CUT WORM AND ASPARAGUS
BEETLE CONTROL WORK

The formula is the one which
has been recommended to aspara-
gus growers in the past and it has
been found to be very effective In
cutworm control:
Coarse wheat bran, Is pounds.
Salt, 1-2 pound.
White arsenic or paris green, l
pound.
Sirup or brown sugar or mo-
lassas, / pint.
Water to make crumbly mash.
The dry ingredients are first
thoroughly mixed and the water
and strip added. If too much water
is used the mash will be sloppy and
hard to scatter. The material
should be just wet enough so that
it will fall apart readily after be-
ing pressed together in the hands.
A half barrel, a large tub, or a
water-tight box makes good re-
ceptacle in which to mix small
quantity of bait.
The above formula will make
enough bait to cover approximate
" one acre. In order to get good
results the bait should be spread
as late as possible in the evening
right along the rows. It one bait
ing does not clean up the situation
follow with successive treatments
until cut worms have been clean
ed up. Be sure however, that dam
age is being caused by cutworms
rather than asparagus beetle lar
va before applying too much OF
the bait.
Asparagus beetles in the adult
and grub stage may be found feed
ing upon the tops of the aspara-
gus. The insect lays eggs upon the
young shoots of asparagus. These
then hatch out into the larva which
Immediately attacks the growing
shoots.
Control for the asparagus beetle
beetle will be either the allowing
. of an occasional plant to grow to
maturity and keeping it well

Mr.. Durdle, in commenting on
the work done by the boys, empha-
sized the fact that this group of
boys were in only their second year
of club work when they won third
place at the Pacific international
Livestock show last fall and first
place for the State of Washington.
The large part of the credit for the
showing made by the boys must
be given to the boys. They care
fully planned their program for the
year, planned for the individual
judging meetings and made a spec
ial effort to be present at each one
of these as they we're planned.
Their work was so organized
that when they wanted help from
the county agent they called on him
for some specific service and when
given this then went on with their
program. It has been q real pleas
ure to work with this group be-
cause Of the initiative that they
have shown.
This group is all signed up for
club work for the present year and
one other older boy has joined the
club which will make some real
keen competition on placement on
the judging team this year. The
boys are going out after real
place in the future contest as well
as the Pacific international for an
other season.

HOME GROWN FOODS
SAVE FAMILIES $500
Living Cost of 80 Farm Families
for 1881 Average $3.50 Per
Family; Food $191

Living costs of 38 typical farm
families representing both eastern
and western Washington were re-
duced over $500 per family DUR
ing 1881 through the extensive use
of food produced at home, accord
ing to a careful analysis of FAM
lily expenditures by the Extension
Service, Washington State Col
lege. Complete records of house
hold expenditures were kept un-
der the supervision of home DEM
onstration agents in the respective
counties. The average number in
each family Of the survey was "A
individuals and the total household
cash expenditures averaged 1890
for the year.
Food purchases for the year
averaged $191 per family. Each
family produced some food at
home. Poultry. a home garden, q
cow or cows, canning and storing
of vegetables, homegrown beef
and pork, selective buying and the
use of home-milled cereals all con-
tributed toward keeping the cash
food expenditures at minimum
in the different families.
Clothing was the next most ex-
pensive item, averaging 1920 per
family. Remodeling clothing, home
dry cleaning, making clothing at
home and careful buying were
pointed out as vitality important in
curtailing this expenditure. One
QUESTIONABLE revealed that rs per-
cent of the farm women made all
or part of their house dresses at
home. Forty-fixe percent prefer
red to buy dresses for better wear
ready-made, AZ percent sewed
well enough to make their own,
and Is percent made part and
bought part of their better wear
dresses. The farm homemakers
purchased on the average six pair
of cotton hose at 81 cents per pair
and 5.3 pair silk hose at S1.10 per
pair during the year.
The average expenditures for
other expenditures for other items
were listed as follows:
Automobile, $92; operating ex-
penses, $S4; development, $s3;
housing $82; furnishing and
equipment S73; health $43; person
al expenditures sgt; and savings,
$133. Keeping buildings well
painted, floors and floor coverings
in good repair, substituting wood
for coal where feasible and saw
inng on soap by softening of wa
ter were suggested as means OF
keeping operating expenses at a
minimum.
Farm women interested in keep
ing accounts or wishing a more

vey, are asked to write to the Ex-
tension Service, Pullman, Wash

More Rail Workers
Fired From Jobs BY
Railroad Companie:

