FARM BUREAU NEWS By County Farm Advisor Spray for Aphis or Plant Lice The aphis will be making their appearance on various crops soon, hence all crops should be watched so that the infestation may be stopped as soon as possible. If the infested area is well sprayed as soon as the outbreak is noticed, it may not be necessary to cover the entire crop. "Blackleaf 40" or other tobacco decoctions are the best spray for aphis. Use as follows: - Blackleaf 40 ...1 pint. - Soap powder ...3 pounds. - Water ...100 gallons The soap acts as a spreader and should be dissolved in warm water before putting into the spray tank. For house plants use one teaspoonful of blackleaf, one ounce of yellow laundry soap, and one gallon of water. Dissolve soap and mix. The insects must be touched by the spray in order to kill them. Use a spraying machine with plenty of pressure. American Foulbrood of Bees American foulbrood is a disease of the brood of bees which is causing great losses to American beekeepers. It has existed almost since bees were first brought to North America. It is important that the beekeeper should know whether American foulbrood or European foulbrood is in his apiary, for the two do not respond to the same treatment, according to Farmer's Bulletin 1084, Control of American Foulbrood, recently issued by the United States department of agriculture. It's "Milk" Cow—Not "Milch" Cow Hereafter it will be "milk" cow and not "milch" cow—at least so far as the United States department of agriculture is concerned. This decision marks the termination of a controversy in which etymologists in the department have had not a little interest.

It has existed almost since bees were first brought to North America. It is important that the beekeeper should know whether American foulbrood or European foulbrood is in his apiary, for the two do not respond to the same treatment, according to Farmer's Bulletin 1084, Control of American Foulbrood, recently issued by the United States department of agriculture. In American foulbrood control it is necessary that all combs, honey, and other materials from the inside of the hive be taken from the bees and that a chance be given them to establish themselves again on new combs. Several methods are given in this bulletin, but the underlying principle is the same in all cases. No measures which the beekeeper may take will put his bees in such condition that they will not contract this disease, but by guarding them from infection he may save himself much worry and financial loss. The facts about the disease on which the treatment is based are discussed in this bulletin and the treatment is described in full. The bulletin will be sent free on request. Home-Grown Supplies Cut Cost Why can the farmer continue in business when the financial summary of his operations shows, at the end of the year, a margin of profit so small as to be insufficient to support his family? It is because of the food, fuel, and shelter furnished the family by the farm. "These contributions," says the United States department of agriculture, "are not a cash receipt from the farm business, but they enable the farmer to reduce materially the cash cost of living." So far as food, fuel, and shelter are concerned two-thirds of the farmer's living is furnished directly by the farm. The food retained for family use may be raised especially for the family or may be taken from the regular farm products raised for market. No farm plan seems complete without its family garden. A part of the day's supply of milk and a part of the day's collection of eggs is used in preparing meals for the family. Similarly, other food products are diverted to the pantry, cellar or smokehouse, instead of being blow some of the sulphur too far, is detrimental to a good job. It's "Milk" Cow—Not "Milch" Cow Hereafter it will be "milk" cow and not "milch" cow—at least so far as the United States department of agriculture is concerned. This decision marks the termination of a controversy in which etymologists in the department have had not a little interest. Those defending "milch" have pointed to Scriptural use and certain of the classics as establishing precedents, while the opposition has contended that dairy men, ranchmen, and farmers in general use "milk" instead of "milch" almost universally. The advocates of "milk" also favored that word because, they contended, it was more strictly an English word, while "milch' was akin to German. Since Americanization of language as well as ideals is an article in every patriot's creed, it is thought that this last ally of the "milk" defenders helped as much as any to decide the question in their favor. Soil-Building Power of Trees Certain kinds of trees, like the locust and the acacia, build up poor soil through the nitrogen-gathering bacteria in the root nodules, according to the forest service, United States department of agriculture. The soil-building power of trees on slopes is a fact which the farmer should not overlook. Steep lands, which have been cleared of timber at much expense, after being cultivated for a few years, often become gullied, and the rich lands adjoining are covered with deep deposits of sand. The surest and cheapest method of protecting such slopes is to maintain forests on them. Small gullies can be stopped up by closely packed brush and tree tops, anchored by stakes if necessary. Lane, open gullies are checked successfully only by planting over the entire gully basin, supplemented by low brush dams across the larger units of the gully.

