XJ .. 4 THURSDAY, SEPT 10, 1953 THE EAGLE, AROUND THE FARM “What is a good way to control nagworm on cattle,’ we were asked when visiting at the Shal- mon Libel farm. Mist. In the past, repeated applications of io dine has given good control. Re- i«ntly the veterinary department at Oregon State college reported that a new product called "Phe- nenjl" in a three per cent solution has been very effective in con- ij trolling ringworrm. Phemerol can ' be purchased from drug stores, or < f they do not have it they could „ * rder it for you. Ringworm is contagious to hu- tj-ians. so it is best to be rather jpareful in handling infected cattle. ■ ■ f < ' J Double cropping a field doesn’t generally pay off too well, but it did this year for Dan Hughes, Warren.

Nearly nine million pounds of white clover seed were used during the 1952-53 season which is about twice the amount used during the 1949-50 season. Imports of white clover are ap parently becoming more impor tant as over three million pounds were import' d during the past season. Most of this cams in from New Zealand. Wt don’t know exactly what varieities were imported, but no doubt much of it was the variety call ’d "New Zealand White Clover". This is a good variety for our area and we feel that it should be used in preference to common white clover or White Dutch. Some farmers have indicated that th y prefer it to ladino. Where irrigation water is avail able,« August seeding of white clovers gives very good results. September is generally too late, however, due to the fact that about six weeks warm growing weather is needed before cool weather sets in so that plants will overwinter.

Burning matches or cigarettes dropped in MCCULLOCH 4-30 Chain Saw dry grass, leaves or needles start thousands of forest fires each year. Smouldering campfires left in the woods cause many others.
