don't allow chicks or poults to get
wet. Poults and chicks that do gel
wet die easily from piling up,
chilling or resulting disease.
2. Keep open type feeders on
range under some kind of shelter.
The pullet will feed better from
them during rainy weather and on
hot days. A movable shelter
built on skids is very good.
3. Burn or bury all dead chick
en- carcasses. Cats and dogs drag
carcasses around which may be
sources Of disease. Rats feed on
dead chickens too and may carry
poultry diseases.
4. Take the wife for walk
out to the poultry range at least
two or three times week. She
may spot trouble you have been
overlooking. II she does, give her
the last word.

Check for Mice
In Wheat Fields

Wheat growers in the Horse
Heaven and Rattleenake areas
should inspect their fields for mice
population.
John Finley of the Fish & Wild
Life service has recently made an
inspection Of Eastern and Central
Washington counties to determine
the mice population in the area.
In his visit to the County Agents
Office this week he made the state
ment that there were more field
mice In the area than he had seen
any time in the last twenty years
and that he estimated that It
might cause a reduction in yield
Of from three to five bushels of
wheat per acre.
Upon questioning, he outlined
the following program for con-
troll:
The farmer should make an
examination to see how far the
mice have worked into the green
wheat fields from the stubble
fields. II the farmer can then
drive a pickup along the line to|
where the mice have penetrated,
he can spread poison oats in the
tracks where the mice can easily |
come In contact with them.
Finley estimated that 10 pounds
Of poison oats would be sufficient |
to spread In the two tracks for
about quarter Of a mile. This
will give the farmer an estimate
as to the amount Of poison oats
they may need.
It is hoped to have a supply Of |
poison oats In both the Prosseri
and Kennewick Extension ohlces
BY the first Of the week.

With the modern high speed auto
mobile it is extremely important
that the frame be constructed in
such a manner so that full control
viii be possible at high speeds and
vibrations of the engine reduced to
a minimum. 1t is to the frame that
are fastened all the important com
ponents of the car such as engine,
Transmission, axle, springs differen-
tial etc. Due to the inequalities Of
the road surface there is a con-
siderable tendency to distort the
frame, which would place strain
on both the engine and the body.
To overcome this automobile de-
signers have developed such things
as floating aXles, that is axles that
are hung to the frame by springs
and rise and fall without disturb
ing the frame. The engines are
mounted on rubber mounts to cut
down vibration, causing your car to
last longer and ride easier. That
is why it is so important to have
your chassis looked after and greas-
ed often.-CLACK'S SERVICE, L.

the proposed Libby dam construc-

Ferry, it will meet with heartieT
welcome from the host city than it
did last week in Libby. AS one bus
inessman remarked:
If Spokane and Idaho are so
damned interested in Lincoln

de more favorable response from
Lincoln County people if they
would show more interest in OBJ
tanning the completion of U. S. 2

Yes, Spokane wants our possible
hydroelectric power, and Idaho
wishes US to furnish floC5 control.
The funny thing about flood con-
troll and hydroelectric supply is,
that all the real authorities (the
''brass hats" of course not includ-
ed contend that proper flood con-
troll and worthwhile hyGroelectric
production cannot be supplied by
any one dam. Had such been the
case, the disastrous flood on the
lower Columbia would not have
occurred a few weeks ago. As near
as we can observe the authorities
decided that the situation demand

flood protection to the thousands
of inhabitants down stream who
lost their homes and in many cases
their lives because using the Col
