RED SQUILL BEST POISON
FOR RATS, SAYS SPECIALIST

Nothing good can be said of rats
The United States Department OF
Agriculture estimates that on the
average every rat in the United
States does damage amounting to
fully So year and that there are
at least as many rats as human
beings in this country, altogether
too many rats levying this tax on
national production. Their econom-
ic wastefulness requires vigorous
measures for their control.
In addition to the physical dam
age rats do by destroying food and
property, the Bureau of Biological
Survey points out that they are a
serious menace to the health of the
nation. Rats are known to spread
trichinosis and to carry bubonic
plague and other diseases, either
or by means of the fleas
that live on them.
It is not easy to kill rats. They
avoid their natural enemies and
they are careful and cautionus. If |
heir suspicious have been aroused |

GRADE SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENTS

Is there any one who passes our
grade school that does not admire
the attractive grounds? 1t is not
recognized as the grade school OF
a few wears ago. A lawn has been
planted and flowers and shrubbery
adorns the grounds. Almost the en-
tire front Of the building is covered
with vines. Bordering the grounds
and the walk is a newly started
hedge.
There are now three hundred and
twenty-five pupils enrolled in the
grade school. In order to accon1o-
date the teachers and to further
and better the education of the stu
dents, a Keystone set Of stereo-
graphs and lantern slides has been
acquired. They visualize a clear
and correct picture in the minds OF
The children. They are able to act
ually see q picture Of a situation
detailed in written or spoken
thought. The program OF this Key.
stone set is in line with the best
educational thought and the react
ion away from the too high valu-
alton of superficial information
and towards developing habits OF
thoroughness, definiteness, and OF
honesty. It will help make school
what It ought to be-not so much
a training for life as a training IN
life.

small amount of tramping was

small amount of tramping was
done.
The practice at Beltsville is TO
use the regular farm teams and
help without hiring more than a
few extra men. Filling, therefore,
is done rather slowly, an average
days work being 40 or 30 ton. The
corn is planted so that it will not
mature at once, thus making poss-
ible its harvesting at about the
right stage of maturiey. Under
such conditions tramping silage is
an unnecessary expense, according
to the United States Department
of Agriculture. If filling is done
much faster than was done in these
experiments, or if the corn has
passed the proper stage of matur
ity there may be some question
about the advisability of not
tramping, the department says.
Where silos are filled slowly, it
is possible to fill without having
to hire the extra labor for tramp
ing. Care must be taken, however,
in filling silo in this way espec-
tally if the silo walls are not quite
true and if the silage is allowed to
collect as dumped or blown into the
silo on one side of the silo. We
have seen examples of considerable
spoiloge of silage due to pockets
of silage being formed which was
not packed and which could not be-
come packed after the silage had
been filled in above it. Our advice
would be that if one were going
to fill without the packing, that
they use extra care in distributing
the silage as it goes into the silo.

PEP PEP PEP
Margaret Witt

Pep and lets of it-thats what
this high school needs!
Bill Burriss and Margaret Moul-
ton, pep leaders, filled the primary
need for some new and original
yells. Several special Ash. meet
ings were called last week to prac-
tice these together with foot
ball song, which, although is not
original, is new to K. ii. S. 1t is
really amazing how voices, weak
and seldom heard in classrooms,
turn lusty on such occasions as
these.
Pep speeches were another inter-
estinp feature Of assembly meet
ings.. One impromptu talk given by
Coach Linden was especially note
able. He pointed out several de-
fects in our yell and song prac-
tice and remedies for them. Alta
boy, Coach!
The pep rally last Thursday noon
included over one hundred and sew
enty-five enthusiastic A. 8. B.
members, and was planned mainly
to arouse interest in Fridays foot
ball game. AS climax everybody
filed into the Kennewick hotel
and entertained the Commercial
club with yells and pep speeches.
We are assured that if you ask
any K. H. s. student his definition
of pep he will tell you, without any
hesitation or apologies to Webster,
that pep is the K. S. B. student
body plus two or three yell leaders
and one cracking good football
game.
Great stuff, this pep!

