There are plantings of this long growing shrub with its bright red berries along both sides of the courthouse at St. Helens. This year Fred Adams, janitor, sprayed these shrubs in April with 25% DDT in summer oil. It has done an excellent job of controlling webworms and the shrubs are looking fine now.

Horn, Agent 905 Bridge Street Phone 231, Vernonia Bloat in dairy cattle is most likely to occur when the pastures runs heavy to clover. With the warm season coming on we will find the clover increasing in ir rigated pastures. If grass was not planted with the clover or if a poor stand was obtained, bloat may be somewhat of a problem. Generally if there is a good mixture of grass and clover the danger of bloat is greatly reduced. The coarser, stiffer grass blades seem to promote belching or prevent the fermentation that causes bloating. Occasionally in a newly seeded pasture we will find the clover developing much faster than the grass and until the grass catches up, livestock should be watched for bloat. Of all the old suggestions for preventing bloat these are all good. First, never put cows on the pasture hungry. Fill them up with hay or keep them on the pasture so they never get hungry. Plenty of water, salt and a chance to eat some dry hay from a rack in the pasture are good suggestions. The latest idea is to clip a strip of the pasture every few days. The clipped forage will become dry or partially so and the cattle will move to this strip and pick up enough of this dry pasture clipping to prevent bloat. It would take 1,900,000 box cars, which would reach across the United States five times to carry the nation’s lumber pro duction in one year. DO YOU NEED GLASSES?
