A slight ; additional loss is from the conver-i eion of sugars to carbon dioxide i and water. The shrinkage of these I ' potatoes was very uniform regard less of what fertilizer was used to grow them. However, the treat ment i No. 4 1 where a complete IERCENT GRADE OLT fertilizer had been ued showed a slightly higher rate of shriveling which may be significant. The av. erage weight loss of all the, trial.-, was 4 7 per cent which indicates that if 1000 lbs. of field run pota toes from this lo; had been placed in storage, only S53 lbs. ol field run potatoes would be taken out. for Kind of fertilizer Amount of available of each.

I Chlordane or DDT dust along the baseboards ol the floors and . across door sills will keep them ! outside, according to University ol j California Farm Advsor Ken Bag- j hott. Use a dust containing live per cent DDT or two per cent chlor- j cane, he recommends. Blow the oust into cracks and other hiding , places but make certain it does not j contaminate lood.

They are f-rerc stomach 'poitons and mu't he u:-cd carelully according to di lections on the containers. Field run potatoes were sealed in crates, stored amoiiR the bulk potatoes over the winter, and tak-' en out and graded with the above results. Although the treatment fer tilized ith nitrogen alone shows the ben keeping quality, the dif ference is small. One conclusion which is very evident Is that the use of phosphorous or potash in your potato fertilizer does not im prove the keeping quality of po'i toes. Observations on appearance and netting showed that those fer tilized with nitrogen alone were just as good as any other treat ment. The results of this years experi ments support the conclusions of several previous years work on this same problem. Bee Barter System Eyed A b.irter sytcru of payment clover pollination jcn.ce is being Miggpsted th;s set;-on oy some bee keeper. Some brckcepors have contracted to provide a strong colony 01 bees in return for 10 lb. of aljise clover seed after harvest. Pollination fees are a develop ment of recent yrars. The practice ol charging pollination fees devel oped among beekeepers as honey prices declined when sugar became plentiful a.'ter the war. When honey prices wre satisfac tory it was customary lor beekeep ers to leave a supply of ho tie v with farmers for the privilege of placing bees in clover ficld. A w;de spread realizat.on nf the effectivencM of bee,; : mcici.umr clover -eed yield? led ta greater demand for becs on the part of seed producers. Pollination fees m this area havc not been as hieh a they were in some oilier areas. Honey flow liom elsike fields here has bren quite good. Fees p.-'.id bv clover growers last year varied from no'.h:ns to over J4.C0 per colony of bee-. There has been quite a lot of variation in fees paid. Thrf has s'.'O been con.,id'M'ble variation m trrneth of colonies provided by beekeetwrs. 2,4-D Proves Worth Over Period Of Time As Good Weed Killer In Pastures 'Once a mir.u'r. now a ".Litid ty"th.r.i the cp:-ul? htory ot --D weed killer, the chemical that cm be sprayed on grmn Blue Tongue Watched Here weed: without hurling the crop ot Iced.
