    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

successful in his instance, and we
pass it along for what it is worth.
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

Damage caused Columbia coun­
ty farmers by the flooding Co­
lumbia river is going to be sub­
stantial. 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.
