FARM BUREAU
FOR 1921
Potato Improvement
Meetings were neid throughout
the county last spring in connection
with the potato work. It was felt
necessary to put on a thorough
campaign in ordei* to control the
disease which is spreading so rapid
ly in the county. At these meetings
208 men signed up to maise seed
plots. Letters were sent to all of
these men with instructions as to
Inspecting the potatoes and roug
ing out the diser-od plants and
those not true fo type. The fields
were visited personally as :fiar as
the county agent's time would per
mit. Before digging time the best
hills were staked off, and these
hills were dug separately to use in
similar seed plots next year. The
rest of the potatoes from the plots
will be used for seed in commercial
fields.
The final reports turned In by the
farmers showed that the average
yield per acre was seventy-five
sacks per acre above the average
yield on the commercial fields. A
majority of the farmers signing up
completed the work and were very
satisfied with the results obtained.
As a result of this extensive po
tato work -we hiave In the county
about 6,000 sacks of potatoes which
are eligible for certification and
10,500 sacks of potatoes which will
be recommended to those who can
not afford to buy the certified seed.
These recommendations are based
on yield, freedom from disease and
type.
A potato excursion was held on
August 8, when thirty-five Bingham
County farmers went 1n cars to 9t.
Anthony to inspect the famous po
tato fields in that section. They
were met by County Agent White
and the Commercial club of St. An
thony and received a hearty wel
come as well as some important in
formation.
Grain Improvement
Many grain fields were inspected
with a view to certification, and to
give suggestions to improve the
crops. The following will probably
be certified: 5,000 bushels of
Dicklow wheat, 450 bushels of Kan
red wheat, 1500 bushels of Idamine
oats and a small amount of Trebi
Barley. 400 bushels of Early Barte
wheat has been approved.
Rodent Control
Seven demonstrations were held
in Aberdeen to instruct the farmers
in poisoning gophers. A great deal
of damage is being done in that sec
tion along the canal banks. Mr.
John Finley, State Biological As
sistant, gave the instructions at the
demonstrations.
About. 5,000 acre sof land has
been poisoned for squirrels. This
work has been done by individual
farmers who purchased their stry
chnine through the County Agent's
office. The county pays half the
cost of this strychnine.
Several rabbit drives were held
during the winter months and many
of these pests driven to their death.
Rabbit poisoning campaigns were
also carried on in Pingree, Spring
field and Sterling.
Insect Control
The Grimm alfalfa seed growers
in this county bought ten spraying
machines cooperatively to use in
combatting the alfalfa weevil. Mr.
Claude Wakeland, State Entoanoli
giat, made several trips into the
county to assist in this work, and
carried on eight demonstrations to
determine whether it is profitable
to spray twice in one season on al
falfa raised for seed purpoees.
The spraying proved very satis
factory and will be continued next
year. 7,800 pounds of Calcium Ar
semate was used in spraying, which
was bought cooperatively at 12
cents per pound f. o«. to. Midvale,
Utah.
Livestock
Abaut twenty cars of corn was
purchased coop era tl veil y and| Ship
ped in from Kearney, Nebraska, to
use in fattening hogs and cattle
This made It possible to fit the
stock for market at a much lower
cost.
290 head of cattle were tested
for tuberculosis by Dr. Shipley, with
two re-actors. 175 head have been
vaocinated for blackleg.
Dairying
Many of the farmers in Bingham
County are very desirous of keep
ing a few dairy cows on the farms
to insure a steady income. Several
meetings have ibeen held for the pur
pose of promoting dairying and the
farmers are now ready to ship in a
few oars of dairy cattle if finances
can be obtained. Up to date it has
been impossible to get the needed
credit for this project but the coun
ty agent is still searching for some
means of obtaining funds to pro
mote this worthy cause.
Marketing
The Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed
Growers Association was organized
for the purpose of marketing the
Grimm alfalfa seed in the county.
A wool pool was organized and
23,000 pounds of wool sold. Nearly
all of this wool was in very small
quantities and a great many clips
were of an inferior grade and not
well prepared for mrket. It would
have been almost impossible for the
farmers to have sold these small
lots individually at any price.
Eleven cars of hogs were market
ed and one car of lambs. The hogs

STANDARDIZATION OF
DANGER SIGNS NEEDED
Standardize danger signs along
American roadways! Make them
alike from coast to coast.
So urges the Bureau of Public
Roads, United States Department of
Agriculture. The recommendation
is made for the consideration of
highway officials, automobile or
ganizations, municipal officials, and
other persons interested in the ob
servance of safety week which be
gan December 4.
By standardization of all high
way danger signs, the department
believes automobile accidents may
be lessened. Deaths from automo
bile accidents have nearly doubled
since 1915, and the rapid increase
of such accidents, the department
believes, can he appreciably check
ed by the adoption of danger signs,
easily read and distinctive, along
American highways.
A tourist at the present time will
see almost as many kinds of signs
as there are states he visits. Also, in
some oases, the style of sign Changes
in going from one county to anoth
er.
The subject is now under consid
eration by a committee of the Am
erican Association of State High
way officials.
