Kittitas and Okanogan, The farm
ers and co-operators in these coun>
ties have spent, so far this season,
$t5,059.57 for poison alone.
Three special assistants have been
employed to help with the campaign
in the counties of Whitman, Stevens
and Spokane and various methods
are being uesd to mix and distribute
the poisoned oats.
Whitman county is mixing poison
in IA different communities and has
established stations in these com
munities where poison may be OBJ
tanned ON different days for the
next four months. Spokane county
mixed poison in six communities ana
had it delivered from these centers.
TIT most of the other counties the
poison is being mixed in one central
place and sent out by truck over the
county.
Farmers all over the infested area
are hacking the campaign as never

ITS a simple matter, if you
1 cannot get a painter, to re-
finish any hoor-fun, in fact,
to do the work yourself.
We make the finest finishes.
They dry over night, so you
can walk on them in the morn
ing.
They are made for laymen's
use as we'll as painters - they
flow and spread easily and cover
well. The result is a smooth
and lustrous finish - Just the
one you want to get, although
you - an amateur do the
work.
Women can apply these prod
ucts as well as men.

Wild Morning Glory

Perhaps the most dangerous weed
in Whitman county is the wild morn
ing glory. In some localities these
weeds have become so troublesome
that the county agent has been asked
to take the work of determination
in hand The morning glory has
been considered the most difficult
weed to exterminate, but the agent
is confident that it can be killed very
readily with the use of chemicals.
These chemicals will kill the morn
ing glory and at the same time kill
the land for a year or two. Most
of the morning glory is in patches
at the present time and every farm
er is willing to lose the use of the
land to get rid of the morning
glory

Squirrel Poison

During the month of March the
county agent has mixed and dis
tributed eight and a half tons of
poisoned oats to be used in poison
ing ground squirrels. One thousand
seven hundred sixty-seyen ounces of
strychnine and 176 ounces of sacch-
arin were used in the preparation of
the bait. The strychnine bought at
the retail price would have cost
$46S2.65. The strychnine has cost
the farmers of Whitman county
s32S6.62. Through the county
agent the farmers of the county have
saved during the month of March
$1527.93 in the purchase of strych>
nine and saccharine. March, how
ever, has been bad month in gen.
eral to poison the squirrel. During
the month of April it is expected
that more than double the amount
will be distributed.

commercial potatoes in large guam
titles are turning their attention to
the production of certified seed po-
tatoes. There is a big demand in

toes of the Melted Gem variety and
they are looking to the eastern coun,
ties of Washington to supply this de-
