EAGLE,
AROUND THE FARM
la recent years most of the
eoatrols for insects and diseases
have been adapted to application
of dusts. The home gardener
can save considerable time if he
arranges to apply dusts rather
than spray. Control will gener
ally be better because dusts are
■easy to apply than sprays. Con-

ORE,
County Extension Agent
trols will generally be better
because dusts are easy enough
to apply that the job will be
done while sprays are often
omitted because of the trouble.
Codling moth or worms and
scab of apples and pears can be
controlled with a dust—so can
cherry fruit fly. Large trees are
easier to cover with a small
duster and ladder than with a
sprayer.
All garden pests including
aphids can be controlled with
dusts. Flowers including roses
can be kept free of disease and
insects with dusts.
For good sized home gardens
investment in a good rotary bil
lows duster will pay off in better
control and less time needed.
For small gardens and city
homes a good plunger duster will
serve satisfactorily.
Bulletins are available that
give recommendations for dusts
that will replace sprays for insect
and disease control.
Fire prevention is not one of
those things that you can finish
up and forget. Fire can strike
homes and farmsteads any day
in the year. April is known as
the time for traditional spring
house cleaning. Cleaning up the
house and grounds is an im
portant part of fire prevention,
so these suggestions are offered
as fire prevention reminders for
the month.
Get rid of flammable rubbish.
Old magazines, worn out clothes,
broken furniture, and boxes are

Annual 4-H Day
To Be Planned
Plans for the annual Nehalem
Valley 4-H field day will be
made at a district 4-H leaders
meeting at 8:00 o'clock on Tues
day, April 18th. The meeting
will be at the home of Henry
Anderegg.
Other subjects scheduled to
be considered include record
books, forestry exhibit boards,
food preservation projects and
garden projects.
All 4-H leaders and others
interested in 4-H club work are
urged to attend.
Project Leaders
Meet All Day
Mary Beth Minton, extension
specialist in home management,
and Betty Jane Paterson, coun
ty home demonstration agent,
had an all day meeting with the
project leaders of the Nehalem
valley at the Evangelical U.B.
church last Friday. They gave
instruction on buying and using
synthetic detergents.
These project leaders will give
the demonstration to their home
demonstration units during the
second week in May. Represent
ing the Keasey unit were Eda
Parker and Marie Christensen;
Timber was Grace Boyer and
Vernonia was Bertha Kirkbride
and Isola Morris.
Lodge Names Delegates
Tuesday to Grand Lodge
Four delegates and four alter
nates were named Tuesday even
ing by the Odd Fellows to re
present the Vernonia Lodge at
the Grand Lodge session later
this year.
Delegates selected are Carl
Davis,
Dwight Strong, Louis
Schroeder and Homer Gwin and
the alternates are Bob Spencer,
Sam Hearing, Allen Ray and
Cecil Johnson.
The lodge a'so recommended
Louis Schroeder as district
deputy for the coming year,
ideal tinder for a stray spark.
They also block a fire fighter.
Keep oil-soaked work clothes
and dust mops in a light, airy
place preferably outside the
house. Get rid of oily rags, or
keep them in tight metal con
tainers. Sparks on the roof cause
hundreds of fires in Oregon.
Clean the roof of moss and the
gutters of leaves. Reroof when
old shingles become curled and
fuzzy. Dust and cobwebs can
be a hazard near electrical ap
pliances, lights and motors. A
dust proof cover for lights in the
barn is good insurance. Do not
forget to clean up dust and lint
around furnaces and smoke pipes
and now is the time to do some
thing about oil drips and about
grease on the garage floor.
The digestive systems of the
young calf is not capable ot
handling hay. The rumen of these
young calves does not develop
until the animal is about 3
months old. If the calf is of
fered hay too early it may be
responsible for some digestive '
disturbance.
Crowded schools? The birth
rate was 18 per 1,000 people in
1941. It rose to a peak of 25.3
per thousand in 1947 and those
boys and girls born in 1947 will
hit the first grade in 1953.
