according to directions around the

More than 100000 acres were treat

Cooperative Campaigns.
In other states cooperative cam
paigns have been effective against
other pests, such as prairie dogs and
jack rabbits. AS suggested by the cam

Quoted effectively, these five important
features essential to ultimate success
are named by specialists Of the depart

States Losses From Rodents.

Some idea of the loss suffered by
individual states from native rodents
may be obtained from the following
estimate recently submitted to the
United States department of agricul-
ture by state directors Of agricultural
extension work: Montana $4,000, 900
to $2O,OOO.OOO; North Dakota, $6OOO,-
600 to 100000; Kansas, $4,000, 900;
Colorado, 100000; California, $780,
100000; Wyoming, Is per cent of all
crops; Nevada, 10 to Is per cent of all
crops or 100000; New Mexico, ST.
100000 loss to crops and double this
amount to range.

HARM FROM RODENTS
Is COUNTRYWIDE

Food-destroying rodents are
common throughout the United
States. In states west of the
Mississippi river prairie dogs,
ground squirrels, pocket gophers,
rabbits, cotton rats and field
mice have taken a continually
increasing toll from the crops
Of wheat, oats, corn, barley and
other cereals, alfalfa, potatoes,
beans, fruit, melons and almonds
and from pasture ranges. States
east Of this boundary have suf-
fered heavily from the depreda-
tons Of rabbits, woodchucks and
meadow pine and white-footed
mice in gardens, field and truck
crops, orchards and vineyards.
The estimate of $15O,OOO,OOO loss
to crops annually in the United
States is based upon information
regarding conditions reported by
field representatives of the bio.
logical survey, United States de-
partment Of agriculture, county
agricultural agents, other com.
petent officials, and farmers. It
does not include losses inflicted
by house mice and rats.

POISONING STOPS
LARGE CROP LOSS
Cooperation Among Farmers
and All Authorities Concerned
Is Necessary.
CAMPAIGN IN NORTH DAKOTA
More Than 100000 Acres Treated in
North Dakota and Saving of ST.
100000 AccompIished-Many
Counties Organized.

Crops worth more than $15O,OOO,OOO
are destroyed every year by such rO-
! dents as prairie dogs, ground squirrels,
pocket gophers, rabbits, field mice and
rats and woodchucks. This heavy toll
does not include loss inflicted by house
mice and rats. That the losses due to
| rodents constitute an entirely unneces-
sary drain upon the productive capac-
ity of the farms and that they may be
permanently eliminated at cost which
is but small fraction of the damage
OccaSiOned during a single year has
been proved by the extensive work al
ready accomplished in campaigns con-
Quoted by the Biological Survey of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture in cooperation with state and
county organizations.
Community cooperation will do the
work. Rodent pests have been prac-
tically eliminated from millions of
lcres of valuable agricultural land in
the last four years through the COOP
Grafton of thousands of farmers. De-
Scribing these campaigns federal spe-
cialists declare that the eagerness with
which farmers have availed themselves
Of the opportunity to join in concerted
movements aimed at relief from these
pests is most significant and crafty
ing, while the returns in increased crop
yields from the amount of labor and
money invested in the community
campaigns have exceeded all expecta-
tons. A successful fight against ro-
dent pests requires that all local, state
and national agencies concerned be
brought into harmonious and effective
cooperation and that modern poison
ing methods of proved efficiency be
used.
Work in North Dakota.
In the great grain-rroducing areas
Of North Dakota there has been deve1-
oped the most extensive and thorough
" organized campaign with a compre-
hensive plan Of statewide eradication
Of rodent pests that has yet been at
tempted. This campaign was organ
lied under cooperative project agree
ment between the bureau of biological
survey and the states relation service
Of the United States department of
agriculture and the North Dakota agri-
cultural experiment station and extern
sion service, including the county agent
organization. The state legislature
provided revolving fund available for
use in procuring and maintaining the
required stock of poison supplies.
Many Gophers Killed.
The initial campaign was launched
against the Richardson ground squir-
rel, commonly known locally as
gopher" In many places poisoning
resulted in the killing of 90 per cent
of the animals on the first application.
Entire counties were organized in q
systematic voluntary warfare upon the
rodents, using the township as a con-
venient working unit. Poisoned grain

money!"

puppies in a window with "FOr Sale"
sign above them. Knowing my young
brother was crazy to have a dog, I
went in and bought a small fox ter
rier, having him placed in basket.

cidentally kicked the basket, and to
prevent more trouble placed it I'M

contained fresh eggs, believing might
have to take the animal to the baggage
car If the conductor knew what the
basket contained.
In the middle of the night the con-

eggs Matched overnight, SIR" he said.

the holes of the basket and walked
down the center aisle of the train with
the basket still around him.-Ex-
