this much Is sure:
The Giants have the best pitch

dangerous infield to other clubs.
They have a better outfield than
they had. Their catching staff Is no
worse. 1t may be better.
They were very close to the st.
Louis club at the end Of last season.
They are better than they were a
year ago. At the same time, the
Cubs are also better than they were.

better. The Waners are poisoning

The most surprising thing about

No loyal supporter Of the Ma

however. One reason is that the
scribes in question may change their
views before the season ever gets
under way-one of them already
has-and another is that they don't

Just prior to the 1924 season the

TIM ELY
FARM TOPICS
b. the
County Agricultural Agent

Every fruit grower is familiar with
the work Of field mice in orchards,
yet all orehardists do not protect their
trees from the ravages Of mice. In
jury occurs every year in some or
chards, but generally little damage or
no damage for a number Of years will
be followed by a year Of severe injury.
During the mouse year of l919-20
nearly three per cent Of the fruit trees
OF the State III Connecticut were
girdled by mice, a loss Of about half
a million dollars. In some cases 60 10
- per cent Of the trees were injured.
This year may be another mouse year!
There are two kinds of mice in
Connecticut orchards. The meadow
mouse is the eommoner, its runways
being found in the surface vegetation
and its injury being from the ground
up upon the tree trunk. The pine
mouse makes It's burrows four TO six
inches in the ground and eats the roots
and trunk of the tree below the
ground. Pine mouse injury is not APP
parent until the tree starts 10 die the
next summer and then Il may be too
Ahtf ~ " tAEt tt4A ltNfHs
The control Of meadow mice by the
use Of clean cultivation and mechan-
zeal protectors is fairly satisfactory.
To control the pine mouse the poison
station is the only known way. A
ready-mixed bait prepared by the
Government is being made available
70 Connecticut orchardists this year
and you may protect your orchard
from field mice for approximately
twelve cents per acrel
This poisoned bait is to be distri-
buted through the Farm Bureaus in
the state and will probably come in
twenty-five pound sacks at approx
mately twelve cents per pound. The
bait is strychnine- paraffin- ecatcd
steam crushed oats and is prepared in
the Government Laboratory in Idaho.
Some of the important points about it
are:
l. More attractive to the mice
than rolled oats or wheat.
2. Uniformly mixed, ready to use.
3. Cheaper than if mixed at home.
4. One pound is approximately
one quart, sufficient to protect from
thirty 10 fifty trees. depending on the
degree of infestation.

Their information about this poison
bait and to procure it may do so by

THE ORIGIN
OF LABOR DAY
Forty-Two Years a Legal Holt
day.--Name Had Its Begin
ming During Labor Parade
In New York, 1882
t.hor Day Is But Forty-Two Years
Old

II is a queer name for holiday.
!, was made legal holiday By state
Law Oregon first made it a legal
halliday. February 81, 1887; Colorado.
Naxv Jersey, New York and Massachu-
sstts followed within three months.
The name Labor Day" had its incep-
tion Tuesday, September 5. 1882. La
hor unions were parading in New
York City. In the reviewing stand
we're delegates to a national conven-
tion Of Knights Of Labor, which ma
.ional union has since given way to
he American Federation Of Labor.
During this parade, a Maryland del
agate said 70 one of the officers, This
4 Labor Day in earnest. Uncle Dick p
Later it was called the Labor Day
Parade. The next year a similar par
ade was held on the first Monday in
September.
In 1884 labor unions started a de-
mand in several states for a legal
holiday TO be called Labor Day. II
took three years to win the first five
states. Now the first Monday in
September is a legal holiday in the
United States and in every territory
except the Philippine Islands. Ii is
SO called because the whole day is
set aside to help all Americans think
about the dignity of labor, the rights
OF labor, the duties of labor, and the
needs of labor. 1t didn't start as a
holiday or play day from work; it
started in a desire to advertise our
country's respect for every kind of
labor that helps US to do our bit in
the worlds work-honest, useful, and
efficient labor.
To Help America
Like the Fourth of July, Decoration
Day (now Memorial Day. and Thanks
giving Day, it was originally set aside
To help American citizens remember
cur present advantages and future
duties. Monday was chosen to be the
day for the holiday as il follows Sun
day, the Holy Day and is a day on
which labor begins its weeks work.
This gives us a double holiday--as
would the 2lst of February in most
states if that date had been taken
and both would be play days.
We usually think Of Labor Day as
the end Of our summer vacations
when men, women and children are
getting back 10 physical and mental
work.

How Can it be Done?
Use more feed Provide plenty Of

pulp may be used.
