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.

Those who have been cooper
ating in the Morrow county
weather observation programs
will be interested to hear that
Oregon State University has re
cently received two gilts or
grants, for weather observation
research. $25,272.00 was received
recently from the Signal Corps
to conduct investigations of in
struments and techniques for
Army weather observation and
$2,075.00 from the U. 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

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.
Coffee and tea will be fur

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.

ting agents reduce the selectivity
of the weed killer. 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.
