GRAssHOPPER CONTROL

Several requests for grasshop-
per control have come to the coun-
ty agriculture agent. These re-
quests cover information for such
information for such crops as as
paragus, raspberries, strawberries,
lettuce and etc.
Where the grass hoppers are
feeding upon crop such as the
mature asparagus it is probably
that as good a method of control
as any would be the spray of the
tops with arsenate of lead at the
rate of pounds to the 100 gal
Ions. This recommendation was
recently mentioned to us by DR..
Webster following a letetr of in
quiry on this point. Some who
have tried this out, however, re.
port that they still have plenty of
grasshoppers. Whether this is due
to constant new supply of grass
hoppers coming in from outside or
whether grasshoppers may be
feeding on other material than the
poison crop we cannot say. 1t may
be well to check this and if the
spray which is a cheap method of
control, if satisfactory, is not con-
trolling the pest then to try the
poison bait it will be almost nee
essary to use for crops where the
product cannot be sprayed as it is
to be consumed. KS I'll.
The poison bait for control of
the grasshoppers should be prepar-
ed from the following material and
as follows: ~
Wheat bran, 25 pounds
Paris Green of White Arsenic,
pound.
Lemons or oranges, 6 finely
chopped, pealing and all, and a low
grade of molasses as possible, 2
quart; water, a gallons. The bran
and Paris green or white arsenic
should be thoroughly mixed when
dry. The chopped lemon or orange
should then be mixed with the dry
ingredients. We think it would then
be best to add the 2 quart of mol
lasses to gallons of water and
mix this with the dry ingredients
and the whole thoroughly kneaded.
A coarse-flaked bran is most de-
sirable. The remaining water
should be added if necessary to just
make crumbly mash. This for
best results should be spread over
the area to be poisoned, during tine
late afternoon or early evening.
This amount of bran should be

RAGWEED AND HAYFEvER

The office of the county agent
has just received several copies by
request of leaflet issued under
date of June 1888 on "How to Con-
troll Ragweed, The Principal Cause
Of Autumn Hay Fever" This bull
letin has been distributed to sup
erintendents of schools in all of
the larger communities of the
couny. Since ragweed is making
its appearance in the county here
and there we are going to suggest
that hay fever sufferers in the
county should look up this bulle-
tin and if they can identify the
weeks shown in cuts on the front
cover as weeds prevalent in the
community then we would suggest
that some community action be
taken to control this week.
According to the leaflet this is
one of the principal causes Of

WHEAT FARMERS SHOULD
APPLY IMMEDIATELY

ANY wheat farmer of the coun-
ty who has not already made his
application for contract under the
wheat adjustment plan should do
so at the very first opportunity.
In and near the Kennewick area
we would be glad to have farmers
interested in making the applica-
ton visit the office of the county
agent during the forenoon. For
those who live further away from
oKennewick and not wishing to
make a trip to the office We will
say that if you will Immediately
drop us line that you are inter-
ested we shall arrange a meetig
time for the Prosser. community
with those interested when they
may get together. The stenog-
rapher will be at the office each
morning and will be able to fill
out the application blanks as the
farmers come in. The regular
stenographer in the office does not
take care of these applications.
Hence the need of stopping in at
the office during the forenoon
when the half-time stenographer
working on wheat program alone
will be in.
Before coming to the office,
work out the wheat acreage and
the yield for each year, 1930-31-32
for each separate piece of land
under different ownership. This
means that if you own land this
will come under one contract. If
you are renting from three differ
ent landlords, each one of these
pieces. providing the landlord will
sign with you, will come under a
separate contract. The acreage and
yield for each piece must be filled
out on each separate contract.
Alsto we must have the acreage
seeded to wheat or rye and acre
age summer fallowed on each sep
arate piece. Acreage and yields
should be as accurate as possible
as these statements will be pub
lished in the local paper to be
checked by other wheat growers
in the county, before the alot-
ment committee works out the fin
al allotment.

LETTUCE FERTILIZATION

Several requests have been made
on the county agent for informa-
ton on fertilization of fall let
tuce. In the first place we may
say that to date there has been
little evidence to show that any
other element of fertilization is
needed than nitrogen and phos-
phorus. Results at the experiment
station at Prosser indicate that
manure is the best fertilizer from
the standpoint of weight of heads.
This probably is due to the fact
that we have in the manure a slow
acting fertilizer rather than some
thing that is Immediately avail
able as well as a material that as
sists in improving of the physical
condition of the soil. It has been
the general recommendation for a
number of years that ground on
which a good crop has been turn
60 under or on to which a heavy
application of manure has been
made for an early potato crop

1t may take from / to 5 days of
the full effects of the bait to be-
come apparent so do not expect
results too soon. White arsenic is
much better bait for insects of
this kind than is arsenate of lead
and if arsenate of lead is used it
must be used in double the amount
of arsenic or Paris green.
Remember this poison bait is
poisonous to anything eating it
and care should be taken that the
poultry, cats and dogs cannot pick
it up while it is moist or fresh.

STATE DRAWS
PLAN To AID
UNEMPL PLOYED

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 7. up -
Detailed plans for putting 5000 ad-
ditional men to work this winter
/ neared completion in the state de-
partment of public works today as
letters were prepared for mailing to
mayors. commanders of American
Legion posts and prominent bust
ness men of cities throughout the
/ state.
Earl Lee Kelly, public works di-
! rector, said his department hoped to
reach family men, particularly tax
/ payers with dependents who, be-
/ cause they own small bits of proper
/ ty. are not eligible to receive aid
from relief agencies.
we can't hope to relieve the
whole unemployment situation, he
said. so We aim TO provide some
aid to as many as possible reSpon-
sible men with dependents. We cam
not include INDECENT charity cases ir
this highway maintenance relief
work"
In an effort to provide part time
employment for the NEST deserving
persons, the department will call
upon a diversity of sources for re-
concentrations. Names OF 500 needy
men will be obtained from members
OF the highway commission, who
come in contact with numerous cases
where aid is cought. Members Of the
legislature will be asked to furnish
500 or 600 names. Five hundred will
be allotted to the governors office,
which receives many direct appeals
for help. One thousand will be ham
died by the department of public
works, through supervisors, and
$500 men will be placed through re-
commendation of mayors, COM
manders of Legion posts and busi-
ness men or chambers of commerce.
To Work On Roads
This system, Kelly believes, will
result in work being spread fairly
and widely.
Men chosen for the highway
maintenance jobs will be employed
five days on alternate weeks. Their
pay will be $40 per day, averaging
around S45 a month.
They will work, generally. on roads
which were added to the state high
way system by the last legislature.
Each man will be employed in the
county in which he lives, and the
vcrk done will be a part Of the reg
ularly- planned highway mainten-
ance.
Including the 5000 to be employ
ed on or about December +, the state
department Of public works will
have a total of $1,000 men working
by Christmas.
This department alone will be re-
lieying about y per cent Of the un-
employment in the state" Kelly
said.

ers which resulted in much infor-

imously voted to make certain price
recommendation to the distribut-
ers. who in turn, by unanimous
action. tentatively accented the

lished within Q day or SO.
The result of such stabilization
of prices will be to make basic
