Root WeeviI Bait
Formula Given
By County Agent E. C. Durdle

For several years the commercial GO
West" bait has been the bait most
commonly used for strawberry root
Weevil. This bait can be secured through
the cooperative concerns handling
strawberries. This bait is made up OF
apple chop with some arsenical poison,
the Weevil being attracted to the bait
apparently because of the sugar con-
tent of the dried apple chop, although
there may also be some other material
used to attract. Those having Weevil
this year may make use of this bait.
The Oregon experiment station founa
that bran bait was also effective in
the control of the weevil. The follow
ing formula was the one tried and
slightly better results were obtained
from the use of this bait than from
anything else used:
Five pounds bran; pints molasses,
or pounds sugar; 4 ounces calcium
arsenate; 2 quarts water.
The dry ingredients should be mixed
together thoroughly first and then the
molasses thinned with the water and
the whole mixture mixed up Calcium
arsenate has been proven to be quite
a little more effective than lead ar
senate.

Close Game Won
By Local Team

In the closest and hardest fought
game so far this season, the White
Bluffs ball club continued it's unbroken
string of victories when it took the
Vale club into camp on the home
grounds last Sunday by a score of
2 to 0. And the game was just as close
as the score indicates.
Joe Wagner in the box for the home
club, turned in another we'll pitched
game, holding the opposition to 6 hits.
Vale used two pitchers. Reader, who
started was given instructions to use
everything he had. And he did. When
he began to tire about the middle of
the game, he was replaced by Sargent,
who was just about as good.
White Bluffs scored It's first run in
the fourth inning when Joe Wagner
reached first on long single and went
all the way around when the Vale
fielder lost the ball in the grass out
near the flag pole in right field. The
second run was scored in the sixth.
With White Bluffs runner on thiro,
a ground hit ball was fielded by the
Vale pitcher who elected to try for
the out at first and the runner on
third scored on the play.
Several of the home fans swallowed
their gum and others had near heart
failure in the ninth inning when Vale
filled the bases with none out. One
man was retired on a forceout at the
plate on ground hit ball to third,
the next man went out on strikes and
the third out was made on a high
fly that was captured by Gil Walker
on first. And everybody heaved sigh
of relief.
In the score book, Paschen is cred
tied with a two base hit and Ralston
with a triple.
The game last Sunday, incidentally,
was the last game under the schedule
to be played on the White Bluffs
grounds.
Next Sunday White Bluffs will tangle
with Hanford on the Hanford grounds.
This should be another good contest
for Hanford has been playing good ball
and has captured all~of it's games since
it dropped the opener to White Bluffs
by score of 7 to 1.

POUR WINE FOR US: a Novel. By Dean Van
Clute. In collaboration with Walton Van
Clutc. New York: Frederick A. Stokes Co.
THE story of Pete Holland, of Peter and his
family. Father and mother, brothers and
sisters. Going back to his first recollections.
Peter moves forward in the very tracks of his
first trip through the years. An average family
of Northern New York, in general quality and
behavior different from other such groups
roundabout. And Peter was neither above nor
below the other members of that household.
His accounting has nothing of special good for
tune, or bad, TO command attention, to enlist
interest. Here, from boys point of view, is
the drowsy run of farm life. Spring planting.
Autumn harvesting Snowy, shut-in Winters.
A move to the village of Potsdam brightens
the family scenery bit. Church work for the
elders, school for the children. Peter develops
a sudden liking for the girls all girls, and
comes into a passion of zeal over base ball.
All boy, you see. 1t is plain by this time that
here might be the dinral account of any one
of two-thirds of the families of any ones ac-
quaintance. And there is effort to lift the
plain facts of the situation even up to the edge
Df story or romance Not move toward col
oring it with hues of beauty or charm. The
family simply gets along in the fashion of its
lind. And Peter is like the rest of them When
his time comes he marries one of the girls of
his earlier love The wife has baby. 1t dies.
So does the wife. And that's all.
Here is a ploddingly faithful account Of the
Hollands Well what about it? Nothing.
Save, uneventful it all is, Peter realizes that
this all this, has been his schooling. Now, the
most Of us miss that point. Miss the fact that
we are being schooled, not by the years as
they come and go.
Peter Holland, Dean Van Cute by real name,
is, today, charity patient in hospital He Is
blind. He cannot move a muscle. He can
SPEAK And that is all No, he is not making
premature payment to his Maker for some for
hidden sin. Simply attacked by disease that
might come to any one.
His brother Walton Van Clute, has taken
down the words of Dean Van Clute. And these
words have made Pour Wine for Us
What triumph that man is! Curse God
and Die? Not on your life Not this man,
not Dean Van Clute. the greatest one we ere
likely to meet in q thousand years!
