A I A RO U N D THE FARM By Don Coin Walrod Weights of farm livestock are vital ly important to stockmen and others but relatively few have facilities for weighing. Perhaps most operations in the county are not of sufficient size to justify such equipment, but there are methods whereby quite ac curate weights can be determined if the animals are gentle enough to be handled. Research workers at the Universi ty of Nebraska have recently pub lished information on ways to deter mine the birth weights of calves, us ing a tape measure. Over the years, other workers have developed means for making determinations on all classes of live stock by means of special measure ments. The resulting weights will not be exact but will still be much better than guessing, and if used on a group of animals, provides of con sistency. Mimeograpns of the information necessary for weight determination by measurement can be secured by request from the county extension of fice. In commenting upon the use of in secticides on mites, William A. Al len, entomologist at the University of California, makes some comments about these materials that are perti nent to the entire field of pesticides. Allen said, “it has become plainly evident that the development of re sistance is an inherent weakness with nearly all, if not all, pesticides. This is why many people are saying that insecticides are the wrong approach to pest control, and why there has been a trend towards emphasizing new approaches for insect and mite control. Some of these include radio active irradiation of male insects, chemosterilands, anti-feeding com pounds and the use of attractants LODGE AND CLUB NOTICES VERNONIA LIONS CLUB MEETS FIRST AND THIRD MONDAY EACH MONTH 6:30 P.M..

No individual farmer could possibly make effective tests and valuations of the numerous varieties, but ex periment stations can and do, often doing some of the testing on a local basis with branch stations or co operating farmers and extension agents. One relatively new variety of or chard grass that seems to have con siderable promise is one called Penn- late. It has good disease resistance, good yields and matures later than many, making it desirable for many northwest conditions. Seed supplies are limited this year, but there may be enough for those interested in trying it. It looks like a good grass to go with New Zealand white clover for a combination of si lage-hay, or pasture. It should be an excellent grass to plant along with alfalfa. Better plan to order in ad vance of your needs if you want the After looking at a 20 or 40 acre field of alfalfa planted last year, what do you tell a farmer to do after he has invested as much as $50 per acre but the crop is a failure simply because there are no nodules or rhi- zobia, the nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots? We have looked at such fields re cently. In one the stand of alfalfa plants was excellent but otherwise the field was obviously sick. Scatter ed over the field was an occasional plant that was obviously vigorous as it was six inches in height with good green color. Otherwise the plants were one-half to three inches high with a yellow and unthrifty appear ance. Examination of the roots of the thrifty plants showed an abun dance of nodules while absolutely no nodules could be found on the weak plants. If the shoe fits, your foot probably would look better in a size smaller. There are six negro colonels in the U. S. Army. LUBE JOB TIME? When it’s time for a lube job, see us.
