Poison fo rSage Rats

An efficient and comparatively
cheap method of control of the
sage rat is the poison method us
ing poison oats as put out by the
bureau of Biological survey and
handled thru the drug stores of
the county and the county office.
This bait is especially prepared
after years of experience in work
ing with this particular rodent and
should give maximum results if
properly used.
Poisoning of the sage rat should
not commence if one wants to Sc
cure best results until after at
least the large majority of the
rats have emerged from hiberna-
ton. Poison bats spread early
will undoubtedly get the sage rats
which are out at that time, but the
fact that more sage rats are con-
stantly coming out leads the grow
er to feel that the poison is not
getting results. 1t also makes it
necessary to cover the ground

Because of the fact that fishoil
is hard to remove with acid
washes it has been pointed out that
this spreader should not be used
late in the season and some who
have tried it are opposed to its
use at all because of difficulty Of
removal
While the results tend to show
that orchard brand seems to be
less effective than other brands
yet growers of the county have
pointed out that they have been
able to secure very good results
with this spreader Let us reiter-
ate again the statement made ut
the hort school that method and
time of application seem to be
much more important than til e
brand of lead used. Thoroughncss
of application, probably is the key
to successful moth control.
Since company's manufacturing
leads have had quite a little time
to make adjustments since Mr..
Spuler's report was made avail
able, we would also suggest that
one follow closely the recommends
tions of the companys manufactur-
ing the product you purchase.

Trap Pocket Gophers

Several farmers have inquired
as to the feasibility of poisoning
pocket gophers this spring. There
is only a short time in the spring
when the pocket gopher is apt to
take poison bats and for this rea-
son poisoning of the pocket goph-
son poisoning of the pocket goph-
er is not usually recommended in
the spring. Trapping has been
found to be much more satisfac-
tory for spring and summer con-
troll. Either the little MaccaDee
trap or the California box trap
has proven very satisfactory from
comments we have had from a
number of growers thruout the
county.
gopher is not diff123456 Jqlloa
The trapping of the pocket
gopher is not difficult procedure
if the habits Of the pocket gopher
are clearly understood and his sys-
tenn of making burrows is under
stood. If farmers in any particular
district are having considerable
trouble with gophers the county
agent would be glad to work with
the group demonstrating proper
methods of setting of the traps SO
that practically one hundred pei
cent control may be secured.

Factors Affecting
Poultry Profits

A new bulletin on timely eco
nomic information on the poultry
enterprise has just been received
and copies mailed to a number of
poultrymen of the county. For
those who did not receive this bull
letin the following summary will
give some idea as to some of the
Information which it contains. Any
one deeply interested in receiving
a copy may write the county ag-
emit and the few additional copies
will be given out as requested.
From a study of 145 poultry
flocks for the year 1881 it was
found that the average flock was
made up of $40 hens and pullets.
The pullets averaged 1875 each,
while the hens produced an aver
age of LAP eggs, making the yearly
average lay per bird 1877. This
looks like mark worth shooting
at.
A flock securing over so fall egg
production made higher labor in
come for the owner than flocks
failing to get a good fall lay. Fall
egg lay means well reared pullets
free from chronic coccidiosis and
worms.
One successful flock of 1905
hens and pullets had an everage
production of zoos eggs per bird
with a labor income of s1.01 per
bird for the year. Careful analysis
of this statement will show why
many of our small flocks are dis
appointing to the owner.
Market eggs made 82.5 per cent
of the income and feeding SO per
cent of the cash expense. The net
cost per dozen eggs for the 145
flocks was 1863 without figuring
labor. The average labor income
per bird was 37c as compared to
$1.01 for the 1905 hen and pullet
flock. Hen flocks are profitable
when properly managed.
Losses in income were largely
caused by low egg lay, poor man.
agement of old hens, high mortal
ity, poor fall egg lay, few pullets
raised for replacement, lack of
proper culling, disease and per-
centage of hens in laying flock.
Improvement of egg grades has
helped many poultrymen secure a
better income.

