I'pper left: One hundred and twenty-five registered Hereford bulls were sprayed last week for tick and lice control with a DDT preparation. Jim titepp did the work for Bruce Campbell, livestock buyer for a Medford meat company, who treata cattle aa a sideline. Picture below shows the spray running off the curly Itidra of the bulls. I'pper right: Stepp is shown here spraying calves with rotenone for ox warble control. The calves are run Into a chute and Uie spray directed onto the backs with a high pressure. Amonff the various rhemicnls nf. fered for weed control there are number which are called contact herbicides. These chemicals kill on contact with the weeds and are ef fective on top growth of all weeds including the grasses but do not. as a rule, translocate Into the roots. Therefore, application must be made every year, and In case of perennial weeds, two or more times a year to keep down top growth. The principal contact herbicides Include petroleum oils, chiefly d ie.se 1 and fuel oils, as well as special oils which are now being offered by oil companies and which show con siderable promise as .weed killers. Oils are sometimes fortified with dinitro compounds to make them more effective and are prepared tn such a way thnt they can be added tn water to make an emulsion which is sprayed on the weeds. Other spray solutions are made from salts, such as sodium arsenlte. sodium chlorate and ammonium sulfamate. Care is needed when usinc arsenite and chlorate compounds where live stock is ranging because of the poi sonous character of these materials. Sodium chlorate solutions when sprayed on Vegetation or clothing become fire hazards when dry. such solutions should not be used around buildings or lumber yards.

However, says Bill, Nellie was fed 2.1 pounds of raw chopped potatoes per day. along with other things, and the herd man In charge says the potatoes helped a lot. The value of the fat returned by the potntoes ninde the potatoes wnnh 11.75 per cwt. "Monv of our scientists, and food experts." says Bill, "hnve refused to believe the value of potntoes In the production of milk or meat. We believe this Is due mainly to the fact thnt only limited experiments hnvc been car ried nn. We believe further thnt cull potntoes are worth fnr more on your own farm than on any market." He proposes a study nnd recommends a slogan. "Sell the best and feed the rest." Squirrels Due In Few Days Oround squirrels will make their appearance in considerable num bers just as soon as a few days of good, warm weather occur. Poisoned outs will be available throughout the county at the regular stores and at the county agent's office In the federal building. Early poisoning is most effective on warm, still days particularly early In the morning. A few ker nels placed outside of the squirrel hole is sufficient. They should never be placed In a lump but should be scattered. Ten to 15 kernels scat tered in front Is enough. It should be remembered that this poison Is dangerous to all animals otfelald and AeuM. WMIM NEWS Serious Egg Shortage Seen For Pacific Coast Area By Late Next Fall By PAUL W. IIABVKY JB. SALEM, April 8 ip Persons who like ham and eggs will likely be eating ham and no eggs next fall. . Noel L. Bennlon, poultryman of the OHC extension service, says eggs will be scarce over the coun try by next fall and the Pacific coast will have the worst egg short age. The country's poultrymen don't plan to raise many new birds Twenty per cent fewer eggs were set in March than there were a year ago. For April and May de livery, there are 40 per cent fewer chick orders booked than a year ago. And the chicks that are being hatched now will lay half the egss next winter. New Supply Needed Bennlon says poultry producers must brood chicks this spring In oTder to take advantage of the com ing egg shortage. He says a good Doultryman will each year replace 7.1 to 100 per rent of his laving flock with a new supply of pullets. He said the recent break In feed prices and the reduced number of chicks should Improve the outlook for egg producers. Oregon used to shin a lot of eggs to other states, but the war-swollen nonulatlon of the state has reversed the flow of eggs. For Instance. In 1928 Oregon ship ped a record 514 carloads of eggs to other states. Last year only 40 cars were moved out, and other states shaped far more than that Into Oregon. spray on their plants. Result: I ha small amount of J.4-D left In th gun kills the plants. County agricultural agents have Issued their first warning for pruns thrlps control. The Insects, two weeks late, are at their peak emer gence stage. The warning was given In the Willamette valley, Douglas, Wasco and Umatilla counties. Extension Crops Specialist Rex Warren warns that 2.4-D spray equipment must be cleaned well be fore It is used for other sprays. He said many persons use 2.4-D, empty the gun. and then fill it up with another spray, forgetting to clean the gun.
