AROUND THE FARM Moles have been taking their toll in new seedings, pastures, and other places this year, and folks have been using different means of controlling them. The sucess of some of these methods varies greatly, and as a conse quence we usually recommend only those methods that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the experiment stations have proven to give quite consistent control. However, if an individual has a method that has been successful for him, that is the important thing. Recently Fred Mollenhour of Dutch Canyon, told us of a meth od that he had tried that was WIN A H omelite You can win a new Homelite EZ chain saw that offers you • • • • full 5 horsepower new low cost weighs only 19 pounds direct drive It’s easy to entir . . . just come In, and try the EZ while we fill out a blank for you.

Fred says that he has placed u wide-mouthed gallon jar under the runways and then closed over the openings made for the jar with a board so that the mole does not become suspicious. The unsuspecting moles come along the runway and fall into the jar, and this is the end of Mr. Mole. Fred says that the first time he tried this all he got was a jar full of soil, but after learning how to place the jar properly he would sometimes catch two or three moles in the same jar with each setting. Controlling excess moisture in green material going into the sdo is sometimes a difficult job, especially when using a direct- cutting field chopper. While dis. cussing this matter a few days ago with Everett Skeans, Fern Hill, he indicated that they have made a practice of chopping a few bales of hay into their silo when ever the material going in con- tain 'd an unusually high amount of moisture. We feel that this is a good idea, but would like to stress the need for adding a high quality forage. The feed that comes out of a silo is only going to be as good as the feed that goes into it. Putting the crop into the silo when it is mature will assure a greater dry matter, but in this case would defeat the purpose of the silo—that of obtaining a high quality, palatable roughage. Less mature forage is more palatable and more is eaten per animal re gardless of whether it is used for pasture, hay, or silage. When it is hay or silage making time, there is no job more important on the livestock or dairy farm. Cut early and save the leaves for more net return. Oscar Hagg, Oregon State col lege dairy specialist, indicates that farm bulk milk tanks arc still on the increase on Oregon dairy farms. As of May 1, there were 996 bulk milk tanks instal led on dairy farms in the state. Grade A dairys that do not have tanks are being encouraged in various ways to make installa tions. The fact that the number of dairymen who are shipping milk in cans is becoming less, the Hors a Free Damonitralion Today Phone HA 9-3462 THE EAGLE. VERNONIA, ORE.

It is too early to say just how serious the damage is, but at this writing, the breaking ot the dike of the Columbia drain age district number one indicates that the production of the Co lumbia county portion of Sauvies Island will be pretty well cancell ed out this season Most of the folks of that area are dairymen, and they will be hard pressed for feed again this year to say nothing of the cost they will have to bear in repairing the damage to fields and property.
