also disappeared.
Representative Williams reso-

IT IS TINE TO
POISON. THE
GROUND PESTS

The most favorable time for poison
ing the ground squirrels is early in
April as soon as they are all out of
Information. They are then hungary
and the young are not yet born. Ex-
cellent results We're given by poisoned
oats through April, May, June and
July wherever the crop was in a con-
dition so that the holes could be found
readily. The ground squirrels took
the poison freely even when their
cheek pouches were already filled with
new wheat, bax, barley, alfalfa buds
or other green food. Ten grains of
oats poisoned in this way and placed
in the cheek pouches We're found suf-
ficient to kill squirrels three-fourths
grown. The larger the quantity of
