Since the development of the
Pyrethrum concentrates in the
form of liquid material it has been
possible to spray the growing
shoots and thus kill at least many
of the beetles which infest the
patch early in the spring and thus
prevent much of the egg laying.
This spraying with the pyrethrum
concentrates may be followed up
until one stops cutting. Pyrethrum
concentrates are not at all poison
Gus to humans but are contact and
internal poisons for insects.
Since one can go right ahead
and cut after spraying it would
seem that these sprays offer more
in the way Of production during
the cutting season than any other
materials. While the cost is rather
high the dilution of the material
is so great that the acre cost need
not be high; with good equipment
it would seem that it should be
possible to cover an acre with four
and half to five dollars for la
Dor and material. Evergreen"
which we have been stressing for
this use, is one of these pyrethrum
concentrates, but we understand
there are others on the market
now. Esa4i#s.> @ ft
The spraying of the tops follow
ing the cutting season with arsen-
ate of lead still is the standard
method of control later in the sea-
son. r.. y.
Since the advent Of the beetle
in such large numbers in the ter
ritory it would seem advisable to
clean up all the fence rows and
spray plants about the property
and along the road sides. Since
most farms have some asparagus
it would seem that the following
of this program would eliminate
most of the asparagus beetle that
are withoin the cultivated areas.
Where this is not the case then
definite steps should be taken to
take care of these stray plants.

Herd Improvement
Association

association as most generally con-
Quoted, is made up of a group OF
The Dairy Herd Improvement
dairymen who agree to coopera-
lively employ a tester to keep re-
cords Of production, feed costs, in
come above feed, ETC., on each in
dividual cow in their herds. With
this information a dairyman has
a practical foundation for improv-
ing his dairy management.
The first COW testing associa-
ton in this country was formed in
Michigan in 1906 and the growth
has been steady and today there
are 1150 such associations with a
total of over 500,0 600 cows being
tested monthly.
o. E. Reed, chief Of the bureau
of dairy industry said recently,
sMany dairymen are coming to re-
alize the economic fact that high
volume ,of production, produced
efficiently and economically, makes
for low cost per unit Of product
for the consumer and therefore
greater consumption and greater
and better business for this in
dustry."
The dairy cow may be consider
ed feed market. The low produc-
ing cow pays Low price for feed
and the high producing cow pays
q high price. Low cost home grown
feeds fed to low producing cows
invariably results in high cost but
terfat.
The marketing of butterfat is
now a world wide institution and
dairymen in Washington must
compete, not only with the other
states in this country, but with
foreign countries.
With Denmark testing 1880 of
their cows; Netherlands 2O%; Scot
land 1870, it is evident that we
must adopt the more efficient
methods f we are to survive.

Pastures

We recently talked with a farm
er who has been pasturing Is head
of stock on 21s acres of sweet
clover and when he was asked as
to whether pasture did not offer
more in the way of returns thru
his dairy herd than he could get
with any other feed crop, he stat
ed there was no question about
this. It must not be understood,
however, that one is able to pas
ture Is head on two acres and a
half thruout the season, but this
was the second year for this GER
tain piece of sweet clover and in
order to keep it down rather close
previous to its going to bloom he
had put this large number of head
upon it. He has two other pastures
started this spring which will give
him pasturage for the remainder
of the season for his herd. ae+ 50
He follows the practice of feed
ing the cows before they go onto
pasture and being as careful as
possible about seeing that no in
dividual goes on to the pasture
off-feed, as it is the cow which is
rather off-feed, as far as the d.
gestive system is concerned, which
usually is the one to bloat. He has
had no trouble with his sweet clo-
er and even pastures alfalfa with
out trouble. IKE -
1t is not too late yet for the
dairyman to seed down some area
to a pasture crop and since this
reduces the labor in taking care
of the dairy herd to the minimum
and at he same time provides feed
in the natural form for the dairy
animal, it would seem that every
dairyman who has any land which
is at all suitable for pasturage,

Asparagus Beetle
Control

A special attempt has been made
both last year and recently to Sc
cure copies of farmers bulletin
No. 837 "The Asparagus Beetles
and Their Control" This bulletin
however, is out of print at the
present time, but we are in hopes
that there may be some Of these
bulletins scattered over the. state
in extension offices that may be
available little later. "A
The standard insecticide for the
control of the asparagus beetle has
been lead arsenate. The standard
method of control has been control
of the adult beetle during the
growing season following the cut
ting season. In some cases grow
ers have been using the standard
orchard sprayer with the spray
gun, thoroly covering the tops
once or twice during the growing
season and thus poisoning the
large part Of the broods Develop
ed during this time. Apparently,
even with the best of control Sc
cured in his way, there are some
of the insects that get by for re-
of the field the coming
spring. The adult beetle hibernates
during the winter and then comes
out in the spring, feeding up the
young shoots and later laying the
eggs, which starts the life cycle
again. There are several broods
during the year; during favorable
weather the time for a complete
life cycle is four weeks; that is,
beetles may lay eggs, these hatch
into larvae and the larvae change
through the dormant stage to the
adult beetle again.

FEEDING ON PASTURE

The summer months furnish an
abundance of rich pasturage and
cows will always come up in milk
flow when turned onto this feed.
However, there is a tendency to en-
tirely discontinue the feeding of
grain during these months. This
practice does not greatly handi-
cap the Guernsey or Jersey cow
that produces about 20 pounds of
milk daily, or the Holstein or Ayr
shire producing 25 pounds daily.
However for a cow producing over
these amounts the result is a grad
ual pulling down on the body flesh
and vitality of the cow.
Much of the early pasture con-
tains less solids than milk itself,
and it is practically impossible for
a high producing cow to consume
sufficient to keep up her produc-
ton.
Grain rations carrying a low
percentage of protein but consid-
cradle carbohydrates are desirable
for the first half of the pasture
season. The following mixtures are
suggested:
Eighty pounds mill run, 100
pounds ground oats, or 160 pounds
mill run, 100 pounds ground bar
ley, or 100 pounds mill run, 100
pounds ground barley, 100 pounds
ground oats, or 160 pounds mill
run, 100 pounds ground barley, 100
pounds ground corn, 100 pounds
ground oats, % pounds Soy bean
meal. Other mixtures can be pre-
pared for special conditions.
1t is probable that in many Sec
tions as great a loss in production
occurs from poor pasture condi-
tions in summer as from improper
feeding in winter. Poor milk pro-
duction in winter is often the re-
suit Of poor feeding in summer.

Artificial exercise for lazy men and

One Of the major benefits Of exer-
else is to ventilate the body by in
ducing quicker and faster breathing
The same effects are produced, but in
lesser degree, by breathing carbon d.
oxide in its greatest endurable con-
centration for about a quarter of an
hour, it is reported in the Journal of
Physiology by Drs. j. H. Bancroft and
r. A. Magnolia of the physiological

glass compartment where the carbon
dioxide concentration in the atmos-
phere could be controlled.
They found that it was possible for
a person to endure rs per cent con-
centration of this gas for about Is
minutes and that this increases total
body ventilation about one-half as
much as the same period of moderate
exercise. The gas, however, caused
some shock to the system which Is not
