PIONEER OF CHEVY CHASE.
Proposed to Put UP a Memorial OF
Col. Joseph Belt.

The memory of Col. Joseph Belt first
owner of Chevy Chase. is to be honored
by the erection OF monument, probably
in the form of a boulder suitably in
scribed. in Chevy Chase Circle. The sub
ject was discussed at length last night
at meeting of the Society of Colonial
Wars at the New Willard. A paper on
the subject of Col. Belt and his part In
the early history Of Maryland was read
by c. c. Magruder.
The meeting Of the society was in com.
memoration OF the 275th anniversary OF
the landing Of the Ark and the Dove
upon the shores OF Maryland. and In ad.
dition to Mr.. Magruders address paper
was read by Walter c. Clephane on THE
First Colonists in Maryland:'
The interest in the paper on Col. Joseph
Belt was heightened by the fact that II
contained much new information result
ing from original research on the part
of the author.

Mice Diminish to Normal.

and then the mice from OvercrOwdinS
and the onslaughts Of the poison squads
began to decrease. In the course of an
other season the mouse population had
been reduced to the normal. and the
ranchers are now on the lookout for
the slightest sign of another outbreak.
which will be the signal for a general
crusade.
The department says that the birds
such as hawks, owls and crows are the
best natural allies the farmer has
against the mice. The scene of the
outbreak showed that the mice had
furnished food for countless hawks and
owls. Even the bounty laws against
the coyotes were repealed and these
little wolves were seen in broad day
light regaling themselves on the mouse
army. 1t was found also that dogs
were great help Fox terriers and
other small dogs trained to follow the
pillow disposed of countless thousands
of the mice as the pillow turned them up
in the furrow.
First Accurate Record.
The department says that the re-
cent outbreak in Nevada was the first
of which an accurate record was made,
but it was not the first known to have
occurred. There was similar plague
in 1883 and 1889. and another in 1890
and 1901. Both of these. it is said. could
have been suppressed by little timely
winter poisoning when the invasion
was first noticed. 1t is urged hereafter
winter poisoning as a part of the farm
duties. and it is said if this is done
that such outbreaks in the future will
be an impOssibiiity.

WAR WAGED ON MICE
Ranchmen in Nevada Used
Poison With Great Success.

Immense Ravages Created by the

FARMS TURNED WILDERNESS
Fifteen Thousand Acres of Alfalfa
Were Wholly Destroyed-Dam-

FARMS TURNED WILDERNESS

The Department of Agriculture has been
pointing ont the danger of rat and mice
pla CUES for a number of years past. and
the biological branch of the department
has spent much time and money in dis
seminating information about rat danger
i'm the cities. the damage done by small
rodents of all sorts In farms, gardens
and orchards and the best means of deal
ing with them. 1t has recently received
Il report on a specific instance of an out
break of field mice in Nevada and has
published an account Of the damage done
and the methods used I'm com batting the
plague as guide to other communities
where there is similar danger.
The scene of the great outbreak was in
the Humboldt valley. In Nevada, where
i'm 1867 and 1905 1900 acres of farm land.
mostly in alfalfa, were wholly destroyed
and money damage caused amounting
to fully S2O0OGO. At the same time there
were threatening outbreaks on the upper
waters of the HUMBOLDT. and the mouse
scourge appeared in other parts of Ne
vada though nowhere else was it quite
so bad as at the place mentioned.
Ravages of the Pest.
The mice began to appear in unusual
numbers in the summer of 1907 and
through the winter they multiplied enor-
mously. Overrunning cultivated fields and
feeding on the crops in preference to any
thing else. When the winter came and
there was shortage of green food the
mice turned their attention to the alfalfa
fields and killed thousands Of acres that
had been bringing in an annual return
of from $40 to 50 an acre.
They We're thick at the height OF
the plague that it was estimated there
were from 5000 to 1000 mice to the acre
in the worse infected areas. They plowed
up the ground. ate off the roots of the
alfalfa and turned thousands of acres of
farms into bowling wilderness In
places the mouse burrows were so thick
that it was but step from one hole to
the CHER

model my attempt to give it expression

Poison Tried With Success.

The ranchmen tried everything that
they could to stop the plague, but poison
was their best weapon. They tried irri-
eating the fields. but 1t was like trying
to put out an oil fire with water The
irrigation drowned some of the very young
mice, but the most OF the mice simply
scattered to fresh ground. They could
swim long distances and seemed almost
as much at home in the water az on land
Most of the farmers tried poisoning
with yellow phosphorus. but this proved
dangerous, killing many valuable birds
that are help to agriculture and proving
menace to live stock. 1t was found on
experiment that strychnine was safer and
much more effective. The department
publishes details of the methods to be
| used in preparing this poison and in
| poisoning grain and alfalfa.
| 1t was found that the safe and only
| effective way to use the poison was
to go carefully over the ground and
drop 1t into the burrows. With the
| burrows covering the ground almost
| like the holes in a mosquito net, this
was toilsome piece of work A man
could not possibly cover more than
| three or four acres of ground day,
ard the cost was found to amount to
| so or 90 cents an acre
It was found that there were a good
many unoccupied burrows, and to save
time and material the ground was gone
over with a brush drag and the holes
were filled UP. The mice, of course
opened the occupied holes in a short
time. and it was easy to put poison in
them.
