FREEING IDAHO OF
GROUND SQUIRRELS

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 29.-By
combating ground squirrels Idaho
farmers saved over 81 ,250, 900 in crops
during 1918. Twenty-Five counties
and 4,025 farmers cooperated with
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
stamping out the squirrel pest and
as a result 277,751 acres were cleared
Of the rodents.
IL is estimated that this ground
squirrel eradication work in Idaho
saved at least per cent Of the total
crops Of that state which formerly
went to pay the yearly rodent tribute.
AS one farmer phrases it, II used to
consider that the squirrels had mort
gage on % per cent Of my crops as
they devoured one-fourth of all pro-
duced. Now after ] have Reared my
farm Of squirrels, harvest and save
100 per cent of all the crops grow"
In Bonneville County, Idaho, ia fam
mers distributed 1928 pounds of pois-
oned oats over 1871 acres, and as a
direct result saved Sal, 265 worth of
farm crops which otherwise would
have been consumed by the squirrels.
In eradication campaign, one farmer
in this county distributed poisoned
bait over one Of his fields and in less
than one hour later when he returned
to the field he counted 27S dead
ground squirrels, 6 rabbits and ten
rock chucks which had fallen prey to
the deadly bait.
Idaho farmers formerly used
strychnine sulphate prepared in a
variety of ways to poison ground
squirrels, but because this material
proved unsatisfactory, the use of
powdered strychnine (alkaloid) is
now practiced in the organized cam
paigns. This poison acts very rapidly
through the mouth and cheek pouches
instead of through the stomach. 1t
is prepared by mixing a tablespoon of
gloss starch in one-half teacup of cold
water and the stirring this combina-
ton into one-half pint Of boiling wa
ter to make thin clear paste.

"The obligation of every man, woman
and child out of uniform TO help feed
himself will be greater In 1913 than In
1917. Therefore the home gardening
and canning activities of last year must
be repeated"
This is the message Of the United
States Department of Agriculture to
every family. Those who cannot pro-
duce, can conserve and save food.
There must be no backsliding among
experienced gardeners; they must re-
peat their contribution of food. Alb
sence of novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
in 1917 from capitalizing their increas-
ed knowledge and skill. Those with
experience must make every seed count
to get satisfactory returns from their
work with hoe, rake and watering can,
There must be no Stacking off. Gar
dening Is everybody's business, but in
1918 everyone must-attend to that bust
ness.
And now a word of caution. Don't
try to raise more than you can use.
And water Systematically all spring
and summer. A few square yards
well titled will yield more than a half
acre allowed to run to weeds.
The department advises strongly
against effort by amateur gardeners to
produce truck crops for sale. Such en-
terprises commonly prove unwise, bur-
densome to all concerned, and not in
frequently financially Improbable.
Much precious seed and fertilizer
to say nothing of time and labOr-were
wasted last year in such undertakings.
The governments home gardening spe-
cialists believe that best results will be
attained If each family attempts to
raise only enough vegetables to supply
Its own table and to afford the surplus

Sow parsnip seed in drills from Is
inches to 3 feet apart, depending on
the method OF cultivation, about the
time of the last killing frost in spring.
The seed should be sown rather thick
ly and later thinned until the plants
are about 8 inches apart in the rows.
The parsnip requires very rich soil for
Its best development. The roots are
usually left In the ground during the
winter and dug as needed, but may be
harvested In the autumn, packed in
moist sand and stored in pits or root
cellars. Most people consider this
root improved by freezing, so as rule

The gardener who has provided for
the immediate needs of his family and
its canning and drying requirements
therefore should devote attention to
fall crops Of root vegetables such as
potatoes, beets, late turnips, carrots
and parsnips, which can be stored cas-
lily for later use. 1t also would be well
to give attention to the production Of
mature lima or other beans which can
be shelled and kept In bags.
