TO KILL PESTS
If New Mexico Prairie Dogs
Don't Eat Poison, They
Are Ceased.

Santa Fe, n. NJ. June THE war
that is being waged on the prairie
dogs in New Mexico under a cooper
alive agreement between the United
States Biological survey and the state
council Of defence. each devOting S25,-
600 10 the purpose, is meeting with
success all along the line and viii
be kept W for the rest Of the year.
with the end in view Of destroying
one OF the most expensive pests that
harass New Mexico farmers and stock
growers. As high as 9S percent OF
prairie dogs were destroyed in one
settlement with one application Of
the poisoned grain and the average
runs 80 percent, the lowest being 70
percent. the diminished effectiveness
being caused by a rainstorm which
came up after the grain had been
placed.
The work is being carried into
every county. The average cost OF
Riding a section Of the pest is only
four cents an acre and the eradication
is permanent If care is used after the
animals are killed out Here and there,
baceuse Of the use OF inferior oats, a
few birds who ricked up poisoned
grains, we're killed, but that loss IS
infinitestimal compared with the good
resulting from destroying the prairie
dogs
Prairie Dogs Are Gassed.
Preferably clean oats, steam rolled
barley is used, which the prairie,
dogs regard as a delicacy while the
birds pass il up. If after a second ap-
plicatiOn. any prairie dogs remain
their burrows are fumigated with a
heavier than air gas which kills the
very last one Of them. AS the fuml-
cation is costlier than the poison
grain method and more cumbersome
IL is applied only as the last remedy
The method employed in New Mex
Eco is the result Of intensive research
work and study, and is the very best
means devised for Riding the state
Of this expensive pest Farmers and
other owners Of land are cooperating
with the official agencies in stamp
ing out the prairie dogs and are thus
saving a large amount OF crops
towards winning the war which would
otherwise be destroyed

These figures would indicate that the
high-class amateur trap shooter is just
a shade better than the high-class pro-
fcssional. There was time when the
professional trapshot had II all over the
amateur-but that was in the long ago.
Trapshooting has been taken up by
the athletic associations in the eastern

has been formed among the employees

These Yards will be represented by

WEIGHT RESTS ON
AMERICAN FARMER

Upon no one class rests greater
responsibility than upon the Ameri-
can farmer, who with his wives and
sons and daughters constitutes one
third of our population. He has the
viding food for the nation at home,
food for the fighting men abroad, and
food for our allies in the battle line
and their civilian population.
England, with millions of acres of
parks and hunting grounds converted
Into farms can only raise crops to
feed her people half the year. France,
with every man in uniform, and
nearly half her fields overrun by
armies, does even less.
With her grain fields extended by
millions of acres of new land, Ameri-
ca is responding to the call and allied
hunger will never be an ally to Ger
many. Billions. of dollars Of Ameri-
cas- huge war loans are coming back
to the farmer in payment for his
grain and stock.
The farmer, for his future honor
and standing in the nation, must see
that every penny Of this sum he can
spare is reinvested in war loans.
The Fourth Liberty Loan, now upon
us, calls for but portion of what
America must spend in war efforts in
the next few months. 1t must be sub
scribed promptly and overwhelmingly.
That "the man who is not for us is
against us" is as true now as when
It was written centuries ago.
If YOU buy fifty dollar bond
when you COULD BUY a five hun
dred dollar bond, you are not doing
