Prompt Service BEAVERTON - Oregon DESTROYING POCKET GOPHERS "We have been troubled a. great deal this year with pocket gophers, especially in our clover field," writes an Oregon correspondent. "Please tell me the best method to follow in destroying these gophers on a large scale?" To fight pocket gophers success' fully, we must understand that these rodents live almost entirely under ground. Ground squirrels, of which there are several kinds, are often called gophers. The latter are known by the mounds of dirt which they throw up in the field. Pocket go phers are quite easily killed with poisons. The United States depart ment of agriculture recommends the following formula for this purpose Dissolve one- ounce of strychnine sulphate in a pint of .boiling water; add a pint of thick sugar syrup. Scent this mixture by adding a few drops of oil of annis. Steep a half bushel of corn in hot water; allow it to soak overnight; drain and allow to soak for several hours in the poison syrup. As many mounds are commonly made' in a field by one gopher and are connected by one runway, the runways between the mounds are of ten filled, with loose dirt. Therefore, select a fresh mound and follow the soft earth back until the main run way is reached. Push the poisoned grain well back into the main runway and close the opening in such a way as to prevent dirt from clogging the runway. A good way to do this is by putting in a handful of grass and covering with earth. Traps proper ly set will prove practical where the area of destruction is sot too large, but where there are large areas in fected by' pocket gophers, our ad vice would be to resort to poisoning.

Finding Tracks' CJaeU Reed To determine the desSmotive effect of heavily loaded trucks on highways and streets, and te meet the demand for data on the design -of road sur faces and foundations to .withstand such heavy traffic, a series of exper iments is being conducted by the Bu reau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, at the Arlington Experimental Farm to de termine the impact of auto trucks on roads. ,':vi The most striking single develope ment in the highway field in 1918 was the tremendous increase m . motor truck traffic. Five years ago heavy motor trucks were few in number and limited practically entirely to the paved streets of larger cities. These vehicles now comprise probably 4 t$t 5 per cent of the grand total of all motor vehicles and are to be found whereveD traffic conditions permit profitable use. But ery few roads were designed to carry any large vol ume of this class of traffic. Conse quently, the cost of adequate main tenance was increased greatly during the year. In many places the damage due to the incessant pounding of these fast and heavy 'vehicles was so, great as to require complete reconstruction. .You Can Can Cora.

Adam Beil and son, Richard, ac companied by Ignats Hoos, of New xorK, and Ueorge Hoos, of Portland, who are brothers of Mrs. Beil, visited in Hillsboro. She had not seen the New York brother for thirty-one years. Richard Beil has just recently returned from the Atlantic coast, where he was "stationed near Wash ing ton, D. C. Miss Fern Hobbs, who was in France as a Red Cross nurse; arrived home last week, and was the guest of her parents, near Cornelius, over Sunday. She did a great deal of work for the Oregon boys, who were in France, and maintained an intel ligence bureau for the home folks while there.

At a business meeting of the Fourth Quarterly conference, of the Metho dist church, one evening last week, it was decided to build a new parson age on the garden tract of the parson age property and to repair the old building now occupied as a parsonage, and rent it. Some neded repair work will also be done on the church. Be cause the minister and his members have worked so faithfully and have been so congenial, the M. E. Confer ence has been asked to send Rev. To can corn boil the prepared ears from 3 to 5 minutes 10 for old corn and plunge into cold water to set the corn milk. Shave with sharp knife the kernels from the cobs, cut ting from tip toward base. Pack lightly in sterilized jars to one inch of top, and add one teaspoon salt to each quart same amount of sugar may be used." Cover corn with boil ing water in which ears were boiled, put on rubber and top not sealed tight and sterilize in water bath for two hours. Too long blanching or too old corn gives product dark color. Standing too long in cold water or in jars after water is added, or cooking over a slow fire, makes the product soggy. By following these directions and avoiding the mistakes you can -41 prepare a wholesome, tasty product, say the home economic specialists.
