The Times-Herald finds there Is a
movement among the people of this
county to make preparations for flu
tBre campaigns against pests that are
hsaaoming such nuisance. This year
we not only have to contend with the
drought. but we have had the grass
happers and the ground squirrels.
Rabbits are again becoming rather
plsnfiful and by another year will be
N menace to crops unless we have n
hard winter or some other cause to
rssSacs the number. 1t has been ad-
vvztesi by few that we provide
some means of making bounty
legal on the rabbits and squirrels
hut another method is advanced that
will prove much better and cheaper
In the end and accomplish the de-
sired results, and that is to poison
the pests in a systematic manner.
II is learned from adjoining coun-
ties that poisoning has been sue
essS for both rabbits and squirrels
where it is conducted under govern
Hasni supervision and this can be
tfeae in this county as the govern
NIent will send its experts to assist
In such instances.
The plan suggested Is to ask the
suaniy TO provide at the time of the
aEnual budget is made up for suf-
fEient funds to secure the necessary
poison. 1t is possible that method
of Gistrioting the county for such
purpose may be found advisable, but
at any rate, to provide funds and
create sentiment among the people
To make it obligatory upon the part
of every individual who owns land to
sea that his premises are rid of pests.
BY this method carried out in sys-
temAtj way the squirrels and rabbits
may be destroyed.
One feature of such campaign In
this county is the number OF non
resilient land owners. These lands
NouM have to be given attention and
Ec- that reason II might be possible
80 get aid from the government and
state as in the case of road work
This is a matter that should have
the consideration of the farmers OF
thh county and it is none too soon
ao prepare for next season. as the
s,asiget is made up in December and
s.Il details should be worked out and
"a practical plan decided upon before
the matter is placed before the coun-
ty eDnrt.

The total export OF wheat and wheat

equivalent to about 384,O00.0OO bushels.
Pork exports for the 3h years amount
ed to almost 1000, ,O00. 900 pounds. Ex-
ports OF fresh beef totaled 443, ,484. 400

That so many men prove truly heroic

Army as revealer of character, not
praise or condemn II for the indivi-
dual results OF that revelation. for

FARMERS URGED TO
USE WOOD FOR FUEL

The fuel situation is such that the
Forest Service of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture is urging farm
ers, where possible, to use the waste
wood from farm lots for winter fuel.
The idea to keep in mind is to re-
move for cord wood the poorer, less
valuable trees, leaving the better ones
to stand.
The following telegram received by
all county agents states need of the

aid in having campaign organized
in every rural community for col
lecting these nuts and deliver to
Red Cross for shipment. Urgent"
AS the war has ended, it is doubtful
if the county agent will carry out the
section asking for cooperation in the
gathering of nut shells.

AN MAILS
TO PREVENT WORMS IN PIGS
Especially Important to Protect Newly
Farrowed Animals From Intestinal
Parasites.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Recent investigations have shown
the Importance of taking special pre-
cautions with newly farrowed pigs to
prevent their becoming infested with
intestinal worms. Intestinal worms are
very common parasites among pigs.
and cause a great deal of damage to
the young animals. It appears that as
they become older pigs become less
susceptible to infection. Accordingly,
IL pigs can be protected from infection
during the first few weeks Of life they
are less likely afterwards to be serious
ly injured by intestinal worms Of the
common variety.
The worms are spread by means Of
eggs of microscopic size which are de-
posted by the adult worms In the in
testines Of infested pigs, and which
pass out Of the body in the feces. After
q period of incubation which varies &C.

MENACE TO SHEEP INDUSTRY
Dogs and Coyotes Constitute One Of

WOOL and mutton are commanding

trade. says Bulletin 935. 1.-THE Sheep

The United States is experiencing
the greatest shortage of mutton and
wool In the history Of the country. It
Is the duty of the American farmer to
increase the supply.
The sheep-killing dog constitutes one
OF the greatest menaces to the success
OF the sheep industry.
The dog not only kills sheep but
Keeps out OF the sheep business men

Tie most effective method of dealing
with the sheep-killing dog is through
