The Poison Bait Method


During the last few years injury
from mice in some states has called
for radical action and a careful study
of the situation by government au-
thorities has brought out the recon-
mendation of poison bait as control
measure for mice in orchards. For
mulas for this bait, in sufficient guam
titv to protect 1000 trees, are as fol-
lows:
/. Mix thoroughly one ounce pow
Gered strychnine (alkalold), one
ounce powdered bicarbonate of soda,
eighth ounce saccharin Cor less)
Sift carefully over 40 pounds OF
crushed oats (rolled oats may be
used). Mix thoroughly with grain.
2. Dissolve one ounce strychnine
sulphate in two quarts boiling water
Dissolve two tablespoonful Of laun-
dry starch in half pint cold water
Add starch to the strychnine solution
and boil until clear. Pour the hot
LIQUID over one bushel of oats and
stir thoroughly. Let stand over night
to absorb poison. (Use only best
grade oats).
In applying these poisons do not
nut more than a teaspoonful at a
place. Apply at base Of trees, and in
all runways and burrows of mice. To
avoid poisoning birds, place this ma :
terial under piles of weeds. mulch,
etc., or better still. in small drain
tiles, tin cans or bottles laid on their
sides so that rain will not enter.
Preventing 6reakase from Snow and
Ice
There are two ways that small
trees may be treated in the fall to
prevent broken limbs caused by
Eeavy sleet storms or deep drifted
SHOWS.
/. Practice cutting back of sea-
sons growth one third to one-half,
as in spring dormant pruning. thus
increasing the stiffness of the limbs.
2 Tie the limbs together into a
compact head so that each helps
strengthen and support the others.
Use only soft string and tie firmly to
at least one limb to prevent chatting.

HAVE RIFLE
 RANGE IN SCHOOLS

Fred l.. Beck, of Bridgeport, O., father of Richard Lee Beck, the 14- year-old boy, who has won the cham pionship of the Winchester Junior Rifle Corps the past three years, is firm believer in the Swiss idea or rifle training that every boy ana girl should know how to shoot with rifle. Here is what he has to say cg the subject:
 "if I had my way every school in the United States would have rifle range with instructors so that every boy and girl over eight years or age could learn to handle rifle. With rroner coaching we would have less accidental shootings and also become a. nation of marksmen. Every man, woman and child should learn to shoot and shoot straight.

the family artillery to do little shooting if they got the chance? It is second nature for a full-blooded American boy to want gun and he will soon learn to shoot if he is given a chance. So I would suggest to every father-get your boy rifle and then be his chum as well as his father. You will be surprised al the result of being chums. have trained hundreds of boys i1 rifle shooting and have never had one of them fire a gun by accident, never had one in jured by rifle fire. This is proper training. Accidental shooting and careless handling of rifles is done br people who have had no instructions in their handling and do not know what a bullet will do

JUNEAU ELKS TAKE
 FIRST MATCH FROM
 KETCHIKAN BOWLERS

Ketchikan Elks were hopelessly outclassed by the Juneau Elks in tie first match of the telegraphic bowling tournament between the two lodges last night. The local pin sinashers were in good form and rolled 2634, while the best the First City men could do was 2377. With a lead of 257- pins the Juneau Bills have a mighty fine start in the series, which they mean to hold and, increase if fspossible.
 Fry and Barragar, with totals of 55S and 55S, respectively, were the Juneau stars. A pickup team con- sisting Of Robertson, Cleveland, Me Caul, Lucas and McNaughton rolled the Elks team for pace making pur poses and made a score of PATE. In

Or ders from all parts of the United States, Canada, Cuba and from Eng land, Italy and Honolulu requesting reservations have been received, ac- cording to I. E. Myers, secretary and manager. Last years attendance Of 125,00Ot was the greatest that ever crowded into the speedway grounds, according to MT. Myers.
 Howard Wilcox, local driver and winner of the race in 1919, already has put in some hard practice laps in preparation for the coming event.
 Louis Chevrolet, designer of the winning cars in 1920 and 1921, has been working on half a dozen ears all winter and expects, it was said, to have that many at the starter 5 mark May 30.

CRUCIAL HOOP GAME PLAYED AT DOUGLAS
 ON THURSDAY NIGHT

Play in the senior basketball cham pionship series of Gastineau Channel teams will be resumed Thursday evening when the local City team clashes with the Douglas Bremen. This will be the fourth game be- tween the two teams, Juneau holding one-game edge in the first three.
 The two teams will enter the game with slightly changed lincups from the last session They will meet about on even terms, despite the fact that the last game, played on a local floor was a walkaway for the City players. The Bremen will blve f much stronger lineup than in that game and are confident that they will be able to repeat the victory won by them in the only other game played against the City at Douglas.
 The City five is determined to cinch the series by winning since a victory for them eleminates the Fire men The situation is one that pro 'uces fast basketball and should fur nish the most exciting game of the ,eason. No definite lineup has been announced by either team.
