Good in on Base line, two and one-half miles west of Hillsboro, according to the plans of the Washington County Guernsey Club, Outflide speakers of note have been invited to attend and the Guern sey Club plans on stair ing a stock judging contest. All Guernsey breed- era and their families are invited, Reglataratim of Pure Breda The County Agent la often called upon to assist breeders in getting pure breda registered several months or even two or three years after sale has been made. The records on such animals are often incomplete and It il very difficult to assist tnoae who are aeeking help. The proper time to have animals registered and transferred li at the time the sale or purchase ia made. It only piles up additional coat and trouble and often causes a loaa to the purchaser if the matter of the regis tration and transfer it not attended to promptly. Young stock should be rearistered jttat as aoon aa the breeder determines that he intends to keep suctf Block or offer it for sale. An unreglatered pure bred is not worth any more on the market than a high grade of the si breed, Therefore, aome iDurchasors oiten with-hold part of the Purchase price until the delivery of all regis tered papera. i Delightful Time Tueaday Bveaing Enjoyed by Viaitors ana.

AS IT SEEMS TO ME Onion Maggots Onion growers in the countv gener ally are troubled with onion maggots this fear, which has taken quite a percentage of the crop in certain lo calities There is probably no prac tical method of control for this pest thia late in the aeaaon. Canadian onion growera have a method of control, according to A. Lovett. of the Oregon Agricultural College, which ia as follows: Cull onions are planted, one each 75 or 100 feet apart in the onion rows. These onions come up quickly and make a little more rapid growth, and these Canadian growers have found that the maggots take these onions first, and thus many of them are trapped and kept from infecting the main crop. Certain onion growers In Washing ton county have stated that they expect to follow this Canadian method of control this next year, and no doubt onion growers' meetings will be scheduled for a complete discunsloi of this subject during the coming late fall or winter.
