.DANDELIONS USED
AS GOPHER BAIT
This Enemy of Farmers is Particular
About What He EatS-ReSUltS
of Experiment.

0. A. c., Corvallis, August T.
randelions are an effective bait for
poisoning the pocket gopher, the
enemy most dreaded by the william
ette Valley farmers, according to G.
r.. Skyes, professor of zoology in the
Oregon Agriculture College.
Experiments made during the
last two years." said Professor Skyes,
show that the hard bats such as
parsnips and carrots, generally rec
commended by state and federal bul-
letins throughout the country are not
sreatly appreciated by the pocket
gopher. The little animal, it seems,
forms habit of eating some par
ticular food, much as human beings
do. Gophers in the vetch patch
prefer vetch to almost any other
food, gophers in the clover like only
clover, while those on the hillsideS
eat different food from their relatives
in the valleys.
In selecting a bait for poisoning,
therefore, it was found necessary to
cater to the appetites of the gophers
according to the prevalent .vegeta-
tion, or to find one plant that they
would take in preference to any other
food Many varieties of food We're
tried and it was found that on an
average gophers of all localities
would take dandelion first.
1t was found that the hard bats
were picked up and carried back to
the general storage house where they
were seldom if ever touched. Dan
deliOns, however, were eaten at once.
tucked under the edge of the nest
where they could be easily reached
When the dead gQphers were dus
up they were always found near the
point in the runway where the dan
delions had been placed, or lying by
the nest These feeding experiments
nave been carried out and brought tC
a successful completion by H. NJ
Wight, former instructor in zoology
who is now with the 9lst division OF
his way to France.

Thursday last from a vacation auto
trip of two weeks duration. The
trip took them across the mountains
and down to the coast country, their
destination being Crescent City, Cal
ifornia. Pleasant weather was ex-
perienced the entire trip, and they
were especially pleased with the
northern California country where
they visited. Del Norte county in
the extreme northwestern portion of
California is beautiful spot and the
people living there are very pros
porous to .all appearances having
beautiful homes, fine farms and fne
fat stock. The harbor at Crescent
City is being greatly improved and
a couple of million dollars is to be
expended in making docks, etc.
These tourists pronounce this the
finest trip they have yet taken.

Gasoline Ignites From Friction.

What came near being a very
serious affair occurred last Saturday
evening when Mrs. c. l.. O'Neill was
cleaning some clothing with gas
oline. While vigorously rubbing a
cloth garment between her knuckles
to remove an obstinate spot the gas
oline ignited from the Friction and
the flames quickly communicated to
Mrs. ONeill's clothing and also to a
partly-filled five-gallo1 can of the
oil standing near by.
Luckily the work was being done
in the yard and the lady had suf-
ficient presence of mind to throw
herself upon the ground and smother
the flames upon her person by rolling
on the grass, after which, with the
assistance of a neighbor, the fire in
the clothing she had been cleaning
was eXtinguished by throwing earth
on it, thereby preventing it from
communicating with the house.
Mrs, O'Neill was quite severely
burned about the body and hands
but not seriously, cnd considerable
clothing was destroyed. That tht
utmost care should be exercised
in the use CT gasoline is agcir

Fruit and Vegetable Evaporation

O. A. c., Corvallis, August g.
Evaporation of Fruits and Vege-
tables in the Home" is the title of
Extension Bulletin No. 296, just off
the press, in which A. F. Barss,
assistant professor, of pomology,
gives sufficiently detailed informa-
tion to enable anyone to construct
and operate an evaporator and to
evaporate satisfactorily most of the
fruits and vegetables used in the
average home,
The object in evaporation if3 to
preserve the fruits and vegetables
through removal Of moisture and to
do this with as little change from the
fresh state as possible in taste, odor,
nutritive qualities, and general APP
pearance The particular method
used may vary, but the object sought
is the same in every case. In some
instances there may be a change in
color and flavor between the fresh
and dried products, but the nutritive
value, so far as has been determined,
remains practically unaltered, there
being merely a concentration of the
food material through the removal
of water.
The principle upon which the
process of evaporation is based is
that by removing enough Of the
moisture present in fruits and vege-
tables, the organisms which cause
food to spoil cannot live and grow,
thus bringing about preservation.
Evaporation will also arrest the
natural processes of ripening and
decaying.
