GASOLINE SUPPLY IS LARGE
Lands in This Country Which
Have Not Been Touched.

A group of oil experts may insist
that the gasoline supply is in danger
of exhaustion. hut there are others Of
apparently equal ability who ScOff

view, says MillstOnes.
In this country there are still mil
lions of acres of oil lands which have
scarcely been scratched. The Mexican
oil fields can increase their production
more than tenfOld once the transpOr-
tation difficulties are solved. Costa

rich in oil, and work Is being begun

GREAT DANGER IN GASOLINE

Vapor from a single pint of gaso-

HARM FROM RODENTS
IS WIDE

Notwithstanding 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 $150,OO0,00O 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. 1t
does not include losses inflicted
by house mice and Fats.

Cooperation Among Farmers
and All Authorities Concerned

CAMPAIGN IN NORTH DAKOTA
Moro Than 100000 Acres Treated In

100000 Aecomplished-Many
Counties Organized.

Crops worth more than $780, OO, 900
are destroyed every year by such rO-
dents rs 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 a cost which
Is but a 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
acres of valuable agricultural land in
the last four years through the coop
Grafton of thousands of farmers. De
scribing these campaigns federal spe-
c~ialists declare that the eagerness with
which farmers have awaited 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 eypecta-
lions. 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-producing areas
of North Dakota there has been devel-
oped the most extensive and thorough
ly 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 a 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 a 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 9S per cent
Of the animals on the first application.
Entire counties were organized in a
systematic voluntary warfare upon the
rodents, using the township as a con-
venient working unit. Poisoned grain
