Tin: country boy's citi:i:i
(From Farm Bureau News)
I believe that the Country which
God made is more beautiful than the
City which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the earth
is tho natural life of man. I be
lieve that work is work wherever I
find it, but that work with Nature is
more Inspiring than work with the
most intricate machinery. I believe
that the dignity of labor depends not
on what you do, but on how you do
it; that opportunity comes to a boy
on the farm as often as to u boy in
the city; that lire is larger and freer
and happier on tho faun than in
town; thnt my success depends not
upon my location, but upon myself
not upon my dreams, but upon what
I actually do -not upon luck but
upon pluck. 1 hellevo in working
when you work, and In phutng when
you play, and in giving anil demand
ing a square deal In every act of
life. Edwin Osgood Grovcr.

(From Farm Bureau News)
C. R. Young,
County Agricultural Agent,
Dakota City, Nebraska.
Dear Mr. Young:
Writing a few lines on pocket go
phers, rats and kindred pests, their
likes and disiyes, their habits, their
friends, and their enemies isn't so
easy. It is, everything considered, n
mighty big subject, and we don't
know it all by any means. However,
we do know enough concerningsthein
to keep their numbers down if wo
only would.
Take Mr. Pocket Gopher for in
stance, that mound building, alfalfa
killer, we are his best friend. Wo
plant alfalfa fields for him to live in,
We are the sworn enemies of his
enemies, the bull snake that wants
only to bo left alone, the sharp-eyed
wjoascl, tho little civit cat and the
striped skunk that would neveuthink
of chicken if the chicken huuse doors
were shut, the sleepy owl that perches
asleep in a tree top is such an easy
shot, a nice target for thoughtless
humanity, pocket gopher is his fa
vorite food.
Still we need the alfalfa for our
horses and cows, but that isn't rea
son, is it, that we should let the
pocket gopher appropriate the fields
till the alfalfa literally "Aint no'
more?" It is so easy to poison those
gophers and the work can be done at
odd times when other work does not
press. I'll venture to say that you
keep on hand at all times instruc
tions as to methods of poisoning and
the poison, too, for that matter. And
I am sure that the Extension Service
of the State College would be glad
to send a specialist to help you put
across a campaign if the farmers
would ask through you for aid. And
then when the gophers are few and
hard to poison, I know the younger
boys would like to try their hands
with traps, especially if dad would
give 'em a small bounty for each go
pher caught. It doesn't take much
cash to make a small boy feel rich
and contented.
But of course, and I think you will
agree with me, we can't get very far
in gopher eradication work if wo
don't have co-operation among the
farmers of the whole community.
That is tho only way we can get any
where. Even at that not a few
farmers find that it pays to keep the
gopheis out of their alfalfa. By this
means they get as much hay off eight
acres as they used to get oil" ten, be
sides saving time, lubor and cuss
words. I know of one farmer who
gives the two acres he thus saves, to
his boys for their corn chin work,' it
seems to mo that is true co-operation
between father and sons, and those
boys are sure proud of that dad of
theirs.
But I'm oir my subject any how it
is about time to close, however I do
want to write a few more words
about rats. They're wise birds, they
haven't associated with rich men and
poor men, city men and farmers for
the last ten thousand years for noth
ing. When food is laying around
everywhere very few rats will fall
for traps or poisons. But when food
is scarce It's quite easy for 'em, thoy
iro just like hungry people, IheynuiHt
eat. Well fed rats believe in huge
families at short inteivals. So keen
ing food away from them is. the ienlt
joii, on me larm, ponce rat proofing
is the best means of controlling this
pest.
Very truly yours,
WALTER 0, PERRY.
