FOR PREDATORY
animal FUND
THIS AMOUNT TO COME IN BY
MARCH 1ST TO PAY CLAIMS
ON FILE.
CLAIMS PAID IN ORDER FILED
$72,ss3.71 Will Have Been Distributed
When this is Spent other Claims
Must Go Over.

Since the announcement that the pre-
datory animal fund has been exhausted
there many inquiries concerning the
matter of payment of claims, and filing
of the same. The pelts are still COM
ing in in large numbers and the claims
are being filed in the order of their re-
ceipt. There is absolutely nothing in
the fund at the present time left to pay
claims but there will be small addi-
tonal sum come in later and the claims
will be paid in the order they are filed
so long as the incoming fund lasts. In
this regard the following is of interest
being received from Boise under date
of Friday, February A.
Some Money to Come Yet.
Trere will be $l3,533.46 available to
pay predatory animal claims against
the state about March !, but there are
now 937 claims on file with the state
veterinarian IS department which call
for $40, ,457 so so that there will be a
balance of but $2,07596 in the fund
when the claims are paid. When this
amount is paid out the state will have
distributed $72,S33.71 in little over
year in predatory animal bounties
alone. Yet there are many animals in
the predatory class running wild in
Idaho, say hunters who have been
making an extraordinary good living
the past few months bagging them.
State Veterinarian Bodle has al
ready issued notices to defooters in all
parts of the state that the fund is ex-
hausted, notifying them to so inform
hunters but to accept their claims for
filing with his department Unless the
stock and sheepmen of the state raise
additional funds killing of predatory
animals this year will be at the mini
mum.

PROPHECY COMES THAT PRICE
WILL REACH $500 BY SPRING
URGE FARMERS NOT TO
ABANDON INDUSTRY.

Now that the farmer and stock rails
er has shipped out the majority OF his
hogs under the forced necessity OF do
ing SO or holding the same until prices
raise and feeding high priced grain,
and it has even been intimated that
some intend to drop hog raising for the
time being, the packing interests, on
the coast especially, are beginning to
sit up and take notice and are even
contemplating big shortage of pork
ers. In fact the shipments have been
falling off from week to week to an
alarming extent. Now the reports are
being sent forth that a big shortage
is in view and that the prices will go
up to big figure before spring and
the farmers are urged to take hold and
reap the profits.
This week such report was recelv-
ed by the Free Press dater January ~,
having undoubtedly been held up III

tains. 1t offers encouragement for the
future if it does not afford much con

Seattle, Jan, 30, 1916.
The prediction of U. S. government
officials that the hog market of the
country was sure to show signs OF
strength at an early date has come true.
Hogs are now bringing $7.75 in the
Puget Sound market and it is gener-
ally conceded that shipments are so
limited that it will be necessary in
another forty or sixty days to begin
shipping from Missouri river points
Freight and shrinkage will add about
$1.20 to the price with the result that
it is predicted the price will be $500
or even more by early spring. The gov
ernment is going to every length to IN
duce the growers to renew their actl
yities and there is every indication
that they are taking kindly to the ad
vice. The Government has always con
tended that it is serious mistake fol
growers to even temporarily abandon
the raising of hogs Notwithstanding
that wheat prices were soaring an'
hogs were not bringing the prices the.
should. This condition the Government
contended was only temporary and tina
il would be only short time whel
wheat would go down in price and hog
would 90 up. This prediction is eel
tainly coming true as to the advance i
hog prices and students of market cor
ditions are sure that the wheat price
are liable to take slump most an

COYOTES KILLING DEER.

Charles B. French, government nun

the deer, the carcasses of six having
been found by Mr.. French He says a
pack of coyotes will take after a deer

UNITED PRESS,

Emperors, statesmen, warriors and
a staff of newspaper correspondents
circling the globe have worked to-
gether in the columns of the Daily
Pioneer during the last twelve
months to make 1915 the most Won
derful year for news in the history
of Journalism.
Through the United Press, the
Daily Pioneer has been enabled to
tap the European war areas, the orr
ent and domestic field for exclusive
news throughout the year. The list
of correspondents who have given the
Daily Pioneer it's brilliant stories Of
the war is headed by Ed L. Keen,
the European manager of the United
Press. Among those associated with
him have been William G.. Shepherd,
at various battle fronts; William
Philip Simms in Paris, Carl w. Ack-
erman in Berlin, Henry Wood in
Rome and Southeastern Europe, Will
bur S. Forrest in London, Charles P.
Stewart with the Ford peace expedi-
ton and others.
The Daily Pioneer will continue to
use the United Press service in 1916
so as to give it's readers the best pos
sible telegraph service.

