DIVORCES INCREASE IN STATE

Well, Well! Apparently these hard
times of the current era have not only
reduced the numbers of marriages.
would be expected-but have cut down
the number of divorces-which is not
SO easily understood. Perhaps the ex-
PLANTATION is that the cost of divorce
has not yet been Debated to comport
with other costs. These remarks per-
tain to records of the state of Wash
ington last year, just issued in prelim-
mary form by U. S. Department OF
Commerce.
The number of marriages decreased
7.3 per cent in 1880 in comparison
with 1929. This decline was from 49,
685 to 1922, or 1443. The divorce in
dustry did not slump proportionately.
Divorces dropped only 2.3 per cent
from 4484 to 1882, decrease of 102.
There were two more annulments of
marriages than in 1929, or IS COM
pared with 60.
The figures disclose an angle that
is not so complimentary to the state.
Marriages in 1922 numbered 1850.
The increase in 8 years amounts to
lis per cent But, divorces in 1922
totaled 1882, which was not quite half
the 1882 reported for last year. The

Low Quality Milk Robs
Farmer of Profits

Thousands of dollars are lost an
nually by Washington dairym n
through failure to produce milk and
cream Of the highest quality, accord
ing to studies made by the agricul-
tural extension service, Washington
State College. Although a decade ago
milk and cream OF inferior quality was
considered as inevitable, constant
work by agricultural and public health
agencies have improved the facilities
for handling dairy produce to the
point where the average dairyman on
the average farm can produce high
grade milk without expensive barns or
equipment.
Dust and dirt from the body of the
COW, unclean utensils, and the growth
of bacteria In the milk after it is
drawn constitute the three primary
causes of contamination which lowers
the quality of the milk. Before milk
ing, the udders, flanks, and bellies of
all COWS should be brushed and care
fully wiped with a clean, damp cloth.
A small topped milk pail should be
used for milking.
Plenty of hot water, an alkali wash
ing powder, stiff brush, and steam
if possible, furnish the best remedy
for dirty utensils. The utensils should
first be rinsed in cold or lukewarm
water. This should be followed with
a thorough washing, using hot water,
washing powder, and a stiff brush. If
steam is available, it may be used with
the hot water. A brush is much better
for scrubbing the utensils than rags.
A cement or wooden tank for cool
ing milk and cream should be part
of the equipment on every dairy farm.
The large number of bacteria usually
found in market milk when it reaches
the consumer are generally due to the
rapid multiplication which occurs be-
cause the milk is not property cooled
during storage, transportation, and de-
livery. Milk or cream must be cooled
to temperature of so degrees fair
enheit as soon as possible after it is
drawn, if rapid bacterial growth is
to be- prevented Fresh cream should
not be added to previous skimings UNI
til it is thoroughly cooled because the
warmth hastens the souring of whole
mass.
Farmers bulletins on the care of
milk may be obtained by getting in
touch with your county agent OF writ
ing to the Extension Service, Pullman,
Washington.

increase in divorces in years amounts
to 1908 per cent.
On the population bases employed
-1,568000 in 1880 and 1,548,266 in 1929
humber Of marriages per 1000 popu..
lation last year was l1.6 compared
with 1877 in 1929. Number Of divorces
per 1000 of population was 2.79 COM
pared with 2.90.
1t is an interesting sidelight that
marriages increased in several OF the
smaller agricultural counties, while
there were consistently heavy de-
creases in the big populous counties.
In Spokane county there was a de-
crease of IL per cent; in King, 10 per
cent, and in Pierce 8.5 per cent. Con-
versely, there was an increase OF 10
in number of divorces granted III
King and an increase of in Pierce.
Clark county, where Vancouver is
the Gretna Green for Portland and
Oregon couples, easily maintains it's
position as second to King in number
of marriages. Moreover, it registers a
gain, recording 2446 as compared with
1888 in 1929, gain of slightly more
than 5 per cent.
A total of 146 marriage licenses were
issued in Benton county in 1880 as
compared to 1913 in 1929, while di-
vorces ran a dead heat, being an even
20 in each year.

ASPARAGUS-FOOD AND
MEDICINE
(By DR.. Fromk McCoy)

| Asparagus is especially good for those
who are suffering from Dropsy,
Bight's Disease, or rheumatism, since
! the asparagin which it contains has
a stimulating effect upon the kidneys.
1t will often be noticed that those
who are suffering from a too rapid
heart palpitation or from a too rapid
heart beat will have a distinct slowing
of the pulse an hour or two after a
meal containing asparagus. Asparagus
! contains vitamin B and for this reason
is helpful in nerve troubles.
| Asparagus is good for anyone at any
time of the year, as well as being
helpful in the above disorders. This is
the season when it is most plentiful
and most reasonable for using fresh.
At other seasons it will usually be
more economical to purchase aspara-
gus in the canned form. If your fa-
mily cannot afford it at other times,
then be sure to serve it now, when it
is cheapest.
Asparagus contains very important
mineral elements, such as calcium,
iron, phosphorus, sodium, ETC., and
these are the elements which are need
ed for strength and health and for
good teeth and bones.
The spears are a tender, delicious
food which may be green or white.
The best way to cook this appetizing
asparagus is to tie it in punches which
are set in tall cooking vessel and in
boiling water which does not cover the
tips so that the delicate tips do not
boil to pieces. A good plan is to use
a tall coffee or tobacco can and keep
it for this purpose. Cook for Is to 20
minutes, but no longer. When served,
the spears will be tender and soft and
they may be dipped in butter before
being eaten.
Asparagus may be used by those who
want more bulk in the diet in order
to aid the bowels; it should be freely
used by those who are reducing in
weight and are looking for a food
which may be eaten in large guam
titles to satisfy the appetite 1t is
usually relished by children.
Various sizes are canned and it is
possible to buy the choicest tips in
this way. In opening a can of aspara-
gus it is best to open the bottom, as
the tips are always at the top and
when the top is cut the can opener
may injure them. All of the canned
asparagus is hand packed and vacuum
sealed so that the product will come
to the table with it's fresh flavor and
without being crushed too tightly in
the can.
To those of you who feel that you
should "take a tonic" in the spring,
recommend asparagus, which tastes
good and is good, for it contains both
food and medicine in the same green
spears.

