Nev July Cattle thrive on Russian thistles in White Pine county declares Joe Chstillo Schellbourne rancher Castillo took exception to the claim that cattle would not eat Russian thistles He made a survey of his range over a period of two months and reported cattle preferred the green thistles to other forage and compared it to alfalfa for fattening purposes Proof of his assertion is shown in his cattle which are in good condition Special to The Tribune SPANISH FORK-The Del Monte plant of the Utah Packing corporation at Spanish Fork has completed the canning of peas announces Manager Anderson The pecrop this year was about two-thirds of normal and much below that of 1935 which was ait exceptional year This shortage was not due to aphis which has infected the Springville fields it is reported but rather due to the extreme weather conditions A late frost damaged the young peas considerably and the extremely hot weather just before cutting prevented them from! filling as they should In spite of these conditions the pack was about two-thirds of normal and employment was given to a considerable fpree of men and women The run commenced June 23 and finished July 15 From 200 persons to 500 were employed at the peak of the season While the management states it is not possible to list the number of cases put out at the present time it was considerably less than last year The program for soil conservation in' the United States calls for the growing of soil-building brops There has been a notable lack of such activity among the farmers Too many cultivated -crops have been raised and1 as 'a result the organic matter has decreased the soils have been left loose and subjected to erosion Influences Because of this the soil-building program has necessitated the requirement that soil-building crops be grown Tp build up the soil involves the incorporation of legumes and pasture grasses in the farming system It is interesting to note the results reported from the Pennsylvania experiment station: "It was found that after 55 years under two systems of crop production growing continuous grass crops and cultivated crops the grass land soils contained an average of 16299 pounds per acre of organic matter and 818 pounds of nitrogen in excess of the cultivated Grass lands indeed do contribute to organic matter increase resulting In a prevention of soil looseness which if allowed to develop would permit the wind to carry the surface soil away and contribute to the dust storms which are an increasing danger at the present time The nitrogen content increases too" in the soil where grass is al- i lowed to grow If the grass Is of! the legume kind then nitrogen is liable to be increased very much if1 they are plowed under as green manure The states of Pennsylvania West Virginia New York Illinois Tennessee Washirfgton Minnesota and Rhode Island reported experiments recently which indicate that if one would build up the organic matter and nitrogen content of one's soil one must practice a system which involves the growing of grass and legume crops as a part of the rotation system The United States department of agriculture has recently urged a farming practice which makes more frequent use of grasses and legumes and less frequent use of cultivated crops in the rotation This it is said in most cases makes possible the conservation of our soil resources Wool Market Shows Little Price Change Manufacturers Deofere They Expect Prices to Advance During Fall Preffo Special to The Tribune TWIN FALLS Idaho-Four cases of brain fever among horses have been diagnosed by veterinarians In south central Idaho announces Dr Groome director in the state veterinary medical association Two of the cases were reported by Dr Shott in the Hagerman valley and two by Dr Ikard in Jerome county The disease outbreaks of which have been common duridg July and August through Nevada Utah and Idaho for several years has killed large numbers of animals The loss is placed at several hundred thousand dollars Filtrable Virus Scientifically referred to as encephalomyelitis brain fever is caused by a filtrable virus and is now believed by medical authorities to be transmitted by flies and certain species of mosquitoes Symptoms of the malady are that horses frequently stagger appear drowsy and often support themselves against fences or other objects Yawning is comihon among to 20 days' duration of the As a rule only about one eight or ten horses exposed to disease is infected but the in an outbreak among animals runs as high as pent Not Transmitted fever is rarely if ever transmitted from sick animals to well by contact but protection mosquitoes and flies is important Dr Groome declared Since there have been more than cases of the disease in Utah in Nevada and 300 in Idaho animals should be kept quiet cool place protected against self-injury and provided with plenty green food and water The administration of serum has produced encouraging results in some instances wnen given early and in doses Dr Groome reported SOME FEEDING POINTERS The scientific feeding of livestock is not generally a very complicated affair although made" agricultural developments sometimes impose certain conditions that require adjustments for success Many a practical stockman and feeder has through experience determined the most scientific and practical