DETERMINATION OF
GROUND SQUIRRELS
EXPERIMENTS BY A6RIcuITuR,

GREEN BARLEY BEST.

O. --I.1g.cal Surrey of the D.
eal 0. Agriculture, to extermi.
nate ground squirrels and gophers.
Extensive experiments were tried
to determine the best means of kill.
ing of these destructive little animals
and it was found that most effective
results were obtained by using poison
ell green or ripeling barley heads.
The squirrels are exceedingly fond of
this green heritage, and eagerly ate
the poisoned food placed along sheir
rmwa?s. Tests were also made with
oats, wheat, barley, raisins, prunes,
dried apples and cracked corn, but
these did not prove so successful.
While green barley proved most
successful for poisoning ground squir-
rels. We, the difficulty Of procuring a
sufficient supply in all localities led
to dried barley grain being tried.
The grain was trea- ed with strichnine
sIlphate, sacchaule and eggs, and
although this combination proved
very destructive to the squirrels. it
had practically no effect upon doves
and quail. In fact, deliberate
attempt was made to poison these
tirds at their watering places, but
10 bad effect resulted. The poison
ed grain was also used in fields graz
ed over by sheep and produced no i'll
effects whatever.
The experiments also proved that
gophers were partial to raj sins and
dried apples, and these were success
fully used in the poison experiment.
It was found tina. by sprinkling the
apples or rlisins with the strychnine
solution. as effective results were
produced as could be obtained by
inserting the poison into the fruit.
The experiments for extermination
Of squirrels also resulted in the death
OF a considerable number of rabbits,
and in other experiments It was found
that poisoned oats proved very effect

TWO MORE STARS FOR OLD
GLORY.

Marcus A. Smith served Arizona
as delegate TO Congress for eighteen
years, so that the territory was long
regarded as ho2elessly Democratic
Last November, to the surprise Of
everybody, Smiths normal plurality
OF about 1900 was wiped out, and the
Republican candidate, Ralph II. Cam
eron, was elected, with plurality
of 700--simply because the people
believed that the Republican party
had put the statehood plank in It's
platform in good faith. New Mexico
had been, counted safely Republican
for years. but last fall w. II. An.
