Time and experience have fully
demonstrated the futility of a virus
as rodent eXterminator, particu-
iary, squirrels, gophers and mice
pests. Nearly all forms of poison
have given away to strychnine coated
wheat. The cupidity of manufactur-
ers has in many cases, led them to
diminish the amount of poison below
the safety point, with the result that
it has proven worthless in use. Dis
appointment has also arisen thru i'm
proper coating Farmers today are
depending more and more on the
well-tried, tested brands of coated
wheat for the destruction of squirrels
and gophers. No stock, fruit, grain
or alfalfa grower should jeopardise
his crop by failure to act promptly
this season.
These rodents are now awakening :,
soon, with the warm suns rays, their
whistle will be heard, and this is the
psychological moment to sprinkle the
poisoned wheat A few grains in the
early morning, dropped down each
burrow, will turn the trick. The
long fast makes the creatures raven
ous and the poison is Immediately
effective. Fields have been sown
where thousands Of these rodents
have been destroyed in twenty-foul
hours, by this method.

PORTLAND NEWS LETTER

Portland. March 23.-Unless there
is Encouragement of present plans,
the Cello canal will be opened for
the passage of boats for five days in
April. probably between the 10th and
18th. and it is expected that num-
her of steamers now on the upper
river will be brought to Portland for
overhauling and two or more boats
will carry freight from Portland to
Pasco, Kennewick and other points.
Construction work on the canal is
practically finished. but little remain
Ing to be done except to clean out an
accumulation OF refuse and to build
few bridges for the passage of
teams. The canal is being finished
several weeks earlier than was ex-
pected, and it will probably be open
ed permanently for navigation on
May 1st.