OATS AND BARLEY
PRICES GO UPWARD
Trend of Both Grains has Been Up
ward Since September-Both
Increased in State

During the past year the farm
price of oats in Washington rang
ed up to eight cents higher than
the average price for the United
States From September to the
present time the tendency of the
price of oats has been upward in
Washington. Oats production in
Washington increased in acreage
from 1929 to 1881 from $4,000
acres to 158, 900. The crop for 1881
was estimated at 7,742,000 bushels
In Washington which was less than
one per cent of the United States
production.
Prices of barley in Washington
ranged from one to nine cents
above the average farm prices for
the United States The tendency
for barley prices has been to rise
in Washington from September to
the present time There has been a
small increase in the acreage Of
barley in Washington from about
$4,000 acres in 1929 to $4,000 in
1881. Production has increased at
about the same rate Barley pro-
duction in 1881 was 100,000,000
bushels less than in 1880 in the
United States. This decreased pro-
duction undoubtedly is responsible,
In part, for the advance in prices
during the last few months.

Various Arsenates in
Combination Spray.

AT the time of the horticultural
schools in January we promised
fruit growers of the county that
upon receipt of proceedings Of the
washington State Horticultural
Association we would give them a
summary of Mr.. Spulers findings on
the various leads alone and in
combination. This article is to sup
ply this information. It will not
cover all brands of lead but only
those which were mentioned by Mr..
Spuler for articles.
Settling tests conducted upon the
various leads showed that Corona
settled out the most rapidly, Sher-
man Williams next, Orchard next;
and Dow and Grassailli the next.
The amount of arsenic in the upper
layer with Corona was about one
third that Of Dow or Grasailli.
When these same leads were used
with a spreader and the type Of
spreader used was the new Fluxit,
the Corona then showed a larger
amount of Arsenic than any other
with Sherman Williams next. Or
chard was improved somewhat, but
the spreader and Dow very little
with Grasailli showing no improve
ment. This would indicate that it
would be very much worth while
to use Fluxie type of spreader with
Corona and Sherman Williams or
even with Orchard and that would
hardly be worth while with the
Dow and Grasailli
Based upon studies made as to
worm entries per 100 apples the
following information was given.
Orchard brand gives best re-ults
when combined with fishoil (liq-
uid) or mineral oil; Dow best re-
suits when combined with spread
er or mineral oil; Ortho better re-
suits when combined with spread
er than when used alone and Cor
ona best results when combined
with fish oil emulsified or liquid
will give very good results when
combined with mineral oil.

WHEAT ACREAGES
FOR WASHINGTON
STILL INCREASING
Price of Wheat for 1892 Will Be
Governed by General Price
Level and Size of National
and World Crop
This is one of the series off
1892 farm outlook articles)
(being released by the agri-)
Cultural extension service)
(and college of agriculture off
washington State College)

All wheat in the State of Wash
ington followed the world trend,
has steadily increased in acreage
since 1926, there being 100000
acres more wheat in 1881 than in
1926. Winter wheat acreage was
less in 1880 than in either 1929
or 1881, but spring wheat was
greater. The acreage of winter
wheat sown in the state of Wash
ington in the fall of 1881 for the
1882 crop was estimated by the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture at 1,243,O00 acres, which
is reduction Of IL per cent from
the acreage sown in the fall Of
1880. As is usually the case, the
spring planting of wheat in Wash
ington will be greater in 1892 than
In 1881 because of the decrease in
winter wheat and probable favor
able conditions for spring wheat.
Prices of wheat of the 1882 crop
will be governed by the general
tendency of the price level, which
may be up from the present de-
preston by the time that crop is
marketed, and by the size of the
crop in the United States and the
world. So far as the United States
is concerned, if no more than one
half as much wheat were produc-
ed in 1892 as in 1881, there would
still be sufficient supplies to meet
the requirements of the United
States.
Wheat growers situated with
equipment and other facilities for
the efficient production of wheat
will probably find it necessary and
to their advantage, particularly on
good land to continue the wheat
business the coming year and add
such sidelines and supplementary
enterprises as require limited
amounts of capital outlay.
Some wheat producers in the
more humid areas may seed sweet
clover to be used as a green crop
the following year. This will in
crease soil fertility, maintain or
ganic matter and decrease erosion.
Those who have livestock may use
the. clover for either pasture or
hay, as well as soil builder.
Sweet clover seed is compara-
lively low in price Some rough land
and hill tops may be seeded to
sweet clover to prevent the weed
growth and be used for pasture
to eliminate areas Improbable for
wheat production.
No big sudden shifts in the bet
ter wheat areas is likely to give
satisfactory results On the other
hand losses appear probable on the
poorer lands where the average
yield is low unless better than av-
erage yields are made Present in
dications point to no material adj
vances in price IL Europe or some
of the larger wheat exporting
countries have short crop in 1892
price advances are likely.

