SWEET CLOVER FOR PASTURE

After all the other pastures have
dried, the sweet clover at height of
70 to IA inches remains bright green
and is furnishing excellent pasture for
he breeding of beef cattle at the State
College farm" says Jerry Sotola, as
sistant professor of animal husbandry.
Sweet clover will produce bloat in
cattle and stockmen should be pre-
pared to meet this condition. Why
some sweet clovers produce bloat and
others do not is still a problem. Keep
ing the cattle full at all times seems
to minimize the danger. The fact re-
mains that clover furnishes excellent
pasture during both the hot and the
dry seasons. The acreage should not
be too large for the amount of stock
grazed, so that the animals will Craze
the clover closely. Thus it does not
grow too coarse.
The State College professor points
out that very mature sweet clover be-
comes bitter due to substance, Gu
marin, which develops when the plant
natures.

OF Interest To Farmers
MITE DAMAGE SERIOUS

To allow tree to become seriously
infested with the two-spotted mite or
any other form of the mite is apt to
produce serious long time effects up
on the tree While our trees have made
the majority of their twig growth,
good healthy leaves are essential for
another to 10 weeks in order to leave
that tree in good condition for win
ter and for the production of crop
another year. We have seen many
trees on which the leaves seem to have
lost almost all vitality due to mite in
Jury. This is a serious matter. Prob
ably in many of these trees this con-
dition could be remedied if proper
sprays were applied in the very near
future We realize that financing of
extra sprays in the orchard is diff
cult matter, but this is a matter which
must be given careful attention since
it will affect the tree for at least an
other season and possibly longer than
this, according to information obtain
ed from California reports.
1t would seem advisable to use some
type Of spray, either proper strength
of lilne-sulpher applied under right
conditions or of oil, to clean up this
infestation at the first opportunity.

THAT FAIR EXHIBIT

It is time that those planning on
making an exhibit at the Fair this
year should be planning rather def
initely toward this exhibit. 1t would
look, from the interest already being
shown, that the exhibits this year will
be larger and better than ever. We
hope that every grower this year will
be an exhibitor with some product
or another at the annual Fair
For the benefit OF those who may
not have made exhibits or given much
attention to them, we would say that
if one begins now to watch for speci-
mems which would be as near true to
type as possible for the variety and
product of the plant that one should
if one waits until just before Fair
time and then goes and gathers just
what one may get from the garden,
field or orchard. The exhibit which
will win the prize is the one of rep
resentative size and shape for the var
iety. Uniformity is very important and
yet hard to get. In selecting apples,
for instance, for a plate display of
five, the nearer one can come to get
ting five apples that look SO near
alike that one could not tell the diff
ference between them the nearer one
would have a good exhibit. OF course,
color, size and absolute freedom from
blemishes, including bruises, insect
damage, or other blemishes, are of ex-
IRENE Importance. The above charact-
eristics are important for all fruit and
vegetable displays.
In making forage crop or grain dis
Lays it is well to cut these ahead OF
lime, tying them into neat bundles
and suspending them with the top
of the plant downward SO that they
may dry in a good straight position
When these bundles are put on exhibit
then they may be turned upright and
will hold their shape nicely. Forage
crops in which the color is to be re-
.ained should be dried in dark place
where there is plenty of circulation of
air, and then kept in rather dark
location until Fair time.
We are especially anxious to see ex-
ira attention given to the fruit and
vegetable displays this year. There is
more interest in the Fair than in the
past and as we have pointed out sew
eral times, we are sure that we will
have number of outside visitors at
our Fair and they will get an erron-
eous impression of the importance of
these enterprises if but few exhibits
are made of these products Cash
prizes have been offered in all classes
this year and this should attract more
exhibitors than in the past.
Anyone not having received pre-
MUM list and wanting same may Sc
cure one by calling at the office of
the county agricultural agent.

RAILROADS IN TOUGH SPOT

The railroads of the country are
asking the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for permission to raise their
freight rates Is per cent. They prob
ably won't get it, The psychology is
all against them.
But the railroads are in a tough
spot. The automobiles and stages on
good roads, built largely by railroad
taxes, have captured the passenger
business and now the trucks travelling
over the same good and ever better
roads, are taking part of the freight
and express business.
The carriers have put into practise
all possible economy in operation to
meet the new conditions but they are
still having trouble in making the bal
ance at the end of the month show
up on the right side of the ledger.
They say they are getting near the
end of their rope. They are probably
exaggerating but they are going to
have to break few strands of the
governmental red tape by which they
are regulated and arrange their af-
fairs to meet the new situation, or the
future does not look very rosy for
them.
No one wants to see the railroads
go out of business or to be even SER
iously crippled. But they are going to
have to take the initiative in revamp-
ing their whole method of operation
to meet the competition. Shippers
everywhere would be glad to cooperate
in any move Of this kind

