HAvRE DE GRACE, Md, June "a
Yelled with the strictest secrecy and the
darkness of night two bodies were ex-
humed here shortly after midnight in
the investigation Of the case Of Mrs.
Hattie v. Stone, accused of the murder
of her 15-year-old son, George.
The graves opened were those Of the
husband of Mrs. Stone and her Oldest
son, Edgar, both of whom also died
under mysterious circumstances. The
elimination was so arranged as TO
avoid the eyes Of the curious and the
entire town was asleep when the work
was carried on.
The bodies were removed to Q local
undertaking establishment where au-
topsies will be performed. The vicera
later will be sent to Baltimore chemists
for analysis to determine whether the
persons died from poisoning, as the au-
thorities suspect They died from con-
vulsions of extreme nausea.

Stone, mother-in-law of Mrs. Stone, her

Poison the Pocket Gopher

Poisoning the pocket gopher is
the most efficient method of con-
troll for this pest Of orchard ana
field. Poisoning can be done quite
readily during October and Novem-
Der. Where pocket gophers are
rather numerous in orchards, it is
well to break down or disc in all
growth of weeds or cover crop i'm
mediately after the harvesting Of
the crop. Any workings Of the
pocket gopher can readily be seen
and the runway located readily
with a prod. In the alfalfa field
following the third and fourth cut
ting, there should be no trouble in
locating new workings and rum
ways.
A prod of 3-4 inch pipe can be
made for about 81, and will last a
life time and is an easy way of
opening up runways for the dis
tribution Of bats. One can use an
old broom handle or any strong
stick about this size sharpening it
to blunt point, but it viii not

farmer whose barn was endangered
by small blaze and who put off
fighting the blaze until it had
more of a start? 1t would seem
tnat the farmer wha knows that he
has one of the perennial weed pest
on nus farm that can now be con-
trolled with the chlorate sprays,
ana who puts off until another
year measures for control, is tax
ing the same chance as the man
who fails to extinguish a fire dis
covered about his farm building.
Considerable work has been done
IN the state with the chlorate
sprays, and recent conversations
with agents who have used the
sprays much more than they have
been used In this county, because
OF the fact that the perennial weed
problem is a much greater one in
that they cover a much greater
area, have brought out the infor-
nation that where weeds have
been treated with the chlorate, the
seedlings starting the following
season soon die. We doubt if there
is. any better way to control the
million of seedlings which are
bound to be produced Immediately
surrounding the patches of these
perennial weeds than the use of
the chlorate of the weed patches
itself, in this way not only killing
the larger percentage of the plants
In the patch itself, but also the
seedlings which would come on lat
er.

can get an idea of the depth and
length of body which the good
birds should have by examining 8
or 10 birds in the flock. From this
number one will be sure to pick
out some good birds and thus get
an idea of the body measurements
OF the heavy producer as compar-
ed to the poor birds of the flock.
During especially warm days,
one should see that the house is
well ventilated, keeping it just as
cool as possible for the birds and
thus assist in keeping them active,
A light grain feed in the morning
is one of the biggest helps toward
maintaining activity throughou,
the day.

VALE HOST TO POMONA

Benton County Pomona Grange
met with the Vale Grange last
week for an important but not
too well attended meeting. Master
McBee opened the Grange with six
other regular officers present. Con-
siderable business was taken care
of during the afternoon session. At
five o'clock a recess was called
for supper hour. The Vale Grange
had expected large attendance
and had arranged for about 200 at
dinner in the evening, but only ap-
proximately so or 60 were present
outside of members from the Vale
community. The lecturers hour
program for the evening was an
enjoyable affair and was followed
by a brief business session.
During, the afternoon session
discussion conferred around the
State Grange meeting and the
meeting being arranged Tor In the
state to take care of increase in
membership. A meeting of Pomona
masters of the Yakima valley had
been held at Sunnyside at which
E. 81. McBee, Pomona Master for
Benton county, had been selected
chairman. Arrangements are be-
ing made for a meeting at Sunny
side some time in October or early
November at which time special
legree team will be available to
give the 7th degree. At this meet
ing Benton county is to furnish a
drill team for the 5th degree and
it was arranged that the Vale de-

a foot rest upon it. The directions
for the making of the prod made
from pipe will be gladly furnished
to any one interested in it.
The best bats for the poisoning
of the pocket gopher seem to be
carrots and sweet potatoes with
parsnips as a third choice. The
bats used should be pared first
so as to make fresh cut surface
to which the poison will stick, and
then diced into pieces about 3-8
OF an inch square and an inch or
SO long. These are put into buck
ct and sprinkled with a strychnina
and saacharine mixture in the pro-
portions of 1 OF. of strychnine to
1-8 OF. saccharine. Only alkaloid
strychnine should be used as if is
much more efficient as a rodent
poison. Shaker cans with the poi-
Son mixed up in the above pro-
portions can be obtained through
the county agents office by those
interested in its use.
The runways are located with
the prod and then usually, two of
the bats are dropped into the
place where the runway is located,
using one of the carrots or one of
sweet potato. The hole is then COW
cred with leaves or trash of any
kind and the pocket gopher in trav-
cling thru the runway will locate
the bate and feed upon it immed-
lately or carry it to the winter
storage. In this way one is almost
sure to almost completely rid the
field OF this pest. Farmers of Ben
ton county using this method of
control last year were very well
satisfied with results.

Other arrangements include tne use
of the male quartet from the Wmt-
stran Grange to assist with the
music for the 9Th degree. Definite
arrangements have not been made
for a good many of the details OF
this meeting and these will be I'M
doubtedly announced very deflnlte-
" at the Octobed meeting.
From the Wenatchee district mad
come the suggestion that every
Granger at the National Grange
no provided with apples from the
Yakima or Wenatchee district and
is was estimated that 400 boxes OF
apples would be needed to do this.
McBee suggested that the indivil-
ual oranges take steps to solicit
these apples from members since
the state Grange is not in a finan-
cial position to purchase these. The
Oranges will hear more of this a
little later. The Yakima Grange
council is to meet at Sunnyslde on
October z, and Pomona officers OF
this county and any Changers IN
terested were invited to meet with
the council at that time.

MILLIONS OF SEEDS

Literally millions of seeds will
be produced on the perennial weed
patches already found in Benton
county. What of the possibilities of
tie spread of these weeds from
this source? We have seen patches
OF Siberian mustard which have
spread from three to four feet
across to a six or eight square rod
patch in one season; patches of
morning glory of few rods in ex-
tent which have spread to cover
an acre or more; and other weeds
where cultivated through or al
lowed to go to seed will spread
just as rapidly:
What would you think of the
