MOLES ARE GREAT NUISANCE

ages Eradication Of Trouble
some Little Pest

"The little gentleman in black vel

IyIlIinm III by digging the burro'v tiat
trfpped the English kings horse Is
finding his black velvet jacket a
coveted possession. Reports from the
leading fur dealers in this country in
dictate that the number of American
moleskins marketed during the last
fiscal year was 20 per cent greater
than for the preceding 70 months. The
bureau of biological survey, United
States Department of Agriculture, is
largely responsible for this increase.
In conducting demonstrations in CO.
operation with public schools, states
extension services, and other organiza-
lions, the bureau has encouraged the
eradication of the mole from terrific
ries where the little animal has be-
come a pest. Boys and girls clubs
have been given an opportunity to
study the trapping methods most eff
| fective and also the best way to care
for the tiny pelts. The years catch
of moIes yielded a peltry value in the
state of Washington of 100000, and.
due to the efforts of the specialists, a
costly nuisance has been reduced.

centers and secure the commodities
which he must obtain from these same
centers, specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture have
found. There has been a keenly felt
need liz many rural communities for
such a means of transportation.
While in most places trucks are
owned and operated either by the
farmers for their personal benefit, or
by private individuals who hold them.
selves ready to haul for the public
generally at an agreed rate, it is be-
lieved that many rural communities
would find 1t more economical to form
motor truck cooperative associations.
Many farmers who live within 10 to %
miles Of consuming centers raise ber-
ries. fruit, and truck crops, and most
of them deliver their produce directly
to the city markets. During the busy
season this requires several trips each
week. To make the trip by team means
a long, hard day for both men and
horses.
Before undertaking the formation of
such an association, specialists of the
department advise that a survey be
made to determine that an actual need
exists and that there will be sufficient
business TO warrant operating at least
one truck. It must be remembered,
too, they say, that the personal factor
will in n large measure determine the
ultimate success of the association.

Two men passed away. One had

elected n continuous Hon. until at
last he went to his reward, such as it
was. And the local paper gave him an
obituary as long as your arm.
The other man followed In the foot

a maker of harrows. He was indus
trious and honest, and for years the
Hllligoss harrows which he whacked
out by hand were known nearly all
over the county as reliable utensils.
By-and-by he. too, passed on. The
paper announced his demise In a few

known Cobb County farmer. living a
short distance out of Atlanta, Ga.
I'VE tried nearly everything trying
to cure him and he went of to the
Springs. thinking maybe the water
might help him, but it just looked
like nothing would reach his trouble.
Then he tried dieting and lived on
liquid food until he almost starved,
but even that failed to do him any
good and he just kept going from bad
to worse.
u don't guess there ever was
case as stubborn as his. and IL there
ever was confirmed dyspeptic he was
one OF them, and guess he would
have been one yet IL it hadn't been
for this Tanlac.
THE first we heard of this medi.
cine was when my father saw an adj

he knew in Tennessee, who were
friends of his and he knew what they
said about 1t was the truth, so he got
1t right away and began taking it.

he ate pork and turnips for his dinner
and ate so much we were actually
afraid he was going to overdo the
thing, but he laughed and said nothing
hurt him now and that he was hungry
and expected to eat and make up for
lost time.

One of the first requisites Of a per

about 50 per cent is now produced

Harvest of Stocking.
The stocking harvest should be
started before freezing weather. In
northern Colorado it generally begins
by September 20 and is usually com
pleted with all the beets in the silos
by October 10. Harvesting begins by
the tops of the stockings as
close to the ground as practicable. If
the mowers are run first one way and
then back again on the same row,
many leaves will be cut off which
would not be removed If the machines
were run in one direction only. The

quently desirable to irrigate before
harvesting, especially if the soil is
dry. If the foliage of the stockings
is thick and heavy, 1t pays to gather
the leaves and silo them for feed, but
usually they are left on the ground to
dry. In order to prevent drying out
stockings must be hauled Immediately
after being pulled.
