KILL PESTS, SAYS
OWENS FOR GOOD
OF GRADY CROPS
Crows and Gophers Should Be List
ed for determination Declares
County Aggie Agent; Tells
To Put Out Bait"

That extensive efforts on the part
Of farmers should be made to ex.
terminate crows and gohhers along
with the prairie dogs, is Che opinion
of j. w. Owens, county agent.
In outlining the methods of kill
ing these pests. Mr.. Owens made
the following statement this morn
ing:
There are SO many crows in Grady
countythey are bound to be doing
lots Of damage and ought to be
killed The same poison we are
using ON the prairie dogs If used as
directed will give the crows the
'kibosh. Here is the way to get
the crows: Use corn insteld of
oats Thoroughly bait n certain
pace where crows are feeding with
Clean grain for three days. This
will guarantee that whatever grain
one uses as poisoned bait later will
suspicious creatures and must be
induced to eat poison. therefore it
is absolutely necessary to bait their
feeding ground. Scatter ,abcut one
bushel Of corn on about one acre
of land for three consecutive days
early in the morning, then scatter
the poisoned corn the fourth day
and every crow in no matter how
large a flock will be killed 1t is
not very expensive considering the
damage done, and / will mix and
disburse poison fro this purpose at
cost to any number of farmers who
will cooperate with me.
Remember also, that poisoned
oats will do the work for gophers,
and a campaign to kill them from
the alfalfa fields ought to be started
Immediately. Every farmer who
appreci3tes the damage done either
by dogs or gophers ought to cooper
ate with his neighbors and clean up
the whole community together"
With reference to the progress OF
the prairie dog poisoning program
Mr.. Owens continued. The prarie
dog campaign is progressing nicely
A few farmers report complete re

exceptionally good. Another lot of
poison will be prepared and ready
for distribution the first of next

Local Boy Boxes
FIT. Worth Lad to
DralU Before ELkS

A clean, fast exhibition of boxing
was the result lass night when young
Johnnie Gragg, local boy, met Ed.
die Dele of TT Worth before the
Elks club.
The IT. Worth boy had the best
OF it as to weight by 10 or 1j pounds,
but the aggresslveness Of Crage
and his fine physical condition over
came any weight handicap ana the
two boys boxed it out to well de
served draw. In the opening rounds
Gr9gg's swings were little wild
and failed to land consistently on
his shifty opponent, but he changed
tactics in the third and mixed
straight lefts and uppercuts to the
body VITA good effect
Dale showed to good advantage
throughout the mill and won many
friends among the fans who joined
at the close Of the card in cheering
"V'i MUS Api iuNll Nltdll opVlNaludll'
ship and clever work
The fourth round was Dale's worst
session AT the close Of this period,
Gragg registered the only knock
down of the mill, but Dale came
back in the fifth in handy fashion
Both were strong at The close Of
the bout
The main event was preceded by
two preliminaries in which the boys
entered showed for amatures, clev-
erness and willingness that rounded
out one Of the best and cleanest
cards seen in Chickasha for many
q day.

landed a right swing to McRay's
face that brought blood and ap,
plause
The switchman was a fighter o
no mean ability and was evening

round when Henry landed ON him
a volley of kidney and solar plexus
blows u few seconds before the gong
rang
McRay took his seat, but shortly
before the gong signalled the be
