FARM REMINDERS Before the teason closes, it is esti mate! that more than 90,000 pounds squirrel poison will have been mixed by county agents and distri buted at cost to farmers of Oregon. Permitting the weeds or cover crops to grow one week to long in the nonirrigated orchard or berry patch in the spring is more wasteful of moisture and fertility than ne glecting cultivation several weeks after mid-summer, says the Oregon Experiment station. It is best to plow or disk as soon as the soil is dry enought to work satisfactory. With less than 100 cattle still to be tested, Hood River county will soon be the first county In the United States to make a 100 per cent test of its cattle for infectious abortion. The average commercial poultry flock suffers a loss of from 10 to 15 per cent during the first laying year from various troubles that are accepted as customary. vTben making sugar syrup from eituci brown of white sugar, the ad dition of four tablespoons of corn svrup t0 a pint of sugar syrup will often prevent its turning to sugar. three grades of 90 or above and with no grade below 85 for each of the ux conseceutive six weeks per iods will receive honor pins at the end of the school term. Those who had one gTade fall below 85 have been given a chance to make up that grade. Anyone who is not on the list, and believes that he can make up the differences, should consult Mr. DeVoe.
