KANsAN HELPED BY THE FLOODS.
Several Kinds Of Vermin Exterminated
In n XnlInr

Several Kinds Of Vermin I1xterminated
I'm the Raw Valley.
The greatest disaster which ever vis-
tied Topeka was the flood of last sum-
mer. Occasionally some one discovers
that the flood resulted in some good.
One thing which is fact. however,
and which Is a blessing tot he people of
the valley is that the mice. rats. moles,
gophers and rabbits have not bothered
the district which was flooded, says
The Topeka Cajital
Prior to the flood the store, factories,
dwellings, granaries and all buildings
in the valley were overrun with rats
and mice Now ii Is so seldom that the
people who live in the district which
was flooded see rat or mouse that
the fact Is commented upon.
When the water got into the houses
along the valley the rats and mice tried
but most of them were drowned Many
of the rodents got into the upper sto-
ries OF the houses. but they could get
nothing to eat and in their efforts to
flood the ground was covered with soft
mud for months. Thu rodents attempt
ed to get out of the places of safety
they had found during the food and
went to seek something to eat. They
died in the soft mud.
The driving out of the rats and mice
was blessing. but. that was nothing
compared TO the benefit the farmers
all along the Kaw Valley received by
the death of the moIes and gophers. It
is said that there is not a mole or a
gopher In the valley where the land
was under water for three days. The
strange part of it is that the gophers
did not. come back after the food.
Tracts of land that were honeycomb-
ed with gopher and mole holes are now
as solid as a piece of land that had been
cultivated every year. In fact. there
is not a gopher or mole in the district
which was flooded. This Is the opinion
of the men who live In the flooded dis
trict. 1t may seem like hunting mighty
hard for benefits from a disaster. but
the relief the farmers have experienced
from the absence of the moles and GO
piers has been of enough Importance
to cause a general comment. In the
past fields have been almost ruined by
the pests and many horses have been
crippled by stepping in the holes in the
fields.

get rid of the prairie dogs. The far
:ners in the eastern part Of the state
have also asked for some method OF
cleaning out the gophers. 1t appears
that the only effective method Is TO
have a flood which will keep the pests
under water for two or three days. The
remedy Is severe, but 1t is effective.
Another thing that the people of the
flooded district have to be thankful for
is the driving out of the rabbits from
the valley. 1t would be supposed that
the rabbits would have run away from
the food but they did not. Many OF
them were drowned. Strange as 1t may
seem. the rabbits did not come back at
ter the flood. Why this should be %
