Kill the Squirrels.
It ia estimated that the Rroaod
squirrel causes losses of upwards
of $10,000,000 each year iu the
western states, and Oregon has its
fall share. Now is the time to pnt
oat poison to get best regal ts. A
penney's worth of poison now may
eave dollars later on.' The cheap
est and most effective formula re
commended by the Biological Sur
vey, is the following:
Ktarch-strvchnine formula for
coating grain
Barley, clean drain, free from other
seeds 20 quarts
Strychnia sulphate (ground or
nowdered) 1 ounce
Jl
Saccharine 1 teaspoonful
Gloss starch (ordinary laundry
starch) teacupfu
Water pints
Dissolve the starch in a' little
cold water and add 1 pints of boil
ing water, making a rather thick
solution. While hot, stir in the
strychnine and mix until free from
lumne: then add the saccharine
and beat thoroughly. Now pour
the poisened starch over the ban
ley and stir rapidly until the pois
on is evenly distributed; then allow
the erain to dry. When . dry it
will keep indefinitely without
terioration.
Oats may be used instead of bar
ley.
I had promised this receipt to
several and take this couree to
give it to all.

Morrow once, Morrow always.
We are enjoying, greatly, the
articles of Rev. E. PvWarren and
see no reason why this should not
extend farther. We would like to
hear from W O Minor on some of
the best kinds of seventy grasses
that he has grown, from Harry
Cummings about potato cultuie for
we all know that be is king of po
tato growers, from O E Jones and
other successful dry. land wheat
growers. We consider these men
a success and their methods inore
valuable than the high salaried ex
pert who is all theory and not
much practice.

President (iooding ot the INationa
Wool Growers Association has employ
ed V O Johnson, one of the leading attor
neys or Idaho, to present the case of the
Western sheepmen to the Interstate
Commerce Commission pleading for
reduction of the freight rates on wool
from all Western, Northwestern and
Southwestern points. Mr. Johnson has
gone to Washington to appear before
the Commission, and an early hearing
is anticipated. President Gooding has
bad this matter up with the Commission
ever since the Portland Meeting and
while in Washington recently called on
Commissioner Lane and was assured ot
an early hearing.
Tbe rates on wool shipments from
Western points to Boston, Philadelphia,
orNew York City, are considered con
flscatory by the sheepmen. The aver
age car of wool pays from $500 to $700
freight. Wool is looked upon by the
railroads as an extremely desii able class
of freight, is not injured by wrecks, ns
not injured by delav in shipment, ana is

Indications are that this will be
a banner year for all kinds of agri-
cultural enterprises in Oregon. f A
larger acreage was sown to wheat,
vetch and other fall crops and a
favorable winter has accomplished
the rest. Dr. James Witbycombe,
director of the O. A. C. experiment
station, says of the outlook:
"Prospects at present are above
normal for almost every crop.
Agriculture throughout the state is
in a very satisfactory condition.
More requests are coming into the
station for institutes than we can
possibly comply with, because of
the lack of funds to keep men in
that field; and tbe farmers seem to
be waking up to the fact that there
is an information bureau kept ex
pressly for them at the state agri
culture college by the department
of agriculture. For instance, we
orejusi dow receiying a larger a
mount of communication relative
to tt raising of alfalfa in western
Oregon than we have ever received
on that subject befora Farmers
are waking up to the fact that it is
a good crop. It is to be regretted
that the appropriation of ten thous
and dollars asked for by the station
did not become a reality, for it
would have greatly increased the"
efficiency of the service to the far
mer." Gazette Times
