Sage Rats

We have just received shipment
of poison eats for sage rat con-
troll. This will be distributed in the
very near future to the drug stores
in the county, or grain may be Sc
cured from the extension agent il
those communities where no drug
store handles a supply.
1t is not recommended that pois-
oning begin too early in the spring.
1t is better to wait until prac.i-
cally all of the sage rats have
emerged before beginning the poi
soning program. Past experience
has shown us that a good many
are dissatisfied with results when
they spread the poison bait and
then find in another week that they
have as many as ever. This is due
largely to the fact that new
bunch of rats have made their ap-
pearance after winter Information.
Occasionally we receive COM
plants that the sage rats will no.
eat the poison after things be-
come green. We have used it on
areas at times when we have been
advised that it was almost impos-
sible to get them to eat and have
found that we have had good kill.
We suggest that you follow a care
full program in the use of the
bats and that you use enough to
get all of the sage rats and then
we would question whether there
will be very much dissatisfaction.
Remember that every sage rat kill
ed reasonably early means three or
four gone later on. Do not apply
the poison too early, but neither
should one let it go too late.
March 1st to 18th should give
good results.

Beautifying the Farm Stead

Three communities have asked
for specific assistance in the way
of latern slide lectures and other
suggestion in the way of beautify-
ing the farmstead or home grounds
in the small center. A set of slides
featuring the arrangement of the
shrubs in the yard and the develop
ment of special garden area for
the particular farm or home prop
erty. &
When it is possible to get much
of the material necessary to start
planting about the home from
the Forestry department. at the
State College at very reasonable
figures and when many hometown
ers can start shrubs by making
cuttings of number of varieties,
securing these cuttings in his i'm
mediate community, it seems that
it is largely matter of planning
a little time for this thing and
then giving attention to it. We be-
lieve that the planting should be
arranged so as to be appropriate
for area and yet not SO extensive
as to require considerable work in
taking care of it. This should be
entirely possible for the average
farm of the county and it is right
along this line that help will be
given to the White Bluffs, Han
ford and Walnut Grove commun-
tiles. While it is true that pos
sibly at no time for a period of
years less money has been avail
able for this kind of thing, yet it
is probable that at this time many
people will have little more time
to give to this, and that one can
afford to give time now easier than
previously.
Other communities interested in
this work should take the matter
up either with the Home Demon
stration agent, when meetings can
be arranged.

year egg production will probably
be lighter next fall and winter. As
storage stocks this year will also
be lighter than in 1880, egg prices
should show at least the normal
fall seasonal rise, although they
will probably not reach the high
peaks of recent years.
The western states, the section
which produced the greatest in
crease during the past season,
amounted to approximately 4 IL
percent.

Poultry and Egg Outlook for 1891

Poultry and Egg Outlook for 1881
Although the number of layers
and the production of eggs in 1881
promises to be somewhat less than
in 1880, the prices of eggs during
the first half of the year will be
lower than for the same period in
1880. The demand for eggs for
storage this spring is likely to be
weak, in view of the losses to
storage operators during the past
year. Also, a decrease in egg re-
quirements from hatcheries and a
weaker demand from breaking
plants may be expected. Improve
ment in the price trend for eggs
may be expected, however, for the
last half of the year. In view of
the prospective smaller number of
pullets which will be raised this

appreciative of genuine hospi-

berS of the band except the
bass player and myself were
married, and had brought their
wives along, so I was sometimes
enViouS of them.
Several times I was on the
point of asking Fay to share
my life with me, but each time
I brought myself up sharply
with the thought that we were
still somewhat strangers and
that marriage was not for me
until I had so established my
self that I could really devote
to my choice the attention she
deserved.
BY now. of course. there was
no question of deep affection
for Fay on my part and be-

Conference With U. S. on
Use Of Military Road in Va.

Plans for the development of
the waterfront at RosSlyn, Va,
formulated by the National Park
and Planning Commission, have
not proved satisfactory to Ross
lyn business men, the Arlington
County Board of Supervisors was
informed yesterday.
The special committee of the
RosSlyn Business Mems Associa-

plans, presented a letter at the
meeting of the beard yesterday

such way as to permit a park
way to also be constructed there,
were unsatisfactory. but gave no
reasons for their findings.

man of the committee, said.
The board also voted 20 write
. letter to the Secretary of War

that any action taken by the

obtaining good roads, an object
mutually beneficial.

GOVERNMENT TO
STUDY DATA ON
COLORADO RIVER

WASHINGTON, April 4. up
The state department has an
nounced that the American COM
missioner on the United States
Mexican International Water Com
mission, Lawrence NJ. Lawson, had
been authorized to begin engineer
ing studies of both the lower Rio
Grande and lower Colorado rivers.
The work will be carried out with
$287,0 fund appropriated by the
last congress.
The commission is charged with
recommending bases of agreement
between the United States and
Mexico for dividing water of inter-
national streams.
The state department also re-
yealed it had appointed Colonel S.
F. Crecelius, Texas, as engineer
and Herbert j. S. Deyries, New
Mexico as engineer and counsel, re-
spectively, for the American Sec
ton of the commission. Crecelius
has been city engineer of Ell Paso,
Tex, since 1929. Devries has been
district counsel of the United States
Reclamation Bureau at Ell Paso
since 1926.
Lawson's new assignment envis-
ages preliminary surveys and office
studies of conditions on the lower
Rio Grande. He will give partic-
ular attention to plans for storage
dams and flood control and such
photographic and topographic in
vestigations as will give full un-
derstanding of the availability,
conservation, and use of the water
supply in that region" the depart
ment said.
Studies of the lower Colorado
river will be directed particularly
to determining the effect of the
storage of water at the proposed

Too Much Church
Wife Complains

Her husbands belief that che end
of the world is imminent, and his
alleged constant preaching on the
subject was one of the reasons
given by Nellie K. Hendrickson in
filing suit for divorce yesterday af-
ternoon against Theodore d. Hen
erickson.
Hendrickson is a member of a
church which believed the end OF
the world is coming soon, accord
ing to the complaint, and after their
marriage preached the doctrine so
constantly that Mrs. Hendrickson
was kept in wrought up and nerv-
Gus condition.
Other charges made in the di-
vorce complaint were that Hen
erickson failed to furnish his wife
with clothes, misrepresented his
business statuts before marriage,
drank and abused his wife, and nev-
er at any time furnished her with
a home other than a rented room
in a lodging house.
The couple was married In San
Antonio March 6, 1929.
