ing to get rid of them ought to do
so before the cold snap breaks as
then the sparrows will scatter
again and it will he much more diff
ficult to secure results. In batting,
not more than tablespoonful of
poisoned grain should be used in
any one place and half of this
amount is usually better. If at a
number of places poisoned grain
could be distributed early in the
morning after pre-baiting a day or
two in these places, good results
should be secured. Bats should
be, put out at points that are fire.
quented daily by the sparrows.
w. T. Elliott of the Kennewick
dairy, reported to the county agent
that he was able to get a large
number by distributing the poison
ed grain in the bedding in the COW
barn after he had poisoned them
about a number of places about the
barn yards. Sparrows seldom, if
ever, come back to feed at a point
where sparrows have been poison
ed. He found this was not true,
however, where he poisoned in the
bedding as the sparrows thought
apparently that this grain was
coming from the straw of the bed
ding and he was able to get a
large number of sparrows here
over a long period of time. One,
| if they wished to get rid of them
entirely, must observe where they
are feeding and follow just such
practices as Mr.. Elliott followed.
We still have plenty of sparrow
bait for distribution and would be
glad to furnish it to any drug
store or other stores in the county
wishing to serve as a distribution
agent for people of the community.
Poisoning should he done soon,
however, if good results are to be
expected.

POISONING MAGPIEs

The following method of control
for the Magpies, is one recon-
mended by the Bureau of Biological
Survey. We would suggest that es-
pecial care be given to placing
of the bats where dogs or cats
will not secure them. 1t probably
would be better if the grain bait
might be used where the bait is to
be used near buildings and the
tallow bait at a distance from the
buildings.
"a method that has met with
considerable success in the winter
months involves the use of tallow
or lard. Powdered strychnine aka
loid at the rate of about 1-8 ounce
to quart of melted tallow or lard
is stirred into the liquid grease,
and while cooling it should be agi-
tated from time to time to prevent
the settling of particles of poison.
This should be continued until the
grease becomes thickened and will
hold the poison in suspension. It
should then ibe allowed to harden,
after which it may be cut or brok-
en- into pieces about Ia in. square.
Bats should be placed sparingly
about or on decoy carcasses, or a
few may be impressed on the tops
of fence posts where the magpies
habitually perch. These bats have
the advantage of disintegrating in
warm weather, thus becoming
harmless to other birds or manuals.
Grain bats may be used if pre-
cautions are taken to prevent the
killing of other birds. The use of
whole corn as bait, which is per-
fectly acceptable to magpies, will
prevent the killing of small seed
eaters. While chickens possess
marked immunity to strychnine and
can eat certain quantity of bats
without effect, other poultry, es-
pecially turkeys and ducks, must
be kept away from baited areas.
Grain bats should be used SPAR
ingly about carcasses or in places
where magpies habitually congre-
gate, and should be replenished
from day to day as they are picked
up. When once the flock of mag
pies has been eliminated, surplus
grain should be cleaned up.
An effective grain bait may be
prepared according to the follow
ing formula:
Whole corn, 20 quarts; strych-
nine alkaloid (powdered), ounce;
starch, gloss, 2 tablespoonfuIs; wa
ter. / 1-2 pints.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1929-02-21

Prepare the starch in the usual
manner for preparation of starch
and then stir the strychnine into
it until examination shows that
the strychnine is we'll mixed with
the starch. Pour the mixture over
the corn and stir until every kerr
lal is coated. The seed may then be
spread out and dried.
CAUTION-Keep all poison con-
tainers plainly labeled and out of
reach of irresponsible persons and
livestock. Pick up or destroy UNI
eaten bats.

FEED THE DAIRY cows

Feed the cows! This statement
sounds common place, but feeding
the cow is by no means common
practice if you include IN II Wna1
should he commonly understood.
that the cows are to be fed enough
fed the right kinds OF feed, leu az
cordino to their requirements Tor
high production and health, anu
fed economically.
A GREAT deal has been written on
dairy feeding-too much IN rag
ments, outlining single factors put
not relating them to one anotner
and to the whole problem and tlnal
purpose of dairy feeding. The dairy
mans problem is to secure the
proper balance between amount OF
production and cost of production
SO that when all factors under ms
particular conditions, are consld-
cred, he will receive the greatest
net profit. :.
1t must be remembered that all
efforts in feeding will fail unless
good cows are used. The COW that
consumes the feed and produces
the milk must ibe a cow of large
capacity-an efficient producer.
AS the production which good
cows make depends largely upon
the rations they are fed, and as
fifty per cent or more of the cost
of production is the ration, it can
readily been seen that the effici-
ency with which the dairy farmer
conducts his feeding will largely
determine his profit. The dairy
man in choosing his ration must
therefore consider the three funda-
mental principles which are at
the foundation of dairy feeding.
Fit the ration to the cow.
Pitt the crops to the ration
and the farm.
3-Fit the crops and the ration
to the labor.
To fit the COW, the ration must
furnish her with an abundance of
suitable and economic feed so she
will have all she needs for large
production and good health over a
long period of years.
To fit both the ration and the
farm, the crops must be such that
it will be possible to make up most
or all of the ration the cow re
.quires from them, and they must
all be such crops as can be grown
to distinct advantage on the farm
and produce high yields.
To fit the labor, the crops anc
ration chosen must be of such as
to make the best distribution anc
most economic use of labor in the
growing, preparing and the actua
feeding of the feed.
These three requirements over.
lap and there should be give and
take between them, and the high
est balance of the three secured
for the most profitable dairying.
