KILL SQUIRRELS

BY combating ground squirrels Ida
no farmers saved over 81 O00-iI
crops during 1918. Twenty-Five coun
ties and 4025 farmers co-OperateC
with the biological survey of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
in stamping out the squirrel pest, and
as result 277,751 acres were cleared
of the rodents.
1t is estimated that this ground
squirrel eradication work In Idaho
saved at least 5 per cent Of the total
crops of that state which formerly
went to pay the yearly rodent tribute.
AS one farmer phrases 1t, II used to
consider that the squirrels had a
mortgage on % percent of my crops, as
they devoured one-fourth of all pro-
duced. Now after l have cleared my
farm Of squirrels, harvest and save
100 per cent Of all the crops grow"
In Bonneville county, Idaho, ia
farmers distributed 6,223 pounds OF
poisoned oats over ISL acres, and
as a direct and immediate result saved
1925 worth Of farm crops which
otherwise would have been consumed
by the squirrels. In the eradication
campaign, one farmer In this county
distributed poisoned bait over one of
his fields and less than one hour later
when he returned to the field he count
ed 27S dead ground squirrels, six rab.
bits and ten rock chucks which had
fallen prey to the deadly bait.

ROTATE TO PREVENT DISEASE
Ailments Increase In Activity Wheu
Same Crops Are Grown Yearly
on the Same Soil.

Practically every farm crop is az,
lacked by some disease which increas-
es In activity when the same crops are
grown year after year on the same
soil. Root rot becomes more prevalent
when corn follows corn. Smut In corn
Is intensified with continuous culture.
Potatoes are often attacked by several
plant diseases IL they are grown on the
same soil two or more years In success
sion. With proper crop rotations the
diseases do not have the same host
plant for two successive years, which
prevents them from gaining head

ATTENTION TO SETTING HENS
Nests Must Be Kept Free From Mites
Crude Petroleum Spray May
lnIure Eggs.

Great care should be taken to keen,
nests occupied by setting hens free
from mites. 1t is hard to work effec-
lively against the mites when many
hens are brooding. OIL In the form OF
crude petroleum sprays, used freely
about the house at that time, may soIf
the eggs and prevent successful hatch

should be treated thoroughly before
mems are set, so as to start them in
nests which are absolutely clean. Be
meath the straw of the nest a layer
OF lime and sulphur will tend to pre-
vent mite breeding, and the entire nest
may be busted occasionally with by
rethrum. Broken eggs and the straw
soiled BY them should be removed
promptly, as they tend to attract mitex.

solution is spread over u quarts OF
oats and mixed thoroughly in order to
coat each kernel. One quart of this
poison Is sufficient for 40 to 60 bats.
The material--scattered one teaspoon
full to place-should be distributed
along the clean, hard surfnces near the
squirrel holes where 1t viii not en-
danger live stock and where there Is
no chance for the rodents 10 waste
the material by tramping over II or
by covering II with refuse from their
holes. as would occur were the bait
to be placed directly In their burrows.
Control Columbian Squirrels
Columbian ground squirrels are not
controlled By this method Of eradica-
ton, as they hull oats very carefully
before eating them, and hence avoid
tie poison. Therefore a special method
OF preparing bait for these squirrels Is
used so that as they hun the oats the
poison fakes on In the rodents mouths
and kills them.
The Columbian squirrel bait is pre-
pared by combining In dry mixture
one ovnce Of powdered strychnine
(aikaloiD and one ounce of baking
soda, one teaspoonful of saceharin and |
three tablespoonfuis Of -four, adding q |
little cold water and stirring thorough |
ly to a smooth. creamy paste. This |
mixture Is distributed uniformly over
IL quarts Of oats as In the former
case, and the poison bait scattered as
previously described. This poison
should be used within 10 to IA DAYS
after preparation, as otherwise the ma
terial win dust of the grain.
Poison ground squirrels as early IN

According to the committee this de.
