Poison Field Mice
To Save The Crops
Field mice damage vine crops, es
pecially in the commercial melon
section, and also various garden
plants, says County Agent P. B.
Ezell. Mice going through ground
mole burrows locate and eat seed,
necessitating replanting frequently
and in many cases reducing the
stands.
Control of mice is obtained by
means of a poison bait and by string
ing the seed out from one foot to
18 inches for each hill. A poison bait
may be made by psing 1-4 ounce of
strychnine sulfate, 1 pint of simple
syrup or cane syrttp, and 1 pint of
water. Handle strychnine with
care, for it is a deadly poison.
Bring to boil, cool, add two or
three saccharine tablets. Use the
poison syrup on old melon, cucum
ber, or cantaloupe seed, grain, pea
nuts, or small cubes of cheese, and
soak overnight. This amount of poi
son syrup should treat six to nine
quarts of bait.

THE NEWHEKKY auN
The distinguished accomplishments of
OUR REGULAR ARMY IN PEACE • • • AS WELL AS
IN WAR • • • ON ARMY DAY, APRIL 6
I
Sgt. Danby, Recruiter, will be at Ex. Bank Building
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday all day
Every American can speak with knowing pride of the magnificent conduct of American
soldiers—at Valley Forge . .. New Orleans ... at San Juan Hill... Verdun and the Argonne
Forest... the Normandy Beaches, Okinawa, Bastogne and Bataan. |
But not every American is as familiar with the remarkable work done by our Regular
Army during peace. The Military Establishment not only carries out the commitments of
this country abroad . . . not only maintains the training facilities that will help defend our
shores ... but also carries on ceaseless research for the advancement of nearly every phase
of American life.
JIhe first railroad in America was built by the Army.
Army engineers surveyed, constructed and managed for
a time such well-known railroads as the Baltimore and
Ohio; the Northern Central; the Erie; the Boston and
Providence; the New York, New Haven and Hartford;
the Boston and Albany, and many others, thus helping co
develop rail communication.
The Army built the Old Cumberland Pike, running from
Cumberland, Maryland, to St. Louis, Missouri, and recog
nized as the most effective influence in opening up the
Middle West.
Beginning with the construction of the old Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal and the Erie Canal, Army engineers
have worked upon virtually every navigable body of
water in the country.
' ' /
The gas mask, developed in World War I by the Chemical
Warfare Service of the U. S. Army, is used to protect
firemen, miners, and chemical workers, especially where
there is danger of carbon-monoxide, ammonia or other
deadly fumes.
Gases and flame-throwers, developed by the Chemical
Warfare Service, are being used extensively to extermi
nate locusts, the boll-weevil, the corn borer, potato hopper
and other pests ruinous to crops.
Army Engineers have led all other agencies in flood
prevention, through the building of locks, dams, levees
and sea walls.
In 1918, the Signal Corps accomplished the first success
ful radio message from airplane to ground, and a few
years later successfully demonstrated the first airplane
radiotelephone.
The Lewis and Clarke expedition that opened up tha
Northwest was conducted by the Army.
Army engineers increased the depth of Boston Harbor
from 18 to 35 feet and widened it from 1Q0 to 1200 feet.
They also developed the ports of Houston, Texas, and
Los Angeles, and co-operated in the development of New
York harbor.
The development of airplane apparatus with which to
spray fields and orchards is an important part of the
work of the Chemical Warfare Service.
Army fliers have saved the people of the United States
millions of dollars in timber and flood control by detect
ing forest fires unseen by ground observers.
•
Army fliers have protected and saved the lives of thou
sands of our citizens stranded on inaccessible mountain
tops, marooned on ice-bound boats, or cut off from sur
face travel by flood or fire by dropping supplies or
actually rescuing them. They also fly precious serums to
the sick, and patients to hospitals.
\ ^ I
^Lerial mapping and photography by the Army Air
Forces has aided in charting large sections of swamp
areas, impassable mountain ranges, and other heretofore
unexplored regions both on land and sea.
Army Engineers erected the imposing Washington
Monument in the nation’s capital; they built the wings
and dome of the Capitol; and supervised the construc
tion of the Lincoln Memorial, the Library of Congress,
the Government Printing Office, the Agricultural Build
ing, and other famous buildings.
THE TIME of the Alaska gold rush, the only lin.
Americans had with civilization was the Alaska cable,
constructed and operated by the U.S. Army Signal Corps
/ •
Army men, under the direction of Major Walter Reed,
discovered the cause and remedy for yellow fever in one
of the most heroic stories in the annals of our history.
Thus, the building of the Panama Canal, the digging of
which was done by Army Engineers, was made possible
after repeated failures on the part of others.
The radio beacon was a development of the Signal
Corps, and after successful tests the plans and specifica
tions were turned over to the free use of commercial
manufacturers.
The radio system established by the Army between Nome
and St. Michael, Alaska, in 1904, was the first in the
world regularly to operate commercially over a distance
of 100 miles. The successful operation of these two
stations was due to the inventions and experiments of a
Signal Corps officer.
In times of disaster, such as the San Francisco fire in
1906, and the Ohio and Mississippi River Valley floods
in 1936 and 1937, it was the Army that took charge of
disorder and administered the emergency relief forces
until civilian organizations could take over.
THIS MESSAGE OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE
IS PUBLISHED BY THE FOLLOWING FIRMS:
Army engineers initiated most of the accurate methods
which are now employed in the geodetic, topographic,
and hydrographic surveys of our possessions.
The Corps of Engineers of the U. S. Army built Bonneville
Dam, making it possible to irrigate lands and furnish
water-power for public utilities in communities in Oregon
and Washington.
The Army has flown across the country with the speed
of sound.
The Army Signal Corps has contacted the moon by radar.