A part of the day's supply of milk and a part of the day's collection of eggs is used in preparing meals for the family. Similarly, other food products are diverted to the pantry, cellar or smokehouse, instead of being sent to town to be sold. The farm woodlot, condemned fruit trees, discarded fence rails and posts, and pruning wood furnish fuel for cooking and heating. These perquisites are not furnished altogether free of cost to the farmer. They represent labor and invested capital. Much of the labor, however, is performed at times when the work of the main farm business is not very pressing and frequently a considerable part of it is done by women or children. Thus the actual money cost of these things to the farmer is insignificant or at most is considerably less than it would be if they were bought. Pictures and descriptions of important methods followed by farmers in utilizing the food, fuel, shelter, and other things that the farm furnishes free of money cost are published by the United States department of agriculture in Farmers' Bulletin 1082, Home Supplies Furnished by the Farm.

Milk a Necessary Diet Dean Van Norman was accompanied by Sam H. Greene, secretary and manager of the California Dairy Council, recently at the Rotary Club luncheon, at Santa Ana. Mr. Greene explained that the dairy council is not a dairymen's organization exclusively, but that its purpose is entirely educative and it does not engage in business. The facts made by Greene aroused a great deal of interest and at the close of his talk an animated discussion followed. The survey of the elementary schools that was made by the council recently revealed a surprising amount of ignorance on the part of parents with respect to the place occupied by dairy product in the diet. Approximately 75 per cent of the children in the cities where the survey was made did not receive a sufficient amount of dairy products daily to promote normal growth and physical development. Fortunately poverty accounts for a very small proportion of these under-nourished children. Mr. Greene made an appeal of the business men of Santa Ana to encourage in every practical way a more liberal use of milk and the other dairy products. There is, he said, a mysterious element which is found only in the fat of milk, and which is not found in any other animal or vegetable fat, except in the fat of the yolk of eggs to a slight degree. This mysterious element is commonly known as vitamins. If a sufficient amount is included in Pruning Demons A series of foxions on deciduous scheduled by the held at four different county. Dr. J. C.

A recent study the diet there is normal growth and development, but if an insufficient quantity is taken growth is stunted and in the more severe cases, eye troubles and other diseases follow. Greene claimed that it is a patriotic duty to educated people to understand and appreciate the important role which milk and the other dairy products play in the growth and development of a nation. Dean Van Norman then addressed the Rotarians, and in part said: "The large cities of today are only possible because the improved machinery has enabled the man who lives in the country to produce food, not only for himself but for the people who live in the cities. Machinery is the great factor in this increased production. "With the inducements offered by the city we are reaching a time when the country is undersupplied with labor and machinery cannot wholly make up this difficulty. If this continues, as seems probable, the next ten years will offer the best opportunity to young men engaged in agriculture that we have ever seen. The young man who is willing to work for himself will find that ten hours of labor on the farm will buy more of the world's goods than ever before, and probably more than ten hours in many other occupations, for as food gets scarcer people in the city will bid higher to get it." Dairy Membership Campaign Begun The executive committee of the farm bureau dairy department met last Saturday to outline a county-wide membership campaign to enlist all the dairies in Orange county. A membership fee of $5 per year to include the $2 farm bureau fee was decided upon. Seven dairymen, who have taken a lead in the organization of the dairy department, J. T. Raitt, P. H. Krick, J. J. Kelley, Dr. G. W. Closson, F. D. Plavan, H. L. Wakeham and M. Babylon, were assigned districts in which to work their committees. These committees have set out to get the last dairyman in the county. They do not propose to hold the umbrella for any dairy. The matter of cooperative buying was discussed, but owing to the limited membership as yet no action will be taken until the membership campaign has been completed. A dairymen's picnic for Orange county is being planned by the new dairy department. The time and place will be announced later.

When refrigerators are secured they are packed 50 per cent Farm Bureau on the Jap Question The directors of the Orange county farm bureau will put the Oriental question before the thirteen farm bureau centers during the coming month. The state farm bureau federal is compiling a summary of the ballots from every county in the state in order to know, the exact stand of the rural population on these questions. The following are the questions to be voted on in each center this month: 1. Should Japanese immigration into the United States be permitted? 2. Should Japanese be permitted to lease or rent land in the United States? 3. Should Japanese be permitted to own land in the United States? 4. Should Japanese enter the United States as bonded laborers? 5. Should picture bride practices be permitted? 6. Should Chinese immigration to the United States be permitted? 7.

