FIT. HAYS EXPERIMENT STATION


This is the season of the year when
farmers should plan their planting of
trees and shrubs for shade, shelter
belts and ornamental planting. The
experience of the Fort Hays Expert
ment Station indicates that the red
cedar is decidedly the best evergreen
for Western Kansas planting. The
Chinese Arbor Vitae does well for
either hedges or windbreaks but it is
likely to be killed by the occasional
cold, dry winds of March and so is
not quite so dependable as the red
cedar. The best pines for Western
Kansas are the Scotch and Austrian.
Tamarix is the best hedge plant.
It is hardy, starts easily and with
stands the dry seasons well. It can
be pruned or trimmed to almost any
shape one may desire.
The best broadleafed trees are the
blackberry, elm, Norway poplar, cot
fee tree and last the honey locust and
Russian mulberry.
The Russian olive, while it does
not grow large enough to make an ex-
ceptional shade tree, is hardy and be-
cause of its slver-gray foliage makes
a very pretty tree and also furnishes
a good windbreak. The Fort Hays
Experiment Station viii send nurs-
cry catalogue upon request.
This fall the pocket gopher again
appeared in great numbers, especially
in alfalfa fields. In only a few places
was any attempt made to poison
them. Now that warm weather has
thawed out the ground we may ex-
pect them to begin TO throw up
mounds OF earth ali over the fields.
Since it takes only few gophers to
ruin large field, it is important that
farmers who failed to poison the
gophers in the fall put out poison as
soon as fresh mounds of earth begin
to appear.
The most effective method of rid
ding a field Of gophers is to poison
them. The poisoned oats used for
prairie dogs is very efficient. Care
fully open the gopher's run at a
fresh mound and put in small hand
full Of poisoned oats and then close
the hole again with loose earth.
Usually one gopher works on two or
more mounds at the same time, there
fore some Of the poison oats should
be put In the run OF each mound
which shows that the gopher has
been At work.

Rent Pro6teering

In many cities rents are still being
advanced, and apartments have been
advanced from. ten to forty dollars a
month.
AS the population increases and the
housing problem remains unsolved,
rents are continually increased and
who is to blame?
The rent of flats is often jumped
up from SIS to $50 a month over
night and it seems to be continuous
movement.
The prices Of lumber have come
down, but other building materials
have not come down and building
trade wages are high as ever.
Generally speaking there is no
house building to speak of. Once in
a while some carpenter or contractor
with nothing to do builds to keep
busy.
Rent profteering has its basis in
the absurd idea that wages Of build
ing trades shall remain double or at
war scale when in all other Oecupa-
tions labor is working for less.
The iron-clad law Of the union that
the poorest workman at any trade
shall get the same pay as the best,
penalizin9 eheieEey, and reducing
hours and production to q minimum
is the real cause OF rent profteering-

live stock reporting service of their
own. However, it was the sense of
the meeting that this information
should be gathered by government
agencies. The state farm bureaus
will continue their services until the
government establishes a satisfactory
reporting service
The state farm bureaus of the mid
die West are opposed to unrestricted
immigration. In meeting held at
Lincoln, Nebr., last week, officers of
the state farm bureaus of this section
of the country expressed themselves
as opposed to throwing this country
open to all types of immigrants, and
adopted a resolution favoring re-
stricted immigration. The resolution
favors admitting only carefully sell
ected immigrants who shall declare
their intentions of becoming citizens
of this country and living as such.
The Federal Warehouse Act was
Endorsed by the state farm bureaus of
the middle West at a conference held
at Lincoln, Nebr., last week. This
act provides for bonding of ware
houses and grain elevators. This
permits the issuing of warehouse
certifcated upon which money may
be borrowed, and partial payment
made to the farmer before the pro-

work on the campus again and is
teaching several classes for the COM

Miss Cave is the Educational Dir
ector of the State Health Department,
and her work last semester was all
of the extension and lecture type.
She travelled through every section
of the state lecturing on Health" in
the largest cities and also in the
smallest cities which contain high
schools. Her lectures were given
principally to high school girls, espe-
cially seniors and juniors.
The Life and Health" charts pre-
pared by the United States Health
Department were used in this cam
paign.
Miss Cave was as far east as the
Kansas City, Kansas schools where
much interest is being taken in her
subject; west to Sharon Springs;
north east to Atchison; south to
Wichita; and northwest to Oberlin.
In all she talked to over 5000 girls
and to at least 1000 mothers.
Such intense interest was aroused
that mothers have formed clubs in
which the problems of Health and
Social Welfare are being studied. In
y,oanu hiUh schools the GIRLS have or
ganized clubs the ideal of which is

Captured Men, Still and Home Brew
For some time there has been more
or less complaint against a supposed
''home brew still and dispensation
which was going on in the southwest
part of the county on the Smoky.
This resulted in warrant being is
sued and placed inSthe hands of the
sheriff. Sheriff Glenn, acting upon
the instructions issued, went to what
is known as the Fritts Lessor farm,
row owned by Scott Grippin, of Coll
yer township, for the purpose of in
vestigation. He chose the small hours
of the night for making the invest
igation and had the pleasure of max
ing a good find. In this house he
found three men, Scott Grippin, VIM.
Coen and Dave Williams. He also
found a still and some home brew.
The whole outfit was brought to Wa
Keeney. The. men were arraigned
for hearing and admitted their guilt
They were each fined five hundred
dollars and Grippin drew six months
in Jail while the other two got three
months Grippin's sentence was
heavier because he is the owner OF
the house in which the still is located.
There are other suspects in the coun-
ty but it is presumed that this arrest
will put the home brew stills out Of
