Several complaints have been re ceived lately of devastating work that cut worms were doing in this county. They have damaged some crops se verely, which makes it necessary that every one be on guard against them. In the fall of the year a little brown moth lays the eggs. These hatch soon nnd begin feeding upon any veg etation at hand and hibernate for the winter when about half grown in the soil. The worm then emerges in the early spring and attacks the plants usually at night. Sometime in May this win ter brood becomes full grown, bur rows in the soil where they transform through the pupae stage into the full grown moth. The moth lays eggs which hatch into worms about July first. This second broo.l is apt to cause trouble and its development should be watched. This pest could be controlled if it was possible to keep the soil stirred often after plowing in late fall or early spring,' but because of the large amount of open land und Inrge fields of alfalfa it is impractical. The best method to destroy the worms here is to use the poison bran mash. The mash is made by mixing one pound of paris green with 50 pounds of bran, then add two pounds of syrup or sugar to about two gallons of wa ter, and mix with the bran and paris green. Enough water should be used so that the bran will fall apart easily and not fall in lumps or be sloppy. Some authorities recommend one-half pound of paris green to 50 pounds of bran, and others one pound of paris green to 20 pounds of bran. I have seen one pound to 50 give good re sults. The mash is then sown broadcast I ' ! r'SsB sHHlrl'taPMBlButBBMaJaBaBI ' ''' -j Farm Machinery If you are interested in cutting or cultivating machinery you want to see our large line.

HUERTA FAMILY AR RIVES IN NEW YORK (Special to the Argus) New York.

Often the worms will be found working in circular areas, scattered over a field, and may be checked by scattering the poison over these spots, otherwise cover the field. The same methods may be U304 '" poison the grasshoppers except it is necessary to add the juice of three or four lemons or oranges to the mixture, and sow in strips over the field. This should be done when it will be most effective as just after cutting the first crop of hay. W. W. HOWARD, Agriculturist of Malheur County. To the Farmers of Malheur County: I was appointed to this office a short time ago to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Shinn. In the short time that I have been hero I have found thnt too few farmers are taking advantage of this office, usually because they do not know the nature of the work thnt is being attempted by this movement. This office was placed in this county to be of direct benefit to the farmers and it Is expected thnt nil of the farmers will take udvuntnge of it as many progressive ones are doing now. I am interested in any thing thnt touches upon the welfare of the farmers whether it be in an advisory way, a business way or in a social way. My duty is to help the farmers in solving any problems that come up. There will doubtless be many ques tions which I will not be able to an swer off hnnd, but there will be few for which I will not be able to find an answer. 1 um in touch with sev eral sources of information, one of which is the farmers themselves. Most every farmer has become un expert in some farm operation, and I expect to pass this kind of information from one to the other.

Whatever may he the net nnrae of this country's diplomatic deal ings with Germany, It Is the opinion of many authorities that business at homo will not suffer curtailment. In fact, it Is expected that Industry will receive enormous Impetus should war he declared. Business has not been affected ap preciably since the Lusltanla tragedy. Activities In what may be termed the "war business'1 ot the country are larger than at any previous time. More contracts have been received for munitions and supplies and production 1 on former orders haa continued to gain as It hns In each week since the purchases became heavy. Hank clearings for the Country last week were $314,646,971, exceeding those of the corresponding week a year ago by 2.05 per cent, and com pared with $303,616,973 for the sams week In 1R13.
