County Declares War
On Digger Squirrels

As a result of tho campaign that
has been carried on in Jackson cOun-
ty by X. A. Ward of the Biological
Survey of the Department OF Agricui-
ture and Claude C. Cate, county path
ologist, a countrywide movement Will
be launched to exterminate the COM
mon digger" squirrel, gopher, mole
and jackrabbit. Through the efforts
of the Farmers and Fruitgrowers'
League of Medford as central or
ganization cooperating with the vari-
Gus other organizations and farmers
clubs of the county such as the Tai
ent Farmers Club, Belleview Farm
ers' Club at Ashland, Table Rock
Improvement Club, the Oranges at
Willow Springs, Agate and Rogue
River, and other clubs that are now
in the process of organization at
Eagle Point, Ruch, Applegate and
several other school districts, 1t has
been possible to organize the farmers
of the county in such manner that
the greatest possible benefit may
come from this movement.
Due to tho fact that the farmers
are organizing Systematically and eI-
pect to put more energy into this
work than ever before, the county
court has offered to aid In this cam
paign by furnishing the strychnine
which will aid materially in reducing
the cost of the poison grain to the
farmers of the various organizations.
The strychnine has been ordered ana
will he on hand next week some time,
and a large quantity Of the material
will be mixed ready for distribution
as soon as possible.
Farmers should make arrange
ments to secure this poison as soon
as it is ready for distribution, and
make a special effort to aid in this
war on the pests that cost Jackson
county vast amount Of money.
Communicate with the county path
ologist's office.
