Perennial Weed Control

Human nature is pretty much
the same the world over. Last
year there were a few growers in
terested enough in the asparagus
beetle control to take control
measures. While these growers
still have problem, there is no
question but what it is much less
of problem this year because of
their control measures applied last
year, than it would have been 9TH
erwise. Everyone is much con-
cerned with asparagus beetle con-
troll now.
For two years we have been try
ing to point out the menace of the
perennial weed problem in this
county. Are we going to wait un-
til it becomes a general problem
before we get much concerned
about it?
In the first place, just as far as
possible, every farmer in the coun-
ty should know the serious peren-
ial weeds of the county. Weeds
have been mounted and 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 at
tention to the display and the
place where it may be seen.
We suggest that every farmer of
the community watch for the no.
tice Of this display and at some
time during the week make spec
ial effort to study the display and
learn the general characteristics
of each 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 identifying or at
least tell you whether the weed
you have is serious one or not.
The weed display will be on dis
play at the Kennewick Courier

HIGH PRODUCTION
DEMANDS REARING
OF IDEAL PULLETS
Soft Fleshed and Rapidly Matured
Birds "Blow Our" Under Strain
of go to 20 Percent Laying

"Chickens, a generation ago,
were bred to lay at the rate of 40
or so percent, while today they
are bred to lay at a go or 20 per-
cent rate. Yet, the building of
these high producing pnllets has
improved very little, and the re-
suit is that many of them go to
pieces via the blow out route"
says w. D. Buchanan, extension
poultryman, Washington State
College.
tThis loss can only be remedied
by the growing of harder and
tougher freshed pullets instead of
the soft fleshed birds which are
being turned out today by confine-
ment brooding, hopper feeding
without exercise, small yards, wire
covered yards and floors, limited
range or no range at all, and rapid
growing rations. Each of these fac
tors tends toward a softness which
will break under high production.
"An important step to combat
this soft and premature develop
ment has been taken by the State
college experiment station in reco-
mending a growing ration which
has 25 percent less animal protein
than used last year. This will have
= tendency to slow growth. More
oats have been added to the ration
to grow larger and better muscled
birds, and the hopper feeding of
grain is recommended to induce the
chickens to eat less mash.
Gwen though chickens are hop
Per fed they should not be robbed
of the old-fashioned exercise of
hunting food" continued Mr.. Bu-
chanan. "They must have a big

QUALITY AND PROFITS

Every apple grower of the coun-
ty knows that a quality product
coupled with high production per
acre has been required more par
ticularly of recent years to bring
a real net profit to the grower.
Why is this problem not given
more real consideration when it
comes to handling the various
problems of the orchard?
Probably the most outstanding
losses from the quality standpoint
is the loss due to worms. 1t is
possible to produce a crop with
not more than three to five per-
cent loss from this problem. The
growers are doing it right in the
county. The aim is high, but if pro-
fits are to be made the aim must
be high. This will be probably just
as true if not even more so for
the coming crop than for the crop
of last year.
With all of the agencies at work
in the field on this problem in
Guiding the Horticultural Inspec-
ton Service, the field men for the
various cooperatives and other sell
ing organizations and the valu-
able information made available
this year through the work of Mr..
Spuler of the experiment station,
it hardly looks as though there is
much excuse for at least high
percentage of worms this year.
The extension service, while not
planning any spray demonstration
meetings this year, because of
the many other organizations COW
ering this work and because of the
extensive program which we al
ready have, yet are just as much
interested in seeing the fruit grow
ers of the county secure and fol-
low the best information available
no matter where it may come
from.
We wish that we might make
this a personal talk to every fruit
grower of the county, but since
this is not possible we want to say
thru this news item that it is our
opinion that fruit growers must

scratching floor covered with deep,
clean litter, and it may be necess-
airy to scatter a few handfuls of
grain daily to get the birds to ex-
ercise. If pullets are confined to a
small yard or house, it is impera-
tive that they be litter fed if they
are to stand up under high produc-
ton.
"The ideal method of building
up the desired vigor is to keep the
chickens and pullets scratching in
a clean, deep litter until they are
eight or 10 weeks old. They should
then he moved to a large, clean
range with plenty of green feed,
some bugs to induce exercise, and
a little shade to rest in. AS pull
lets do not exercise much in the
heat of the day, the shady places
should be covered with wire plat
forms about a foot above the
ground. Narrow roosts, feed hop
|pers, and drinking fountains should
be placed on these wire platforms
to prevent the chickens from eat
ing filth.
Disease germs and parasites
which prey on the intestinal tract
of chickens play large part in
producing weakly pullets. These
parasites, in the egg form, thrive
in moist and shady places. Chick
ems must therefore be kept from
contact with moist earth. Parasites
lying in dry, dusty yards soon per-
ish as the sun robs them of their
vitality. Protect the pullets with a
dry range.
"Slower growth, more exercise,
more muscle growing food, great
er freedom from disease, open
range with plenty of fresh air, and
an abundance Of green feed may
combine to produce the pullet that
will stand 80 percent production.
It is not impossible. Breeding may
have to be improved before pullets
are perfect, but the commercial
egg producer can only take care Of
his pullets after he gets them"
says Mr.. Buchanan, in conclusion.

WATCH FOR HoARY CREss

Farmers thruout the county
should be on the lookout for Hoary
Cress or White Top, as it is often
called. It is perennial weed be-
longing to the mustard family. 1t
is in bloom at this time, having a
very white bloom, rather distinct
sweet odor. A few of the plants
may be already showing the seed
pod. Growth will be from six
inches to possibly 18 inches or a
little more in heighth, with rather
a 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 mar
gin.
This weed produces from the
and this is the reason why it is a
root system as well as from seed
weed which should be closely
watched. Cultivation and rilling
through areas covered with it will
undoubtedly spread the seed over
larger areas and eventually 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 thru
the hay, as the seed will be ripe
by time of first cutting. People
purchasing hay seed will begin to
pick fields from which they are
purchasing hay in order to be sure
that they are getting weeds of this
kind. For all of these various rea-
sons it is important that steps be
taken to control this weed while
found in small patches on the
farm.
