POISON FOR
CONTROLLING PESTS

Some rodeEcs, like rabbits, mice and
moles Cor black meadow mice) are
more or less active throughout the
year. Others such as the pocket
gopher and chipmunk store up pro-
visions in their underground homes
to time them over the winters.
Ground squirrels sleep through the
winter months in their burrows with
out eating and emerge in early spring
emaciated and hungry. In all cases
late winter and early spring is the
period of keenest specifies, when the
ro dents which Nre most destructive
to crops can be most easily tempted
by poisoned bats. Early March is
the breeding period for most rodents
so that every female destroyed before
this time means the destruction of
from four to dozen or more progeny.
If before the busy season of spring
blowing and planting begins. farmers
would cooperate in a systematic cam
paign of poisoning rodents much of
the later trouble coul1 be avoided.
While many different kinds of bats
can be used and different animals are
attracted by different things. the fol
lowing formula devised by Mr.. Stanley
T.. Piper for meadow mice is to be es-
pecially recommended, because of its