rations for his livestock for the majority there remains the opportunity to study available informa tion and as one sage has remarked the grain from the chaff or else on the chaff" Don't Overfeed With an abundance of leafy pea-green alfalfa hay available at this season of the year overfeed it Horses shouldn't eat over 1 pounds per 100 pounds liveweight and most efficient rations should always contain carbonaceous feeds as well Horses getting all the alfalfa hay they can consume are prone to sweat profusely and be seriously handicapped in their ability to work It is always so much more efficient to feed a balanced ration that the experienced feeder searches around for any missing link that may be needbd 'to cut production costs to the lowest ltfvel In feeding alfalfa such feeds as straw beet molasses or other beet by-products corn fodder or silage are among those that will do the trick while small grains are generally in order for fattening cattle or for heavy milk production Feeding In feeding swine there is nothing quite equal to the dairy byproducts skimmilk and buttermilk to balance the grain fed Meat-meal tankage rates a close second to Expert Outlines Best Methods to4 Insure Returns for Industry By HABRY SMITH lTtah State Agricultural' College Proper feeding is of prime importance in producing hogs but there are other things which must receive attention to make the undertaking successful One of the most important of these Is sanitation in fact sanitation and exercise are so closely related that it is almost necessary to discuss them together The problem of the raising of healthy hogs is largely one of sani tation Many diseases are caused by their being kept in filthy surroundings Old hog pens unclean hog houses and hog wallows are danger spots Houses should be kept clean and cleaned each year before the pigs are born The lots should be plowed once in two years and sown to some crop Sudan grass or rape is ideal for this purpose Breed Germs Hog wallows of the mud hole type Should never be permitted They are potent breeders of disease germs Hog wallows are not necessary or beneficial A good shade which should always be provided during the summer answers the same purpose more efficiently When hog houses are cleaned they Should be washed out with a strong solution of lyp water made by mixing one pound of lye with 10 gallons of bulling water This is about the only disinfectant that is practical to use and will destroy the eggs of the round worms None of the commonly used disinfectant dips affect the eggs of this parasite Hogs are also subject to some ex' ternal parasites which if not controlled do much damage the most common of which is the hog louse Fortunately they are easy to control Crankcase oil obtained from any filling station is cheap and just as effective as other aids though any of the common creosote dips will kill the hce Where a large number of pigs are to be treated and there is no dipping vat they may be treated by crowding them into a pen and either spraying the disinfectant over them or throwing it over them with a small cup If only a few are to be treated this can be easily done by using a brush Saturate the brush with the oil or dip and brush behind the ears the arm pits along the belly and between the hind legs as these are the places where the lice will usually be found If the crankcase oil Is applied along their backs it may cause the "lair to slip if the weather is hot or if the animals are run out in the sun Prey to Cholera The only contagious disease which seriously affects hogs is cholera The only known treatment to combat the disease is to give the double treatment method which makes the pigs immune for life Since the amount of medicine needed for immunization is dependent on the size of the pig the best time to vaccinate Xor cholera la about weaning time Hogs are also subject to and every year this disease takes a heavy toll most of which can be prevented by providing the hogs with quarters which are dry and free from drafts Fresh air sunshine exercise and clean quarters are all important factors in hog production either of which can determine the

Hooper secretary of the Utah Wool Marketing association The balance of the report follows in part: For the most part holders of good wool in this market believe in it and are refusing to accept lower bids ntrw being made by topmakers The weak spot' however is the offerings being made from country points The growers still owning about 75 million pounds of the 1936 clip hold the key to the market situation Higher Prices Seen Many of the manufacturers freely admit they expect higher values in the fall Statistics show that in 10 years out of 13 the market softens in July Larger mills are now com' pleting the manufacture of heavy weight cloth and the lightweight season is not yet under way Good territory wool controlled by dealers in the majority of cases is held for higher values Little wool is available on Summer street at less than 82 83 cents clean The majority is held for 85 cents and above There are instances I fowl however where shabby topmaking wool of class 5 type has been sold as low as 80 cents clean and not a few clips now held at country points in Wyoming Montana New Mexico and elsewhere are pressing for sale Very little Is being done in the fleece wool division of
