Sweetening the soil with lime Is
very important to the onion crop.
Fairly deep blowing opens up the
soil so rain can soak In more readily.
Proper drainage is the basis Of any
rational method Of soil Improvement.
A much neglected source of lime,
potash, and phosphoric acid is wood
ashes.
Weeds use up a lot Of moisture and
the weeds grow all the time; they must

GET RID OF RODENTS!

prepared by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.)
The annual losses from rodent
pests in the United States have
been estimated at fully $780,
100000.
About twO-fifths of this dam
age is inflicted. by house rats and
mice, both introduced from the
old world, and the remainder by
native species.
This enormous waste of re-
sources may be greatly reduced
through systematic and organ
lied campaigns against the in
furious species.
The bounty system effects no
permanent relief and Is far more
costly than the s of pOisons
and traps.
The United States department
of agriculture has developed and
perfected practical methods Of
determination which have been
successfully applied over wide
territory.
The bureau Of biological survey
Of the department co-operates
with the public in organizing and
carrying out systematic cam
paigns against animal pests and
invites correspondence on the
subject.
Protection of their natural enc
mics Is urged as an important
aid In controlling rodent pests.

Secretary Houston arrived here yes

Hans Sulzer Madame Sulzer and Mrs.
Houston, and others was en- route to

Secretary Houston said his depart
ment is not so much interested in re-
construction as in continued produc-
ton. This was in response to a ques-
ton relating TO irrigation and road
construction, both of which come un-
der his department.
Secretary Houston has a plan for
leasing grazing lands to cattle and
sheep men, by which he thinks the
government can realize a consider
able amount of money from lands
which are not really suited to home
stealing: and he is quite positive
that such lands should remain in the

Secretary Houston seemed to have
the idea that the cattlemen of the
public land states prefer that the
lands remain in the hands of the fed
eral government. because they can, he
says deal better with the federal
government than with the state gov
ernments.