There were II per cent fewer

Der than the month previous and
16 per cent fewer than in October
1880 the Interstate Commerce
Commission reports. Employment
in October amounted to 1,225, 1893
or a reduction of 108,421.
The latest available figures for
train and engine service are those
for the middle of September which
show that there were 238, 028 men
employed in this group, a decrease
of 4,736 from the previous month
and of 40,846 from the same
month in 1880.
Figures recently presented show
that there has been a steady
growth of chronological unemploy-
ment among rail workers. Thirty
three per cent fewer employees
are necessary to handle the same
amount of traffic than 20 years
ago. Less than so per cent of the
workers necessary to the industry
today are assured of continuous

this is the fact that on the collec-
tives we have at present, among
the socialized farm stock, 1.3 mill
ion cows. If we succeed in solving
the problem so far as these 1.3
million cows are concerned-pro-
viding heated stalls and suitable
feed for them-we shall be able
to increase our milk production
greatly within the present year.
In order to emphasize the urg-
ency of our feed program, shall
refer to a few further examples.
The Hog Breeding Trust requires
approximately five million acres
for growing succulent fodder
plants which cannot easily be brot
from the outside, and for the or
ganization of pasture lands. The
Cattle Breeding Trust requires, if
1t is to increase its stock to ten
million head by the last year of
the Plan, up to 125 million acres,
chiefly in newly opened districts.
One-haf Of this land is needed as
pasture and about one-third as
meadow land for hay production.
Besides that, the Cattle Breeding
Trust must utilize the uncultivat-
ed tracts of land belonging TO the

the realization of the program of
the "agrominium." "a minimum
program of improvements to be
introduced in agricutlure.-Ed.)
The program for the improve
ment Of meadows and pastures is
not complicated; the cattle are to
be sent out to pasture one week
later and brought back one week
earlier than at present; the entire
pasture is not TO be grazed bare
at once, but in strips; weeds are
to be removed, if only by the most
primitive methods; marshy pas
lures to receive the most neces-
sary drainage, fertilizers (potash)
must be used, and narrowing prac-
ticed; there must be division of the
pastures for various kinds of ami
mals-all measures demanding no
great expense and which can be
carried out in very short time.
IF we undertake this program in
its entirety, if we tackle it with
the same energy and determine
ton with which we are solving
the grain problem, and if we work
for its accomplishment despite all
difficulties, without shrinking be-

It is very easy 20 say: LET US
double our milk supply by giving

orly question is, at whose expense

hogs is the sarls. Unfortunately
there are still MANY among us
who believe thai the hog does not

age for itself. Perhaps at the
present time it will; but It is not
on this basis that we shall solve
the meat problem.
What, then, is our program ?
The Institute for Livestock Breed
ing has calculated that in order to
double our consumption of meat
and milk we shall nave to increase
the fodder resources of our coun-
try by about 500. The essential
point of this task is tina this in
crease does not mean that we are
simply to add to the tens of mill
ions of pounds of straw at our dis
posal still another 500 of the

receive sufficient roughage, so

more than two-thirds of our feed
consists of hay, straw, chaff, etc.,
while a "meat- and milk yielding
machine" if it is to work produc-
lively, must receive at least two
thirds concentrated food. There
fore, the solution of the problem
of doubling the production of meat
and milk is not simply a matter
of providing so much more fodder
but of insuring increased nutri-
men IN the form of proper kind
of feed.
And this means that the whole
Five Year Plan of agricultural de-
velopment must be so revised as
to secure at least an additional 100
million acres for fodder plants.
How are these 100 million acres
best to be utilized? In the grain

VIII Get Together
In Van Bus kirk

Van Buskirk, Wis, Jan. "A
get-together of farmers. will be
called under the auspices of the
United Farmers League function
ing in nearby towns at the Town
Hall at Van Buskirk, Wis, Jan.
1882, at 100 o'clock P. M.
Farmers are invited to discuss
various problems of today's farm
ing such as taxation, etc. We all
realize that the farmers in our
community are confronted with
che problems of unemployment. In
previous years by working for
lumber sets they have been able
20 secure finance with which they
have been able to meet their taxes
due and interest on heavy mort
cages.
This winter there has been lit
tie or no work available for the
farmers. At Long Lake lumber
camps are operating at meagei
wages where our men are work
ing long hours a day for the sum
of $1,000 per month. 1t is clear
to see that with this much Of ar
Income for the workers, the farm
ers will not be able to meet will
the payment of their taxes anC
the interest due besides buyins
clothing and shoes for the child
rem still attending school.
Farm products such as eggs ant
cream too are way below TIL
price that it costs US to produc'
them.
An attempt was made tw
months ago to hold meeting a
this said Town Hall which wa
well attended, but the farmer
seemed hesitant. But, brothers
/ let us make this meeting NOR
successful one and have the farm
ers appoint a Committee of Actio
for the Town of Oma. Let us dis
cuss how we can obtain reduC
ton in taxes and interest for tn
time being that we are so hard u
with daily living necessities.
Our daily conversations wit
fellow farmers are in every wa
indications that something mus
he done to relieve the poor farm
lers of the heavy burden he is con
PEELED to carry on his shoulder
from day to day. Only throug
organizing and mass moveme1
will we be able to secure some el
Ilightenment to a better future fl