Do you favor an amendment to More Corn Roughage Important The feeding value of corn silage, corn fodder, and corn stover in the dairy ration is not sufficiently appreciated, especially if leguminous hay is not plentiful, says a specialist of the dairy division, United States department of agriculture. A recent study of records from cow-testing associations points to the conclusion that the growing of more corn roughage and less nonleguminous hay would increase the profitability of the ration. In all sections where legumes thrive it is, of course, advisable to grow them, as their value is well recognized for feeding dairy cattle. In fact, from a study of cow-testing association reports, it would seem that even grain does not fully take the place of good legume roughage. It is in those sections where feed is scarce or expensive that dairymen may well consider the growing of more corn roughage and less nonleguminous hay. Few plants apparently contain all the substances required to nourish properly the animal body, but in the light of present knowledge the corn plant seems to be one of these. It is possible to balance a ration from corn products only that will enable the animals to thrive and reproduce with apparently no ill effects. This is not the case with many other crops. Corn, then, has unusual feeding properties. Experimental work done at the South Carolina and Pennsylvania stations has shown that its practical under some conditions to feed dairy cows on a ration of corn silage and grain without hay. Such a ration has been used successfully in feeding beef steers. Reports from one cow-testing association show an unusually high income over cost of feed and large production per cow is in a district where the dairymen have practically discontinued the feeding of hay, but instead feed silage and corn fodder. In this association the grain ration is also composed largely of corn by-products. No matter what other conclusions may be drawn from the evidence available showing the value of corn fodder and corn silage as dairy feeds, it seems certain that the corn plant provides an excellent roughage. Citrus Shipments Handicapped Manager Post of the McPherson Heights packing house addressed the El Modena farm center last week on the traffic troubles of the shipper. Cars have been almost impossible to get. Box cars are now being utilized by the packing houses. Every means is being taken to get the fruit on to the market. When refrigerators are secured they are packed 50 per cent and more over normal capacity. Post gave a very interesting talk on the shipping situation. Mr. Brunton of the Orange high school spoke to the El Modenans on the great need for more room in that school. Boys and girls are compelled to crowd into large classes where efficiency was handicapped. The school is much too small for the demands made upon it. Brunton spoke for the proposed bonds for enlarging the use of large gatherings in the Orange district. Prof. Reed presented a splendid school program at the Center which was enjoyed by the 300 present. W. M. Belding, president of the farm bureau, also gave a short talk on farm bureau activities in the north. Walnut Worm Season Late The continued cool weather has delayed the development of the first brood of codling moth in the walnuts. Men in the field who have been watching the progress of the worm find that the small number now out does not justify the expense of putting on a dust or spray at this time. The period of spraying activity should coincide with the period of the largest brood of the worms. This will be from May 27 to June 22 this year. Aphis is developing slowly too with the retarded growth of the trees and the coolness of the season. In dusting for worms 7 or 8 pounds of the combination arsenate and nicotine dust is used per tree on the average. For this purpose only a 1 per cent nicotine dust is necessary. This dust is recommended where only the worm or both worm and aphis are present. In case of aphis alone, the 2 per cent nicotine dust should be used, about 3-4 pound to the average sized tree, which may be applied as a fog. Dusting for worms must be heavier. Should Hindus be permitted to lease or rent land in the United States? Should Hindus be permitted to own land in the United States? Should Hindus enter the United States as bonded laborers? Should Mexican immigration to the United States be permitted? Should Mexicans be permitted to own land in the United States Should Mexicans enter the United States as bonded laborers? Do you favor an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to the effect that no child born in the United States of foreign parents shall be considered an American citizen unless both parents are of a race that is eligible to citizenship? Do you favor re-enactment of the daylight saving law by the state? Every farm bureau member should be out to cast his vote. These issues are of great significance for the future of the state. Classes to Visit Orange County The farm advisor has prepared itineraries for two university agricultural classes which are coming to Orange county to study the citrus industry and soil conditions in various districts. The trip will include the bean lands, walnut groves, citrus sections, the drainage districts and sugar beet fields. Dr. Coit's class arrives June 3 and Prof. R. L. Adams' class comes June 18.

In this association the grain ration is also composed largely of corn by-products. No matter what other conclusions may be drawn from the evidence available showing the value of corn fodder and corn silage as dairy feeds, it seems certain that the corn plant provides an excellent roughage. Hay is often damaged very much by becoming overripe. Storms damage it seriously. The feeding value of corn is not damaged by its becoming mature, and if it is properly shocked storms do little damage to it. There are undoubtedly many dairy men who can well consider the wisdom of reducing the amount of nonleguminous hay produced, of increasing their pasture, and of growing more leguminous feed, corn fodder, and silage to feed their dairy cows. Pruning Demonstration May 28 and 29 A series of four pruning demonstrations on deciduous fruits has been scheduled by the farm bureau to be held at four different sections of the county. Dr. J. C. Whitten, head of the horticultural division of the College of Agriculture, will assist the farm advisor in these field demonstrations, which will show supplementary pruning in connection with he regular winter pruning methods. These meetings are called especially for apricot, apple and peach growers. Good attendance is urged to justify bringing Dr. Whitten in to the county from Berkeley. The following demonstration places have been designated: May 28—West Orange, Jas. Smiley's. Backache pains often come from weak kidneys. Twould save much needless woe.
