Several Butter Creek ranchers used, for the first time this spring, a new device for con trolling rodents in their alfalfa fields. On a trip to Butter Creek last week it was evident that (his "burrow builder" has done a good Job. At the Bill Weather ford ranch gophers had, In a field or two, practically taken over. Not a single new mound of dirt indicating gopher activity could bo seen in baited fields. Gopher activity was evident in those fields where no baiting had been done. Those who used the machine say that it is simple to operate and Inexpensive to use. Attaching to a three-point hitch of a farm tractor many acres can be covered in a day whereby old hand-type baiting is a long tedious process. Bait can be purchased' for 50c to 75c per acre. It looks as if there will be a lot more use of this practice in alfalfa fields. Supplying necessary minerals to livestock is particularly im portant in the spring when an imals are turned out to grass. These supplementary minerals are iodized salt, calcium and phosporus. Iodine is especially important for prevention of goiter and to insure proper func tion of the thyroid gland. Cal cium and phosphorous are need ed tor building bones, salt is necessary for blood pressure and other vital body functions. These requirements may be met by sell toeuing loaized ground salt and steam bone meal. These are best fed In containers that are protected from the weather so they will not get wet. Hogs may be supplemented by iodized salt and ground limestone. Nor mally the grains feed will supply the required amount of phos phorous. RANCH AERO AIRPLANE SPRAYING CO.

S. Weather Bureau for advanced weather ra dar studies. Both are under the ! direction of Dr. Fred W. Decker, chairman, Atmospheric Science Branch, who is working with the Morrow county group on their weather program. Special instruments and radar are being used In tracing storms moving into Morrow county at this time.

The next stripe rust survey will be held during the week of May 1 with a visit to Morrow county on the afternoon of May 2. Excellent growing conditions the past week or ten days has resulted in wheat and barley reaching the stage where it is rum; safo tn snrav for control of weeds. While some spraying has finished putting on a training for the Oregon Fairs Association at the beginning of April, goes into the planning and the de sign of the exhibit. "A well-designed exhibit," states Fairbanks, "has a center of interest, is balanced in form and color, and is simple has only one idea." All organizations that put up displays at any time are urged to avail themselves of this good information that can be put to use in so many ways, continues Miss Kirmis.

Training Program Planned For 4-H Livestock Groups Chats With Your Home Agent Traditional Egg Gets Attention for Easter Use By ESTHER KIRMIS The decorating and dyeing of eggs has long been a folk art. There are numerous charming customs in relation to this prac tice of coloring eggs. In olden days people refrained from eat ing eggs as well as meat during Lent. On Easter Eve and Easter Day huge trays of eggs, brightly colored and arranged in baskets were taken to church where they were blessed by priests. Taken home they were placed in the center of the table and shared with visitors during. Easter Week. Now they are a basic Lenten food upon which everyone re lies. In many European countries games in which the opponents knock Easter eggs together, ex change them, play marbles with them, race with them and roll them have long been popular. President Madison (1808-1812) introduced the egg-rolling party at the White House. A simple trick to decorate Easter eggs is the use of a white wax crayon to write on an egg or using melted parafin to brush on designs. This is done before coloring the egg. The wax pro tects the shell and the coloring is not absorbed. Write names on eggs and each one has a per sonalized gift. After eggs are colored, use con struction paper or bits of ma terials to cut out features, stiff collars and hats for an Easter parade right in your own home. Each child would enjoy making his own table favor for Easter morning. Metsker maps of Morrow county, $1.25, at the Gazette Times office.

When spray ing for annuals, the majority of which is Tarweed, use from 1 to Vk pounds of 2,4-D per acre. The one pound application can be effective on the smaller Tar weed plants under good spray ing conditions. It is necessary to go to as high as 1 to Vk pounds of acid when Tarweed has start ed to shoot up its stalk or when cold, backward spraying condit ions are prevalent. Quite a num ber of ranchers have called the office for recommendations tor the control of Purple Mustard. In almost every case it is too late now to spray for Purple Mustard, selectively. For some who might have missed an in festation of this hard-to-kill an nual, heavy applications such as 2 pounds 2,4-D acid per acre will kill the Mustard when spraying conditions are ideal. A few ranchers reported a new growing viney weed along field margins .i '.nriin(T into their summer- fallow last year. This no doubt is Knotweed or Barnyard Grass which we observed on several occasions the last two or three years. While we nave no v nifin iwnmmendations for selec tive control, if there should be some of this found in wheat this year spray as soon as it shows up, using 1 to la pounds of low volatile ester. A couple of weeks ago we re ported the special self-propelled sprayer that Holmes Gabbert had built this winter. While the use of the self-propelled combine as a means of carrying the spray is nothing new in some areas, little use has been given to that machine for that purpose in Morrow county. During the spring Lloyd Howton, lone ranch er, began converting his self propelled combine to a weed sprayer. Because mounting a tank to carry the sprayer posed some problems Lloyd conceived of the idea of using the grain bulk tank to carry his spray mix ture. With some guidance from a professional glass fabricator the tank was fiberglassed and sealed at the top. Lloyd reported last week that both he and his neigh bor, Walt Jacobs, were using the sprayer and that everything was working out as planned. He es pecially liked tne way ne couiu get around in the field with little effort and the self-leveling ac tion which kept the boom at the same level regardless of terrain. This looks like a good use for self-propelled combines which otherwise sit around all year with little use except for a couple of weeks during harvest time.
