The Animal Is Too Fragile to Snare In
Traps or Pitfalls.
Perhaps you have often wondered
about the scarcity Of giraffes in, pub
lie ZOOS. The reason that only very
few menageries can boast Of this ex-
hibit Is on account Of the difficulty in
capturing and transporting them.
The long legged and long necked ami
! NAL, keen of eye and nose and ear, can
see, smell and hear hunter miles
away. Hunters cannot employ traps
and pitfalls against him. His fragile
legs would be crushed in q trap, and
both his legs and neck would be bro
ken in pitfall.
There is only one way to capture a
giraffe alive. He must be surrounded
and chased until from sheer WEAKNESS
he staggers helpless into a bamboo in
closure.
Peril lies in shipping the giraffe for
his voyage on the sea. The CRATES
legs break very easily. II he slips the
fragile underpinnings double under
him and snap. In transferring the AMI
NAL from shore to ship his long, help

NO BARLEY APHIS
THIS YEAR. IT'S SAID

There will be no barley aphis in
Imperial valley to poster the ranch
els this year, according to f. w.
Waite, county horticultural commits
sioner, who declared this morning that
only a few of the pests are at pres
ent in evidence and that with the
coming of warm weather the remain
ing few would be completely obliter-
ated.
Mr.. Waite bases his prognosis on
the grounds that warm weather in
duces the propagation of warning in
sects against the aphis Cold wealth
CT, he declared, encouraged the in
crease of the aphis, but with the COM
ing Of summer insects which prey
on the pest are beginning to assert
themselves, with the result that the
ravages wrought by the aphis are be-
ing greatly reduced
Some weeks ago Mr.. Waite, accom-
panied by an entomologist from the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, who is specialist on cereal
aphis, made a tour of the valley, but
neither was able to detect the aphis
il large numbers.
Last year the damage done by the
aphis took place while the barley was
IN the head said Mr.. Waite this
morning. "The aphis confined their
attacks to the lower part of the
growth, with the result that the crop
produced was not of a hardy variety
and was reduced materially.
"The barley planted late in the sea-
son suffered more serious effects than
that which sprouted earlier, because
of the fact that aphis, preying on the
more mature growth, also attacked
that which was just appearing above
the surface of the earth. In many
cases the sprouts were completely de
stroyed in whole acreages."
Concerning the melon aphis, Mr..
Waite was unable to make any
prophecy, because the paucity or
abundance of the pests is contingent
largely upon climatic conditions.

Mr. Henry Misplon residing about
y miles west and south of town,
while meeting with fair success at
general farming has become an en-
thusiast over the possibilities of
raising red clover seed. Mr. Misplon
has so acres of land which is all un-
der cultivation with the exception of
10 acres which he will put under the
pillow this season. In 1913 he had 10
acres in red clover with the object of
raising seed from the same. He gath
cred a light cutting of hay from the
piece early in the summer, reserving
the second cutting for seed purposes.
At the time of threshing the seed the
machine showed a total of 81 BUSH
els from the 10 acres. During that
fall red clover seed was commanding
from - to IA cents per pound, so 1t
will be seen that the same proved a
very profitable crop to Mr.. Misplon
In fact. so we'll satisfied was he from
the returns that he put in % acres
additional in the spring of 1914.
from which he anticipates large re-
turns this year. We might add that
in addition to the returns from the
seed, Mr.. Misplon sold several loads
of the hay after being threshed, be-
sides feeding large quantity of il
to his stock. Mr.. Misplon is one of
our well satisfied farmers, and as
sures us that he has no desire to
make change.

fore vegetation had put the lid on
dust. That country now has some
wind, but very little dust. and the
same is fast becoming true of this
country as vegetation increases and
trees become more numerous. Ii is
an absolute fact that dust storms
are decreasing in frequency in this
locality as anyone can vouch who has
lived here five or six years. Last
year there was not more than two OF
three such storms. and in the serene

were quickly forgotten. The days OF

THE FOURTH or July

Although Sunday is Fourth OF Ju-
ly, and Monday ordinarily would be
celebrated. local dealers seem to have
made little or no preparation in the
way of fireworks. AS a matter of
fact. there are several very stringent
city ordinances prohibiting such
things. and the word has gone out
that there will be no selling or shoot
ing OF fireworks in the city of Du-
rant at all. Mayor Jim Yarbrough,
in commenting on the situation. said /:
"City ordinances cover every phase
OF the promiscuous handling of fire
works and explosives, and the police
department will be thoroughly ac-
quainted with each provision which
has been made for that day. Durant
has done pretty well in the past in
suppressing the misguided patriot
ism of its younger citizens. but there
are still too many accidents due to
the promiscuous handling of explo-
sives. If II is at all possible Durant
is going to celebrate the Fourth this
year without a single morning af-
ter" case of shattered fingers, ruined
eyes, or powder wounds"
