April 28. 1960 FARM AND H IE USDA's Surplus Foods Are Being Well Utilized By Needy Citizens Great quantities of "Surplus" foods are being provided without charge to people who can put such foods to good use, a recent Department of Agriculture report shows. In one year alone (1959 fiscal), a total of 21,241,000 people in all States and territories benefited from the distribution of around 1,113 million pounds of such surplus foods. children Recipients included through school lunches, and needy persons in both institutions and family units. ac- Are Moving Into Houses Clover mites are on the move again, Worse, the "friendly fellows" are moving right in with home owners, County Agent Ray Finch reports. Admittedly their visit wouldn't be quite so unwelcome if they didn't leave such a messy reddish stain when smashed. And they are always getting smashed. Especially on blinds, drapes, curtains and other household furnishings. These unwanted colorations are more than a little annoying, especially when a lot of the mites visit you. Finch suggests, at the risk of seeming inhospitable, you deter these determined visits by spraying malathon on the lower walls and foundations and over a 20- foot strip of lawn soil on the G,f A.M.

Most of our feeders in the coun ty have been feeding hormones to their feeder cattle for several years. They have used the hormones both orally in the feed and as ear implants.

Now is the safe time to dehorn older animals. But it is safer still to aenorn cattle wnen they are calves. The chemical method of dehorn ing is best if the calf is not over 10 days old. Caustic potash or soda in paste, liquid or stick form, can be applied to the horn button But it is important not to get it on the skin. Vaseline around the treated area will help protect the animal's head, eyes, and face. For calves over two weeks, an electric dehorner can be used, burning deep enough to remove the button. However, it should not burn so deeply as to make a bad scar. A knife-lik- e tool, variously call ed a spoon, or tube, can be used on animals up to two months of age. A Barnes dehorner is suitable for animals from two to eight months old. A saw should be used on horns of mature animals. Attention to these and other de tails of proper management, such as pulling blood vessels, applying blood stopper and being as clean as possible will go a long way to ward minimizing hazards assocl ated with removing horns of cattle. sunny south side of the house.

Nish of the Box Elder County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee today urged wool growers who sold wool or lambs during the 1959 marketing year which ended March 31 to file for payment their applications under the national wool program as early in April as possible. Early filing is highly desirable, Mr. Nish said, because the information on applications is needed for use in computing the average price received by growers. This must be done before the payment rates for shorn wool and unshorn lambs can be determined. Since April 30 falls on Satur day this year, the final date for filing applications is May 2, 1960. The applications being filed at this time are to show all sales of wool and unshorn lambs during the period between April 1, 1959 and March 31, 1960. For a sale to be considered completed during that period, title must have passed to the buyer, the wool must have been delivered, and the last of the factors needed to determine the net sales proceeds must be avail able.

Merrill N. Warnick of Pleasant Grove, Utah, is a highly successful dairy farmer who uses proper management methods and sufficient fertilizer to obtain maximum yields. On corn, he applies 10 to 15 tons of manure per acre more than 150 pounds of available nitrogen. He supplements this with an application of USS Ammonium Nitrate. The result: High feed for his dairy cattle. yields and Mr. Warnick believes the nitrogen gives him a better stand of corn; the commercial fertilizer aids in converting the manure to available nitrogen. "Proper fertilization, like any good farm practice, pays off in higher yields and profits," says Mr. Warnick. Insist on USS Nitrogen Fertilizers for your crops this year.
