WH GRIND OUR OWN LENSES Phone 147J For tho period, July 2 to Aug 5, '1922 Tho projects given attention dur ing the period of this report were crop improvement, alfalfa weevil control, grasshopper control, potato improvement and marketing. Mis cellaneous and personal work re quired about one-half of the time. CHOP IMPROVEMENT. One meeting was held at Adrian on this project for the puj-poso of visiting crop demonstrations in that com munity has had been done in other communities the previous month. Also several plots of spring wheat wore "sampled" tor yield and tho bundles laid away to be threshed later. ALFALFA WEEVIL CONTROL. Meetings on alfalfa weevil control wero held at Grove, Harper and Westfall. and the spread of tho weevil determined roughly in the county as far west as Juntura. GRASSHOPPER CONTROL. Grass hoppers appeared in considerable numbers at various points In tho county during the month and threat ended clover seed fields and lettuce patches. The poison bran mash remedy wob made familiar to the farmers by circular letters and press reports and assistance rendered oight farmers in getting the mater ials together to begin poisoning. POTATO IMPROVEMENT. Six days wore spent on this projoct by tho agent and four days by E. R. Jackman, crop specialist. Seven field meetings were held for th purpose of studying potato diseases and their control. These meetings were held at Ontario, Cairo, Vale, wyssa, Aurian, uregon oiope unu, Jefferson, Tho total attendance was 116. In addition twenty-three fields wero examined for certifica tion of which 14 passed first In spection. During tho course of the potato work a large number of com mercial flolds wero examined for disease. It was found that tho amount of disease varied greatly ac cording to the quality of seed used, soma small fields showing almost all plants diseased. Moslac Is the most serious disease. One field containing more than fifty acres was found to contain 46 per cent Mo slac. The seed had been Imported from Idaho at a high Price and plant ed on tho best potato land and tho crop well cared for. The yield will bo light nnd the crop will no doubt cause a heavy financial loss to the grower. Similar results wero noted whore homo jjrown seed was used. I Howevor, there are numerous in stances where good results have been socurod from the use of good seod both homo grown and imported showing that tho problem facing the potato growers Is one of planting good seod whereever it may bo ob tninod at a price which they can af ford to pay. MARKETING. A meeting of farm buroau marketing association representatives nt Caldwell was at- tenuoa xor mo purpose oi tuopur- ntlng in making plans for keeping tho potato growers informed on markot conditions arid to acquaint thorn with, United Statos grades of potatoes.
