EVERGREEN TREES IN FAVOR
Useful, Both for Shelter Purposes and
Landscape Effect-Spruees Best
for Farmstead.

(By LIE ROY CADY, Horticulturist, Uni.
yersity Farm, st. Paul, MIMI
The average farmstead can we'll at.
ford a good planting of evergreen
trees, both for shelter purposes and for
landscape effect. Large or small trees
may be planted and if properly cult
waited and cared for soon make good
shelter. The spruces are perhaps best
for general planting. BY using several
kinds variety of color may be had, al
though often the best effect is secured
by solid planting. If these are SET
rather thick when small they may be
thinned for planting in other places OF
for Christmas trees. to advantage.

POISON GOPHERS AND MOLES
Best Time for Work Is in Spring and
Early Summer-Use Strychnlne
With Utmost Care.

Spring and early summer is the best
time to get rid of gophers and moles.
For early spring poisoned corn is good
bait. Place some Of it out early in
April, some more about May and a
third lot little later. Poisoned corn
may be prepared by soaking for Il
hours in a solution made by dissolving
strychnine in water at the rate OF
about one-tenth ounce to the quart.
Where the pests are unusually bad
at planting time, seed corn can be
treated in this way without injuring
its terminating qualities. OF course
the planter will have to be regulated
to drop this soaked corn.
Strychnine is deadly poison. IL
should be handled with extreme care
and both the solution and the soaked
corn kept out of the way OF children
and animals.

LIBERTY LOAN DAY

By special proclamation of Cover
nor Capper the afternoon of October
gath is made a special holiday for the
purpose of boosting the liberty loan.
Il Il is the intention of the proclamation
that special boosting programs or
demonstrations shall be held in every
community and in the schools of the
country. The afternoon of that day
will be practically holiday and it is
the hope of the Governor that Kansas
people will work unitedly together and
boost the Liberty Loan fund far in
excess of the amount allotted to this
state. The idea of the big boost is to
show that the people of Kansas are
willing to back up the government
and see that it has all the money it
needs with which to carry on the war.

DICTAGRAMS

Among the soldier boys who were
sent down to Camp Funston last week
was young man who has lived all his
life within reach of good schools and
yet he is unable to read line or even
to write his own name. His parents
(of foreign birth)> >are equally Hitter
ate. If they hear from their son while
he is in the army, or if he hears from
home, the letters must be written and
read by friends of the family. AL
though the fault lies with the parents,
the situation is shameful and no credit
to America Perhaps the army "" will
give this young man an opportunity to
acquire the rudiments of a common
school education while in the service
of his country and let US hope that
he makes a good use of his spare
time.

younger children attended Is days
each, last year, and then only after
repeated notices from the truant offic-
er and a visit from the sheriff. This
year the family is living in another
district and again failed to send their
children to school although living
within reasonable distance of good
school and amply able to send them.
The family owns an Overland car and
