CIVIC PROGRESS IN 1928

a MEXICAN communities are go.
= ing ahead fast, and every year
brings some new story of pro.
gress. All over the country people
are organizing and carrying out
plans to make their home cities
more efficient on the municipal
side, more successful in a business
way, more attractive for homes,
and more pleasing in their physic-
al appearance.
Any community that lacks def
mite plans along each one of these
four lines is not keeping up with
the spirit of 1928. These forms of
development have to be planned
for by careful forms of organiza-
ton, and people have to be work.
ing Systematically to see that the
plans are carried out. We can
make gains along these lines in
Kennewick during this year.
People fritter away time in
fruitless ways, and if they would
take some of that wasted time,
and take hold with efforts for inn
proved business, better education,
more attractive neighborhoods, etc.
the year would show great gains.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT MAY
BECOME AN ISSUE

BEFORE many years are past,
it is predicted that capital pun
ishment, the practice of taking a
life in return for life, will be-
come an issue in national politics.
AS the nation studies the var
ious moves and plans of legal
brains employed in the Ruth Sny-
der-Judd Gray case, it becomes APP
parenS that the country is rapidly
becoming of formed opinion, fav-
oring capital punishment, or de-
string to do away with the pen
atty altogether.
Insofar as "backing'' or defense
for either side of the argument is
concerned, the, Bible revelations
will back either belief, favoring or
disfavoring capital punishment.
Something else for the nation to
begin thinking over, something to
discuss aside from the failure of
enforcement of prohibition laws.

SHORT DAYS

IN A state of nature, people
= would not try to do as much
work in the days of brief sunlight.
In such state their work was
mostly in the fields, and they
largely hibernated in winter.
Today we try to do more work
IN winter than in summer, and we
miss the daylight. Artificial light
has been wonderfully perfected
hut many people still work and
read with defective lighting. There
are many of them who always
nave headaches and tired eyes in
winter.
The human race needs sunlight,
and the lack of it in winter must
be one reason why people are not
quite so healthy at that time. But
if we keep out doors all We can
and have sufficient exercises. we
shall survive and be ready to well
come the returning sun.

In the second place, the Apostle
Paul says to Timothy: Drink no
longer water but use a little wine
for thy stomach's sake and thine
often infirmities." 1 Tim 5:23. He
would not advise Timothy to drink
wine, if it were sin. Liquor has
been terribly missused, but the
missusage of a thing does not
necessarily make the thing itself
sinful. Since the atmosphere is
charged with temperance thoughts
this does not give me authority
to call drinking sin. Jesus himself
turned water into wine at the
wedding in Cana. The right use
of wine in itself is not sin. "Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet" Ps.
119: los.

SMOKING & DRINKING

What 1 am going to say about
smoking and drinking is going to
be in the spirit of enlightenment
and helpfulness. We ought to help
one another. We ought to let our
light shine.
There is great danger in label
ing things sin, which God does not
label so. 1t may be stumbling
stone to some. Some who might
attend the tabernacle or churches
may stay away mainly because
they find in the last Courier
Reporter that smoking is a fool
ish sin," and that drinking comes
under the same class. just see
how narrow Christians are! They
don't even allow a good smoke!
There is financial burden in
the use of tobacco. There is a
temptation to use it over much.
But this does not say it is in itself
sinful. 1t is the perverted use of
it that makes it sinful. 1t is the
misuse of these things that leads
to the breaking of the laws of
God. One may make almost every
thing sinful by missusage. The
manufacturer most likely loads to-
bacco with things that cause a
perverted craving for it, but this
does not mean that the right use
of tobacco is sin.
Smoking and drinking in itself
it not sin. God says in the first
chapter of the Bible Behold I
have given you every herb bear
ing seed; which Is upon the face
of all the earth. and every tree
yielding seed; to you it shall be
for meat and God saw every
thing that he had made, and, be-
hold, it was very good:" 20 to 81
verses. God created the tobacco
plant and the vine, and they are
for mans use.

