method yet devised.
The ground squirrels of the. Pacific
slope from southern California to Brit.
ish Columbia have been found TO pos
sess the germs of the plague The 10
calities where the germ-laden SOUR
rels have been discovered are yet
widely separated. but the federal au-
thorities are taking no chances with
the pests carrying the disease farther
away
The squirrels are being poisoned and
trapped by the federal employees, who
are making every effort. to- prevent
communication of the plague germ
to the rats of the cities and towns
along the coast. Since embedded in
the black wharf rats of the coast cit
les the danger of quick spread OF
the plague to human beings is almost
certain. 1t is said by experts that a
bite by the ground squirrel or rat in
fected by the germs would be suffi-
cient to transmit the disease to other
animals and to human beings.
Because OF its prevalence In parts
of the northwest, farmers who have
been employing cats to rid the fields
of gophers and squirrels have been
warned to keep the cats in, lest they,
too. become infected. making it easy
to transmit the disease to the family.
