This past week as I was going
down the valley I passed feed
year. A number Of the cattle
were rubbing themselves and l
began to wonder whether they
were trying to get rid OF the old
hair or if they were being both
cred with lice. 1t occurred to me
that this is the time that a num-
Der of our cows and heifers on
the farms in Benton county
should be treated for cattle grubs.
Also there are a number of beef
animals which will be sold this
year that have grubs in their
backs. With the dropping of the
price for live beef, we find now
that buyers are becoming more
choosey and are docking animals
which have grubs,
Early spring is the best time
to treat cattle for grubs. This
is the time of year that the grubs
mature and if they are not treated
they work out of the back OF
the animals, fall TO the ground and
develop into heel flies which
cause the cattle to run about

to. the amount required for pro-
duction.
Farmers who are planning to
establish a new pasture this year
should be careful to see that the
seed bed is firm before planting.
They should be careful In selec-
ton of seeds to see that the seed
is free from weeds. Generally 1t
is advisable to seed the legumes
and round grass separately from
the flat seeds as the round seeds
have a tendency to work their
way to the bottom Of the seeder
and the last part of the seeding
will be only of the flat seeds.

Way TO Attack Wireworms
Farmers plagued by wireworms
are reminded that plow-time is
often a good time to take action.
Use of ethylene dibromide,
which Extension Entomologist
David H. Brannon of Washington
State college advises, is the most
efficient soil fumigant yet found
for the control of wireworns in
irrigated areas of the west coast.
Ethylene dibromide is a heavy
liquid which, when applied to
the soil, evaporates to form a
gas that permeates the soil and
is highly poisonous to wireworms.
The commercial product is sold
ordinarily in solution with a light
soil, and contains either 20 or 40
percent of ethylene dibromide by
weight. The 20 percent material
is used at the rate of 20 gallons
to the acre and the 40 percent
material at half the rate, although
in extremely heavy soils the

the range or pastures. There are
three choices for controlling these
grubs. That is, You may dust
the animals, spray the animals
or dip them. Spray has been the
most universally used in Benton
county. Complete information on
mixture of rotenone can be secur-
ed from the county agents office,
or if you buy packaged material
from an insecticide dealer, in
structions are on the package.
PROTECT YOUR PASTURE
Many farmers in Benton
county have used the last Of
their hay supply and are very
anxious to get their stock on
pasture. / think that farmers
are making a mistake if they place
their animals on pasture before
the grass has grown sufficiently
to have something more than just
water in il. This will mean that
the grass should be from 4 to 6
inches high before the cattle are
turned into the pasture. Expert
ments have been made which
give results showing that the
pasture will have a much higher
carrying capacity and that dairy
cattle will produce better If the
pastures are allowed to develop
well before the stock is turned
onto. them. Actually, early pas
ture is very succulent crop and
dairy cows will continue to pro-
duce well if they are turned on
to pasture which has not matured
sufficiently to give nutrients equal

dosage should be slightly increas-

dosage should be slightly increaS-
ed.
One thorough, timely applica.
ton, should prevent damage by
wireworms for two seasons. He
advises that ethylene dibromide,.
even in diluted form, is poison.
Gus to man and animals, and q
few precautions should be OBJ
served.
In addition, ethylene dibromide
retards the termination OF seed
and affects the newly sprouted
seedlings. 1t also has adverse
effects on some growing plants.
For this reason, he adds, do NOT
plant seed, or set plants for at
least 2 to 10 days after furniga-
ZION in the summer, or 2 weeks
in fall and spring. Do not treat
closer than 10 feet to fruit trees
or 3 feet to small trees and berry
bushes.

Ireland Happy
 In Her Newly Gained Freedom
(By Carter L. Davidson)

DUBLIN, Ireland, (P - The Irish, fully free of British rule at last, face the future with light heart, a world full of friends and money in the bank.
 Many problems confront them, but they face these unafraid. They closed the books Monday on 780 years of rule by foreign power, and they feel the future will be what they make it. They intend to make it good one. Individually the people are poor, but they have every hope they won't stay that way.
 They still look darkly at six counties of Ulster which have chosen to stay in the British Com monwealth. The Irish call this their Mo- problem to draw those counties into the Free Re public of Ireland. President Jean T. O'Kelly says he hopes to see that goal reached within gener- ation.
 But in Ulster, the press and pol iticians called suggestions of fed eralization within the republic "unthinkable."
 Economically, Free Ireland is sound Her main business is agri- culture, and with Britain Shoppi- 3 for far more beef and other pro- duce than the Irish can produce, the farmer has an assured market
 Marshall Plan dollars are avail able to this new republic along the way.
 Ireland also has an army, rich in military tradition, such as few nations her size.
 Prices are lower than in New York. A two-pound loaf of bread costs six pence 10 cents A five pound beef roast can be had fer less than S3.

