EAGLE,
ABOUND THE FARM
We have mentioned tansy rag­
wort quite often and always we
have talked about Delena as being
the infested area. Actually, it is
the area from the west foot of the
Rainier hill on west to where
Beaver creek strikes tide water.
In the last few days we have
found that this is not the only
area infested. First, one plant was
found by Art Schwab of Deer
Island down in the diking district
on the Fred Adams place which
he is renting for pasture.
How it got there no one knows.
Livestock, grass seed, hay, grain,
ducks, automobile—some way it
got there.
We understand that Fred Adam’s

September 1 Is
SÄ. Milk Deadline
place has been sold to parties in­
tending to use it for a hunting
area. We hope some livestock in­
terests are involved to encourage
control of tansy ragwort since a
large part of the Island is used
for pasture where tansy ragwort
is at its worst.
Next, we got a letter from Mrs.
Walter Peters, Goble, up in back
of the Beaver Homes Church. She
sent in a sample of a weed which
was tansy ragwort. Here again
only one plant was found so far
but there are usually more around.
Then we got word that Ben
Darow, Shilo Basin, had found a
few weeds and thought they were
tansy ragwort. We investigated
and found a few blooming plants
down in the fern. Darrow first
noticed the weed a few years ago
but has been pulling all of them
so that i( has not spread.
Surely we haven’t just stumbled
on to all the tansy ragwort that
may have gotten spread around
the county.
I am sure the folks around
Delena will agree that it will
greatly profit farmers everywhere
to be on a close look out for this
weed and when found it should
be eradicated before it gets a
foothold and really becomes a
problem in the area.
This year we have seen several
fields of alfalfa that are quite
yellow.
It looks as though it
might be caused by dry soil but
when we examine these plants we
see that the yellow leaves are at
the top. If they were caused from
draught the bottom leaves would
be yellowed.
The actual cause of this yellow­
ing on tree top of the plants this
time of year is a boron deficiency.
It shows very markedly in a dry
year like this because the sub
soil where the alfalfa is now
getting its moisture is very low
in boron.
The application of 20 pounds per
acre of agricultural borax annually
will cdrrect this yellowing in
alfalfa.

The state department of agri-
lucture has warned fluid milk dis­
tributors and all operators of milk
trucks that the 12-month grace
period to comply with regulations
•n milk bottle lip protector caps
and on trucks used to haul fluid
milk for pasteurization from farm
to plant will end on September 1,
of this year.
O. K. Beals, chief of the de­
partment’s division of foods and
dairies, says the department will
expect full compliance with these
provisions after that date.
The fluid milk regulations re­
quire that the cap or cover pro­
tect the pouring lip of milk bottles
to at least the largest diameter.
The trucking requirement ap­
plies to all vehicles used in trans­
porting milk for bottling, except
milk hauled by the producer.
Trucks used to haul milk must
have completely enclosed perman­
ent type bodies with tight fitting
loading and unloading doors. In
the case of the producer who hauls
his own milk, cans must be pro­
tected fully from dust and direct
rays of sun.
These regulations were drawn
in July, 1948, as part of the fluid
milk regulations which went into
effect last September 1; compli­
ance with the trucking and lip can
requirements was waived for the
year period to give all concerned
time to make necessary change­
overs.
