100000 Saved BY Killing Prairie Dogs

Organized poisoning operations We're

tested acres in New Mexico last year
under the cooperative war measure
work of the Biological Survey of the
Z. $. Department of Agriculture, the
New Mexico Council of Defense and the
extension service of the New Mexico
College of Agriculture. This included
the protection of 212.992 acres of crops
in all parts of the state. nearly 5000
landowners taking active part i'll the
work. The expenditures of the FEEDER
al and state governments and of CO.
operators totalled less than $50, 1000.
The actual cost for the treatment of
range land was less than four cents per
acre.
If average crop returns in New Mex
leo be placed as low as $40 an acre.
the savings in crops alone for his one
season is approximately 100000. To
this should be added the benefit from
the destruction of prairie dogs on over
Il million acres of range and the con
sequent increased value in crops and
forage for seasons TO come. Better or
ganiZation will result from the expert
ences of last year. and the Biological

light burden. 1t is about fifty per
cent greater per capital than the pre-
war debt of France, which we then
thought enormous. No doubt it will
be heavier when all our war obligations
are discharged.
A government that must spend a
billion a year in interest alone should
be required to exercise some reson-
able prudence about the other spend
ings. Congress is pledged to genuine
budget reform. We want to insist that
the pledge be honestly redeemed.
But that is not enough. The exec
