Test of milk means the percent
age Of butterfat which it contains.
Percentage means the number Of
parts per hundred. Thus 8 per
cent milk is one which contains 8
pounds of butterfat in each hun
dred weight of milk.
The Babcock test is "fool-proof'
and always reliable. Sometimes
the question is asked whether q
strong acid does not 'fburn away
or dissolve" some of the fat in
the cream sample, or milk samples
and thus lower the test. Acid can.
mot burn or dissolve the fat in this
test. 1t has no affect on the fat
whatsoever, as fat will float UNI
harmed on any strength of this
acid.

MORNING GLORY CONTROL

Farmers of the Kennewick COM
munity who are interested ii
watching the control of Morning
Glory by the use of Sodium Chlor.
ate may visit the patch on the
acreage on the A. /. Smith farm
just east of the Lawrence Smith
farm on the river road. Two
patches of Morning Glory covering
approximately 18 square rods were
treated in the young cherry ant
peach orchard right near the high
way, on this tract Tuesday, june
a. While we do not recommend
treatment at this time, the situa'
ton here was little peculiar anc
the plots were sprayed because Of
this situation. We want to particu.
arly urge that any one visiting this
plot, that they view it from the
edge rather than walking through
it and that under no consideration
should lighted matches or fire be
thrown into the patch.
The patch was treated with So
dunn Chlorate at the rate of ap-
proximately one pound per square
rod in a spray with the new spray
equipment especially prepared for
use in weed control work, late on
Tuesday afternoon. The patch was
examined Wednesday morning and
many of the plants were, at that
time, showing the result of the
chemical. The plot was again visit
ed Friday afternoon when practi-
cally all the top growth was kill
ed and was very dry. 1t is probable
that in from week to two weeks,
new growth may start from the
ground, but much of this growth
will die before the season is over.
Care was taken not to spray leaves
of the young trees but the soil i'm
mediately about them where the
weed had been growing was given
the usual application of spray.
The county equipment will be
made available for all farmers who
wish to use this method of control
of perennial weeds Blackberry
plants and willows, and plants OF
this nature may also be treated by
this method where they have be-
come a real problem. The cost of
the Sodium Chlorate for local use
has been approximately 13c per
pound and one pound covering a
square rod, which makes the cost
of control very reasonable.

TREE SPACING

During the winter season atten-
t;on was called to fruit growers
thru horticultural meetings and
news articles to the need OF spac-
inc out of particularly apple or
chards in several communities OF
| the county. A few orchards have
Ibeen spaced during the year but
here are many more that need this
work done. There is no better time
! to check this than at this time OF
the year. We have talked this mat.
ter over with several growers and
have been told where there are
spaces left in the orchard because
of trees having been taken out at
s,me time or other, that the setting
of fruit in these more open areas
is much greater and that without
question the apples here color ear
llier and better. We would advise
that every apple orchardist who
suspects that there is any problem
of tree spacing in his orchard, to
check this situation carefully at
this season of the year. We believe
that there are many orchards and
this was Mr.. Armstrong; comment
a number. of times while in the
county, that need to have fully one
half of the trees removed. There
are others where probably not
more than one third of the trees
should be removed at this time.
Study your orchard now and de-
termine just what the possibilities
are for you to secure good returns
from tree spacing. Remember that
quality fruit is the kind that brings
a high net return. Apples grown on
trees that are too crowded for
space, cannot possibly grade a
large percentage of extra fancies
of good size.
Fruit buds for next years crop
Twill be set largely during June and
the first half of July and we be-
lieve that there are many orchards
where there is a poor crop this
year that one might afford to do
considerable summer pruning in
the removal of branches to allow
the sunlight to the trees which will
be left permanently in the or.
chard and in some cases, we be.
lieve it would be profitable to ever

WHY MILK TESTS VARY

Why does the milk of any COW OF
lany herd vary from day to day OF
week to week? This is most per-
nlexing question, but is being ask
cd daily by any dairyman having
h;s herd or individual cows tested
for butterfat by the Babcock test
ING method. Even yet the most ex.
merit chemist cannot explain all OF
the changes that occur, and we
must admit that no one has yet
discovered all the laws that govern
the process of the secretion OF milk
and butterfat.
We do know that changes in test
always occur even from one milk
ing to another even when every
possible condition we can discover
affecting the COW, is kept the same.
For instance, cows on test for offlc
lial record are treated with as near
lly perfect regularity as possible
every milking, and yet a study OF
line test chart of any cow ever test
| ed will show variations from day
| to day. Thousands Of cases are on
record from one day to another as
much as one, two or more per cent.
There are great many causes
suspected of causing milk tests to
vary from day to day. Some of the
well-known causes for changes IN
tests are:
1. Weather conditions invariably
affect both test and quantity, eth
er one way or the other. 2. A
change in mixers. 8. Careless or in
complete milking causes change.
a. Sudden changes of any kind. S
Physical condition Of the cow. A
/ fat COW tests higher than thin
cow for a month or longer when
| first fresh. A cow in heat may test
below normal for long time. 2.
I'M treatment decreases production
and tests. 8. Period of lactation.
Tests usually increase toward the
end of the milking period. 8. The
shedding of hair seems to reduce
test, in whatever season it occurs.
10. Feed. No particular kind OF
feed has been discovered which
seems to permanently increase the
test, but well-fed cow tests high
er than a partly starved animal, q
fat cow temporarily under fed
tests higher for short time, and
any changes to much better feed
(which stimulates heavy flow OF
milk, (such as new pasturel us

CAMPBELL PASTURES
THREE HEAD PER ACRE

C. G. Campbell of Kennewick in
vited the county agent and assist
ant county agent out to look over
his pasture the fore part of this
week. Mr.. Campbell is pasturing a
total of approximately six acres
and running the equivalent of Il
head of livestock. A part of Mr.
Campbelrs pasture consists of low
ground bordering on sub land type
while the remainder is average OF
valley soil that is well drained.
Mr.. Campbell has four pasture
areas, three on the low ground
which were originally seeded to al.
falfa, one Of which has been al.
lowed to run to blue grass and the
others to which he has seeded blue
grass. Two of these pieces were
pastured together this spring, the
other piece being held for pastur-
age later. Two Of his pasture areas
those on the upland, are partly in
orchard and are mixed alfalfa and
blue grass, although the blue grass
predominates in these areas. Mr.
Campbell feels that he gets much
more out Of this type. of pasture
than he would get from sweet clo-
yer.
Mr.. CampbeiISs system Of pas
turing is as follows. The cattle are
turned into one pasture area for
approximately one half hour the
first day, night and morning, and
then are turned into the lot. The
next day this period is increased
to probably ga Of an hour and is
gradually increased until the herd
has been on the pasture for one
and one-half hours after which,
the cattle are turned in for the full
day. BY the time the cattle have
been turned in for one and one
half hours twice a day, they have
been over the pasture enough that
they are not going to destroy a
lot Of pasture by tramping. In this
way, Mr.. Campbell feels that he
gets away from any serious dam
ger Of bloat from the alfalfa re-
manning in the pasture. The cattle
are then left on each pasture lot
until they have pastured it down
we'll and then taken off and put

perhaps to lack of water part OF

considerable to do with yields from
this plot. The test here giving re-
suits that were best was that of
Potash and Phosphate with the
yield of four pounds and one OF.
Next to this was the test plot with
four pounds and no ounces. The
third plot was the Nitrate and the
Phosphate plot with the yield OF
3 pounds and fifteen ounces. The
next plot was the Nitrate plot with
a yield of three pound and six OF.
