RODENT CONTROL in coLoRAp,

-
RODENT CONTROL IN COLORADO
For the past several years the U. S.
Biological Survey. through a coop
erative agreement with the State Col
lege of Agriculture, Fort Collins, has
been in cooperation with the State
Extension Service and Department of
Entomology for the control of ro-
dents destructive to agriculture, for
estry and grazing. The Extension
Service has provided ways and means
to reach the individuals through their
Farm Bureaus, County Agents, Stock
Associations and other local organiza-
tions, while the Department OF Ento-
mology has provided the necessary
laws authorizing the creation of pest
districts when such has been deemed
advisable in different localities for
the complete control and eradication
of special injurious rodent The De-
partmenf of Entomology has further
assisted in securing poison and other
supplies necessary in the preparation
of poisons which are sold at cost
through the respective county organ
izations. II has also arranged to sell
at cost to the individual farmer pre-
pared poisons for the control of his
particular pest. From the expert
tuBt tHdL lnt survey mas
gathered through its long years OF
study in these economic problems it
is therefore possible to render through
such organization the benefits and les
sons that It has acquired. 1t is gem
orally customary to arrange meetings
at which demonstrations In the best
and most practical methods of rodent
control, are explained. These are
somewhat in the nature OF an educa-
tional campaign so that the people
may know. 1t has proven that the
endeavor to circulate such informa-
tion through circulars. pamphlets or
bulletins, which set forth the results
OF experimental field work, is almost
hopeless failure. This is obvious
as the average farmer and rancher is
not content to sit down and read such
literaure. He wants to see results.
Furthermore, the most important
practical questions are generally
merely sighted in spch cases and the
reader Is generally mp in the air. so
to speak. after having finished 1t.
Hence II is apparent, IL the methods
