of the researches of the Government. After
years of untiring experiment and investigation^
the Government, through the Department of Agricul

remarkable Durum wheat through which our produc
tion has been increased fully twenty-five per cent.
This has been only ono of many surprising but little
known accomplishments of the Government, which
are covered in the interesting series of stories for
which we have the exclusive right of distribution in

The Holt County Crow Extermina
tion Association made an official visit
to the L. W. Arnold ranch twenty
miles north, last Sunday and as a
result there are two hundred less
trows in that locality. The boys say
that hundreds of eggs were destyeo
ilso. Those who were out Sunday say
that there are no song birds in that
part of the country, not a song bird
was seen during the hunt which is an
indication that the crows have de
stroyed their nests and killed the
young ones until the songsters are
About extinct. The Association are
asking the farmers to help get rid of
:he crows by destroying their nests
low. Each farmer can destroy a few
nests during the hatching season each
year which will greatly reduce the
number of crows.
