Planned Programs Can
Control Mosquitoes

BY CAREFULLY PLANNING 4
well organized control program now,
Montana communities can rid them
selves of much of the mosquito
nuisance this summer, according to
o. B. Hitchcock, assistant state en-
tomologist at Montana State college.
However, he emphasizes that such
a program to be successful should
be operated on a COMMUNICATIVE
basis.
For most effective mosquito con-
troll Hitchcock outlines three essen
tial steps.
Essential Steps
First, he said, it is necessary to
eliminate as many mosquito breed
ing places as possible. Since this
pest can breed only in water, and
in most cases it must be standing
water, the draining and filling Of
such places will reduce mosquito
numbers. Barrels, buckets, cans, old
tires and other receptacles that may
hold water during the rainy season
are also breeding places for mos
quitoes and a good cleanup CAM
paign will get rid of them.
The second step, Hitchcock rec
ommends, is to treat breeding places
that cannot be drained or filled.
Spraying such places with a 5 per-
cent DOT solution is effective and
requires only a small amount Of
spray and simple equipment.
Step number three is to use q
residual spray to kill adult mosqui-
toes. During bright, sunny days
adult mosquitoes rest in dark, shady
places inside barns, sheds and other
outbuildings. Spraying the inside of
these buildings with a S percent
DOT solution will give good control
and the treatment will be effective
for one or two months.
General Measures
Other measures that may be taken
include the spraying and busting OF
flowers and shrubbery around the
house to kill mosquitoes that rest
in these shady places, and keeping
tall grass and weeds cut short.
The entomology department al
Montana State college, he added,
will be glad to assist communities in
planning a mosquito control CAM
paign.

Losing Butter Battle - Dairymen
are fighting a losing battle in the
butter VS.. margarine controversy
but need not worry too much be-
cause of increasing demand for
whole milk products. DR.. Phil Eek
ert of Bozeman, an economist at
Montana State college, told Montana
dairymen meeting in Helena.
In the prewar period, he said 7.3
pounds of butter was produced for
each pound of margarine. Now the
ratio is 2.3 to /. Last November
and December, for the first time
in history, margarine production
exceeded butter in the United States.
On the other hand, the American
people last year consumed 80 per-
cent more dairy products, excluding
butter, than before the war. Ice
cream showed the greatest gain -
100 percent - because more people
are eating the delicacy and no
longer regard it as only a summer
food.
Wyoming Crop Averages - Crop
acreages to be planted this year by
Wyoming farmers is expected to be
about the same as 1947.
A planting forecast released by
George Knutson, federal-state agri-
cultural statistician indicated a de-
crease in the number of acres planted
for corn, spring wheat, dry edible
beans, and sugar beets.
The department forecast included:
corn, $4,000 acres; spring wheat, IT,
900 acres; oats, $4,000 acres; barley,
1920 acres; hay, 1,115,000 acres;
dry edible beans, $4,000 acres; sugar
beets, $4,000 acres, and potatoes
14,200 acres.
California Cattle TO WYo. - -Four
more permits have been granted al
lowing 80 carloads of livestock from
drought-stricken California to enter
Wyoming.
DR.. G. H. Good, executive officer
of the state livestock and sanitary
board, said two permits covered
shipments of Is and IL carloads O.
cattle respectively from Los Banos
Calf, to Albany county. The othe-
permits, covering n car each, wer'
issued to Wood Lake, Calf, stock
men who took their cattle to Sheri
dan county.
DR.. Good said more than ZOO
head of California cattle have beel
brought into the state so far. Fou
other permits were issued severa
weeks ago.

March cold month - March was
Montana's coolest month, compared
with normal temperatures, since

tana, the report said.
The Montana March average was
1855 degrees, AT below normal. The

NIT on the 10th and climbed to SO

The states precipitation was 30
inch, about .16 inch below normal.
The preceding two months brought
above : normal precipitation so the
moisture is about average for the
first quarter of 1913.
The water supply outlook is "gen-
orally quite favorable" the report
said.
Livestock are in good condition;
feed supplies are running low in
northeastern Montana, and field
work is starting in some parts of
the state.
Heavy kill of winter wheat has
been reported in the lower Milk
river valley, but grain is in good
condition elsewhere. Eastern Mon
tana needs moisture.

tana Turkey federation of Bozeman

ing, is directed by Harvey Eliason,

1ings; E. r. Halbrook, Bozeman; V.
A. Hager, Billings; Paul Mcclure,
Great Falls, and Harriet Cushman
of Bozeman.
Dry range conditions reported -
Stockmen ranging cattle on some
Montana and Wyoming grazing dis
tricts may be h~ard-pressed fol-
stock water this summer, according
to March range condition reports.
Data submitted by district gra-
xiers released by region 3 head
quarters, land management bureau
showed subnormal precipitation in
several districts and little snow dur
ing the winter with water in stock
reservoirs, normally filled by spring
runoffs, dangerously low.
The Montana summary:
District Malta. Western two
thirds of district reported very DIR,
and additional moisture needed t,
start grass. Ninety percent of coy
otes on range were killed during
the winter in a campaign by thu
grazier in cooperation with tn
u. S. fish and wildlife service.
District 2 - Glendive. Area j
very dry with precipitation fo
March below normal. Additions
moisture is badly needed to star
grass. Reservoirs are not filled an
unless heavy rains are received, a
acute shortage of water for stock j
forecast.

THAT neighbor of mine is goin' to
4 to read the label on the 2,4-D
can a little more carefully next year.
He got in a little bit of a hurry n
mornin' when he was mixin' the
chemical for his sprayer and put in
about three times as much as the
instructions called for. He got the
weeds all right but he didn't do the
wheat much good.
II reminded me of the expert
ence Cousin Elmer had one year
when his plum tree was attacked
by some kind of beetle. He got
some high-powered insecticide and
then Just TO be sure to kill the bugs
in a hurry he mixed a solution
four times as strong as the direc-
tions recommended. He was de-
lighted when he found the ground
Uttered with beetles a few hours
later. Next mornin' he wasn't
quite so happy when he found
some of his chickens dead unde
the tree from eatin' the bugs.
About a week later the tree died.
Dogie johnson always enjoys goin'
to the stockgrowers' convention. He
says it's a pleasure to associate with
a bunch of two-fisted gentlemen in
telligent enough to think the way
he does or public questions but not
too dignified to stoop to a little
wholesome conviviality. When he
was on his way home he and his
ulcers had a serious meetin' of the
minds and decided that the party
of the first part should make about
a so percent reduction in convivial-
ity at the 1949 convention.
Protein Pete is convinced il is
still true that there's nothin' sure
except death and the necessity OF
film an income tax return. Even
if he should have a crop failure
next year he'd have TO pay a tax
on the income from the wheat he
is carrYin' over for that very emer-
gencY. He says he sometimes thinks
he's raisin' the wrong crop. The
fellow who grows somethin' perish
able like string beans or straw
berries doesn't have to lie awake
nights trYin' TO outfigure the tax
man. He has TO sell the durn things
when they're ripe.
There are so many retired farmer:
