Control Measures Should '
Begin Now; Poison Bait
Formula Offered.
Home o w tiers Hint gardeners
troubled with earwigs should begin
control measures without delay.
Large numbers of young earwigs
can now be found around walks, un
der stones, and debris in the yard
ur mound the garden, according to
J. Kolaiid Parker, county agricul
tural agent. To .keep down Infesta
tion, young earwigs should be poi
soned before they reach sufficient
size, to climb into shrubs, flowers
und vegetable plants.
A sutislaciory poison bait for
ftrwlgH consists. of VI lb.", bran, I
pound sodium flnocilicaie (or so
lium fluoridei, and 1 quart of fish
oil. The bran and sodium fluocili-
:aie, or sodium fluoride, whichever
Is used, should he thoroughly mlx-
I together, then add fish oil slow
ly and thoroughly mix.
It is best to keep the mixed bait
in a metal container as paper bags,
icks, or wooden containers will ab
ih much of the oil from the bait.
The bait should be placed In
small piles about the foundations
if buildings, along walks, around
shrubbery, or w herever earw igs are
lound. No more lhail a small pinch
a heaping teaspoon full should
he spread in" any one place. Per
sons using the above formula for
killing earwigs should take care to
see that the poison bait is kept
away Horn children, dogs. cats,
poultry and other livestock. The
poison is only effective it it can be
kept dry. After rains new bail
should he placed if the earwigs are
giving trouble.
Anyone desiring- printed instruc
tions for making or using of poison
earwig bait (jtn secure a copy by
calling at the county agent's office
or w riling.

proper cooking, in addition to
proper storage methods, is vital in
obtaining maximum satisfaction
from tne rapidly grow in g locker
storage movement, delegates to the
Northwest Frozen Foods Locker as
sociation conference v. ere told at
their second annual conference held
ut (JSC late lu April.
Ordinary methods of cooking
vegetable are not always the best
for frozen foods, according to .Mil
dred Hoggs, foods research special
ist of Washington Stale college.
Standard meat cookery Is more ap
plicable lo both fresh and frozen
meat, the delegates w ere told by
Apnes AL Kolshorn of the foods
nutrition department at OSC.
.Miss Hoggs, who has been con
ducting extensive research in froz
en vegetable cookery lu cooperation
with the Cnited Slates department
lot' agriculture frozen foods labora
tories at Seattle. recommends i
steam or so-called waterless cook- ,
ing for most frozen vegetables. As j
short a cooking time as possible is
best to conserve food values and
flavor, although, where it is im-;
portant to retain exceptionally good I
green color, short boiling may be I
used though at the sacrifice of
some flavor. t
Frozen vegetables, with the ex- i
cepiion of corn on the cob and i
spinach which freezes into hard I
blocks, retain more nutritive quaJi-'
ties if cooked immediately and al-
lowed to thaw on the stove. It Is J
particularly important to steam ,

CATERPILLAR' TRACK-TYPE
TRACTORS"
Farm tractors are mighty important to the prosperity of
our community and we look upon our job of selling
them as a public responsibility.
So, before we decided to sell "Caterpillar" track-type
Tractors, we did some investigating. What we found
then, and our experience since, have convinced us that
"Caterpillar" builds the BEST machine we can sell.
We can show you by a demonstration what we mean by
BEST.
