FARM BOARD REPRESENT
ALIVE MAKES ADDRESS

A meeting of truck growers of
the Kennewick and Pasco area is
being held at the Riverview
Grange hall, four miles up the
river from Pasco Friday evening
of this week. This meeting will be
addressed by John Marshall, rep
resentative of the Farm Board
working under the immediate sup
ervision of Mr.. Schoenfield, who is
the northwest representative on
the Board.
Mr.. Marshall comes to discuss
the program of the Farm Board in
the marketing of soft fruits and
growers on both sides of the river
are particularly glad to have Mr..
Marshall present to explain de-
tails in the development of pro-
gram for the community working
on program in cooperation with the
Farm Board. Any farmer interest
ed is not only invited, but urged
to attend.

Smut Control Still
Necessary Treatment

"Stinking smut still takes it's
toll of a million or so bushels of
wheat each year in the Pacific
Northwest Notwithstanding care
full seed treatment and resistant
varieties, the two common methods
Of combating it," declares DR.. E.
F, Gaines Of the State College
agronomy department. .
winter wheat could not long be
grown in Washington, Idaho, and
Oregon without seed treatment.
Copper carbonate in dust form is
in general use and is recommend
ed by the experiment stations. It
it available at drug stores, farm
bureau Offices, and grocery stores.
Machines, homemade or manu-
featured, for busting the seed are
in common use. The dust is irri-
tating to the nose and throat and
actually poisonous if inhaled in
large quantities. One treating the
seed with copper carbonate should
wear gas mask or keep out of the
dust
"Blue vitriol is equally effect
i've in killing smut on the seed,
but it also kills some of the seed
wheat, which copper carbonate
does not do. No seed treatment
will prevent a smutty crop in win
ter wheat when conditions are just
right for infestation from wind
borne smut in the soil. The most
resistant varities which are COM
monty known as Ridit, Albit, and
Turkey. Ridit is immune from
some forms of smut and more or
less resistant to all the others. Al
bit is immune from the prevailing
form but quite susceptible to five
new forms that are widely scatter
ed throughout the wheat belt of
the INLAND Empire.
SIN spite Of these new forms of
smut which have become known
since the World War, the total
number Of cars of wheat which
grade "sn1utty" at the shipping
terminals is somewhat less than
formerly. This is largely because
of the replacement Of susceptible
varities by Ridit and Albit. Smut
has been very abundant this year
in Hybrid 1913, Triplet, Fortyfold,
and Turkey, but Ridit and Albit
have been nearly free from smut
in most communities"

POCKET GOPHER CONTROL

The season is rapidly approach
ing when real killing can be
made of the photographers infest-
ing the farm. At this time of the
year the pocket gophers are busy
storing food for their winter
caches. Because Of this habit poi
soned bats of carrot and sweet
potatoes busted with strychnine,
sacchrine mixture put into the
runway by the use of probe will
be picked up and eaten or carried
to storage by the gopher. Wheth-
er eaten Immediately or later dur
ing the winter it serves the same
purpose in Kidding the field of the
gopher before the spring comes.
The bats can be prepared
cheaply and the work of going
over the. farm with the probe is a
minor one so THAT the entire farm
can be poisoned in comparative
ly short time. The ease of poison
ing and the habits Of the gopher
during the fall season make this
by far the easiest method of rid
ding the farm of this pest. Stry-
chime and sacchrine may be OBJ
tanned thru the county agent.
Wherever there is enough Of a
problem within the community to
make community demonstration
meeting worth while we would be
glad to hold such meeting in the
community farmers feeling that
there is such need for their COM
munity may get together and ar
range for such a meeting and we
will be more than glad to cooper
ate with them.

GOOD TIME TO TREAT
THE PERENNIAL WEEDS

The fall season is a good time
to treat the perennial weeds. With
the present price which has been
made on Sodium Chlorate and the
lessened fire hazard due to the
fall season, wherever it is at all
possible we feel it is good business
to begin treatment Of perennial
weed patches that may be found
here or there on the farm. We I'M
derstand that Sodium Chlorate is
still available at around $3.50 per
hundred, especially if farmers in
the same immediate neighborhood
can combine in the purchase of a
drum and then weigh it out to
themselves making the division as
they have need of it. With treat
ment of 2 to 3 1-2 pounds of this
chemical per square rod, especial
ly where the areas are small we
would advise treatment wherever
it is at all possible to do so. The
treatment at this season of the
year will penetrate deeper than at
any other time and affect the
plant at time when it does not
have the resistance to force new
growth to overcome the affects of
the Chlorate. New stands that
come up within the patch another
year should be treated as soon as
the majority of them have shown
above the surface so as to prevent
any restorage of food within the
root system.

Local Crops Used
AS Feed Tests

Eastern No. 8 yellow corn, corn
grown in the Yakima valley, wheat
grown on the dry land area adj
joining this valley-a variety
known as early Baart, a hard
spring wheat grown in the
upper Yakima valley, and barley
grown in eastern Washington have
been tested as feeds for fattening
lambs for three years at the irri-
CATION branch station at Prosser,
according to Howard Hackedorn,
head of the State College animal
husbandry division.
These feeds as grains for fat
tening lambs were ranked in the
order named. There was practic-
ally no difference between til e
eastern No. 8 and the locally grown
corn as a feed for fattening the
"cut-back" lambs from Washing
ton range herds.
These lambs were sired by
black-face Hampshire rams and
were out Of long wool, fine wool
cross bred ewes. Their average
weight at the beginning was ap-
proximately 20 pounds. In order
to put a gain of 25 pounds on
these lambs, total feed per lamb
of "a pounds of eastern No. 8 corn
and 14O pounds of chopped No. 1
alfalfa hay was required. 1t re-
quires 70 days to make this gain.
The local grown corn lots requir-
ed practically the same amount of
feed and the same time.
The lots receiving wheat requir-
ed 81 pounds of grain and 166
pounds of the same quality chop
ped hay. It took IS days for them

DAIRY COW NEEDS
FALL GRAIN RATION
Supplement to Late Summer Pas
lures Means Increased Fall
and Winter Production.

A small grain ration fed to pro-
ducing dairy cows as q supplement
to late summer pastures will pay
dividends through increased pro-
duction during the fall and winter
according to studies made by the
extension service, Washington
State College. Although some pas
lures still have a fairly good
growth, the grasses are not as
succulent as in the spring and
cannot furnish the good dairy cow
with sufficient feed.
Dairy cows which produce more
than one pound of butterfat per
day should have a supplementary
grain ration of about a pound of
grain for each four to six pounds
of milk, even though green corn
and alfalfa are fed. Although the
green alfalfa and clover are excel
lent feeds, a grain ration high in
carbohydrates and fats is need
ed to balance the proteins of the
green feeds. Barley answers very
satisfactorily and may be fed with
either bran or oats, using about
one-half barley, depending on the
flesh of the cows. For cows re-
ceiving corn fodder the same grain
mixture should be supplemented
with one-fourth to one-sixth lin
seed or soya bean meal.
Cows permitted to lose flesh
early in the fall usually drop bad
ly in production and it is difficult
to increase the milk flow on dry
feed except in the case of fresh
cows. Herd tests often drop badly
if the proper supplemental grain
ration is postponed too long. With

butter prices firm and showing
some advance, there is little doubt
that small grain ration will not
show a profit now as well as
through increased fall and winter
production.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1931-09-24

to make the gain of 25 pounds.
Barley and oats were practically
equivalent to wheat. The corn-fed
lot carried a little higher degree
Of finish. 1t was rated at two to
three percent higher than the
wheat, barley and oats lots.
