To Destroy Flies

To get rid of flies around stables,
barns and out-of- door places borax
is especially valuable. One pound
of borax to twelve bushels of man
ure will be found desirable as a
poison of flies without ihjuring its
manurial qualities ..or farm stock.
Scatter the borax over the manure
and sprinkle with water.
Lye, chloride of lime, or cop
peras (suphate of iron) dissolved
in water, crude carbo1ic acid, or
any kind of disinfectants may be
used in vaults. Kerosene on stag
nant water will keep down mos

The Secretary of Agricul-
ture says that while Germans
and Swiss produce more per
acre than American farmers,
the Americans produce four
and a half times as much per
man as the Europeans. Use
of more and better machinery
and more efficient methods of
handling and transporting are
doubtless large factors in the
American superiority per unit
of man power. Then a good
deal must depend upon the
spirit and the intent Of the
men doing the work. The
American can do his work
with the consciousness that
he is a man working for his
own advancement, and that
the road is open for him. On
the part of the German, he
knows he is but a cog in a

TEN which has the advance

Ready for Registration Day

Only two days remain before the
great day of the se1ectiye draft reg
istration June S, when every man
of certain age must bow to the will
OF the nation and put his name on
the rolls Of the government to be
placed in whatever service the gov
ernment assigns to the end that
the world war, in which we our
selves now are entered, shall be
prosecuted vigorously and to a vic
torious end.
All possible publicity has been
given to the stringent regulations
that surround this ceremony of
registration in order that all may
understand its seriousness; that to
evade it is to court certain punish
ment; that there is no chance to
slide out of the duty of coming fer
ward and registering. 1t is mat
ter that the federal government has
undertaken, and all know that
when Uncle Sam makes law it
means business, and it also spells
woe for the lawbreaker.
All of the rules have been pub
hshed time and again, but here
! they are in comprehensive form.
Clip them out and put in your
pocket for reference.
WHAT AGES MUST REGISTER
All males who shall have attained
their 21st birthday and who shall
not have their 31st birthday on or
before June 5th.
THE EXCEPTIONS.
If you are male between the
designated ages and are not in the
military or naval service of the
United States, you are subject to
registration, and if you fail to pre-
sent yourself, or, presenting your
self, you give false, misleading or
incorrect answers, you are subject
to punishment by Imprisonment in
Jail, to which punishment there is
no alternative of fine.
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.
All persons registered will be fur
nished registration certificate. All
persons of the designated ages must
exhibit their certificates when called
upon by any police officer to do so,
and therefore should always carry
their certificates with them.
WHERE TO REGISTER.
The place of registration is the
voting precinct at your dolnicile.
Your domicile is your permanent
home. The registration office for
Benson will be the Benson Theater.

June 5th, and it is certain that this
section will have no laggers to
apologize for.
A movement is on foot in the
way of a petition to the board of
supervisors for the appointment Of
a county agent, to devote all of his
time to the agricultural section of
Santa Cruz county. With the in
creased demands being made upon
the farmer it seems high time that
he shonld be given the benefit of
experience and proper advice to
place him in a position to carry on
intensive cultivation, and be able to
look to some one to answer the
many questions which always arise
in a new country where the meth

past the experimental stages. This
matter means much to Santa Cruz
county, but be sure Messrs. Super

be sacrificed.

ditions for spring p1owing the indi-

Fruits are a luxury. Vegetables
are a necessity.
Undoubtedly many schemes for

all such plans should be carefully in

can not be done, nor is there any
need for this delay A well known
process of evaporation is in actual
operation in a neighboring state and
the product has not failed to give
