County Agent Places
Squirrel Poison For
Farmers To Put Out
. v
"Young squirrels -will be out the
first part of May," says the biological
survey of the U.- S. department oi
agriculture. Now is the time to
spread poison bait to prevent the five
or ten-fold multiplication of this pest.
Complete experimental evidence is to
the effect that a squirrel in Umatil
la county will dstroy crops to the
value of $1.00 for each squirrel dur
ing one season. There are hundreds
of squirrels on some Umatilla county
farms and thousands are engaging in
depredations on ranges, , ,V
This loss can be stopped. For Uma
tilla county farmers 'squirrel . poison
is provided at cost by a cooperative
arrangement between the ' county
agent's office and the biological sur
vey. ' To expedite distribution of the
poison and to bring about as nearly
complete destruction of squirrels and
mice as possible, the county agent
has placed supplies of this poison at
the following places in this section
of the county:
f Umapine Grocery, Umapine.;
City Drug Store, Weston.
Milton Drug company, Milton.
J. S. Norvell & Company, Helix.
Larabee's Store, Adams. .--,
Rogers & Goodman, Athena. .
Also at County Agent's office, Pen
dleton. ' .
As a word of caution the coun
ty agent advises users of the poison
ed oats to adopt the practice of broad
casting the bait rather than placing
it down burrows or in piles about the
den opening.. If this method of scat
tering the grain is used it may be
safely employed in pastures where
stock are grazing. In all the years
during which this poison has been
used in Oregon the destruction of
birds has been almost entirely negligi
ble. While ' this bait is harmless to
chickens and other fowls having
crops, it' should be kept away from
ducks, geese, etc, ;
As one form of farm relief it s
suggested that this cheap poison be
employed to prevent the Joss of many
thousands of dollars worth of crops
brought apout py squirrel and mouse
activities.
Air Mail Will Start
Spokane to Portland
The postoffice department has com
pleted plans for a new airmail route
from Spokane, Wash., to - Portland,
Or., with a leg extending from Pasco
Wash., to Seattle.
The new route will connect with
the Salt Lake City route at Pasco. It
also will connect with the Pacific
coast route which runs Los Angeles
to Seattle at both Seattle and Port
land. It also is planned to make con
nections with the Seattle-Vancouver
route at Seattle.
It is said that bids would be asked
on the route in the near future, Oper
ation will begin as soon after that
time as possible,
They Know Creosote -They
do say that "the burned child
dreads the fire," and by the same
token Marvin Adkins and Lon Liles
will hereafter have a wholesome sus
picion of creosote, says the Leader.
They have been helping with electric
light poles on the new Preston-Shaffer
Milling company construction, and
the butts of the poles are treated with
creosote. The result was that Mar
vin and Lou went about for several
days with red and swollen faces, their
gloved hands having come in contact
with their cheeks. .

OWYHEE PROJECT
Potato Bags
Donald McFadden, living in the
south part of town, recently planted
a plot of ground to potatoes. Since
planting, he has discovered the soil to
be infested with potato bugs. Last
season the insects gave him consider
able trouble he says, and he con
siders his prospects for a crop this
year to be not very bright.
Giving Dances
Tex Gholson, who now has charge
of Spencer Hall in Athena, was in
town from Walla Walla Sunday, pre
paring to give dances regularly at
the hall, which for several years was
under lease to Athena-Weston Ameri
can Legion Post.
ONE BRIGHT SPOT
From the Washington bureau of the
Portland Journal It Js learned that
Owyhee is the one bright star in the
Oregon reclamation program, taking
a look forward to the next turn of
the reclamation wheel, which will
deal out funds for construction In
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1930.
In the fiscal year Just ahead Owy
hee has $2,000,000, Vale gets enough
to clear the purchase of Warm
Springs storage and for moderate
construction, and Baker has the usual
reappropriatlon of funds first made
available many years ago.
An interview with Dr. Mead, com
missioner of reclamation, has reveal
ed to Senator Steiwer and Represent
ative Butler the concern of Dr. Mead
over reduced receipts of the reclama
tion fund, which makes for a close
cut policy and restriction of develop
ment to projects already under full
steam. ,f
Owyhee is In that favored class,
with fair chance that the next appro
priation will go upward toward the
$3,000,000 mark, which originally was
planned as an annual sum for its
construction.
Vale hit some hard snags this year.
It was saved from suspension, but is
threatened with new peril and the
outlook of closing down next year.
As to Baker, Representative Butler
was advised negotiations were pro
ceeding on the reservoir site on the
basis of a reduced acreage project,
but without definite conclusiion.
Dr. Mead has promised considera
tion of release of excess water during
the irrigation season from the McKay
dam. This, if effected, will be of sub
stantial . benefit to settlers of Stan
field and Westland. But the reclam
ation bureau is firm in resolving to
do nothing at this time toward taking
over the Stanfield unit. '

Senate Leaders Are
In a Farm Debate

of a spirited debate between the floor
leaders of the two major political
parties as Senator Watson, the In

ed their past end present attitudes
toward the equalization fee in farm
relief legislation.',
Recent verbal exchanges on the
latest vehicle for dispute over agri
cultural relief the Export Deben
ture Plan rwere overshadowed by the
pungent but good-humored colloquy.
On thpir feet for nearly two hours,
the two leaders hurled questions and
charges back and forth while! the gal
lery throngs leaned forward to listen
and occasionally laughed at some
pointed remark.
After the debate had subsided some
what, Robinson looked toward his op
ponent and asserted with a smile that
he hoped "my distinguished friend
will soon terminate his tirade and
come to luncheon with me."

Umatilla County Wheat
Raisers Go On Record
Against the Examiners
"If the ears of Examiners Mackley
and Hall of the interstate commerce
commission did not burn Saturday,"
says the East Oregonian, "it' was not
because their attitude, as expressed
in their recent report, was not be
ing freely discussed at a meeting of
grain growers that packed the rooms
of the Commercial association. The
sentiment of the meeting was to con
tinue the fight for reduced freight
rates and action to this effect was
taken."
Most important among the steps
taken'' was the adoption of the fol
lowing resolution:
"Whereas on December 7, 1928 the
interstate commerce commission pre
sented a report to the senate relating
to grain freight rates in Canada in
response to senate resolution 250 and
"Whereas that report is believed to
be incomplete and as a result mislead
ing in various Important respects and
"Whereas the proposed report is
sued Apr:! 20, 1929 by two examiners
of the interstate commerce commis
sion in connection with the commis
sion's general investigation of grain
rates under mandate of the Hoch
Smith resolution fails to give ade
quate consideration to the significant
facts to be derived from comparisons
of rat?. transportation and traffic
conditions on the Canadian Pacific
Railway and railroads serving the
northwest, (including 1 Washington,
Oregon and Idaho) and
"Whereas the competition of the
Canadian wheat growers" is being felt
under present conditions to be a men
ace of alarming proportions to the
wheat growing business of Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho, and
"Whereas it appears important that
both the United States senate and
the commission should have pointed
out for their benefit the respects in
which the commission's report of
December 8, 1928, to the senate is
believed to be- lacking in essential in
formation and accordingly mislead
ing. "Therefore, be it resolved that we
a mass meeting of the growers of
Washington, Oregon and- Idaho as
sembled at Pendleton. Oregen, this
27th day of April 1929, instruct our
attorney, Arthur M. Geary, to pre
pare an answer, to the interstate com
merce commission's report to the

irresponsibility has ceased to exist.