POISON POCKET GOPHERs
NOW

Following the rather prolonged
rain which we have just had, it
should be comparatively easy to
locate pocket gopher runs and note
their activities in field or orchard.
II is at this time of the year that
pocket gophers are more active
They are now gathering food
stores to be cached for winter.
During this period they are very
active in making new runways
and may be found almost any
where pocket gophers are at all
plentiful. Poisoning the pocket
gophers is the most efficient meth
Cd of getting rid of them and now
is the best time to do this.
The first thing one needs do, IS
to prepare the bats. Sweet pota-
toes or carrots cut into pieces ap-
fortunately Ia inch square and
an inch long make excellent bats
for poisoning. If over this. a mix

NITRATEs FOR ORCHARD

Several orchards in various parts
of the county have been gone over
with the owner to determine wheth-
er there was an apparent need Of
nitrates. Nitrate fertilizers are
those which Stimulate leaf and twig
growth as well as assist the plant
in setting and carrying of more
fruit. According to Mr.. Armstrong
the Extension Horticulture Spec
.ialist, trees in the orchard not
making a lateral growth of 10 to
II inches, there is a deficiency in
the nitrates available and it would
pay to fertilize this orchard with
some form of nitrate fertilizer,
preferably ammonium sulphate,
which carries approximately 20
per cent nitrogen, or Nitrate Of
Soda, which carries 16 per cent.
The usual rule of application Of
these fertilizers to the orchard is

ture of strychnine and saccharine
composed of eight parts alkaloid
strychnine and one part of sac
lcharine is sprinkled so as to give
it light coat, this material makes
fine bats. Put a thin layer of this
into the bottom of a bucket and
sprinkle with the above mixture,
then another layer put in and again
sprinkled, and this continued until
enough bats are prepared for the
area to be poisoned.
1t is better not to prepare bats
more than few hours in advance
of the time they are to be distrib-
uted.
In locating runs to distribute
the bats, if one will check care
fully the mounds of dirt thrown
up, one will find that the dirt has
been thrown out from one direc-
ton. A pocket gopher digs his
chimney" approximately eight or
nine inches long from the main run
to the surface. BY noticing care
fully the construction of the mound
zone can tell quickly on which side
Iof the mound the run will he
found. A prod made of an old
broom handle, sharpened rather
bluntly and pushed down about six
inches from where the last dirt
has been thrown out, will usually
locate the run. Bait should all
ways be placed in the main run
way. When this run has been
found, two or three pieces of bait
can be dropped in and the hole
covered up. If one wishes to
check the activity of gophers, they
may examine the runway where
these openings have been made
occasionally.
The county agent has prepared
sitter guns with the proper mix
ture of strychnine and saccharine
for anyone wishing this material
and method of poisoning gophers.
The men of the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey were scheduled in
here early in October, but gophers
were SO inactive at that time that
the progrom was postponed, and
it is hoped that they will be able
to get in again for some demon
stration meetings before the sea-
soin gets too late.

ARTICHOKEs GIVE BIG YIELD

xAAS AOAAOAA4IAJ VA
A. E. Lemka of Whiae Bluffs
has a splendid crop of artichoclces
grown this year for succulent feed
for te dairy herd. This is the
second year which Mr.. Lemka has
grown this crop and he is very en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of
the GRO as dairy feed and also
as a Gro which might be grown
for sugar urposes in his commun-
,lty if it is to have possibilities
along that line.
The county agent visited Mr..
Lenka's place the. latter part of
last week and one hill was dug up.
There was wonderful set of tuber
thruout the hill and the hills had
run right together so that it was
almost impossible to tell where
the one left off and the other be-
gan. The frost had seriously
damaged the top, and but for a
few days following the heavy frost
of last week, the tops would have
made sileage, thereby producing
two crops, silage above the ground
and a tuber Gro below. They also
make an excellent feed for hogs
where grains are fed with them.
Mr.. Lemka promised to weigh
the hills from one row when he
harvests and results on this field
will be given later.

200 pounds of ammonium sulphate
to the acre Of approximately four
pounds to the tree, where the or
'chard runs approximately so trees
to the acre. Where Nitrate Of So
da is applied $50 pounds is usually
the application per acre or five
pounds to the tree.
The time of application of Nj
trate fertilizers, according to Mr..
Armstrong; recommendation, is
during the winter months, At this
time, the rains will carry the fer
tilizer down into the soil enough
SO that the roots will be able to
take them up in the spring and
yet they will not be washed out
of the soil by irrigation. Two of
the demonstration plots being run
this year were fortified with nj
trates, and on both of these, there
was an increased yield in the DEM
onstration plot over the check plot.
Whether any or all of this was
due to the fertilizers, we cannot
say at this time, but undoubtedly
the fertilizer had something to do
with the increase.
We would recommend that or
chard men study their orchards
rather carefully and see whether
they are making satisfactory
growth. If not, it would seem adj
visable to fertilize with nitrates
for year or two.
