A New Oregon Booklet 

 "Oregon for the Settler" is the name 

 of a very handsome booklet issued by 

 the Southern Pacific Railway. It is 

 beautifully printed and handsomely 

 illustrated and contains a wonderful 

 amount of interesting reading matter 

 about the possibilities of Oregon as a 

 state for the diversified farmer. On 

 the front page is a ])aragraph as fol- 

 lows: "One of the big things about the 

 1915 Panama-Pacific International Ex- 

 position at San Francisco is the oppor- 

 tunity to visit Oregon." The distribu- 

 tion of this book ought to be a big 

 factor in persuading many Easterners 

 who will visit the Exposition to make 

 the trip through the Northwest and 

 visit the State of Oregon, and we might 

 add, the Northwest in general needs 

 more dairymen, more men to raise 

 hogs, poultry — more general farmers. 

 At the present time Oregon produces 

 less than .50 per cent of the butter, eggs 

 and meats that are consumed by the 

 people in the state. A man who be- 

 comes a farmer can profit by this splen- 

 did opportunity of securing home mar- 

 kets for his products at S])lendid prices. 

 If you want to investigate Oregon 

 opportunities, to find out where to 

 establish a good home and make a good 

 living, write Mr. John M. Scott, gen- 

 eral passenger agent, Portland, Oregon, 

 or Mr. Chas. S. Fee, tralfic manager, 

 San Francisco, California. 



Time and experience have fully demon- 

 sti-ated the futility of virus as a rodent ex- 

 terminator, particularly squirrels, gopher and 

 mice pests. Nearly all forms of poison have 

 given way to strychnine, and for this pur- 

 pose there is nothing better than a strych- 

 nine-coated wheat. The cupidity of manu- 

 facturers has, in many cases, led them to 

 diminish the amount of poison below the 

 safety point, with the result that it has 

 proven worthless in use. Disappointment has 

 also arisen through improper coating. Farm- 

 ers today are depending more and more on 

 the well-tried, tested brands of coated wheat 

 for the destruction of squirrels and gophers. 

 No stock, fruit, grain or alfalfa grower 

 should jeopardize his crop by failure to act 

 promptly this season. These rodents are now 

 asleep; soon, with the warm sun's rays, their 

 whistle will be heard, and this is the psycho- 

 logical moment to sprinkle the poisoned 

 wheat. A few grains in the early morning, 

 dropped down each burrow, will turn the 

 trick. The long fast makes the creatures 

 ravenous and the poison is immediately effec- 

 tive. Fields have been shown where thou- 

 sands of these rodents have been destroyed in 

 twenty-four hours by this method. [Adv.]
