The March Of the Prairie Dog.

From the Albany News.
The prairie dog is a standing threat against
the future prosperity Of the grazing districts OF
the state. Draw line from Red river south to
the Colorado, SO as to run about the western
lines of Throckmorton, Shackelford, Callahan
and Coleman counties, and you mark the front
OF the greatest immigration army ever dreamed
OF by man. From this line west $50 miles every
square mile Is infested by these devOuring pests.
They thickly inhabit q section Of country 200
miles long and $50 miles wide. The advent Of
the white man into this country has but in
creased their numbers. as man has DESTROYED
the wolves, badgers, rattlesnakes, panthers and
other animals which prey upon the prairie dogs
They eat the grass in summer and the grass
roots In winter, and the consequence is that
what was but few years ago the finest grazing
region in America Is fast becoming yerdureless
desert.
Unlike all other animals in America the prai-
RE dog Is migrating, not west, but east. Only
q year or two ago his eastern line was about the
western line Of this county. In q short time he
has advanced his frontier east about five miles
into ShackelfOrd, ThrOckmOrton and the other
counties lying north and south Of Shackelford.
Unless checked he will soon ravage all the mes
quite grass land in the state and will then des-
cend In countless hosts upon the black waxey
farming land Of Tarrant, Dallas, Collin and the
other counties east of us.
1t Is no evaporation to say that SO, 600 900
does not exceed the value of the grass annually
consumed by the prairie dogs In northwest
Texas. Could they be destroyed instantly as
by stroke of lightning, the price of land In all
the regions described would advance 100 per
cent as soon os the tact was KNOWN.
