They called my attention to the building up of Washington ."round squirrels throughout the county. This squirrel is the small one that is stripped over 1J e back and light colored under neath. Mr. Dobbyris recalled many years ago when a program was put on to erradicate this Washington ground squirrel, it became so troubli-.yjrne. The pop ulation of this ground squirrel seems to be built up an it is (lesiiab)e that if farmers have noted many of them that some cotrol work be done. .Now it is available at cost at the county agent's office.

I'eridleton, Oregon I'hone 3-1 With harvest iust around the i (corner and one that appears to be j larger than commercial storage can handle, ranchers should be giving some thought to readying their farm storage facilities, One of the big problems confronting ranchers with farm storage is makirii their bins rodent and bird proof, as well as providing storage that is safe from insect damage. A new Pacific North west publication, Controlling Ro dents and Birds in Stored Grain, has been issued. It is excellent in giving details on rat proofing and control methods. A supply of the bulletin is available at this office. In insect control, one of the first prerequisites is a clean bin. The bin or bins should be kwept out, making sure that all! corners and walls are swept clean, j If you have had any trouble wiih insects the past year, it would be' well to spiay the interior of the bins to kill any insects that might be living in the cracks or crevices. These can be controlled by spray ing with one of the several insec ticides. DDT is as good as can be used. A regular Wt. wettable mixed at Hie rate of C pounds to the iw gallons 01 water, appneu with about 400 pounds pressure to drive it into these cracks has proven a good control. O. W. C'utsforth, U'Xington farmer, re ports a new way to control spar rows if they are a problem in your stored grain. Mr. C'utsforth stumbled on to this method acci dently. He uses Warforin in corn meal that many of our ranchers are using as rat bait. A box of ttiis poison was put out where sparrows could reach and soon dead sparrows were found THE ICNE LIVESTOCK CLUB The June meeting of the lone Livestock club was held at Ken neth Smouse's home the 14th at 2. 30 p. m.
