COYOTES BITING THE
DUST AROUND MONTROSE
Local Poison Squad" Has so Hides
And believes Ten Times As Many
Killed.

Montrose Press
Eighty coyote hides have been turn
ed into the Western Slope Wool Grow
crs' association by Field Foreman G.
M.Trlckel, who heads the poison squad
Of seven men, now operating at a cost
Of 500 a month to the association.
Each man draws 500 a month. and
the foreman larger salary. The men
are II. J. Berry, r. l.. McElroy, Roy
Humphrey, n T. Hampton, Walter
llOtchkiss, Ernie Thompson, and Thos.
Jacques.
According to the government ratio
Of nine dead coyotes for every one that
got poisoned, would moan that 500
coyotes got killed. The opinion Of
n" foreman however. Is that about
500 got killed. Some perzOns have
been following the trail Of the hunters
and stca! the hides, deprlving the asso-
citation Of the po.l returns OF course,
som" Of the animals crawl off into
wild places and die and their hides rot.
Two wolves have been sighted BY the
hunters, and two bobcats have been
killed. Two or three coyotes have
been shot. the rest all falling to poison.
Strychunc Is used by the hunters,
placed in the ground, hors" meat mix
ed with pork fat. Il is vrry effective.
Substitute meats are sometimes used.
The hunt is extended from Cimarron
to Colona, and from Colona to Domin-
guez, west of Delta. Many hundreds
of square miles are being covered Y
these men. The hides are worth all
the way from $500 to $3.50, accord
ing to size, quality, and fitness.
The drive against predatory ami
mails is a great success so far, and the
Association still has s2,100 to spend
on the work.

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture is making a survey Of all the ag-
ricultural territory in the country, in
order that the high pressure food pro-
duc.ion demanded by the war may be
intelligently carried on Every farm
in the whole country will be included
the purpose being not only TO ascer-
tain production contemplated this year
but to protect the farmers from over
production of a given commodity, and
TO furnish information which will be
useful in stabilizing market condi-
tions. The survey will also enable the
government and state authorities to
more intelligently assist the farmers
in getting labor and seed.
Among other things, the survey will
ascertain from every farmer the
amount of labor used last year, needs
for coming year; amount and kind of
seed on hand, amount for sale, amount
needed; amount and kind Of livestock
a year ago, amount at this time, and
amount for sale, and amount farmer
desires to buy; acreage Of each crop
grown last year, and acreage of each
crop planned for coming year.
The government is working through
the Extension Service Of the State
Agricultural College, and the informa-
ton will be gathered through the
schools. The school teacher in each
district, with the aid of her pupils, will
fill in a QUESTIONABLE for each farm
in her territory. These questionnaires
go to the County Superintendent of
Schools, who summarizes them, places
them on file in his office and sends the
summary to the central state office.
None but government authorities
and those engaged in the survey will
have access to these records. There
will be no danger. therefore, of impro-
per use being made of the information.