/. RATS

A number of complaints have come
to the office in regard to rat con-
troll, indicating that rats have multi
piled rather rapidly probably under
the rather favorable conditions of the
past winter We have visited several
places where there is plenty of vi
dence of serious rat infestation.
w have been comforting with leaders
in the Biological Survey, looking to-
ward the holding of some meetings a
little later in the fall at which time
rather specific recommendation could
be given people having trouble with
rats, so that a general campaign for
cleaning up of at least the more badly
infested areas could be undertaken.
1t is probable that some time during
September meetings will be held at
least at Prosser and Kennewick at
which time as far as possible demon
stration meetings will be worked out.
1t is rather difficult to work out
demonstration meeting on rat control
since there are so many factors en-
tering into the control problem but
we are sure that the general infor-
nation given at meeting of this kind
will be worth while for anyone at
tending.

BANIsHING INSECT PESTS

Warm weather and dampness have
a tendency to encourage cockroaches
Waterbugs, ants, etc. Reaches have a
faculty of disappearing in daylight be-
hind baseboards, cracks, hooks and
corners. If nothing is done to elimin-
ateate them, they will soon overrun
their haven. They come out OF thell
places of security in droves as soon
as the house is in darkness and are
attracted by the slightest trace of food
and food particles.
A bulletin distributed by the U. S.
department of agriculture suggests the
effective use of common boraX to BAN
ish reaches.
Powdered borax enters into the
composition of the so-called roach
powders. Borax may be used either
pure as repellent, or mixed with
some other substances to make it at
tractive to the insects"
While borax is effective in repel-
ling reaches water bugs, ants, etc., it
is also non poisonous and safe to
use.
Although it isn't necessary, there
are various ingredients used to bait the
insects, such as sugar and cocoa mixed
with the pure powdered borax. The
simplest method is to wash the cup
boards, woodwork, and likely haunts,
with solution of warm water and
common borax (about two tablespoons
Of borax to a quart of warm Water) !;
then sprinkle the dry powdered borax
in the back of pantry shelves, behind
baseboards, and around the kitchen
sink few applications is all that are
necessary to immediately drive away
the pests.

Simple Facts Of
Dog Feeding old

If the feeding of your dog presents
itself as weighty problem, take
heart
According to the Chapel Kennel
Foundation, Rockford, Illinois, here is
all that you need to know about his
feeding:
l. Feed one heavy meal day, pref
erably in the evening. Feed the light
meal in the morning. Puppies require
three to five meals day, depending
on their ages. Feed at the same hours
each day.
2. Meat is the dogs natural diet.
If you feed your dog prepared, we'll
balanced meat food, with dog biscuits
for variety's sake, he will need moth
ing else.
3. Don't feed table scraps, potatoes,
boiled eggs or pork, and don't serve
soupy foods. Beware Of chicken and
fish bones. Dogs care nothing for
sweets until taught to like them.
4. Provide plenty of water.
S. Never allow violent exercise d.
rectly after feeding.
If dog does not take readily to
biscuits, which are essential to keep
ing his gums hard and teeth clean, ii
is suggested that kibbled or broken
biscuits be gradually Incorporated in
to his regular ration until he gets used
to eating them.

DRIVERS LICENSE RENEWALS
BRINGS UP SUGGESTION

All drivers of motor cars must renew
their drivers license beginning August
first. Blanks are obtainable at most
garages. Renewal is the same as be-
fore, one dollar for two years, and the
blanks and requirements thereon are
the same as before, except that the
drivers previous license number is re-
quired to be listed.
Other facts required of the appli-
cant include:
Your age, sex, color of eyes, color
OF hair, height and weight. Inquiry is
made as to whether the applicant has
ever been convicted of reckless or
drunken" driving. The signature of
two citizens is required.
Commenting on drivers licenses, A,
A. Bastien, manager of the N. A. A. A.,
recently said
1T might be well for Washington
to have more stringent license re-
quirement. In California, those secur-
ing drivers licenses must pass simple
eye tests and demonstrate their ability
in driving. This added precaution in
issuing licenses could easily be ham
died by our state highway department,
and our association would gladly assist
in conducting tests under such a pro-
vision. The drivers license fund in this
state runs well over a half million dol
lars, and, perhaps, if this was spent
in more careful examination of driv-
ers at the time licenses are issued, it
would assist all of us in our campaign
to prevent accidents"
