~ pose of local drainage such drai Missouri Pioneer Dies. Mrs. Ella Walker-Hickman, 77 _ years old, a member of one of the , oldest families in Missouri, died re- cently at her home, 3019 Euclid Ave. Mrs. Hickman was the widow of the late John L. Hickman, algo a member —of an-old-and- distinguished Missouri . family. Mr. and Mrs. Hickman were mar- ried near where each was reared, at Pleasant Green, Mo., in 1858. Their ancestors settled there several years before, coming from Paris, Ky. The couple came to Kansas City in 1888. Three children survive. They are, Walker Hickman, a building contrac- tor, Miss Mary Hickman,.a teacher, and Mrs. Alfred H. Schaefer. Mrs. Schaefer lives in Ridgefield Park, N. J. She is a magazine writer. The other two children live at the family home. Addison A. Walker, a broth- er, also survives. His home is in Se- dalia, Mo.—K. C. Times. Mr. and Mrs. Hickman were resi- dents of Bates County from 1876 to 1888, Mrs. Hickman’s father, James Walker at one time owned several thousand acres of land in this county. Her brothet, John R. Walker was Bates County’s first Democratic rep- aesentative after the war. Duvall Ranch Makes First Al- falfa Cutting. Mr. John Howard, superintendent of the Duvall ranchj-seven miles south of this city, informed a reporter of The Times Tuesday that they were just finishing the first cutting of the alfalfa crop for this season. This is the first alfalfa crop harvested in the state this season that we have know- ledge of. He states that they have eighty-five acres in alfalfa and this cutting is making: one and one-half tons to the acre, an excellent average for the crop. It is remarkably clean _and free from weeds. They expect to get from two to three more cut- tings of alfalfa this year. Mr: Duvall’s alfalfa last year’ aver- aged $92.50 per acre for the season’s grop and this year it will probably equal if it does not exceed last year’s remarkable record. Mr. Howard states that the army worm has not made its appearance on ‘the ranch, but that he had: had ex- perience with this pest in Indiana about eleven years ago. At that time the progress of the worm was stopped with ditches cut with the sides sloping inward from the bottom to the top. Presbyterian Church. Bible School 9:45 a. m. Public worship 11:00 a. m.

The most common way to do this is to scatter poisoned corn around the field. This usually does the work, but it often kills many birds that would bea great benefit through the summer. Taking time to drop the poisoned corn into the gopher holes is a better and surer way of killing the little pests. Ruler for ‘“‘No Man’s Land” To be Picked by Nations New York, May 20.—William A.