1.-THE BIRTH OF A NATION"

The --latest word" in motion pic
lures is "The Birth of a Nation"
founded on Thomas Dixon's 1.-THE
Clansman," historical drama in two
acts which is now exhibiting at
Crookston. A representative of the
Pioneer, after witnessing the produce
ton yesterday afternoon, believed it
to be the most glorious accomplish
ment in any art than he had ever
seen.
In short period of three hours,
history of fifteen years could be
seen. No part of the picture Jagged
as the film was cut down to a fine
point. When one sees the play for
the first time he is overwhelmed by
the immensely of it. In the picture
there are hundreds of scenes in place
of a few and there are thousands Of
people in the production in place of
score. 1t is an epic of proud brave
people beaten into dust and refusing
to stay there. The realism of the
work is amazing.
There has been some hostility to
the picture on account of the alleged
injustice to the negro. One does not
feel this, however, as there are good
negroes shown as we'll as some hate
full negroes.
Never before has there been seen
such a combination of spectacle and
tense drama.
1t is we'll worth five dollars, if not
more, to see this great production.

new INSECTlCIDE.

Arsenate Of Calcium Effective Against
Chewing Insects on Fruit Trees.
Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
AS a result Of extensive tests with
different insecticides the entomologists
Of the department have found that
calcium .arsenate, a new insecticide,
gives very promising results in the
control of certain insects that do DAM
Rge by chewing on fruit trees. Among
the chewing insects against which the
arsenate Of calcium proved effective
in laboratory and field tests conducted
at Benton Harbor, Mich, are the cod
ling moth, the fall webworm, the tent
caterpillar and the tussock moth.
In these tests the effects of arsenate
Of calcium, both alone and combined
with lime sulphur solution, were test
ed in comparison with arsenate of
lead alone and in combination with
lime-sulphur. The arsenate of calcium,
as was the arsenate Of lead, was used
at the rate of two pounds to each fifty
gallons Of water. In all the expert
ments the arsenate Of calcium gave
very satisfactory results in killing the
larvae without burning the foliage. In
a number of cases it's killing action
was somewhat slower than, but COM
pared favorably with, the arsenate Of
lead. Since it can be produced more
cheaply than the lead arsenate it would
appear to have distinct value, although
it has not been sufficiently tested to
permit recommending it unreservedly
for general use. Where arsenate of
calcium was combined with lime-sul-
phur 1t was, as rule, even more eff
fective as poisoning agent than when
used alone and did not lessen the value
Of the latter as fungicide. When
these compounds are combined the
amount Of foliage consumed by the
larvae is less than where the arsenate
Of calcium is used alone. In tests in
1914 commercial arsenate Of calcium
paste), arsenic oxide 1882 per cent,
with lime-sulphur solution gave very
excellent control Of the codling moth
in comparison with arsenate Of lead
and with unsprayed plats. Where
arsenate Of calcium was used 1919

arsenate Of lead showed 99.44 per cent

To Kill Wheat Insects.
Stored wheat is attacked by several
kinds Of insects, which feed principally
on the starch in tile grain, destroying
the terminating power of the seed and
making the wheat berries inferior for
milling.
Clemson college. South Carolina, rec
ommends for the control of these wheat
insects the use of carbon bisulphide. an
almost colorless, nonpoisonous LIQUID
which kills by suffocation. For a bar
rel holding about three bushels use car
bon bisulphide at the rate Of half
teacupful to one barrel. For hun
dred bushel bin use eight pounds.
Apply the carbon bisulphide by sprin-
King it over the surface of the grain
in the barrel or bin. After sprinkling
cover the top of the barrel or bin with
heavy burlap. Leave this cover on for
twenty -four hours or longer. Repeat
this treatment after ten days or two
weeks to destroy the young.
Carbon bisulphide is highly inf1am-
mable, and fire of all sorts must be
kept away from it. 1t is dangerous
even for man who is smoking to go
near a wheat bin in which the mate.
rial has been sprinkled. Carbon bisul.
phide can be bought in fifty and hun
dred pound drums for about 9 cents a
pound.
