by Walter L. Click

Some of you probaly read in
the local paper about the farm
labor situation. Some changes
have already been made on this
and it is necessary to postpone the
meeting originally called for jan
uary 8. The State Farm Labor
supervisor is called to Salt Lake
at that time and will probably
have more definite information
regarding the Mexican labor deal.
Farmers, growers professors,
Gamers, schools and chambers
of commerce are being asked to
sit in on this meeting and will be
notified accordingly.
I don't suppose it is necessary
to remind you that if you plan
to raise chicks next year, orders
should be sent to your hatchery
men as early as possible. An
other point to bear in mind is to
order chicks from reliable hatch
cries known to have disease free
stock. A few cents more per
chick for good chicks is much
better investment than to get
cheaper chicks which might be
diseased.
Poultry diseases and parasites
are commonly spread from older
poultry to younger stock by con-
tact or through manure or equip
ment. Starting with a new flock
each year largely offsets this dam
ger. Z ..--......

extension agent has full informa-
ton on treatment methods for
both dairy and beef herds.
Right after the first of the year
you, no doubt, will receive a visit
from the census enumeration. ]
should like to urge you to realize
that these enumeratorS are doing
a real service to agriculture. The
amount of good to be derived will
depend upon the accuracy and
completeness of your answers.
There is nothing personal about
these questionnaires and the iden-
tity of the individual is never re-
vealed. Only by an intelligent
survey can agriculture know its
situation, trends, and economic
position. A great many questions
will be answered both locally and
nationally. For instance, how
many farms are in Benton county,
what size farms, how many acres
of grapes, asparagus, and fruit
trees. A whole group of ques-
tons are answered. How does
Benton county compare with other
areas? How many acres in grapes
in Ohio, New York or Pannsyl-
vania? What is the trend of this
or that crop, or farm enterprise?
So you sect is important. Let's
do a good job of reporting when
the census taker comes around
Since this is the last issue of
your local paper before the New
Year, we wish you Happy Vic
torious Year and pledge the ex-
tension service to serve you to its
maximum for the year 1915.
Sincerely, Walter L. Click, coun-
ty agent; Gladys K. Bolon, home
economics agent.

the fall months when egg prices
are relatively high. Most yearling
hens are melting instead of being
in good lay at that time. Then
too, the average pullet generally
lays 81 to SO more eggs in a
year than does a yearling or older
hen of the same breeding.
Dairymen and beef cattle pro-
ducerS are becoming more and
more to realize the importance of
cattle grub control. Other names
for the cattle grub are the heal
fly and OK MARBLE. Now is the
time to make plans for the con-
troll program for this season, says
Laurel G. Smith, extension ento-
mologist at the state college of
Washington. Treating for cattle
grub control is simple, quick and
inexpensive, Smith declares. In
treating dairy cattle and small
beef herds, the wash method is
probably most practical. The wash
is made by mixing IL ounces
of powdered derris or cube root
containing S percent rotenone)
and 2 ounces of soap in one gal
lon of warm water.
A quart friction-top tin can
having a few holes punched out
ward through the lid and fiber
bristled curry brush are all that
are needed to apply it. The wash
is sprinkled on the back of the
animal and thoroughly scrubbed
in with the brush. One gallon
will treat approximately II to
Is head. ........- -
The first application should be
made 20 to Is days after the. first
grubs reach the backs of the ami
mails, and should be repeated at
one-month intervals as long as
new grubs appear. The object
is to force the demonstrating
wash into the holes cut in the
skin of cattle by the grubs. This
kills the grubs while they are
still small.
In some cases a dry dust treat
ment may be preferred. This
dust is prepared by mixing equal
parts Of rotenone powder (con-
tanning five per cent rotenone)
and wet-table sulfur. The dust
mixture is sprinkled on the back
of the animal by using a can
similar to that for the wash.
While shaking on the powder
rub the animals back gently
with the hand to sift the powder
down through the hair. This
treatment may not be too effect
i've on animals with particularly
heavy coats, or if the hair is
wet.
Large herds of beef cattle can
be treated by dunking the ami
mails in dipping watts containing
demonstrating mixture, or
spraying on the wash with an
orchard sprayer. Your county
