Lumber is lower now than it will be for several years, and is al-
ready NOW advancing. Secretary of the Navy says—“The man who
says lie will build a house as soon as wages goes down, is inviting
panic, disaster and calamity. For I tell you and it is the truest thing I
could st y that wages in the United States are never going back to the
old level."

age. J. H. Young, Agent.
According to E. P. Dodd, who has
been chosen as a member for this
county of the state-wide reclama­
tion committee. Oregon -has a great
opportunity in the election June 3
to keep in the first rank of forward
moving states, The reconstruction
measures on the ballot are worthy of
support. They mean safeguarding
the future and providing for the
steady employment of labor. They
mean the creation of new taxable
wealth and not the raising of taxa-
tion.
The reconstruction measures were
placed on the ballot at the request
of the statesmen of the nation and
after careful consideration by the
legislature.
The
$5,000,000 reconstruction
bonding bill provides $2,000,000 for
reclamation of arid, swamp and log-
ged-off lands, provided the Federal
Government allots Oregon an equal
amount
The $647,500 for the land Settle­
ment Commission will he spent In de-
veloping new farm homes in all
parts of the state which will be sold
to settlers.
Anent the $2.352,000 for much
needed public buildings throughout
the state, the Governor and State
Board of Control have promised that
these buildings will not be erected
when a labor shortage exists, and
that the money will be expended only
when conditions as to unemployment
exists.
The six per cent indebtedness for
rermanent ronds amendment will
rermit Oregon counties to go ahead
Hh their road building programs.
Tt is a local option measure.
The state bond payment of irriga­
tion and drainage interest for the
period of five years is designed to
make irrigation and drainage dis­
trict bonds sa'eable at par instead of
at ruinous discounts. The state will
he protected with liens on the land
benefited. This measure will mean
the investment of over $20,000.000
n Oregon within the next five years.
The market road tax bill provides
a 1 mill tax to raise approximately
$1,000,000 annually for market
roads. Multnomah County will pay
$365,000 of this fund and will re­
ceive only $100,000.
The passage of the reconstruction
bills means a greater and more pros­
perous Oregon.

Poison the Jack Rabbit
L. A. Hunt. County agent of Mor­
row County, while here the other day
on business, said he had received a
good many queries from farmers in
northwestern Umatilla and northern
Morrow counties about the jack rab­
bit pest, and that a word upon his
experimentation may not be out of
place in these columns.
The following mixture has given
excellent results throughout central
Oregon, and is now getting excellent
kills throughout Morrow county: 1
part Strychnine—alkaloid, 1 part
sacharine or brown sugar, 10 parts
common table salt. Mix dry. being
careful to avoid any dust from the
mixture. Place bountiful baits in
the rabbit pens if they have been
constructed, or failing this and to
keep from stock, drive a 2x2 2in.
stake in the ground, top not over 4
inches high, and bore a 1 inch hole
1 inch deep in the stake, or cut
blocks of a 2x4x4 and bore a hole in
these, filling the holes with the mix­
ture. Either of these methods give
good protection to stock. Yet as an
added precaution notices should be
posted where poison is out.
Killing rabbits during the winter
is a good thing. But they are her
now. They eat now. They must be
killed now.

Locust Tree Pest
R w. Allen, of the U. S. Depart-
nient of Agriculture, says that the
scale insects that made its appear-
ance on locust trees east of town
this spring doubtless have been there
In lesser numbers some time. This
scale is of the species Lecanium
pruinosum. It does not do a great
deal of damage as a rule. By anoth­
er year the number might be great­
ly reduced by ravages of natural
enemies. Many empty scales found
at the present time indicates that
something is preying upon them.
As yet there is no reason for
alarm. An application of miscible
oil in the spring before the buds of
the trees open Is quite effective in
controling this pest. Oil No. 8-100
Is recommended for this purpose.
