this is done, until the material has
completely dried. If hung in a
dark room, the color will not bleech
from the leaves and the exhibit
will have much better attractive
appearance when placed on exhib-
it at Fair time.
We have seen some very good
grain in various sections of the
country and the dry land sections
should have some very nice mater
ial for exhibition this year. We
trust that more farmers will make
la special attempt to exhibit thes'
products at the fair this fall.

SUMMER RABBIT POISONING

very llCCle damage mas Deen Ie-
ported so far from rabbit injury
this summer. The large amount of
rabbit control work done last win
teri with the severe winter, seems
to have decreased the number of
rabbits very materially. In case
rabbits should become numerous
about any particular farm, we
would recommend very strongly the
use of the same formulas we rec
commended last year, and from
which very good results were Sc
cured.
1t is necessary to use care in the
placing Of the bait. Small handfuls
of the coated alfalfa should be
dropped along the rabbit trails, at
Intersections. Make two lines of
bats, at least one hundred yards
from the crop and one hundred
yards apart. It is rather better to
expose the poisoned salt along the
edges of the damaged crop, accord
ing to the numbers and activity Of
the rabbits.
Bats should be distributed be-
tween two and five o'clock, SO as
to avoid disturbing the rabbits at
their feeding time. Batting should
be renewed once in four days, in
accordance with observations made
at dusk of the number of rabbits.
The Biological Survey and Ex-
tension Service are cooperating in
this work and poison supplies can
be secured from E. C. Durdle, coun-
ty agent, Kennewick.
Summer rabbit poisoning is for
protection only, and efforts should
be directed toward wholesale COM
munity campaigns at favorable
periods during the winter months,
Poisoned salt formula: In
some localities poisoned salt has
given good results during the sum-
mer months. Add or. powdered
strychnine alkaloid to Is OF. table
salt and stir until evenly mixed
The poisoned salt mixture should
be exposed in inch auger holes
bored in 2 x 4 blocks cut into gin
lengths. The holes should be bored
to the depth of / 1-2 inches and
filled with the preparation. The
blocks may be placed in CONSPICUOUS
locations along trails with compar-
alive safety to livestock. Jar lids
may also be used, but they must
not be placed in fields accessible to
livestock. The lids can be spiked
to the ground with long nails, 0,
nailed to blocks, SO that the rab-
bits cannot upset them. All lids OF
blocks should be picked up after
poisoning operations are concluded.
i Due to the presence of salt icks
and alkali deposits in certain To-
calities, it is advisable to prebait
for a few days with imprisoned
salt, to determine whether rabbits
will eat it.
Fresh alfalfa formula: Mix
/ OF. strychnine alkaloid powdered
I with 1-8 OF. Il tsp.) saccharine.
Prepare 3-qt. solution consisting
of 1 part Karo syrup and 2 quarts
water. Add the poison mixture to
this thoroughly In 12-quart pail.
Cut about 20 pounds fresh alfalfa
tops. Take few handfuls of the
alfalfa at time and dip in the
Doison solution. stir around and

INDEPENDENCE, Kan, June II.
The story Of David Sterling, has
convinced county authorities that
Elmer Gales, young farmer, did not
kill Miss Marguerite White, pretty
nurse, for whose murder he has
been held since Thursday.
Sterling, 20-year-old friend Of
Gales, was sitting in his car in
front Of his home, about 200 yards
from where Miss White, 20-year- old
student nurse of Caney, Kan, was
shot to death.
According to his story, Sterling
had returned home from the theater
at Caney, and was preparing to fol-
low his parents into the house, when
he heard a shot
He turned out the headlights Of
his car and sat still.
A second later, he said, he saw the
lights Of another motorcar flicker
of and a short distance down the
road.
Later that motorcar, parked near
where the report of the shot came
from, speeded away toward Caney.
David believed nothing unusual
had occurred. he said, and he went
to bed.
Saturday he attended the cor

Commissioner Calvin Mcintosh Of

of how utility figures are used as
commission figures at public hear
ings.
Wenger had taken the witness

of preferred stock.
The commission engineering chief
had to make trip to Muncie and

testified. He had table Of figures
to show the result of these inyesti-

Where did you get those

they came from the company's
books.
"Is that the way the commission
engineering department functions?"
Mcintosh inquired.
That is the customary practice" !"
Wenger asserted.
