prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Farmers In sections where the acre
age of wheat is unusually large are
urged by the department of agriculture
to provide enough bins on the farm
to take care of their wheat when
thrashed. This is said TO be neces-
sary to save the wheat that will prob
ably pile up In certain localities, be-
cause the large crop is likely to put
a heavy strain on storage elevators
and transportation systems. The
wheat should be stored in bins on the
farm, according to the bureau Of mar
kets, which has issued a circular con-
tanning plans and drawings for a port
able bin that can be quickly built.
Copies Of this circular have been dis
tributed to county agents throughout
the large wheat-producing sections.

A new formula for a poison in fight
ing grasshoppers has been tested out
and found TO be the equal, if not the
superior, of the bran-mash formula, at
least in the particular region where it
has been used.
The regular bran-mash formula
composed Of % pounds of bran,
pound of arsenic or paris green, one
half gallon of molasses, and lemons
was found to cost about $1.75 at cur
rent prices in western Nebraska.

people prefer one large, pleasant room

Bloodhounds were first known as
sleuthhounds, owing TO their ability to
track the deer wild boar or the woif.
When the wounded game broke away
and was lost, these good-nosed dogs
were used in trailing the quarry by
the blood trail. md hence they were
nnally called bloodhounds.

II the first appearance in this coun-

weeds and to take precautions to pre-
vent their dissemination.

1t has been found that in warm eli
mates the poison bats prepared with
alfalfa meal must be used almost inn
mediately, as they sour If kept until
the following day. Another objection
able feature is that the meal is usu-
ally so finely ground that it cannot be
distributed without considerable waste
by the use Of an end-gate grain seeder.
such as employed in some portions Of
the country in distributing the bait.
The greatly lessened expense Of
fighting grasshoppers by the use Of al
falfa meal mixture induced Nebraska
farmers TO combat the pest much
more energetically than they would
have done If the more expensive bran
mash formula had been used.

to 3, 1t was found that the same bulk
of poison mixture was obtained for
approximately 81 at current prices.
The molasses used was cattle mo-
lasses, obtained at beet-sugar fac

falfa meal has such swelling power
when plenty Of water is added that
the 10 pounds makes approximately
the same amount Of poison mixture
as % pounds Of bran.

HOADERS OF SUGAR PUNISHED

That hoarders of sugar>are not going
scot free when the food administration
of the State learns that they have been
violating the food regulations, is evil
dencedin the manner in which district
food administrators are pursuing their
duties of the Office.
A man in Kent county town, it was
learned, went from one store to another.
obtaining two pounds from each of four
storekeepers. This news cane to the
ears of the district food administrator
and he called upon the citizen and told
him that he must return three of the
allotments Of sugar to the storekeepers.
In making this decision, the district
administrator told the citizen that he
must return the sugar within q speci-
fed time and give him receipts showing
that he had done so.
While the citizen objected. he never
the'ess complied with the order within
the specified time.
In this connection it is learned that
the Food Administration has been in
formed of several other attempts at
boarding sugar. These are being in
vestigated and if found accurate the
violators perhaps will not be given as
much clemency as was the citizen re-
ferred to in this story.

The increase in express rates recent
~ granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission makes it possible to i'm
mediately revise the wage schedules Of
the American Railway Express Co.
president Taylor Of the new COM
pany in an interview says that
he has been in session with his
chief operating officials end that they
will begin Immediately a REIMBURSEMENT
of the wage schedules of the larger
number of express employees through
out the entire country and that it is the
intention Of the new company to utilize
substantially the entire revenue accru-
ing from the increased rates that will
be available to the express company in
an advance in wages. It will be appre-
ciated that with such an enormous or
ganization throughout the entire coun-
try it will necessarily take some little
time to work out the increases in q sys-
tematic and equitable manner. 1t is
hoped this entire question can be dis
posed of within period of thirty days.
However, the employees will not suffer
in consequence Of this delay inasmuch
as all increases when announced will be
made to take effect from July LIST, 1918.
None Of this money will be used to in
crease the salaries of the higher-paid
men or the officials of the Company.
The additional revenue accruing from
the increased rates will be distributed
upon the basis of doing the greatest
good to the largest number. 1t is
hoped that the use of this money ex-
clusively for the purpose of increasing
the sala,i les of express workers will en-
courage them to do everything possible
to insure an improved service to the
public
