RAT CLEANUP is EFFECTIVE
Biological Survey Shows Costly Re
suits in Leaving Breaks in
Basement Walls.

The bad results of carelessness in
leaving breaks in the basement walls
of building originally intended to be
rat-proof are shown in a case recently
reported to the biological survey of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In the course of a rat campaign
In Portland, Ore, in which the rodent
control men from the department were
backed by the city bureau Of health
and the chamber Of commerce, build
ing with unrepaired breaks of this sort
was visited. The owner was advised
to clean up all the rubbish In his base
ment, repair the breaks in the cement
wall, use barium carbonate on Ham,
burg steak to poison the rats, and also
to set more traps. A few days later it
was learned that In removing the trash
three rat nests were uncovered, one
Of which contained Is young. Twenty
six adult rats were found dead the
morning after the poison was spread.

For many years thoughtful men OF
this locality have been wishing thai
some forceful writer would weave a
story of romance and history about
the events and characters connected
with the settlement and development
of southern Idaho that would receive
as much attention in it's day as did
the writings of Washington Irving
in their day concerning the dis
covery and exploration of the valley
of the Snake.
For a long time it has seemed
that the wish was not coming true,
that no great writer was making use
of the wealth of materials at hand,
but now 1t develops that that veteran
writer of western romances, Emer-
son Hough, has brought to bear the
observations of life time in the
gripping story of "The Covered
Wagon and that all the powers of
the movies, the public press and the
advertising department of great
railroad system are to be brought to
bear to place the picture story be-
fore the world as has been done with
1.-THE Birth of Nation"
1t is fortunate that this great
picture is to be put on in the United
States just at a time when the west
is asking the nation to visualize the
advantage of reclamation, and re-
ceiving such hearing as they never
received before. With several great
reclamation projects in the prelim-
mary stages, and with the Greater
FIT. Hall project and the American
Falls storage project just in the max
ing, and this the greatest of all
western films coming before the pub
lie with it gripping story of western
development from the land of the
buffalo to the present modern
electrically lighted cities shown at
the same moment, picturing the
same spots seventy years apart, will
do more to- arouse interest, and
active interest, in southern Idaho
than anything else that has been
suggested. fas
Fifty to seventy years ago the
local Indians fought the families in
the covered wagons passing thru
southern Idaho. In the fall of 1922
the same Indians or their children
went out and staged the old fights
anew with all the same equipment on
both sides-a thousand Indians, a
thousand white people, thousand
oxen in the wagon corral or stamped
ing in the fight, hundreds of buffalo
staged in the real hunt and slaughter
all these things re-enacted and
presented to the nation to show how
the west was stolen from its owners,
how it was conquered as to irrigation
and cultivation and how it rises in
grandeur in it's new birth by the APP
plication of the magic waters.
And the story is made finer to lis
by the fact that old FIT. Hall, the
scene of some of the story, and Twin
Falls and Raft river and Goose creek
flats and the fords of Snake river
below Bull, the seat of some of our
greatest living demonstrations of
reclamation and splendid power
plants, are high points in the story
of "The Covered Wagon" and are
centerpieces in reclamation.

Horticultural
Hints
CULTIVATION is. IMPORTANT
Any Other Growing Crop to
Save Moisture.

1t is just as essential to cultivate
fruit trees as any. other growing crop.
Sometimes the trees are plowed in the
spring and left the rest of the year
without any further care, so far as
cultivation is concerned. An exception
is where a cultivated crop is growing
between the trees. While trees are
young, a cultivated row crop may be
grown between the trees as long as it
does not compete with the trees for
the same moisture and plant food.
Therefore, each year as the trees grow,
move the crop further away from the
trees and when the trees are well into
bearing cease growing spring crop
among the trees at all, writes D. C.
Mooring in the Kansas Farmer, Mail
and Breeze.
A soil that is well cultivated will
accomplish the following things l.
Catch much more moisture, including
rains and SHOWS; 2-Conserve the
moisture; 3-Keep down grass and
weeds; 4-Aerate the soil, that Is, per-
NIT free air circulation, which Is
necessary to the life and development
of the roots.
The first cultivation in the spring
should be four or five inches deep with
whatever available tool is at hand. Be
careful not to skin the trees.
In case your trees are growing in
the yard, where it is not practicable
to use horse power in cultivation,
spade, shovel, or hoe may be used.
Where hand tool Is used loosen the
soil under the tree and at least foot
OF. more beyond the extent Of the
limbs.
The cultivation should begin in early
spring and continue until midsummer
under normal conditions and during
the dry season the cultivation should

GOOD REASONS FOR PRUNING
First object Should Be to Remove
Dead, Broken or Decayed Branches
Cut Out Spurs.

There are five reasons for pruning
fruit trees. The first object Is to re-
move the dead, broken or decayed
branches. The operation may be done
to remove the annual growth so that
the habit Of growth may be altered.
Branches may be removed to prevent
the breaking of limbs or the disfgure-
ment Of the tree In future years. Fruit
spurs and branches may be removed
to prevent the spread Of infectious
diseases. One of the foremost pur-
poses is to cut down the annual
growth to reduce the crop in proper
ton to the capacity Of the tree.
