GOING AFTER RODENT PESTS
IN DEAD EARNEST.
Destruction Past Season Has Been So
Great That Farmers Are Aroused
and VIII Wage Relentless Cam
paign of determination.

The poison campaign this winter is
going to be a success. The first 20
cards returned to the farm bureau
call for PAS ounces of s~trychnine, and
the losses sustained by the parties
who filled out the cards, in crops this
year, do not suggest that more poi
son was ordered than will be needed.
The twenty-five farmers report
estimated losses in 1918 of 11,275
bushels OF wheat by rabbits and squir-
rels, and the estimates do not seem
to have been placed high, especially
as to acre yield. Based on these es-
Inmates the 25 farmers have suffered
an average gross loss Of more than
5000 from grain destroyed by rodent
pests.
Some entire fields were reported
destroyed, up to 100 acres. Quite a few
had from fifty acres up, and the losses
of each of the farmers was material.
While these losses were reported from
the worst infested part of the county,
from Prosperity and Pleasant Valley
precincts adjoining the lavas and a
great stretch of undisturbed sage
brush, there are other localities that
are not far behind County Agent
Lampson is of the opinion, from his
rather limited observations and what
he has been told, that weeds and ro-
dents combined caused a loss this
year to the farmers of the county OF
not less than a quarter of a million
dollars. divided about equally between
rodents and weeds.
An order for 1000 ounces of strych-
rine was placed several days ago. but
if other parts of the county call for
anywhere near as much as the Pleas
ant Valley section. there will not be
near enough. The farmers have or
ganized. with leaders in every district
and every farmer ordering strychninC
must have his order approved by the
district leader who is acquainted witt
conditions. and the extent Of the dam
age done. This will act as a CHECK
upon anyone who may overestimatt
his requirements.

PRESIDENT JOSEPH r. SMITH
DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS.
Aged Head OF Mormon Church Sui
fered Stroke OF Paralysis Several
Months Ago and Has Appeared in
Public But Once Since.

Joseph F. Smith. president Of the
church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day
Saints. died at his home in Salt Lake
today after a long illness. Last April
the aged leader suffered a stroke Of
paralysis and since that time has ap-
peared but at one public function of his
church. the %semi-annual conference
held in the tabernacle last month. But
a week ago the eightieth birthday an
niyersary Of Mr.. Smith was observed
by his friends. irrespective Of re-
ligious belief.
President Smith succeeded to the
pi esidency Of his church and TO the
leadership Of the Mormon people in
troublous times in the state Of Utah.
BY fine judgment and innate kindness
Re Overcame the animosities which be-
set the people Of that state but a few
years ago, and long since these have
been forgotten. President Smith lived
10 see the day when men and women
Of all shades Of religious belief freely
acknowledged his wise leadership in
his church and in the industries Of
the state Of Utah. For many years the
aged leader has received the homage
Of friends scattered far and wide on
each recurring birthday anniversary
President Smith. from the day that
America entered into the great war
Just come 10 a close. urged his people
10 do all in their power TO uphold
the American government and the men
Of the army and navy. In the fall Of
1916 he delivered a notable address
in the tabernacle in Salt Lake City
forefelling the entrance of America in
20 the war. and %impressing upon the
audience that if America treasured
her freedom it would be worth fight
inf for. His church literally contrib
uted TO Liberty bonds and other gov
eminent war activities. and from HIS
private means he also gave literally.
The passing Of President Smith will
be sincerely regretted wherever he
was known, Some of his most intimate
friends were not members Of the reli-
giOus organization Of which he was
the head. and this fact attests to his
worth as a mar among men and as
q leader.

PROHIBITION RIDER PASSES.
Senate ConcurS in Bill to stop Sale
of Liquor After June 30, 1919.

Final legislative action was taken
Monday by the senate on the national
wartime prohibition bill. effective July
l next and continuing during demob-
ilization. The measure will go Thurs
day to President Wilson for his appro-
val. which is confidently expected by
prohibition advocates.
The bill would stop sales of distilled
malt or vinous beverages June 80.
1919. and thereafter during the war
and rehabilitation. Manufacture Of
distilled spirits now is prohibited un-
der the food control law. which will
expire with the world peace treaty.
The prohibition bill is in the form
Of a legislative rider on an emergency
appropriation measure. providing
about s12. 000. 900 for stimulating az
r"icultural production.
Effect of the legislation. even if
approved by the president is the sub
iect Of warm dispute. which many of
the members of congress think the
courts will have 70 settle. The bill
would make prohibition effective "af-
ter June 80. 1919. until the cOnclu-
sion of the present war. and thereaf-
ter until the termination of demobili-
zation. the date of which shall be de-
termined and proclaimed by the pres
ident."
