AROUND THE FARM
Tansy ragwort is coming into
bloom and now is the time to
»tart watching for this pest. M.
C. Vanderpool, Lindberg re
ports how he became acquainted
with this weed. Last year while
attending Beaver Homes grange
be observed a blooming ragwort
plant brought to the meeting by
Jack Leu, Goble.
Vanderpool was sure there was
none of the weed on his place
tail the next day to be sure he
walked over the farm. To his
surprise he found a patch of it
and pulled an armful of plants
c leaning it up.
Here is another case where
tansy ragwort has been found in
an area where it was never
known to exist. This emphasizes
the point that every farmer
should know what this weed
looks like and should look his
farm over during July and Aug
ust for blooming plants.
Garden hints—Get the ground
ready and set out plants of broc
coli, late cabbage, cauliflower,
and brussel sprouts, soon. These
irops grow well during the cool

Watch green beans for black
aphids. Spray with nicotine sul

Sweet corn is highest in sugar
if picked around noon.
When irrigating the garden a
gentle soaking is much better

than a light sprinkling. Use any
satisfactory garden
or lawn
sprinkler and apply about two
inches of water to the soil. Cof
fee cans set out under the
sprinklers make excellent gauges
to determine how much water
is being applied.
Every summer about this time
there are some reports about new
strawberry plantings that have
been burned by weevil bait plac
ed in the crown of the plant.
This condition is liable to develop
particularly when bait is applied
and rain or heavy dew is fol
lowed by hot days.
J. C. Parsons, Deer Island, in
quired several weeks ago as to
where this weevil bait should be
applied.
He followed the re
commendations that bait be
placed to the side of the plant.
Just to try it, however. Parson
put the bait on six plants right
in the crown. He reports severe
damage on several of these plants.
On older plantings where the
bait is scattered directly into the
crown of the larger plants there
has been no reports of injury.
It is only on new plantings
where bait has been applied to
the small new plants that injury
has been reported.
Lives Lost Due
to Tree Damage
Winter damage to trees in log
ging areas has resulted in 4
deaths among Oregon Loggers in
the last two months, claims filed
with the Industrial Accident
Commission revealed today.
A warning against this condi
tion was generally published by
all newspapers in March.
It
named the extent and nature of
the damage wrought by ice, frost,
and snow to forest trees.
It
stated that limbs had been brok
en from both evergreen and broad
leaf trees, and said some haa
fallen to the ground but many
still lay loose in living foliage,,
and other still clung by living
fibers. Caution on the part of

Applications
For Tags Ready
Although hunting regulations
will not be made final until
July 28, applications for ante
lope tags are now available at
all Game Commission license
agencies.
The applications are being made
available early due to the fact
that the date for the setting of
hunting regulations falls so late
this year and the fact that if
an antelope season is held, it
would fall in August. Tentative
plans call for a limited season,
August 19 to August 25, both
dates inclusive. Those wishing
to hunt antelope should secure
applications at license agencies,
workmen was asked as essential
to the preservation of life.
But the warning went unheed
ed in the following instances:
In mid May a bucker was
struck and killed by a limb
from a nearby standing sugar
pine as he bent forward for his
axe to mark the bucking length.
Later in May a whistle punk on
his way to the crew truck was
struck down by part of a ma-
drona tree which fell as he passed
in a non-logged area.
In early June one of a two
man crew of fallers died from
concussion brought about by a
blow from a 6'/a foot limb which
fell 36 feet.
The next day one of a falling
crew of two died instantly from
an 8 foot limb weighing 50
pounds which fell 130 feet di
rectly on the victims head. It
lay in the branches of an adjacent
tree.
These deaths prove that the
original warning was not ill
conceived. Winter damage was
extensive and severe. Since that
time, death lurks overhead as
well as elsewhere in the woods.
All woodsmen, no matter what
they do, must make sure of over
head safety first of all, before
they figure up the ground ha
zards.
changed after filing the applica
tions and persons may not apply
in more than one party or sub
individual applications if they
have applied in a party.
Census information shows a
modest increase
in antelope
numbers and the possibility of a
limited season on bucks only
appears to be good.
