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. Other rodent
control work in the county is al
present time on a well established
basis.
Initial steps looking toward the
establishment of u livestock mar
keting association were taken. ,
I'lldcr the department 0r dairy
ing, infectious abortion testing h;is
been started In lti2'.t Ihrougb t ho
cooperation of Ir. 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. The I'nlon Coun
ty Poultry association should be
continued.
The home market survey and the'
a nn na I economic conference and
reports required from higher up
were added to the list of office
duties.
