month.
BIO special work under this
heading.
C-Harvesting OF crops has just be-
gun at the close of this month. Most
of the harvesting will be effected
during the month Of October. There
will be better than 100000 pounds Of
beans raised this year, and the price
bids fair to be above the average Of
the last three years, due to the scare
ity of this commodity ON the market.
There will also be a large yield Of
sorghum grains which will find a
ready local market.
About three tons OF seed wheat,
barley, oats and rye have been or
dered by farm bureau members for
planting this fall. Most of tine men
! planting this small grain have small
herds of dairy cows. and are prepar-
ing for green winter pasture, as well
as expecting to raise some grain for
farm consumption.
| Fortytwo co-operators in the ro-
dent control work used 255 quarts OF
poisoned grain, covering an area Of
1855 acres with an efficiency of IS
to 100 per cent. quarts of carbon
bi-sulphide was also used in this
work with leo per cent efficiency.
This result proves the fallacy that it
is impossible to poison these pests
during the months of greatest range
growth. OF course it is done easier
during the dry months. but that is no
argument that the work should be
discontinued the remaining months 81
