The late Col. l.. l.. Hawkins was
fond of telling mosquito story Of his

their evening campfire, had to fight off
the singing pest at the foot of snow
mountains, where the hot footed
birds" are often troublesome. you
can talk about your big mosquitoes"
said he, after the tale telling drifted
into fairy topics, but we (meaning
Rodney Gilsan and himself) can tell
something about mosquitoes ourselves.
We climbed Sk,nner's Butte, at Eu-
gene, tC see the sunset. After We had
watched the sun awhile it was OBJ
scured by dense cloud OF tremendous
mosquitoes. They were the hugeSt |

asked: How big were they, coloncl?"
They were so big" was the response,
that many Of them weighed q

Mr.. Evans advises farmers living
on Kansas river bottoms, under the
present circumstances, to plant by all
means some early variety Of corn, any
time previous to July l. Millet and
sorghum may be planted later.
Early varieties Of corn were named
Golden Eagle" very small cob,

were possible to get real sO-day corn
