THE HIGHWAY FUND
Arizona Will Receive $751;.
900 from Uncle Sam
for Road Work

Arizona will receive S137, OPT. SO
under the Federal government
road appropriation for the fiscal
year from July l, 1917, to July
l, 1918. Thirty-two states in the
Union receive more from the
government than Arizona and
fifteen receive less out of this
fund of $1O,000,000 for good
roads than Arizona did.
Since the appropriation for the
fiscal year ending July l, 1919,
is to be a third larger than the
one ending in 1916, Arizona may
count on receiving a third more
for 1918-19 than for 1917-1S. The
scale will be a steadily rising one,
fol the fiscal year ending July l,
1920, the sum of $50, 600, coo will
be expended aud the year fol-
lowing, S25, 600, 600.
This appropriation has nothing
to do with the million dollars a
year for a period of ten years
which the federal government is
expanding in building trail and
developing roads within or partly
within the government forests.
Out of this sum Arizona gets the
sum of $50, 900 this year in addi-
ton to the other amount men
toned.
Apportioned on this basis, the
money is divided as follows:

FREED OF PRAIRIE DOGS

Over 2, 1000, 600 acres of west
ern grazing range have been
freed of prairie dogs and other
range-destroying rodents, &C.
cording to a report just received
by District Forester Redington
from the Biological Survey at
Washington. Of this area, 767, =
600 acres lie in or near the ma
tional forests of Arizona and
New Mexico.
Prairie dogs destroy great guam
titles of forage and convert large
areas of range into barren wastes
by digging out the G. ass by the
roots. Forest officers cite the
Guadalupe division of the Almo
National Forest in southern New
Mexico, as an example. Nearly
100, 600 acres of this range are said
to have been formerly overrun
with dogs, but poisoning opera
tons conducted by the Biological
Survey destroyed nearly all of
them. A marked improvement in
the condition of both range and
livestock was promptly notice
able.
Poisoning operations have been
developed along scientific lines to
a point where the work costs only
a fraction of the value of the in
creased forage production. JIG.
Crick, of the United States Bio
logical Survey, has conducted the
work in New Mexico, which has
covered the worst infested parts
of the Almo, Carson, Datil and
Manzano forests. D. A. Gilchrist
has been in charge of the work
in Arizona, where parts of the
Coconino, Prescott and Sitgreaves
forests have been freed of dogs.
