THE EAGLE, VERNONIA, ORE.
Several Poisons
Rout House flats
No longer is it necessary for
homemakers to suffer from in
vasions of house ants, says Dr.
Don C. Mote, O.S.C. entomologist,
in a brief mimeographed circular
of information giving directions
for control of these pests.
The best material to use de
pends on the circumstances and
upon the kinds of ants doing the
damage, says Dr. Mote. If the
colony headquarters can be lo
cated, carbon bisulphide is recom
mended. The best all-round poi
son yet found is tartar emetic
combined either with cheap syrup
or sometimes with bacon rind or
grease.
Sodium fluoride and Ruis
green are other poisons that are
used effectively at times, while
5 percent DDT tin kerosene or 10
per cent powder wfill control cer
tain species effectively.
Direc
tions for using these are given
in the station circular of informa
tion No. 388 free at any exten
sion office.

Marriage Solemnized
Sunday, August 18
The Forest Grove
NATIONAL
BANK
Miss Nona L. Shafer and John
B. Lankston were united in mar
riage SSunday, August 18, at the
bride’s home with Rev. Ernest
Baker, Christian church minister,
officiating.
»
About 10 relatives of the couple
were present for the ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Yankston plan to
make their home here.
But the direct money loss isn't the greatest dan
ger. Worse is the fact that lands frequently burned
over lose their capacity for reproduction. America
needs productive forest lands, not fire-blackened
wastes, for America needs the things forests pro
duce.