again with the bait. If the bats
are distributed after the majority
of the sage rats have come out
one should be able to get almost
one hundred per cent control.
The poison grain has been brot
to the lowest price possible this
year in order to make it worth
while for farmers suffering dam
age from sage rats to use the
poison in a clean up campaign.
Ten pound sacks will retail at 75c,
and 25-pound sacks at S1.75. At
these figures growers should not
allow rats to do much damage to
the irrigated crops where they Of
ten do much damage to melons,
potatoes and other small crops.

STOCKS STEAD|ER
|. AS MARKET CLOSES
Tax Selling and Evening Up
of Accounts Influence
Price Trend.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 27.-Heavy
up to the last hour, today's stock
market hardened toward the close and
left of with mixed price changes.
Late firmness looked like short cover
ing in anticipation of the approaching
termination of tax selling.
Brooklyn Union Gas. Air Reduction
and Allied Chemical were off a point or
more. but most of the list held within,
fractional limits. The market did not
estapllsh trend nor did it give any
indication OF breaking out OF the trad
ing range.
American Can declared the regular
quarterly dividend of 81 a share on
Ine common stock just before the close,
but took no action on the 81 extra
usually declared at the end OF the year.
The two-day holiday brought no
change IN the business situation for the
market to appraise. The Armour annual
report. emphasizing as it did the effect
on inventories of lower commodity
prices, was encouraging bit had nc
effect on stocks. Quotations fer staples
were UNCHANGED ct around thsir recent
low. The b2st that could he said was
that prices were steady even if they
showed no rallying power.
The market opened slightly higher
but soon lost the gain and dragged
along, with the averages under Satur-
days close. The covering movement in
progress on that day was not continued
Among the few relatively weak spots
were the tobaccos, selling In which was
still inspired by talk Of price reductions
in cigarettes. American Tobacco B was
of nearly points and the others were
down more or less. In the railway list
Delaware & Hudson and Reading lost a
point. Most OF the carriers were ofi
fractionally Eastman Kodak reacted
about point and Detroit Edison cams
down on a small turnover.

COMMODITIES URGED
AS DEBT PAYMENTS
Reserve Board Member Believes
Raw Materials Should Be Used
to Settle Obligations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Payment of debts with commodities,
as a means for the immediate and
concrete relief to agriculture, is advo-
Gated by George r. James, member Of
the Federal Reserve Board, in a signed
article appearing in the January issue
of National Sphere.
Mr. James sees in such report
method of avoiding the dangerous and
ineffective system of loans and gifts by
public agencies. and suggests that a
general movement be inaugurated for
creditors, individual, corporate and
governmental, to accept for limited
time payment-in-kind on designated
obligations at designated price. The
article declared, in part:
I'm order to accept products in pay
ment for debts and taxes, If the number
of money symbols were fixed for the
present value of the products as those
products could be currently exchanged
for, no relief would be experienced,
but If the products be arbitrarily valued
at the cost of production with small
amount added and credit given therefor
on debts and taxes, the relief would be
immediate and tremendous"
