IN case SO10S Oh you IS0OSIS al =
interested in building something
for farm or home it might be in
order to suggest that the agricul-
tural engineering department and
the Extension Service has a lot
Of plans and drawing for various
equipment which can be built 1t
home or in q farm shop. Among
the most recent plans have been q
tractor cab tractor and combine
level grain elevator conveyers.
All Of these plans and others may
be secured at the County Agents
office.
\ Your County Agent accompan-
led by John Smith and Ed Ray
attended very instructive tour
in Yakima County at the Sum-
mer Tour Of the Horticultural
Association. Various types Of
flower sprayers were demonstrate
ed. Effects of use of zinc sui
phate for rosette control was
studied. Soil and management
problems were observed. Tree
spacing was demonstrated. Many
Of the problems Of sprays disease
control, fertilizer and weed con-
troll in orchards were discussed.
In future years, many more grow

ENGLISH SPARRoWS
With English sparrows stealing
your grain and costing you plen-
ty in period Of a year, you may
be one Of the large number Of
persons who have written to Da-
vid II. Brannon, Washington Ex-
tension entomologist, asking for
tips on how to control these pests.
Says Brannon, you can trap
them or shoot them-but the cas-
lest, surest way is to poison them.
Sparrows are smart birds and
you'll have to use strategy. First,
give them wheat which has not
been treated with poison, until
they are in the habit of eating
in q certain location at a certain
time Of day. Then substitute poi
soned wheat in place of the UNI
treated grain.
The grain should be left in such
roofs Of poultry houses and back
places as enclosed poultry runs,
yards. You don't wish to endan-
ger the beneficial species of birds.
So, train the sparrows to flock
to these places and the other birds
will keep away. Since the spar
rows, are quick to detect danger
and to associate their misfortunes
with the areas where the poison
bait Is spread, it is well to re-
serve a number Of places in which
the poisoning may be done.
Here's how to prepare the bait.
Mix one eighth ounce Of pulyoe.
lied strychnine alkaloid with one
and one-half teaspoons Of starch
or wheat flower, and moisten
with sufficient cold water to make
q paste Of the constance Of thick
cream. Three-fourths Of q gill
OF boiling water should then be
added and the mixture stirred to
make q clear, smooth paste. It
may be necessary to heat the mix
ture to get the proper results. The
paste should then be poured. over
a quart Of clean, small kerneled
wheat and the whole mixed in q
two-quart jar until the poisoned
paste is thoroughly distributed.
The bait should then be spread
out thinly and allowed to dry
thoroughly.

County Patients Placed
In Hdrdin General
Hospital Here

With the closing of the Har-
din community hospital last
week, Hardin found itself with
out adequate disqualification.
The hospital was closed be-
cause the building was in SER
iouS disrepair and nursing and
other help could not be obtained
The county medical patients
were left without a place to go.
They were placed temporarily
in the Hardin General hospital,
but it was pointed out by
County Attorney Bert w. Kron-
miller that state laws require
that registered nurses must be
In charge of the care of county
patients.
Kronmiller queried Attorney
General r.. v. Bottomly on the
question of whether Big Horn
county could build or buy a
hospital. MIR. Bottomly, whose
opinion is quoted in full on an
other page of this issue of the
Tribune Herald, stated that the
county commissioners could buy
a building and equip it as a
hospital, but that such a hos
pital could not be opened to the
general public, but could be
used only for county patients
under the existing statutes.
A movement has been under
way for some time to secure
funds to build a new hospital
here, but to date little progress
has been made. Those in charge
of the campaign said they
hoped the seriousness of the
present situation would awaken
the community to the need for
adequate disqualification, mot
only for Hardin, but for the
surrounding territory as well.
