PERENNIAL WEED CONTROL

Human nature is pretty much the
lame the world over Last year there
were few growers interested enough
IN the asparagus beetle control to take
control measures. While these grow
ers still have. problem, there is no
question but what it is much less
Of a problem this year because of their
control measures applied last year,
than it would have been otherwise.
Everyone is much concerned with
asparagus beetle control now.
For two years we have been trying
to point out the menace of the per-
email weed problem in this county.
Are we going to wait until it be-
comes a general problem before we
get much concerned about it?
In the first place, just as far as
possible, every farmer in the county
should know the serious perennial
weeds of the county. Weed mounts
nave been prepared recently with the
idea Of making it possible for every
farmer to study these weeds. These
will be on display in your community
sometime within the next few weeks.
Your paper will call your attention
to the display and the place where
it may be seen.
We suggest that every farmer of
the community watch for the notices
of this display and at sometime dur
ing the week make special effort to
study the display and learn the gen
eral characteristics of each one of
these weeds and then if you have
something on your place which looks
suspicious and take it up with your
County Agent or the Horticultural
inspector who will assist you in ident-
flying or at least tell you whether
the weed you have is a serious one
or not.
The weed display will be on dis
play at the Kennewick Courier Re-
porter for the week of May 18th to 81.

FEEDING ON PASTURE

The summer months furnish an
abundance of rich pasture and COWS
will always come up in mild flow
when turned onto this feed However,
there is tendancy to entirely dis
continue the feeding Of grain during
these months. This practice does not
greatly handicap and GuetGsey or
Jersey COW that produces about 20
pounds milk daily, or the Holstein or
Ayrshire PRODUCING 25 pounds daily,
however, for COW producing over
these amounts the result is gradual
pulling down on the body flesh and
vitality Of the cow
Much of the early pasture contains
less solids than milk itself, and it is
practically impossible for high-pro-
ducing COW to consume sufficient to
keep up her production.
Grain rations carrying low per-
centage of protein, but considerable
carbohydrates, are desirable for the
first half of the pasture season. The
following mixtures are suggested:
80 pounds mill run and 100 pounds
of CIR. oats, or 100 pounds mill run
and 100 pounds CIR. barley, or 100
pounds mill run, 100 pounds CIR. bar
ley and 100 pounds CIR. oats, or 100
pounds mill run, 100 pounds CIR. bar
ley, 100 pounds CIR. corn, 100 pounds
CIR. oats and Is pounds soy bean meal.
Other mixtures can be prepared for
special conditions.
1t is probable that in many sections
as great loss in production occurs
from poor pasture conditions in sum-
mer as from improper feeding in win
ter. Poor milk production in winter is
often the result Of poor feeding In
summer.

WATCH FOR HOARY cREss

WATCH FOR HOARY CRESS
Farmers throughout the county
should be on the lookout for Hoary
Cress or White Top, as it is often
called. 1t is perennial weed belong
ing to the mustard family. 1t is in
bloom at this time, having a very
white bloom, rather distinct sweet
oder. A few of the plants may be
already showing the seed pod. Growth
will be from six inches to possibly
10 inches or little more in heighth,
with rather smooth leaf, two to
three inches long and from one
half to three quarters of an inch in
width, and more or less irregular on
the margin.
This weed reproduces from the root
system as well as from seed and
this is the reason why it is weed
which should be closely watched. Gull
tivation and rilling though areas COW
cred with it will undoubtedly spread
the seed over larger areas and even
tually one will have large patches to
combat in your cultivated crops or
even in alfalfa fields. If in alfalfa
fields it undoubtedly will be spread
through the hay, as the seed vii!
be ripe by time of first cutting. Peo-
pie purchasing hay will need to be-
gin to pick fields from which they
are purchasing hay in order to be
sure that they are not getting weeds
of this kind. For all OF these var
ious reasons it is important tilssssteps
be taken to control this wsea ,Xi,ile