THE NEW STAFF
MAKES W'SB

The Broadcaster section of the
Kennewick Courier-Reporter is,
as you probably know, conducted
by the senior class. The members
of the staff are all seniors, altho
contributions are solicited from the
other classes as well.
Emerson Potter, the new editor,
has already acquired the editorial
ssWE.o He is a good organizer and
very thorough in his work. Conse-
auently, we are anticipating that
with the help of his competent as
sistants, the Broadcaster will as
sumo position in the high school
community that it has hitherto
never known.
One innovation for which Emer-
son is responsible is the addition
of two assistant feature writer's .
Margaret Witt, who has charge
of the feature department, and her
two helpers, Shirley Mulkey and
Edith Stradford, are all WIDE
awake to the news possibilities OF
a situation. They have also been
outstanding during the past three
years of high school for the in
teresting qualities of their COM
position.
Harold Nelson says that altho
he is much interested in the fea-
ture section as anyone he is deter
mined that the sports section shall
not suffer by contrast. Harold is
a letter man and expects, with luck
attending, to be in the thick Of
every tangle in this falls football
schedule, so we may expect first
hand information. One difficulty
stands in the way of having a
team member write the sports col
umn. He may become q star and at
the same time be too modest to do
himself justice. The editor plans,
if that happens, to turn the writ
ing of the article over to Geneva
Broughton, who is really girls
sports writer, but who could un-
doubtedly handle the rest of the de-
partment, In case Of necessity, pro-
vided she could be persuaded to
calm her enthusiasm down to the
point where it would flow sedately
off the point Of a pen.
eThe team" seems to show up
well in literary pursuits; besides
Harold Nelson in the sports de-
partment, Bill Frazier is In charge
of the humor. Bill was heard to
remark that everyone seems to
think humor is a saving grace in
an embarrassing situation-in 9TH
er words, when the feature col
umn is empty-the last game a
frost" and the editor sick-a-bed
the humorist is supposed to wise
crack through three columns in a
gay and nonchalant manner.

shucks are beginning to show up
brown, but where stalks are still
green and vigorous. A dead stalk,
even though it looks like a case of
natural or early maturity, is likely
to be caused by a non-visible dis
ease. Select from stalks which have
grown in fair competition instead
OF being favored by missing hills
nearby or being in an extra rich
spot. Be careful not to select seed
that has grown near a barren
stalk. Select ears that are borne
up well by strong shank and that
are well covered at the tips. AL
ways select two or three times
more than you need in order to be
able to make final culling after
the corn has dried thoroughly
Extension Service News, w. S. C.
Our observation has been that
too many farmers are not follow
ing the above methods in selecting
seed corn. The time required to go
through the field previous to the
general harvesting, and selecting
ears from the right type of plant
should be an investment worth con-
siderable to the farmer in the way
of increased returns another year.
Most potato growers have come to
the viewpoint that specially-select-
ed seeds must be used and the
same principle must apply to corn
production.

Prosser community brought up the
question to the county agent re-
Gently as to how perennial weeds
could be controlled on property
that the owner was not taking
care of. This question was taken
up with George o Beardsley, pros
ecuting attorney for the county
and the following letter received:
Replying to your letter under
date Of September 81, with refer
ence to the control of weeds, will
say that our law provides two
methods which control the same.
One method is by the formation of
a weed district which was probably
done in Grays Harbor county. That
method, however, I believe, is cum
bersome and causes unnecessary
expense. The other method pro-
vides that it shall be the duty of
the road supervisor to file with the
Prosecuting attorney = list Of lards

noxious weeds may be growing.
giving the description of the kind
and character Of the weeds, togeth-
er with q statement Of the approx

must be destroyed in order co pre-
vent their going to seed. The Pros
ecuting attorney then demands OF

the owners, lessees, mortgages
and occupants of the land effected,

dence and thereupon serves a no.

ious weeds under this act include
Canadian thistle, Russian thistle,
Jim Hill mustard, Cocklebur and
all other weeds liable to become
a pest and which may be certified
as being noxious by the botanist
of the university or college.
If it is your desire to proceed in
this manner to abate any such
nuisonce, Kindly feel free to call
upon me and l will be glad give
you any assistance possible.
George. O. Beardsley, Prescott

There is no question but what a
botanist of either the State college
or the University would state that
either Siberian mustard, star this
tie, perennial night shade, morning
glory and quack grass is a nox-
lous weed. A number of farmers
throughout the county have raised
this question in regard to definite
control measures and because of |
this, we would suggest that farm
ers of the county having these
weeds take steps this year to con-
srol them.
We do not believe it wise to take
steps this year to force the con-
troll of weeds until farmers have
had plenty Of opportunity without
taking too long to establish con-
;rol measures themselves, but do
suggest that farmers become con-
versant with the situation and the
aw so that no trouble may arise
