The first experiments in this line
we're made in New Mexico by a stock
man who has since entered the for
est service. In 1901, DR.. C. Hart
Merriam. chief of the division of Bio
logical survey of the department OF
agriculture, made report upon The
Prairie Dog of the Great Plains" in
which the damage done by the dogs
was pointed out, and various meth
DDS of poisoning them we're suggest
ed. This report OF or. Merriam S
may be said to have blazed the way
for practical work in prairie dog eX-
termination.
Prairie dogs are very obnoxious to
the stockmen. for they devour much
grass and undermine the surface of
the ground with their burrows
Where they establish themselves the
destruction of the range is only a
question of time.
Range improvement in National
forests is one of the chief objects of
regulating the grazing. For this rea-
son the forest service is leaving no
stone unturned to prevent range de-
terioriation. Stockmen who had suf-
fered heavily from the prairie dog
pest were solicitous to have the work
taken up, and gladly offered to CO
operate with the service in furnish
ing men and horses to distribute the
poison.
To ascertain what success could be
had in ridding considerable areas OF
the pest. a selection was made of
parts of the Lcadville and Pike Ma
tional forests which were badly in
tested. The region in these forests
upon which the dogs were located
aggregated 800 square miles or more.
In order to demonstrate the effec-
tiveness of the work an area of some
\ 60 or IS thousand acres of actual
| dogtown was selected for the test.
| From so to 80 per cent of the dogs
were killed with the first distribu-
ton of the poison. 1t will be neces-
sary to go over the ground second

There has been very fair run of

of days, are fully a quarter under
last weeks figures. Best Wyoming
