Willi wheat above tho ?2 mark and facing a prospect of Bllll higher altitude, that Wulla Walla farmer who recently pnid J72,00u for 1400 acres of land, half of It In winter wheat, has an eye to business. He anticipates cIobo to 30,000 bushels from those 700 acres, so it Is easy to see I hut he haB got a sure thing in a get rich quick scheme. In order to protoct tho consumer tho food controller of tho United Kingdom, nftor consultation with the agricultural departments' of Great Hritnin and irolund, has decided that growers of domestic wheat shall not ehurgo for the 1017 crop a prlco above $1.7-1 the bushel. The ques tion now Is, can the speculator be controlled. If the United Kingdom hns no better success in this endeav or thun does Undo Sam in con trolling speculators here, tho con sumer of England is likely to be hit hard In 1917. Tho proposition of allowing boys in the high school crodlls for n full year's work, whore they are obliged to leavo school in order to asBlst in farm work, is meeting wltii favor. The mattor has been taken up with Ktulo Superintendent Churchill, and favornhlo action is anticipated. It Is believed tho food problem Is Just an Important as securing young mem for enlistments, and as high school students who enter tho army are al lowed credilH for the full year, young men who must sacrifice Bchool in terests for farm work are entitled to the favor. During March, according to tho United States secretary of agricul ture, tho lovel of prices paid produc ers of the principal crops increased about 9.1 per cent. On April 1 the Index figure of prices was noatiy Ii0.fi per cent higher than a year ago. Tho tendency Is upward, and hind ers are practically assured of top notch figures fur everything they can raise this season. On this account every rancher ought to pretty nearly sit up nights to finish his seeding anil planting us early as possible, bo that tho benefit of a long growing season will bo enjoyed. "Our navy department mndo a bad blunder In allowing tho Scorpion to become Internet) at Conxtuntinoplo," nays the Boston Herald. "There was plenty of time for ordering her out to sea. but no one seems to have at tended to doing so. The result Is that two olllcem and seventy five sailors on board the ship are liable to bo subjected to the cruelties and abuses which tho Turks customarily inflict on their prisoners of war. It Is thus not an ordinary caso of In ternment, such as the Germans suf fer In this country, but a risk of Turkish bnrbnrlly. Anil it hns all been so needless. The ship could have been sent out lo sea. Tliero she would have added one more to America's complement." SALEM, April 24.

Carbon bisulphide, when properly applied, la one of the most humane, economical and effective agencies In ground Bquirrol extermination. It is liquid, which, when put into tho borrows on some cotton or waste, very rapidly forms a heavy gas which sinks down Into tho burrow and suf focutes tho Bqulrrel. It Bhould bo ap plied In doses of about two table spoonsful one uose to end holo of a den. As trcatod, each holo should bo closod with a shovelful of earth, and when all tho holes have been filled, two or throe of tho holes should bo opened and exploded by throwing a ughled match down Into them. The holes should be closed im mediately and tho work Is done. Great cars bIiou. bo taken to koep tho fire away from tho carbon bi sulphide you arc using. Carbon bi sulphide may -o used at any time of tho year but Is more effectlvo in spring and enrly summer when the ground la moist. A den enn bo told by tho fact, that all of tho burrowB belonging to it run townrds Its center, it may cover a radius of 50 to 70 feet. The use of enrbon hlsulphldo Is humane In that Its action is similar to that of c...oroforni, and there is no teiTiblo suffering as in tho trap ping nietllou, anil unliko trapping or poisoning, thore nro no young left behind in the dctiB to starve to death. It kills no benellcial, game or song birds. Tests on a largo scale are showing thnt It is not ns expensive as trap ping, for when thoroughly done you need go ovor tho territory but once.
