STUPID GOPHER is
SERIOUS CROP PEST
Animals Multiply Fast in Alfalfa
FieIdS-May Be Poisoned or
Caught in Traps.

The pocket gopher does more injury
to crops than any other mammal. Ex-
terminate it by using poisoned pOta-
toes or apples or by trapping, advises
DIR. Lee r. Dice, instructor in zoology
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
alfalfa fields furnish almost ideal
conditions for the development and
multiplication of gophers as their bur-
rows are not broken up by plowing
and the root system provides an abun-
dance of food" said Doctor Dice.
"Gophers are stupid animals and will
blunder into almost any trap that is
properly set, and they can be poisoned
easily at little cost and labor.
"The natural food of gophers con-
sists of roots and seeds and succulent
vegetation drawn down from the sur
face. Hence a substitute of poisoned
potato, sweet potato or apple can be
used effectively. A few grains Of
strychnine inserted by means of the
tip of a penknife into such food placed
in the burrows will serve the purpose
A sharp stick can be used to open the
tunnel. The agricultural college sup
plies at cost a prepared poison for
gopher determination"
Trapping is effective, steel traps
set in tunnels being recommended.
The light should be excluded by a
board, which will also serve to keep
the opening free from dirt. If this is
not done the gopher will come with
load of dirt to fill up the hole. Other
traps are on the market.
Besides destroying the root systems
the gopher covers much vegetation
with mounds of soil. This often hinders
harvesting as well as covers the grain

WASHINGTON cow FEED TEST
Increased Milk Flow Secured by Feed
ing Beet Pulp Moistened With
Five Parts Water.

In an experiment at the Washington
station, cows fed beet pulp, moistened
with five parts by weight of water,
consumed the feed with considerable
relish and rapidly increased in milk
yield during a two-week period. AL
though it was difficult to accustom the
cows to eating the feed at first, later
they would eat from six to eight
pounds more of the soaked pulp than
they would of corn silage. The gem
eral condition of the cows fed the beet
pulp was comparable with that of
those fed corn silage, and there was
no appreciable difference in their
weights. Since their feeding value is
about the same, it appears that the ex-
tended use of beet pulp as a substi-
tute for silage depends largely on the
relative cost of producing and preserv-
Ing and the cost Of dried beet pulp.

well looked after If he is so unfor-
tunate as to have no close relatives
he will be kept in touch with neigh

An organization for that purpose has
just been started by Mrs. Charles l.

Martin of the Kansas national guard.
1t is known as THE Military Sister
hood of Kansas" Branches will be
established in all towns and plans per-
fected for carrying out the objects of
the association.
1T is imperative in addition to re-
lief and personal service that every
thing be done to keep the men in
military service up to the high stan
dard, of efficiency which Kansas
troops now hold" said Mrs Martin.
ITO do this the cooperation of the
home must be secured and American
standards of living must prevail. 1t,
is further vital that if men enter the
service of the state md nation in any
considerable number, their places
must be taken in industries by women,
and that every step be taken to rs

who enter industry for the first time.

USE PUREBRED SIRE

Whether Good or Bad He Is Half

CBy S. T. SIMPSON,

The unprecedented demand for

animals eligible to registry, which are

prove poor breeders. The present high

price. In this way only can the pres
ent high standard be maintained and
the scrub purebred finally eliminated.
The use of the registered scrub can
but discourage the cause of purebred
sires and better live stock. The
breeder who markets such individuals
will ultimately suffer the criticism of
those who know good live stock, and
finally be Disseminated against in buy

scrub purebred can breed nothing but
inferior individuals so long as he per-

The purebred sire is the best
means of live stock improvement.
Whether good or bad he Is half the
herd and sometimes more. For this
reason the selection of the sire de-
mands equally as much attention as
the entire group of females, and 1t is
far more important to have a good

(By c. P. HARTLEY, in Charge of Corn
Investigations, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
1t sometimes becomes necessary to
do heavy work, such as hauling water
to put out fire, but what's tfO use of
hauling water from the cornfelds to
the feed lot and hauling it back again
to the fields in the shape Of uneaten
cornstalksP Very tall-growing corn
when sappy and immature is almost
all water, and so is wet cornstalk
manure.
1t used to be that many growers
prlded themselves on the great height
Of their cornstalks. The more sue
cessful farmers, however, have ceased
to haul water from the cornfields to
the feed lot in the form of coarse
stalks which remain uneaten and haul
1t back to the fields in the shape of
wet cornstalk manure. They do not
grow such tall stalks and often profit
ably allow animals to gather the grain,
leaving the stalks in the fields to en-
rich the soil.
A few years ago sllage was thought
to have a fixed food value. One can
not take out of the silO any more food
value than is put in. Hauling and
slloing large sappy stalks is heavy
work and not as profitable as putting
a good, almost mature corn crop into
the silO. A somewhat larger and later
maturing variety of corn that will thor
oughly mature for grain can be used in
the Northern states for ensilage. Even
silage corn should be planted early
and given sufficient time to make its
best growth and reach the stage of
maturity at which huszs turn brown
and the ears become glazed.

WORK TO ERADICATE WEEDS
Plants Are Traitors to Nation in Time
of War-keep CuItivators and
Harrows Busy.

Weeds are traitors to the nation in
time of war. They consume soil mois-
ture that should be saved for the food
crops and they choke back such crops,
causing enormous annual losses.
Growers of corn and potatoes can
prevent much of this waste by proper
cultivation, setting the shovels of the
cultivators to throw in little ridges
over the rows. Then the fields may
be narrowed crosswise frequently.
This will stir the soil over the plants
and kill any weeds that may have
started. Narrowing can be continued
until corn or potatoes are several
inches high.

I In helping each other shred their crops
the neighbor's tall-growing corn was
shredded first The stalks were bulky
and high loads were hauled from the
fields to the shredder. When begin
ming the shredding Of the competitors
corn, which that year produced over
100 bushels of dry shelled corn per
acre, the neighbor put on the accus-
toned high load, and his team could
not pull it out Of the field. He got
down off the load to make an examina-
6on, thinking the rack must be press
ing against the wheels. The compei-
tor told him he would have to take
off q part of the load, to which he re-
piled that he did not have on big
load and was accustomed to hauling
larger loads. After being convinced
that it was the weight of the load that
stalled his team, they removed a pOr-
tion and hauled the balance to the
shredder, from which they obtained 40
bushels of corn, or almost a ton and
half Of ears. "a
What variety Of corn should you
plant? Since there are thousands Of
so-called varieties, it is not possible to
designate by name the variety you
should plant. Furthermore, with corn
there is very little in name. Two
lots of seed of the Leaning variety
sometimes differ from each other more
than two varieties differ from each
other. An accurate test of two differ
ent lots of the Boone County White
variety resulted in one lot producing
19 bushels more per acre than the
other lot. Quality is what counts and
the varietal name does not designate
quality. Plant variety that has made
good in your neighborhoOd. Plant
seed which was grown in your part
of the state and was properly field Sc
lected and properly cared for during
