 Some time ago Kansas farmers, unable to move grain by railroad cars, did move 3,O00,000 bushels to market in motor trucks over good highways.
 Tens of thousands of new automobiles have left Detroit weekly on their own power because there were no railroad cars in which to transport them to desti- nation.
 These cars will help bring stuff over good highways for shipment by the rail- roads
 Transportation would be ideal and the railroads would be best off under mag nificent system of interknit highways and inland waterways touching railroad tracks in the pink of condition on which an ample supply of locomotives and cars enabled the handling of maximum amount of freight and passenger traffic
 The highways would enable the farm CTS to assemble their stuff economically at central points. Where good highways exist maximum of farm products get to these depots.

Youthful, Beautiful
 Skin Easy to Have

You may be as healthy as bird in the air and still have a poor complexion Changing seasons and temperatures, winds dust and dirt, are apt to injure any skin, even though the general health be good. When these external influences spoil the complexion, the natural thing is to re- move, the spoil by external means. Or dmary mercolized wax will do this. II will actually absorb the weather-soled film-skin, little each day. In a week or two you'll have a brand new complexion, a new skin. The exquisitely beautiful and youthful complexion thus acquired, comes so easily. without harm or discomfort there's no reason why any woman should not adopt this simple treatment. Just get an ounce of mercolized wax at any drug store, apply nightly like cold cream, wash ing it off mornings. This will not fail in any case. It is the best thing known for freckles, moth patches, liver spots and pimpies

,ocrET GOPHER EXTERNH-
NATION DEMONSTRATION

IN Friday, July 8, a demonstra-
lion will be held on the farm of H. H.
c.rt;s of pullman to show how to
tran and poison the pocket gopher
THE rocket gopher pest is on the
,,orease in Whitman county and is
doing considerable damage to alfalfa

.oots Of alfalfa and other crops. They
;. considerable damage to fruit trees
and garden patches There has been
N organized campaign to exterminate
this nest, but as the amount of al
so,fa and sweet clover increased each
voar it will be necessary to fight the
gopher very extensively.
Theo. H. Scheffer, assistant biolo-
riot Of the U. S. biological survey,
,ri,, conduct the demonstration,
starting at 100 o'clock. Every
former troubled with this pest
sbould attend the demonstration and
bocome acquainted with the methods
of determination.
The very best poisoned bait we
have so far discovered for pocket
gophers consists of sections of sweet
potato or parsnip or carrot treated
with powdered strychnine, preferably
the alkaloid form. The vegetable
used should be cut into pieces about
as thick as ones little finger and APP
proximately an inch long. 1t is best
10 mix the strychnine with about one
tenth its bulk of saccharin in order
TO partially disguise the bitter taste
of the poison. The mixture may then
be nut into a salt shaker and busted
over the bait while the pieces are
still fresh and moist. One-eighth Of
announce of strychnine is sufficient
for three to four quarts of the bait.
Stir the pieces about in a pan while
busting on the poison. Ii the bait
has dried so that the poison will not
readily adhere wet the cut vegetables
and then drain until the pieces are in
the proper condition The bait must
not be sloppy
In getting out the bait, entrance
to the gophers burrow may be eff
fected by the use of sharpened
prod about an inch in diameter. One
that is made of a broom handle, with
a piece of one-quarter or three
eighths inch iron rod fitted into the
larger end and projecting about u
inches, will give good satisfaction in
ordinary soils. Both the rod and
handle should be bluntly pointed.
The former is used as a seeker, the
latter for charging the opening
where poisoned bait is to be put into
the gophers runway. This can be
found by prodding the soil in a line
between two adjacent mounds or, If
the pile of earth has been freshly
thrown up, push the dirt aside with
the foot and find the lightly plugged
lateral leading into the runway. AT
Ter putting two or three pieces we'll
down or back into the burrow, close
the opening with a clod or pieces of
SOIL or other obstruction. 1t is a good
plan to obliterate all the gopher hills
with hand rake or drag of some sort
lew days after putting out the bait
so that if any gophers have escaped
the new mounds they construct will
be readily detected.

TWO NEW CROPS NEED
FURTHER STUDY
Sunflower and Sweet Clover Have
Come to Stay

1t would be well to make careful
observations and obtain further data
regarding the yield and value of sun
flowers and sweet clover during the
present year, in order to determine
more accurately their limitations. and
the districts in which they may be
considered successful crops. SUN
flowers and sweet clover have both
been making Roadway in establishing
themselves within the state. There
is but little doubt of their worth in
certain districts and it seems likely
that they will become important crops
in many part of the state.
The chief use of the sunflower at
the present time is for silage, and
sweet clover is best suited for a pas
ture crop. 1t is possible that these
crops may have other uses or have
wider adaptation than they are
known to have at the present time.
While they are valuable crops the
full meaure of their use still must be
considered as in the experimental
stage.

Effects on Soil

In determining the worth of these
crops, not only their yield and feed
ing value should be considered, but
also the effect they have on succeed
ing crops. On he College experiment
tai fields last year, where sunflowers
and corn were grown side by side, the
sunflowers reduced the yield of the
adjacent corn rows. Sunflowers are
vigorous growers and it is possible
that they remove more plant food and
moisture than corn. In determining
their value it would, therefore, seem
important that the effect upon the
following crop be considered
Sweet clover being legume crop,
it will no doubt have a beneficial eff
feet upon the land when properly in
oculated This should also be taken
into consideration in determining it's
value.
The information gained thru a
study of these two crops this year
should be of value in determining
their future agricultural worth.

Then when ready to take the first

line with the Northwest point Of
the compass, distance barn per-

towards your landmark and con-
suit your compass Immediately if
you lose sight of it.
In case your straight Northwest
course takes you to a swamp or

must find way around. But be-
fore changing your direction. be
sure to notice and remember some
inlet, clump of trees, or lone pine
on the other side, in line with the
N. w. point of your compass,
which you can use as a new start
ing point when you reach it.
If you decide to turn toward the
east in rounding the pond or swamp,
find a landmark in that direction
and, when you reach it, stop until
you choose another landmark due
north, then 60 toward that.
In this way, consulting your COM

the other side of the water and can
then walk west until you find the

take your Northwest course again,
finally reaching the promised haunt

Some spell them out loud, and
some don't.
Some look at them on the page

a picture of them in their minds.
II you can get a spelling lesson
quickly and make no mistakes,
write to the Junior Editor and tell
him just how you do it. Other
