W. D. HUGHES IS GOOD.
FARMER; KILLS WEEDS

One Of the best titled farms in
the county is operated by W. d.
Hughes. Mr.. Hughes lives OF
the old Dunn ranch just opposite
the stock yards in Condor. When
he took the ranch over two
years ago it was very badly run
down and very foul. Today you
can scarcely find a sprig Of Jim
Hill mustard on his ranch and
the tar weed is completely eradi
Gated. Mr.. Hughes has used
more squirrel poison than any
other one man in the county and
It is quite evident that he has
not lost one tenth Of an acre OF
wheat from the squirrels.
Mr.. Hughes wheat will not
fall short of q Is bushel average
for each of his 300 acres. Some
wheat on this ranch will go bet
ter than 25 bushels to the acre.

instead Of being placed In Class
One. Il should be clearly under.

no voice In classifying men who
have industrial or agricultural
claims for exemption but these

the Local Board passes upon is
that Of dependency and In this
county almost every case Of this
kind has been appealed to the
District Board also. The Local
Board is doing It's duty as i'm
partially as possible and should
not be blamed for classi6cations

There seems to be no general
agreement among the farmers Of
Gillian county ip regard to the
time of plowing. Experiments
at the Moro Experiment Station,
covering a six year period. show
that a marked difference in yield
has resulted from plowing at
different times. The results OBJ
tanned there are doubtless appli-
cable to Gillian county and should
be of interest.
Early fall plowing with a mold.

bushels to the acre more than
early fall blowing with q disc
plow. In late fall plowing no
material difference has resulted.
The greatest difference has re-
suited in the spring blowing tests.
1t has been proved that blowing

causes a loss in yield of from one
to two bushels Of wheat per acre

ence has in every case proved

though he sprints his best he
loses it. He had plenty of time
to catch it had he kept on but ne

COMPLETE REPORT OF WORK ACCOMPLISHED In
GILLIAN BY j. c. HAWKINS, The COUNTY AGENT

The County Agent took up work In
Gillian county March 10. 1918. and after
spending u few >days In securing and
remodeling an Office. met with the
county school superintendent and dl.
vided the county into seventeen con-
munities. looking forward at this time
to the formation Of an Agricultural
Council. A preliminary tour Of the
county was made 10 get in touch with
the farmers and leading citizens.
Organization
During April. while q campaign was
being waged against the ground squir'
rels. the matter Of county organization
was taken up at all the meetings. In
most places. community councilmen
were selected. Those were usually Sc
lected by the members of the eommun.
ity. In places where oranges or farm
era unions were located, the community
councilmen were selected by that Or
ganization. At all these meetings the
general scope Of the work OF the County
Agent was explained by an extension
specialist, while the matter Of rodent
control and plans for the local council
were taken up by the County Agent.
On May 4th 4 county meeting was held
in Condor. for the purpose Of organic.
ing an Agricultural Council. Delegates
from every community In the county
were present and very enthusiastic
meeting was the result. The attspd-
ance was rs. Five projects were de-
cided upon by the Agricultural Council,
as follows: Rodent control. grain
grader, farm labor, field demonstration
and industrial club work. The council
also organized Home Economics pro.
ject, to be carried out by the County
Agent, with the aid of an extension
specialist from the college. The Agri-
cultural Council authorized the publica-
tion of the Gillian County Agricultural
News and $50 copies were issued
monthly. Every farmer In the county
received copy of the publication. The
subscription rate Of loc has been set
for the publication. but as yet. the
mailing list has not been revised. The
County Agent recommends that the
subscription price to the Agricultural
News be abolished and this be made q
free service, financed in some other
way.

that ground squirrels would do serious
damage this season. Il has bcen de-
terminsd by the United States Bureau
Of Biological Survey. that every squir-
rel destroys at least one bushel Of
wheat per season. A series of meet
ings we're held In April for the organi.
zation Of squirrel poisoning clubs.
Poisoned oats were mixed according to
the formula Of the Bureau Of Biological
Survey. and distributed throughout the
communities. Ia some cases, an official
mixer was elected to look after the
work in the future. This method Of
handling the squirrel poisoning cam
paign 10 especially recommended. A
group OF neighbors may make a large
quantity Of poison at low cost and 1t
will be mixed uniformly for the whole
neighborhood. Many quarts Of poison
were also mixed in the County Agents
Office and sold TO the farmers at cost,
varying from IL l-2 to l5 cents per
quart. In all $3.50 quarts of poison
were distributed. Assuming that COM
mercial poison sells for 50 cents for a
full quart. and the result Of the poison
Ing far exceeded the result Of the
commercial poison, heretofore used In
the county. Also the quantity used
was far in excess Of that previously
used. owing to the cheapness Of the
mixture. The saving figured at 35c
a quart would therefore be Sl30S on
squirrel poison alone this year. Two
or three years Of vigorous prosecution
Of the squirrel campaign, would with
out doubt, eliminate the pest. A sim.
liar procedure, with the use of differ
ent formula. will succeed equally well
In eliminating jack rabbits. However,
the County Agent arrived too late in
the county to make poison for jack
rabbits.
Grain Grader
Steps have been taken with the Ore
gon Agricultural College and the U. S.
Bureau Of Markets to secure an Official
grain grader for Gillian county. A
committee Of farmers has been coop.
Grating In this matter. At present the
matter rests with the Public Service
Commission.
