MAY
NOT Be PAVED
100000 Douglas Bisbee
Fund Is Found to Be
insufficient.

Douglas. Ariz-, Sept. IS.-After long
preparation me the voting Of $780,
600 in county bonds, there may be no
paving. after all. on the Douglas
Bisbee highway. The sum voted was
believed sufficient 10 lay a concrete
pavement with bitulithic surface and
to pay for all bridging. When the
bids were opened. the lowest was for
straight concrete. for s51f.S0O. this
exclusive Of the cement. which the
county would have 10 furnish. CT a
cost Of about $4,000. the grading
and the bridge steel, in all aggre-
eating a cost approximating $4,000.
For bitulithic. with concrete base.
the best bid was S2.46 a square yard
and with rock base $3.50. There Is
belief that the heavy traffic on the
highway demands nothing less than
the highest grade of construction and
there is inclination toward suspend
ing the work till after war conditions
NAV decrease the cost Of materials
and OF labor.

Poison GObherS
And Save Roads
And TheDitChe
Biologist Gives A
Remedy That Is Certain
Death To Pests.

D. A Gilchrist, biological assistant
OF the University Of Arizona. in charge
Of rodent control in Arizona, declares
that pocket gophers, such as menace
the roads and bitches in the valleys
above and below e. Paso. can be ex-
terminated effectively by the proper
use OF poison. His methods have been
successful in Riding Arizona Of the
prairie dog. and DR.. Guchrist says
they have been as successful where
tried on the gopher.
While IL is feasible 70 trap the GO
pher, he says that for Riding alfalfa
Fields, orchards and long stretches Of
ditch embankments OF them, a very
successful and much more practical
method is 10 poison them by placing
bats OF sweet potato or Of parsnips in
their underground runWays- Giving
the details, he says:
The bats should be cut about an
inch long and a half inch square, and
washed and drained From a pepper
box slowly sift Is ounce Of powdered
strychniue CaIkalOid) n lilo OF this
quantity Of s-accharine ground to-
gether in a MORTAR owe oOu four
quarts OF the dampened bats, stirring
TO distribute the poison evenly.
Placing the Poison.
The runWays, which are usually
tou TO eight lnches beneath the sur
face, can be located by means Of
probe made Of any strong handle an
inch in diameter and So inches long
end should be bluntly pointed
OF 3-S inch iron rod, protruding about
IL inches. and bluntly pointed A foot
rest aids in probing In hard soils By
forcing down this iron rod near the
gopher workings. or a foot or two
OF fresh mounds, b open tunnel
can be felt as the point breaks into It.
The blunt end Of the Instrument IS
hole, a bait or two is dropped p { the
run n the probe hole closed
zone soon becomes expert in lOcat-
runs. and a man can treat 300 to
500 gopher workings in a day. Bats
need be placed at only two points in
separate system Of 10 or 80
mounds, which is usually the home OF
a single gopher. In our experience
bats placed fairly in the open runs
have invariably killed the gophers.
The method has found great favor
wherever il has been introduced"
For killing Prairie Dogs.
For poisoning prairie dogs he says:
Dissolve one ounce Of strych-
nine sulphate in 1 L. pints OF
water. Add one heaping
tablespoonful OF gloss starch. pre-
mixed with a little cold
water, and boil until a clear paste is
formed. Add n ounce OF baking
and stir 70 q creamy mass Add
1~ue-half ounce OF glycerine and one
fourth pint OF syrup and stir thor
Pour over 16 quarts OF rolled
barley and mix well until every grain
IS evenly coated. Allow. TO dry before
using.

.lean, hard places near the holes. one
quart to 50 holes. Use IN five days
lfter mixing"
