With Harry G. Avery, county ag riculturist of I ' n ion county for seven consecutive years, back on the job again after a. year's sab batical absence, some idea of the volume, of work' clone through this office may be glirnpKcd from Un report Just recently completed by the act ing county agrlcult urlsi. Wra.y l.awrauce. Under the head ing "Status of County Kxtension Mork'' an idea is given of tho regu larly outlined work, but H. is in addition to tlx? thousand and one calls made in emergency and to which the agriculturist is always anxious to respond in order lo serve tiie farmers of 1'nion county. Soil improvement work Is coming to assume noticeable proportions In I'nlon county ami Increased atten tion is given lo It each year. Ap plications of laud plaster and sul phur on a Haifa are two important demonstrations now to be tried out. The application of ammonium sulphate and super-phosphate on winter grain is being tested, and a. a further experiment on soil im provement, drainage work In or chards is being studied. As a result of numerous trials, the following nofations have been made: Hard l-'ederalion selection io. 31 Is looking more promising than common Hard Federation; Soft Kederalion is still one of the main spring varieties of grain; Hy brid No. IHS a nd Korly Kohl are the two main winter varieties of wheat; Hybrid No. I US Is gaining over Korty-Kold In certain sections. While Winter hurley wives Indica tions of being the chief variety of this cereal in the future; Trehl and Han nehen are the present main sprliiL' varieties. Markton oats are the favorite. The Increased aero age in ulfalfa Is remarkable. The agent adds the note thai this should continue until the production of alfalfa here emials the consumption of the dairy and livestock indus tries. Wee.j control comes n for some prominence, imperially since olio tr ance v.atf made in the county's bud get this year for the purcliae of a power spraying nun-hine for the treatment of weeds which. In KUtne hccilons are you nd to ijHe an alarming degree. Itc tilts from treatments In yearn pa.-l are re ported to havu been ery satisfac tory. Itoot crops were not fo prominent during the year just past. An un satisfactory marketing of the crop or IH-S curtailed the production if i-'utatuti VL-ry UiUtlj, ar.d the v II- for inspection for certification fell ; off in proportion. The production of other root crops, such as carrots. 1 mangels, etc., for feeding purposes j was mentioned. I Cnder the head of "Horticulture" : 11 was pointed out that even while ! no trace of the cherry fruit fly was1 Jotind in 1 n ion county last year, compulsory spraying slum Id be I carried on for another season. It. ; v.as suggested, also that there1 should be an increase of work along the line of soil improvement espe- dally tho trials of conunerclal and , organic fertilizers and cover crops. In referring io the pocket gopher this statement was mide "This pest is apparently very rapidly inereas- ! ing throughout i'nlon county. Pock t et gopher demonstration work should be increased.

W. E. Thistle waite, federal veterinarian. The work of the cow tenting association was mentioned as going along in a salfHfactory manner. I'oult ry. I'n Ion county is still practically going on a. self .sit it porting basis and an increase in tills industry Is not recommended at the present time. Considerable assistance should be given lo Ihe building of suitahic poultry houses for this dist rici. A iso assistance" along feeding and disease control yhoiild be, given.
