EAGLE,
AROUND THE FARM
This fall we have run onto
some peculiar conditions of bloat
<m ladino clover pasture.
We often get some bloat on
new ladino clover pastures where
the clover has come on faster
than the grass. The lush growth
ai clover enables the animals to
eat a lot of pasture and bloat
sometimes results. Knusel’s Dairy
at Scappoose had an experience
with Utis situation this spring
and lost a cow. It is well that
cows be watched closely on new
pastures until the grass really
■gets going.
On established pastures which
are at least one year old the
grass will generally be heavy
enough in the clover to prevent
Moat. It seems that the grass is
tougher and coarser than clover.
Th»« toughness slows down the
cows eating and the roughness
stimulates belching which holds
down bloat.
For this reason we were some­
what surprised toehear that Paul
Berlin, Frank Trachsel, and Ellis
Workman, all of Deer Island, had
all run into some bloat on their
pastures. All three of these pas­
tures have heavy stands of alta
fescue with the ladino clover.
Some farmers even complain that
alta fescue is too virgorous for
the ladino clover and crowds it
out.
However, the warm dry weather
of this summer has retarded the
growth of the grass. The ladino
clover has really boomed ahead
where given plenty of water,
fertilizer and proper manage­
ment. Regrowth on these pas­
tures was so heavy to clover that
some bloat trouble resulted.
There is no 100 per cent control
for bloat but here are some sug­
gestions that seem to help.

1. Have plenty of water con­
veniently located.
2. Keep salt and mineral near
the water supply.
3. Keep some dry roughage
hay or straw available, or
4. Mow strips in the pasture so
dry clippings are available.
5 When you plant a pasture be
sure that a vigorous grass is
included in the mixture to pro­
vide coarse material in the
roughage.
Will irrigating strawberries
cause them to bear a heavy
second crop? Strawberry growers
have been wondering about this
because a heavy set of second
crop might cause a reduction in
the next year’s crops.
This year’s experience at J. A.
Johnson’s, Warren and Frank
Trachsel’s, Deer Island, shows
that irrigated fields have set only
a very light second crop. By
looking around you can find a
few berries to eat but Johnson
does not feel that it is heavy
enough to cause any damage to
next year’s crops. He feels it
means that the plants are raring
to go for a heavy crop next year.
Washington county. Oregon, is
really going for the artificial
breeding of dairy cattle. Their
artificial breeding association is
thinking of adding a third tech­
nician. Last year they had 3,652
first services for 462 dairymen
members.
The high divorce rate indicates
some girls can’t make up their
minds whether to have a man as
a hubby or a hobby.
