In pyramid piles they arise from the platter,

While cream flows in rivulets yellow gold

GOPHER BAIT
IS PREPARED
FOR FARMERS
Burleigh County Growers arc
Asked to Cooperate in
Killing Pest

Gopher poison is being mixed at
the court house for Burleigh county
farmers and is ready for distribu-
tion. R. S. Zimmerman, leader of
rodent control for the United States
Department Of Agriculture has issued
the following statement in regard
to the gopher menace in this county:
"For the last several years Bur-
leigh county has not cooperated as a
whole in poisoning the flickertail
gophers. Here and there town
ship has taken steps to treat the in
tested area within township, while
other townships have neglected to
consider the gopher as serious fac
tor in cutting down the annual yield.
This spring so many of the town
ships called for gopher poison that
the Board of County Commissioners
passed a resolution authorizing the
county auditor to arrange for coop
Grafton with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the North Dakota
Extension Division for the treating
of bait to be supplied to the various
farmers throughout the county. BY
purchasing poison materials and
other ingredients of which the bait
is made, as well as. poison sacks in
wholesale lots, farmers in the coun.
ty will realize great saving. To
date some 500 bushels have been
treated and sacked ready for distri-
button. This bait was treated at
Sterling, Mckenzie, Bismarck, Will
ton and Wing. Farmers desiring
bait may obtain the same from their
township officers.
ave have an average of one gopher
for every two acres, $4,000 "gophers"

ed them off this spring and we will
have 264,960 families. Each family
will raise on the average four young

tory for the testing and selection of
new paving materials. The engineer
in charge, Ragnar r. Schuyler, has
personally made a study tour through
the United States.
Sweden spends ~ percent of the
income from automobile taxes for the
reconstruction, widening or re-pav-
ing of roads, 10 percent for new
road building machinery, four per-
cent for new bridges, two percent
on new surface materials and two
percent on research work. American
methods of drainage have already
been adopted in the southern part of
the country and, allowing for diff
fcrences in climate, the American
style of surfaces probably will be
followed. The scientists in charge
have found that of all countries, the
United States is the most advanced
in the matter of making automobile

New York, May 15.-The scnsa-
tional playing streak of Everett
Scott, veteran shortstop of the Yam
KEGS, has come to an end.
For the Deacon" was pulled from
the regular lineup in Wednesdays
game against the Athletics.
When Scott failed to get in that
contest, it was the first time in
close to 10 years that he viewed the
proceedings from a seat on the
bench.
Scott, who had come to be known
as the "Iron Man of the Maj +"
started on his record breaking streak
on June 90, 1916. Since then he had
been at his usual post in at least
portions of every game until being
benched by Higgins the other day.
His consecutive game record stop
ped at 1907.
In making his marvellous run,
Scott overcamc countless obstacles.

will have 1,324,OOO "gophers" by fall.
"From careful field tests it has
been. learned that single gopher
requires one-fourth bushel of grain
to put it in shape for its winter nap.
At this rate, Burleigh county contri-
butes annually 33l, 200 bushels of
grain for the gopher banquet.
"There is no harm in being con-
servative. Let us say that only-one
fourth Of this amount is consumed
by our gophers. $4,000 bushels of
grain is lot to feed to the gophers.
How many bushels will your farm
contribute this year?
'Be sure and call on your town
ship clerk for your portion of bait.
Remember the county is furnishing
this bait to you farmers with the
expectation that you put it out. II
you have gbne over your field once,
try going over the second time. There
is one phase of gopher poisoning
which is often neglected and that is
the task of retreating the field. No
one can find all the gopher holes the
first time over. Better do the re-
treating before the grass and grain
gets too high. Some farmers figure
that we are little late in getting
out the bait. However, farmers in
some of the counties in North Da-
kota do not attempt poisoning their
gophers until the latter part of May
as it is a proven fact that better
results will be had when the goph-
ers are storing the grain for winter
use. In storing the grain, they carry
the oats in their check pouches. The
strychnine poison is then absorbed
through. the lining of their mouth,
and the poison acts much more
quickly than when the bait is eaten.
Do not put the bait down the gopher
holes. The gophers in Burleigh
county come outside to eat. They
use their underground home to
sleep in. Just a teaspoonful scat
tered on the hard surface of the
mound will be sufficient for each
gopher burrow.

| in time to get there for the last few
innings of the game.
At other times illness and injuries
all but kept the deacon" on the
bench. But on each occasion he al
ways managed to get into the fray,
even though sometimes far from fit.
SCOTS great mark will no doubt,
stand for all time. No other ma or
Lacquer in the past even came close
to approaching it. And it's not like
ly that any pastimer in the future
will either.
The next best record in baseball
is held by Perry Lipc, old Southern
Association star. Lipe participated in
1927 straight games, or from 1902
to 1911. Illness in his family, which
called him home, stopped the streak
The next best record by major
league player was that hung up by
Fred Luderus Of the Phillies. Lud-
erus played in 533 straight tits
Oddly enough, he started on his
! streak on June 2, 1916, or just a
short time before Scott commenced
| his run. Luderus' record ended in
1919, however.
