CONSERVE SOIL MOISTURE

The rains we are having are put
tir.g a good supply Of moisture into
the soil which Was needed in most
places in Whitman county and now
That we are fortunate enough to have
it every tarmer should do his best
TO so cultivate his crops so that it can
be held in the ground fer the use Of
tho crops themselves instead of being
allowed to eVaporate from the sur
face of the ground anc Re wasted.
Oftentimes tle lack Of slftIcient sup
ply of moisture is the only limiting
factor in crop production and there
are still many people who do not rea-
lie how fast water eyaporates from
the surface of the soil where the sod
is packed and crusted. Just as soon
as it is possible to get on the land
after the rain it should be cultivated
lightly so that a finely pulveri2ed
dust mulch can be kept over as near
the entire surface of the field as pos
sble, To get satisfactory results this
mulch should be about two inches
deep. The soil should not be rolled
or dragged except to pulverize when
it is cloddy.
The efficiency of a dust mulch de-
ponds on that mulch being just as
loose as it is possible to make it by
the use of some light cultivating inn
plement. Keep \ good mulch in your
fie Ids and you VIII fird that it will
make you many dollars.

THE VIOLET STAR

Il always have lived, and | always
must"
The sergeant said when the fever
came;
From his burning brow we washed
the dust,
And we held his hand, and we
spoke his name.
Millions of ages have come and
and gone"
The sergeant said as we held his
hand
They have passed like the mist of
the early dawn
Since l left my home in that far
off land"
We babe him hush, but he gave no
heed
Millions of orbits crossed from
far,
Drifted as drifts the cottonwood seed;
came" said he from the Violet
Star"
Drifting in cycles from place to
place
I'm tired" said he, land Pm going
home
To the Violet Star, in the realms of
space
Where l loved to live, ne'er again
to roam.
For I've always lived and | always
must,
And the soul in roaming may roam
too far;
| have reached the verge that l dare
not trust,
And I'm going back to the Violet
Star"
The sergeant was still and we famed
his cheek;
There came no word from that soul
so tired;
And the bugle rang from the distant
peak,
AS the morning dawned and the
pickets fired.
The sergeant was buried as soldiers
are;
And we thought all day, as we
marched through the dust:
His spirit has gone TO the Violet
Star
He always has lived and he always
must"

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
a 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.

DOCKET GOPHER EXTERNH-
NATION DEMONSTRATION

On Friday, July 8, a demonstra-
lion will be held on the farm of H. II.
Curtis of Pullman to show how to
trap and poison the pocket gopher
The pocket gopher pest is on the
increase in Whitman county and is
doing considerable damage to alfalfa
fields. These animals live on the
roots of alfalfa and other crops. They
do considerable damage to fruit trees
and garden patches. There has been
no organized campaign to exterminate
this pest, but as the amount of al
falfa and sweet clover increased each
year it will be necessary to fight the
gopher very extensively.
Theo H. Scheffer, assistant biolo-
gist of the U. S. biological survey,
will conduct the demonstration,
starting at 100 o'clock. Every
farmer troubled with this pest
should attend the demonstration and
become 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 ap-
proximately an inch long. 1t is best
to mix the strychnine with about one
tenth it's bulk of saccharin in order
to partially disguise the bitter taste
of the poison. The mixture may then
be put into salt shaker and busted
over the bait while the pieces are
still fresh and moist. One-eighth OF
anounce of strychnine is sufficient
for three to four quarts of the bait.
Stir the pieces about in a pan while
busting on the poison. If 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 gopher burrow may be et-
fected by the use of sharpened
prod about an inch in diameter. One
that is made of broom handle, with
a piece of one-quarter or three
eighths inch iron rod fitted into the
larger end and projecting about II
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 enlarging the opening
where poisoned bait is to be put into
the gopher's 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
few days after putting out the bait
SO that if any gophers have escaped
the new mounds they construct will
be readily detected.

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 a 1egume 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 its
value.
The information gained thru a
study of these two crops this year
should be of value in determining
their future agricultural worth.
