"Farmers' "Daylight Saving"
Headers of the daily papers have
been entertained and enhgnted from
many angles in regard to the "Day
light Saving" problem. Here is the
opinion of a successful Beaverton
farmer: ' "It doesn't make much dif
ference how it is settled, I work
from daylight until dark every day"
-and "J. D." would add: "that he
do his chores with lantern .light"
et the point? , ,
Shall We Celebrate?
Some of the prominent citizens of
Beaverton are in favor of holding a
big celebration in Beaverton this fall
to commemorate the opening of the
Highway. -
What do the business men think of
the proposition ?

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.

At a business meeting of the Fourth
Quarterly conference, of the Metho

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

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.
