Now that the warm weather is at
hand the dairyman will need to OBJ
serve extra caution in the production
Of the best quality milk and cream.
o. E. Reed, chief of the Bureau of
Dairy Industry, says, DAIRY farmers
could add millions of dollars to their
annual receipts if only milk and cream
of finest quality were produced. Ten
or fifteen years ago the situation that
existed was accepted as inevitable, and
it was difficult in some places to
secure good milk. However, as a re-
suit of years of constant work by ag-
ricultural and public health agencies,
milk supplies have been remarkably
improved. Dairy farmers are faced
with problems of economic production
and marketing which are at this time
very acute. They must hold their pres
ent market for dairy products; they
should increase their markets; losses
due to sour and off-flavored milk and
low grade dairy products should be
stopped; and the consumers appetite
should be stimulated with palatable
safe milk of good keeping quality

POULTRY INDUSTRY SHOWS
ADJUSTMENT

Encouraging evidence OF extensive
readjustment in the poultry industry
during the past winter and spring is
seen in the fact that egg receipts at
the four major markets from January
to June are noticably lower than
during the same period year ago,
according to r. M. Turner, extension
economist, washington State College.
Egg receipts for the country as a
whole are slowing down and reduc-
ton of $50 per cent for the week end
ing June was registered sor the Pa
cific coast.
While egg prices are still extremely
low, several factors indicate a definite
upward trend is on the way. Hatchery
decrease in Salable chicks of 30.85 per
cent for the period of January l to
April 30, as compared to the same
period in 1880. Storage holdings of case
eggs are below the five-year average
according to the report of June l..
The low price of eggs has tended to
keep consumption heavier than a year
ago. This is especially evident in the
New York market. Meanwhile the low
feed prices have reduced production
costs. According to the present outlook
low feed prices are expected to con-
tinue through the fall and winter.
Recent estimates of poultry produc-
ton in Washington indicate Novem-
Der, 1881, egg production about 10 per
cent lower than that of the same per-
iod last year. Although the movement
of poultry to the market during the
summer will greatly influence the fall
lay, there is little debut as to SUBJ

Niger RUGS

Quite a few complaints have come
to the office in regard to damage done
by rather small black insect. Snap
dragons seem to be favorable plant
but many other Towering and some of
the vegetable plants have also been
affected The insect is probably lit
tie more than an eighth of an inch
long and about an eighth of an inch
across and very black.
This is a true bug which means
particularly that it is sucking insect.
Examination of the host plant will
show that it is not leaf eating in
sect Insects of this kind must be con-
trolled with what is known as contact
poison Arsenate of lead, in other
words, sprayed on the foliage, is of
no benefit since the insect sticks the
eating parts through the epidermis
and sucks the sap from beneath The
contact spray on the other hand is
one which must be put on and which
must actually hit the insect in order
to- kill. Our most common contact
sprays are Black-Leaf 40 and the new
pyrethrum sprays of which Evergreen
is one example. This insect seems to
be rather difficult to kill, requiring
more than the ordinary amount and
hence we would recommend almost
double the normal application Of
either Black-Leaf 40 or Evergreen in
order to clean up the infestation where
these insects are present. Be sure to
hit all of the insects as far as this is
possible as it is only in this way that
they can be killed. This is a pest of
ornamental and small garden areas
rather than one of the field pests of
the county

The June meeting of the Benton
county Pomona Grange met at Rattle
snake Grange for well attended and
a very enthusiastic meeting.
OF the Grange reports made, the
White Bluffs Grange made the OUT
standing report of the month. They
have organized degree team and
initiated class of twenty-siX candi-
dates on June 10. The Vale degree
team put on the initiation for the
White Bluffs Grange. Several Oranges
reported new members initiated during
the past month.
The gas committee appointed some
time ago to see what might be done
toward securing favorable contract on
gas reported that the State Grange
had secured contract with the Gen-
eral Petroleum Corporation TO supply
it's members at very favorable price.
This price was not stated.
A resolution presented by the Buena
Vista Grange regarding reduction of
the telephone service was adopted.
Worthy Master Roger gave the re-
port of the State Grange meeting,
emphasizing the fact that the organi-
cation is growing in all sections of the
state and is in better condition than
at any time in the past. While the
State Grange meeting was not as
largely attended as it had been hoped
earlier in the year, the meeting was
a good one and those attending felt
the effort and time given to this meet
ing was well worth while.
A splendid dinner was served by the
ladies of the Rattlesnake Grange and
the organization was given a rising
vote of thinks for the splendid enter
tainment given.
The following lecture hour program
was given under the direction of Miss
Taylor, Lecturer for the Rattlesnake

Perhaps no common ailment puzzles
the average dog owner so completely
as do ear affections. For many years
dog patients suffered more than was
necessary because of the veterinar-
ians' inability to make correct dag
nosis. Within the last ten years special
instruments have done much to over
come the conditions which were pre-
viously handled unsatisfactory" de-
clares DR.. E. E. Wagner, dean of the
State College division of veterinary
medicine.
"Some dog owners take it upon
themselves to look into the ear canal
of their pets, but no one can see far
enough into the dogs ear with special
instruments to tell anything about the
canal. 1t is difficult to throw light
into this deep and crooked passage,
and without instruments even the vet