SUMMER RABBIT POISONING

Within recent weeks we have had
several calls for summer poisoning of
rabbits in order to protect growing
crops There probably are still many
growers who do not realize that pois-
oning as means of crop protection
can be quite effectively used even dur
ing the summer period when there
usually is plenty of green food for
rabbits.
Judging from the number Of dead
rabbits that one sees along the high
ways the mild winter has done much
to increase the rabbit population Of
the county again. The fact too TINT
we have had several inquiries on con-
troll methods indicates that rabbits
will be rather plentiful another year.
Probably the formula which has
given best results for summer poison
ing for rabbits is the following: Fresh
alfalfa formula: Mix ! OF. strychnine
alkaloid powdered with 70 OF. q tea
spoonfuD saccharine. Prepare 2
quart solution consisting of part
Karo corn syrup and 2 parts of water.
Add the poison mixture to this solu-
ton and mix thoroughly in IL
quart pail. Cut about 20 pounds fresh
alfalfa tops Take a few handfuls of
the alfalfa at time and dip in the
poison solution, stir around and
squeeze out the surplus moisture. Sack
the poisoned alfalfa as fast as pre-
pared and distribute the bait as soon
after mixing as possible. Drop small
handfuls along rabbit trails and near
,~1o
This bait is effective for two nights,
being practically harmless after that
time 1t is advisable to prepare the
poison around p. m. in order that
the alfalfa will be in the freshest
state at the time the animals are feed
ing.
In some cases the following poison
salt formula gives good results and
!. i: very simple to prepare: In some
localities poisoned salt has given good
results during the summer months.
Add / OF. powdered strychnine aka
loid to 16 OF. table salt and stir until
evenly mixed. The poisoned salt mix
ture should be exposed in inch auger
holes bored in 2x4 blocks cut into
IL inch lengths. The holes should be
bored to the depth of 1R inches and
filled with the preparation. The blocks
may be placed in conspicuous loca-
lions along trails with comparative
safety to livestock. Jar lids may also
be used, but they must not be placed
in fields accessible to livestock The
lids can be spiked to the ground with
long nails, or nailed to blocks, so that
the rabbits cannot upset them. All
lids or blocks should be picked up
after poisoning operations are con-
Guided.
Alkaloid strychnine can be pur-
chased through the county agents Of
flee and further information on meth
DDS of poisoning may also be secured
from this source.

OF Interest To Farmers
CELEBRATES FOR WEED CONTROL

The first CELEBRATES to be used in
weed control work was sodium chlor-
ate. This chemical, because of it's
ability to give up oxygen readily, has
sometimes caused danger through a
fire hazard. Material treated with the
chemical will burn very readily when
dry. Weeds sprayed with this chemical
after becoming dry catch fire readily,
and shoes worn in the spraying pro-
cess and then becoming dry occas-
ionally will catch fire due to friction
Of the shoe on gravel when walking
possible that this danger may be
stressed too much yet there is always
possible chance OF serious results
In the use Of It. These should be the
and these washed off following the
weeds sprayed should not be walked
through for some little time following
treatment, say a week to ten days.
Calcium chlorate or atlacide was pre-
pared to overcome this difficulty and
many reports have been made that
so-called calcium chlorate Is sodium
chlorate with another chemical added
to make it attract water and thus re-
duce the fire hazard. Most of the weed
spray work done in this county has
been with calcium chlorate or alta
cide Because it is in dust form
which also can be used In a buster in
making application, fire hazard is un-
doubtedly less with the calcium chlor-
ate or atlacide than with sodium
chlorate.
The above background is given pri-
marily to statement of price differen-
tial on the two chemicals this year.
| Atlacide or calcium chlorate has been
quoted to us at $3.50 per pound per
200 pounds, drum f. o. b. Walla Walla,
which is the nearest distributing
point. Sodium chlorate has been
quoted to us at nine cents per Id.
in 200 pound drums f. o. b. delivery
point. Either one of these materials,
however could be secured from local
dealers in smaller quantities at high
er prices, which of course would be
necessary in giving the local dealers
a margin for handling the material.
1t is probable that the use of two
pounds of sodium chlorate would be
equivalent TO Cne appllcaClOn OF Lnree
pounds of calcium chlorate or alta
eide, at least from all information that
we have been able to get. This would
affect an additional saving.
| The time for treatment of weeds is
rapidly approaching and we feel that
growers having problems of control Of
perennial weeds should be making ar
engagements for their ordering. Neigh
bors could just as well order together
so as to take care of their needs and
in this way possibly cheaper the
cost. The question of which one of
the CELEBRATES should be used will de-
pend on the price differential and the
question as to whether we want to
take extra precautions when using
sodium chlorate. 1t would seem that
with the wide difference this year that
unless it is necessary to work through
