PREVENTIVES GIVE
MANY FRUIT TREES

(By c. c. VINCENT, Idaho Experimental
Station.)
The damage caused by rabbits each
year during the past few years has be.
come more and more pronounced. In
most of our highly developed fruit sec
tions the growers have found that It is
4 very easy matter to prevent rabbits
from injuring the trees. In most all
cases the damage is due to neglect
rather than a lack OF efficient remedy.
A number OF preventives that have
been tried out by practical growers
and experiment stations are given be.
low:
Poisoned bait has been used very
effectively in many sections by placing
It where the rabbits can get 1t. A for.
mula consisting of one part strychnine,
1ne-third part borax, one part white
5irup. ten parts water, recommended
by the Ohio experiment station, has
given good satisfaction. This mixture
Is applied to the tender twigs which
are distributed around the base of the
tree.
Tree protectors are also used by
many growers. Strips of wire window
screening 18 to "a inches long and
8 to II inches wide are used frequent
ly. These strips are wrapped around
the base of the tree in the form of
tubes with the lower end pressed into
the ground.
A woven wire fence is desirable
where the planting is large enough to
justify the expense. Wooden veneer
strips, having about the same dimen-
sions as the wiring screening, have
also been recommended.
Washes of various kinds are also
used quite extensively by our growers
Heavy rains, however, wash them of
occasionally, which makes it necessary
TO repeat the application. A taint of
any kind on the trunk of the tree will
keep the rabbits from inIuring 1t. Hog
intestines, cheap meat products, etc.
rubbed on the trees, will give good re
suits. The lime-sulphur wash recon
mended by the United States depart
ment of agriculture has given consid
cradle satisfaction. The wash consists
of; Unslaked lime, 20 pounds; flowers
OF sulphur, 10 pounds; water, so gal
Ions. The lime, sulphur and one-third
of the water are boiled together for
one hour and then the rest OF the water
added. BY adding salt the wash will
stick better.

SOURNESS, HEARTBURN,
GAS OR INDIGESTION
The Moment "Pape's Diapepsin'

Do some foods you eat hit back

into stubborn Jumps and cause a sick,
sour. gassy stomach? Now, Mr.. or

Diapepsin digests everything, leaving
nothing to sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick,
so certainly effective. No difference
how badly your stomach is disorder
ed you will get happy relief in five
minutes, but what pleases you most
is that it strengthens and regulates
your stomach, so you can eat your
fayorite foods without fear,
Most remedies give you relief
sometimes-they are slow. but not
sure. "Pape's Diapepsin" is quick,
positive, and puts your stomach in a
healthy condition so the misery won't
come back
You feel different as soon as
"Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact
with the stomach-distres just van
ishes-your stomach gets sweet, no
gases, no belching, no eructations of
undigested food, your head clears
and you feel fine.
Go now, and make the best invest
ment you ever made. by getting a
large fifty-cent case of Pape's Dla-
pepsin from any drug store. You
realize in five minutes how needless
it is to suffer from indigestion, dys-
pepsia or any stomach disorder.

LABOR COMMISSIONER
ENDORSES LOAN SHARK

In an argument in the Senate at
Oklahoma City the other day SEN
ator quoted w. G.. Ashton, State
Commissioner of Labor, as having
declared in favor licensing the loan
shark. Mr.. Ashton explained this
by asserting that the loan shark is
necessary and he cannot make a liv-
ing loaning money as he does at 10
per cent a year. Mr.. Ashton would
give the petit loan man a right to
charge a rate of interest that would
make his business profitable, and let
it go at that.
"The fact that there are so many
of them makes me believe that there
must be a reason for it," Ashton
said in explaining his position. "I
know positively that IL the loan
shark is legislated out, the "Shy-
lock" will take his place. I've seen
it,"
"I'd say call the loan men in, ask
them what they want, and II they
say g. 4. or 8 per cent a month, let
them have it. It's impossible to give
any of these rates under the Con-
stitution, but the interest rate could
be fixed at 10 per cent year, and
fees could be fixed to cover the rest.
"You'd be surprised to see the
class that patronize the loan shark
for loans on salaries. They need the
'''"nov and thew get it at the loan
sharks place without a whimper.
TITS wrong to think a man can
borrow money among his friends.
You know it. There are few men to
whom I would loan fifteen dollars
right now, and fewer for whom
would endorse a note"
