city is not being overlooked politically.
Quite the contrary Political gazing with longing,

According to stories published while the true the
country voting Tuesday and while Westinghouse were
spending the day wondering what ballot looks like the poll
ticians WERE LAYING PLANS TO ANNEX ABOUT FORTY
OF THE BEST JOBS IN THE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT

The iron ball is about to roll for many of those who have
served city with ability and fidelity for most Of their lives
and in their places will find and who have

the District of Columbia has gained advantage from

We have the snake skin all
mounted and on exhibit in the
window this time, as it has
been returned from the tan
ers. It was brought in for ex-
hibit by Bob Williams fond
father and then taken to be
tanned and mounted, and
ready for the window as soon
as the story was in print, lat
er to be sent on to Bob at w.
S. C. The story was written
and went to press, and mean
while Mr.. Williams came down
with the lowly measles and was
too ill to be disturbed, and our
story was being read, and
everybody "guying" the news
staff about our window minus
the rattler, and no one knew
where to locate the said rat
tier.
The rattlesnake was captur-
ed by Bob Williams, last
month in the Horse Heaven
hills, and measured so inches
after the head and rattles had
been removed. There were Id
rattles and a button and the
next day he and Joe Siegfried,
who We're on the wheat sur
vey control, captured one that
had Is rattles. Many rattle
snakes have been seen and kill
ed in the hills this summer by
the boys working on the wheat
control survey, but these are
the largest snakes captured so
far reported.

maturing weed seeds can be des-
troyed. Every effort should be
made to destroy small weed patches
just getting a footing. Even one
years neglect may result in a ser
ious weed problem and force land
out of cultivation. Larger weed
patches can only be eradicated thru
persistent effort.
Two salts, sodium and calcium
chlorate are recommended for the
chemical treatment Of weeds.
These CELEBRATES may be used as a
spray, one pound of salt to one
gallon of water on larger patches
or as a dust on smaller patches.
They are most effectively applied
when the plant and ground are
damp, as CELEBRATES act through the
soil as we'll as the plant. Two or
three pounds will usually cover a
square rod, either as a spray or
dust. AS the dust or dried par
ticles from the spray are highly
inflammable, extreme care must
be exercised in their use.
Weed patches should be moved
and destroyed before the seed ma
lures whenever possible. Heavily
infested fields can easily be now
ed, raked and the weeds burned
before winter sets in.

are in fair condition. and a normal
amount of pasture is found in the
irrigated valleys. A surplus of hay
in many sections would provide
feed for a large number of cattle
for q temporary feeding period.
Eastern Washington will be able
to feed the largest number of tho
drouth cattle because stubble fields
give promise of providing more
pasture than for some years and
there is a surplus Of wheat hay in
most counties. Severe SCATTERING
of wheat during harvest, followed
by early fall rains will supply ex-
tended temporary pasture through
out this area.
Some drouth cattle are already
moving into several Western Wash
ington counties and the movement
should rapidly increase until the
quota is reached.

ice director. While only 10000
head of drouth cattle, as yet, have
been allotted to the state by the
federal government, this number
may be increased If the forage sit
uation in the middle west remains
serious.
Surveys made by county agri-
cultural agents in western Wash
ington counties show that pastures
are about normal with the hay
crop above normal in nearly every
section. There is a possibility of
using some cut-over land for graz
ing and some surplus feed being
produced in the irrigated sections.
Condition of the higher ranges
in central Washington due to the
absence Of snow has been below
normal most Of the past summer,
with some improvement coming
with fall rains. The lower ranges.

Washington farmers can save
thousands of dollars this fall by
cleaning up weed patches along
bitches and on idle land, summer
roads, fence rows, irrigation
fallow and harvest fields, declares
Leonard Hegnauer, state college
extension agronomist. Reduced
yields through moisture and plant
food losses, contamination of
grain and hay crops and cultiva-
ton problems are only a few of
the ways the farmers income is
drained by weed pests.
Fall is the ideal time to attack
the weed problem because the cool
temperature and favorable mois-
ture supply in the soil make chem

if an invitation addressed in

friend, or would the person
sending the invitation make a
special note on the invitation II
he were invited?
An invitation addressed like
this would not include a boy
friend. But I am sure that, IT
you wish to have the boy friend
invited, and will write or tele-
phone the brides mother, she
will be happy to send him an
invitation, provided her num-
ber of guests need not be
limited for some reason.
