Faulkner oees Automobile

IOoSo
An Anderson touring car the prop
erty. of j. Frank Faulkner of York
vile was badly smashed up in colli-
sion with a transfer truck on the ou.-
skirts of Charlotte, Tuesday, while
Mr.. Faulkner with Mrs. Faulkner and
little son Tom were driving into the
North Carolina city. Mr.. Faulkner
was painfully bruised about the chest
and stomach caused by impact with
the steering wheel when the big truck
crashed into his car. 1t is alleged that
the truck, a three-ton machine, the
property of a Charlotte transfer COM
pany, was travelling In the direction
of Gastonia. Mr.. Faulkner, seeing
the approaching truck moved as far 10
the right of the road as he could do
without overturning his car into a
fill. The brakes on the truck were
said to have been loose and the driver
smashed into the car after striking n
wagon which was proceeding toward
Charlotte, just ahead of the Faulkner
car. The engine of the automobile is
said to have been badly damaged, one
of the tires was cut and the frame was
broken. Neither Mrs. Faulkner nor
her son were injured.

piers, moles, mice, squirrels, sagerats,
prairie dogs, beayers-causing heavy
damage says an Olympia, Washington
dispatch. The Department of Agrlcul-
ture through the Biological Survey
spent nearly s1,OOO,OOO last year eX-
perimenting with methods of eradicat-
ing them. There is hardly an acre of
agricultural land in the Northwest that
is not infested with some rodent pest.
About 10000 jackrabbits were
poisoned, trapped or taken in drives
during the past season. They are still
on the increase. Huge drives with
the hunters using miles Of wire net
ting will soon begin systematically
cleaning district after district.
The ground squirrel has been one
of the most serious menaces in the
wheat growing section Of eastern
Washington. The loss has been esti-
mated at about So per acre! During
the past year 100000 acres were
treated with poison to combat squir-
rels.
The marmot or mountain grounding
came into the spotlight during the past
two years. In fruit sections, berry
fields and gardens he ate off the vege-
tation close to the ground Everything
tasted good to the grounding. After
biological survey in one demonstration
eighty-one dead marmots were picked
up in one field.
Molcs were reported damaging plant
ed areas in western Oregon and south
western Washington. Twenty-seven
trapping operations were carried on to
get this pest The skins fetched from
Is cents to 25 cents each. One vege-
table gardener sold over 1,200 skins.
A serious mouse plague has develop
ed in the orchard districts of the three
Northwest states. In Oregon mice
damaged many tracts OF young trees
before the orchardists were alive to it;
the bark peeling had been charged TO
rabbits. In central Washington over
three hundred orchardists reported
mice doing damage in their tracts.
Efforts to control the pocket gopher
were made in eleven counties in
Washington, ten in other states. 1t has
been noticed the gopher is a menace to
certain districts periodically, giving
rise to the theory of migration in i'm
mense bands. This year the gophers
left the poisoned fields and plowed up
orchards and irrigated tracts. They
were particularly destructive in alfalfa
fields.
A new rodent pest and difficult to
combat because of protective laws is
the beaver. Serious damage has been
reported in fifty-three cases where
beavers have invaded cultivated areas
along streams or irrigation laterals.
The beaver, breeding in the head
waters of streams unmolested, have
increased remarkably rapid Near
Yakima, Wcnatchee and Chelan Falls
beavers have migrated from the birch
and poplar swamps to the alfalfa
and orchards. Damming up laterals
and diverting needed water is another
beaver crime. The biological survey
invented a special trap to take beaver
alive, after which they were trans
ported to far-off national forest re-
serves. In one orchard twenty eight
were taken alive in one night.