ASPARAGUS BEETLE CONTROL

Growers are again beginning to no
tice the inroads made upon the aspar-
agus fields by the asparagus beetle.
Plants have made the bulk of their
growth now and the insects are caus-
ing damage faster than the plant can
outgrow it at this time and hence
the damage is showing up TO a greater
extent At this time of year the only
practical method of control is a thor
ough spraying of the patch with ar
senate OF lad at the rate Of pounds
sc the dry arsenate to 100 gallons of
,sa1er. AS thorough a covering Of the
patch as possible should be made
Since the insect feeds mostly on the
young growinv points, special atten-
ton should be given to spraying the
upper parts of the plant.
The equipment and method of
praying will depend largely upon the
individual grower and what may be
available. We found some last year
who had used the spray gun, strad-
ding one row with the sprayer and
spraying several rows on each side of
the sprayer. Others have used plenty
of hose and were able to work the
patch without driving through it. It
would seem advisable for those con-
templating the planting of new acreage
to leave road space possibly every
SO feet, as it is probable that the as
paragus beetle will always be with us
from now on.
Plants along bitches and road-sides
should be grubbed out with d mattock.
If the crown is removed this will kill
the plant, it not being necessary to
take out the entire root system. Plants
in orchards are probably sprayed
enough that they are of little con-
sequence as far as spread of the as
paragus beetle is concerned.
A thorough job of spraying with
careful check to see that it is done
at the right time should make it pos
sible to practically clean up a patch
Remember that during warm weather
there may be a complete new genera
ton in four weeks time and hence one
should watch to see that spraying may
not be delayed too long. 1t would
seem that where there is heavy in
festation two sprayings with a two
week interval between would be most
efficient.

HOW TO REMOVE CLOTHING
STAINS
E. G. DURDLE,
County Agent

Clothing stains that accompany the
summers outings and picnics are often
the despair of the fastidious house
wife. The arrival of fresh fruits and
berries usually serves to bring new
complications in the way of stains
and spots, especially where there are
children. Although the removal of
stains is usually thought of as diff
cult, the process is comparatively
simple if the spot is properly diagnosed
and the corresponding procedure fol-
lowed, according to Miss Lois Holder
baum, extension clothing specialist
Washington State College.
Grass stains are among the more
common of summer stains, and are
caused by the chlorophyll or coloring
matter present in green foliage and
grass. The quickest way of removing
these spots is to sponge the stain with
a solution of two parts alcohol and
one part water. They may also be re-
moved by thorough rubbing with
hot water and soap.
Grease spots from the automobile,
washing machine, or other mechanical
contrivances are somewhat more diff
cult to remove because they usually
contain dirt, dust, or fine particles of
metal. If the stains have dried, they
must first be covered with lard or
some other fat and allowed to stand
until the fabric has absorbed the APP
plication. The garment should be
laundered with warm water and soap.
Soaps containing naptha or kerosene
are preferred.
If the fabric is not washable, it
must be carefully sponged with chloro-
form or carbon tetrachloride, either of
which are much more effective than
gasoline or benzine. If carbon terra
chloride is used the spot may be i'm
mersed in a small bowl of the solvent
and stroked gently with soft brush
to loosen and remove the particles of
dirt clinging to the grease. A paste
of French chalk or magnesia moisten-
ed with carbon tetrachloride is ex-
cellent for cleaning the lighter colored
unwashable materials. The paste is
spread on the spot, left to dry, and
then brushed off. Repeat the process
if necessary.
Practically all fresh fruit and berry
stains can be removed from table
linens and clothing with boiling water
if they are still moist. After they have
dried it becomes more difficult par
ticularly stains from peaches, and red
or purple fruits and berries. The
stains are often set by soap, the red
color changing to green or blue. Stains
that have set and dried should be
moistened with a 10 per cent solution
of acetic acid and then treated with
boiling water. If the fabric is delicate
and will not stand boiling, the stain
should be sponged Win warm water
followed by. alcohol.
Chocolate and cocoa stains should
be .sprinkled with borax, soaked in cold
water, and thoroughly rinsed in boil
ing water. Complete information as
to the removal or other kind of stains
from clothing may be secured by adj
dressing your home demonstration
agent. or the extension service, Pull
man, Washington.

I'm many instances where dog own
ers have taken their pets to veterinar-
ians promptly, the dog needs no forced
restraint at all and foreign bodies in
the ear may be removed without caus-
ing the animal any unusual pain. In
the cases of very sore ears, it is nec-
essary to give local anaesthetic be-
fore the examination can be conduct-
ed. In any event, it is well worth while
for the owner to watch the ears Of
the dog very carefully. This will pre-
vent the animal from suffering need

Seventy-fiye per cent of Washington
farm homes contain washing ma
chimes, shows a recent State College
survey of almost 600 homes scattered
over all areas of the state.
Some we're hand power machines,
very few water power machines, and
many others were driven either by gas
oline or by electric motors. Forty
seven per cent of the rs per cent
owned electric washing machines. The
replies from town homes in the survey
indicated that SO per cent have wash
ers, and 80 per cent of these were
electric washers, the remaining five
per cent being other types.
The number of electrified farms in
this state is very large in proportion
to the total number of farms, this
survey indicating that between 81 and
So per cent of the rural homes were
electrified. OF these electrified homes,
81 per cent had electric washers.
Ninety-five per cent of the town
homes were electrified and 81 per cent
of these had electric washers.
