Stewart .,' Summer will soon be here with Its heat and; files. The heat cannot be controlled to any .appreciable extent but the files can--with a little work and cooperation. The work required is to eliminate, the, breeding; 'places' and use a few fly traps. The coop eration lis to get every "neighbor,. to do the Barney Mere or the western elope the com mon cow i fly a tarts bothering stock1 aa early as the first of May and keeps it up until the fall rains have :t: in and the weather" becomes Cooler. They then take refuge In Borne sheltered crevice and those! that pull through the winter come out j the next spring to lay their eggn in a handy pUe of decomposing stable manure, vegetation or other mat ter exuding warmth. bESTBOT BREEDING' PLACES Naturally the best time to exterminate the cow fly is before.it -lays its eggs in , the spring, but this' is hard to do be cause at this time of the year the flies have no definite babies only feeding on the stock for a little while at a time and then devoting themselves to laying count less eggs, j One good method of control at this time of. the year Is to destroy their breeding places. Where rubbish is too valuable as a fertilizer to1 destroy, ' lime or some good disinfectant should be thrown over it and if done properly will kill jail the embryo files.. This method is much easier than trapping the full grown files. By destroying all un necessary rubbish and decomposing veg etation and keeping the "Vest screened or disinfected this stock pest can be con trolled to a. great extent. IXY CATCHING TRAPS Various traps have been designed for fly catching, ' most of them of screen wlUc-solaccs --for the flies to enter either at- the sidea or the bottom. These are very effective in catching flies attracted ' by baits, but of' little or no value to catch the 'blood sucking stock flies ex cept when used in. conjunction with screens In, barn windows or doors. The natural tendency of animals to rub the flies off against brush can be used in a contrivance built either in the barn doorway or some part of the ranch most used by the animals. This con sists of a screen made of " small brush, light cords or other material which the animal can break through easily and yet will dislodge any flies on the animal. This screen should' be just large enough for the largest animals on the place to get through easily and should be sur- ' rounded on both sides apd the top with screen traps so arranged that the fly will, when bruBhed off. in trying to fol low get ensnared in one of the traps. This device varies with every pi ace it is adapted and requires"" some little in genuity toi so arrange it to be the most effective. The expense of constructing it is small and It will easily pay for it self in a short time. BEST RESULTS OBTAINED In the writer's experience with sprays it has been found that the best results are obtained with the stronger kinds that kill the fly as sooif as the whiff of spray hits it. Great care must be used in ap plying this spray to keep it out M the .animals' eyes and not get it "on heavy enough In! any one spot on the bkln to causo blistering. Only the tip ends of the hair ahoulld have very small drops on it. 1'his will get the flies that were frightened, off and did not get a good covering of the spray,: for they will in variably dab back on the animal to feed again. Control of the fly will stop the Spread ing of some of the common diseases, will stop a great deal of aggravation to milk ers, will stop the fretting of horses and the worry of cattle and will, in every case, allow the animals on the farm to keep in better condition during the hot summer months. "Swat the fly." ) Phospliate Necessary In Oregon i ne amount or pnospnorus in many Oregon sous as compared with other plant food elements is relatively low. If the phosphorus content of these Bolls is to be kept up they must receive an application of phosphate at least once in a rotation.

EGG HARVEST TO GREATLY INCREASE By V. Ij- Upson, Of the Oregon Poultry Producers Association Western Oregon and Western Washington will produce this season approximately two and one half times as many eggs as were pro duced ast year. In view of this ex cess production, many poultrymen are wondering "where they are go ing to get off" and what the oit come will be in face of the fact that poultry feeds are increasingly high er? and some authorities claijn, that the acreage jin wheat is only 75 per cent of last (season. ; . OUTCOME ETNCOrBAGING ; While.it is true that the outlook seems rather discouraging In many Ways, a careful I study of the conditions which actually exist! seems to lend encourage ment as to tht final outcome of the food situation, and! especially to the poultry- man. According to the latest market rer port, while there is slightly less wheat acreage this year, there will be a bal ance of 150,000,000 bushels of wheat of last year's crop' on July 1 of this year. The fact that! wllfeat is high, and appar ently going ilgher, is perhaps, due to manipulation;) which it is believed will be corrected as soon as the elections are over. In anyj event, it would seem that the food 1 situation is no worse than it was in 191 7-1H8. . STORAGE SUPPLY SHORT As to the fegg situation, the govern ment market j reports show that in the five principal; markets of this country New.. York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Bos ton and ,Sanr Francisco there were in storage on April 17, in round numbers, 8.000,00 cases of eggs, as compared with 30,000,000 cases last year, and that the receipts on these markets for the week ending ( April 17 were only about one third of last year's receipts for the cor responding period. While it is true that Western Washington and Oregon have very largely ) Increased their output of poultry; and eggs, this Is a local situa tion and can be taken care of by proper organization, jjust as the Petaluma as sociation' has taken care of the situation around the bay. There are two stages in the j production of any food stuff which are profitable, namely (1) when the production is less tha'n the local con sumption, and (2) when the production is sufficiently! in excess of the local con : rORTLAJf D, OBEOQ5 from the yards of Mrs. J. E. Ilor- sumption to permit of the excess being shipped to other markets. r PETALUMA MARKET STABLE Petaluma has been In the second class for a number of years, with the result that they have a much more stable and profitable market than any section which is in the first class. ' Few poultrymen foresaw this condition in this section, and it was for this reason that the Ore gon Poultry Producers' association was organized. : In fact, it would seem that the real solution of the threatened dlffi culty would be to increase the produc tkm and every producer affiliate with the existing organizations, so that the egga may be marketed in sufficient vol ume to secure favorable Eastern or oth er markets. The result to be desired can only be attained to the fullest extent when the organization has the full sup port and backing of every poultry pro ducer in this section, t Farm Bureau Large A news dispatch stated that the total membership in jthe farm bureaus of the 22 states which ratified the constitu tion of the American Farm Bureau fed ciation Is 1,060.000.-Iowa alone has more than 100,000 farm bureau members.

'..'!'' . The first feed given the baby chicks should be something easy . to digest. Many successful poultry keepers start the chicks on ' rolled oats. Others use dry bread crumbs or finely cracked grain. The ' 'first requirement ; is that the chicks should not be fed too soon and the second essential is that chicks should not be fed too much. No feed should be given the chicks until they are at least 48 hours old and not then unless they' show a - good j appetite. The following ration for a. laying hen for 'one year is recommended by James Dryden, chief of poultry husbandry at the O. A. C. experiment station: Wheat, 25 pounds; oats, 15; mill run, 20; ground oats or barley, - S ; linseed : oil meal, S : meat or fish scrap, 7 ; kale or other greens, 45; bone, 2; grit, 3; shell, 2; charcoal, 2. 1 The meat scrap may be displaced with 60 pounds, of buttermilk or skim milk.; Corn may 'be substituted for part of the wheat, at present prices'. Infertile eggs will ' withstand market KEEP BEES If you own an orchard you must have ' bees as they , are the only dependable pollenizing agents.
