County Rodent
Pest Campaign

Attention, Mr.. Farmer Are you
taking advantage of the opportunity
to get the ground squirrel pest under
control offered by the cooperation
of the U. s. Biological Survey, county
patholosist, county court end local
farmers organizations? Every com
munity in the county not organized
should do so at once and thus get
every farmer and orchardist who has
a single squirrel on his place to help
kill OFF this destructive lest. Co
operation and united effort is the
only way any pest can be properly
controlled Do not say or think, LET
George do it," but rather say, 1T is
a good movement and | am going to
be public-spirited and will do my
share by buying enough poison TO
kill the squirrels off my cwn place
and more If the circumstances war
rant" If such spirit should he
maintained throughout the spring
summer and fall there would be a
great reduction in the number #
SQUIRRELS. Continue another year and
the following year you may rest from
such labors. But keep at it. everlast-
ingly keep at it, and the ground
squirrel pest will soon be an incident
of the past.
Three and one-half tons of this bar
ley, poisoned according to the form
ula which the government has used
to eradicate the pest from one million
acres of national forest, has been pre-
pared and is now ready for distribu
tion. Over haF of this has already
gone out. 1t will kill the squirrels if
properly put out. 1t is sold you at
cost. which is cents per pound at
the mixing plant at the Rogue River
Fruit and Produce Association. Those
living in community not organized
should take steps to form pest club
at once, but in the meantime can Sc
cure poison at either the central plant
in Medford or the nearest local Or
ganizations. Following are names of
clubs formed and the distributors Of
each: Rogue River Club, Cold Hill,
Phoenix, Eagle Point Club, Talent
Club, Ruch Club, Central Point, East
side Community Club, Valley View
Farmers Club, Belleview Farmers
Club, Griffin Creek Club, Rogue Riv-
er Mercantile Company, Martins
Drug Store, Phoenix Mercantile Com
pany, George Brown & Son, Brown
Bros. store, Ed Smith, Elden's seed
store, Harry Merriman A. H. Daven-
hill and ]. R. Wilson.
Now is the time to put out the
poison when the squirrels are hun
CRY and the young are not born.
When the green feed comes on they
will slacken little, but keep some
out and they will soon be taking as
much as usual again. Some who have
already tried the poison barley report
excellent results, better than with
any poison they have ever used. Be-
cause of its low cost everyone should
take advantage of this opportunity.

MONEY APPROPRIATED-BUT
NO SHIPS BEING BUILT.

WASHINGTON Jan. 10-Tho last
session of the Sixty-fourth Congress
appropriated 1913, ,ss4, ,212 for the
1917 naval building program. The
ct was approved August 20 1915
and the money has ever since been
lvailable.
OF the Sc vessels authorized, how
yer, in this, the greatest prepared
ress step in the history of the nation
&c keels yet remain to be laid.
Inability to agree on terms and
costs demanded by private yards
have been responsible for the delay,
according to Sec. Daniels.
Contracts are yet to be signed for
eight of the proposed new vessels,
and of the other 58 there remain 1S
authorized submarines for which the
building terms are not yet complete.
For the entire program of CON
struction, bids have been received for
I'll but one vessel. This is an am
munition ship for which bids were
opened January 3. Contracts already
lave been placed for four battleships,
20 'destroyers, and 30 submarines.
For 18 of the last named, however,
certain details yet remain TO be work
ed out before their construction can
be started.
Four authorized battle cruisers are
also awaiting final action on build
ing terms before their keels can be
laid.
Under the appropriation act pro-
vision must be made for the construc-
ton of the entire program by Feb
ruary 20.

NRGENTINE STATE IN
HANDS OF RECEIVER.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 10. - The
Argentine state of Entire Rios, today
is in the hanos of a receiver, whose
duty is not to wind up the provinces
affairs, but to straighten them out.
The Entere Rios receiver, or in
terventor, is DIR. Joaquin s. de An
chorena. The provincial governor is
Dir. Miguel Laurencena. DR.. Lauren
cena is radical, like national Pres
ident Irigoyen. The Entire Rios leg
islature is due to elect two senators
to send to the federal upper house
n Buenos Aires. On joint ballot the
legislature is radical by a majority
Ct two votes. Therefore the two SEN
otors presumably will be radicals.
The conservative members of the
legislature do not want this to hap,
pen. Consequently they stay away
from the sessions and Gov. Lauren.
cena cannot get a quorum.
After repeated attempts to over
come this difficulty the governor
appealed to the president. The pres
ident placed the situation in the
hands of DIR. de Anchorena, as re
ceiver, Or interventor.
Federal intervention in the pro
vinces is not unusual in Argentina.
When President Irigoyen went in.
TO office, as Il radical, there were
many predictions that he would rad
ioalize all the conservative states BY
means of intervention.
This was the way in which it was
prophesied President Irigoyen would
10 it, but there has been only the one
case so far.
