The second will be at 1:30 p.m. at the L L Cody farm about 1*2 miles south of Deer Island When properly set, a scissor- jaw type trap is one of the most effective for catching the western mole. This trap takes the animal without damaging its pelt, and the set trap is safe from children and livestock. Directions for use of the scis sor-jaw trap are given in Exter.- sien Bulletin No. 629, titled ‘Con trolling Rodents and Other Small Animal Pests in Oregon.” Copies are available at county extension offices, says Walrod. A mound of soil emerging from a lawn, garden, or pasture is s sign that a mole is searching for food. The mole's main diet is worms and insects, His normal home paths are in holes 8 to 10 inches underground. However, moles forage for their food in looser soil, especially in flower beds, gardens, or well-managed pastures. The young are usually born in April and May, and this is the time when most damage from moles appears. It’s also the tin- when a mole trap can be mos effective in preventing mole dam- age.

ES, the Yankee horse-traders did know values, so much so. in fact, that they have become symbolic of shrewdness and judgment. Well, those days are pretty much gone now. but the farmer of today knows a real value just as well as his horse- trading forefathers. | Take a look at the modern farm and you’ll see what I mean. Everywhere, electricity, the greatest value of all time, has replaced dozens of time-consuming, back-breaking chores and daily jobs. Farmers, recognizing this value, have let elec trical equipment and appliances save lime, labor and money in the house, in the barn, in the yard. i I ! | j I ! . From milking machines to refrigerators, from chick brooders to deep-freezer*, from electric lights to waffle irons, farmers today have gone electric. And whv shouldn’t they? With electricity, farmers can get the equivalent of a full time hired Land for just a few cents a day. That’s value - and they know it! WEST OREGON ELECTRIC CO-OP * Vernonia.