Alaska Airlines Aids All Over The World

NEW YORK - Alaska Airlines during the past months have these accomplishments to their credit. They have made four complete round the world trips, six trips carrying military dependents to Toyko from Seattle; eleven trips carrying war brides from Ger many to New York; eighty-seven trips for the U. s. military from the eastern seaboard to Europe in support of the Berlin Airlift; a six weeks operation from Mexico City to Lisbon and Madrid for the Mexican Flag Line, and a two- months operation between London and Johannesburg for South Af- rican line. At present the company is transporting 5000 displaced persons from Alden to Haifa, about l600 miles and from Shanhgai to Haifa, about 1000 miles.
 Recently Fred F. Jeffers, 1st It. USAF, of Tachikawa Air Force Base was so delighted with the service of Alaska he wrote them as follows:
 "I would like to express my- thanks for the prompt and eff cient way that you performed the difficult mission of carrying us over half way round the world, from Germany to Japan, the cour- tesy shown us during the trip by your crews, and in particular by your hostesses in caring for our needs.
 Your consideration of our anx- iety not to be delayed, added to the problems confronting you. You have my sincere appreciation for the manner in which you sur mounted these problems and safe ly delivered us to our destination, to be reunited with our families"

NO SURE WAY TO PEACE

Trygve Lie, Secretary General of the United Nations expresses two opinions when he says that the present EastWest conflict is too dangerous to last and that present hostility continues, it will result in war that will end civilization we know it..
 Views similar to those of the Norwegian have been expressed before. While the present hostility of Soviet Russia to the Western nations is dangerous, it is largely because of the preponderant military strength possessed by the Soviet Unon Once there is something like balance of power the leaders in the Kremin will not be tempted to take by force what they cannot win by argument and veto.
 The idea that the next twill end civilization is not new It has been heard after every great and will probably be heard after the of the future The
 threat is not much against civilization it is against communism American capitalism would probably survive disastrous defeat because the people Ofnether country would permanently endure the suffering and dislocation that would be caused by such struggle Meanwhile, the five Brussels Treaty powers - Br- tain France, Belgium the Netherlands and LuXem- bourg-are reported to have reached tentative agree ment to the defense of Western Europe This calls for the raising of joint force of approximately thirty-sx divisions within the next two years France would provide tweny-four, Britain sx Belgium three, the Netherlands two and Luxembourg In addition, the British would maintain air force and gradually transfer jet fighter craft to France and the Netherlands under something like Lend-Lease arrangement.
 The Western nations of Europe, not yet rehabtated
 from the effects of the recent war; not in position to finance rearmament modern scale. This means that any effective military force in Western Europe ance either in the form of weapons and equipment or money This seems to be the basis upon which the lead of Europe proceeding their efforts to organize
 force to counterbaance the mighty power of the Red army which it is generally admitted, Eu- rope at will

HOW'S BRITAIN NOW?

The British are still having tough time tho things seem little better with them lately Actually 1t Is high time for signs of recovery How much better off England would be right now-how much sooner she would have come out of the kinks if she had kept safe her traditional freedoms-that no one knows. But if the English mind and spirit out of these dangerous experiences un scathed, it will surely be miracle.
 Current reports from Britain suggest that hard times may yet finger there for long stay There those who will give credit for improvements to the Marshall Plan and to the generosity of the American taxpayer than they will to Britans labor government The sad thing about is that the Engshman is still the worse off, having given up much of his heritage of free dom and liberty charmed by the soothsayers of social ism.
 The swap has netted poor of pottage indeed Engands experience is the lesson of the century for America In current news from England can read the results of government management There was the dentist for example, who took his life because he found impossible to operate his office the govern ordered His suicide note cited too many forms to be filled out for the and declared he could not do his work and the red-tape too.
 What about small business? Take filling stations (pe trol there) From London newspaper: After two years of deliberations committee of 13 men has re- ported to the government the technical cons1dera tions which should govern the number, capacity, and distribution of petrol stations lmagine That the suit when people hand over thelr individual initiative to government.
 Forms controls, red-tape do it better with Bureau cracy! Under the heading First Warm the Teapot" an item in British newspaper advises that the food min
 
 in Tottenham and educate the restaurant stas the subject of how to make tea! As if by the English people have not learned to make tea.
 Some of these seem bit ridiculous. They are: Like the report of demands for ree wigs having risen der socalized medicine to than 200 week-at cost of than $4 O00OOO yearly. It is reported also that Application Order No. 2" will entte hairless and women to the natonaized wig cleaning and dress ing service, once every two months From cradle to grave indeed!
 The whole British story of snarlng bureaucracy may remind readers of wartime experiences in America It indicates, too that control clashes with n dvdual freedom Another story has to do with over zeaous government snooper who transferred from his post because he had searched womans shopping bag. His superior sagey warned him: ''Men like you bring regulations into disrepute."
 Here's another for you. In Froxfeld England. man named K J. Kilford was building house. He wanted a round hall window in his home But the area plan ming committed said no; the window must be rectangu- lar. "A round window would be out of place in rural area" the panel declared Commented Kilford: There is no individual liberty today.
 THAT HAPPENED IN ENGLAND SHALL WE IN AMERICA BE ABLE TO KEEP OUR FREEDOM?
