TRY OUT A NEW
POISON IN WAR
ON RAT PLAGUE
Biological Survey PerfeCting
New Poison to Take Place
of StryChine Preparations
in Use at Present.

One, hundred rats per night is a
better batting average than Tabby
ever made.
1t would probably be impossible
for any tabby to make such a rec
ord, but the biological surveys new
poison, K-4. is making this score
every night in the surveys cam
paign to make Albuquerque a rat
less city.
The biological survey started the
campaign several days ago, and
has been operating chiefly in the
neighborhood of the city dump
south of town, which is the breed
ing place for most of the rats
which infest the city. On the first
two nights in which the new poison
was tried out 1873 rats were killed
by the poison and found lying
about the next day. No doubt the
number would be much larger if
the number of rats which died in
their holes could be ascertained.
In addition to the K-4 poison,
the survey is also preparing to con-
duct experiments with a poison
containing other ingredients, which
is expected to be more effective in
the use against the rats than any,
thing heretofore discovered.
The new poison, the ingredients
of which are kept secret. will have
one big advantage over the K-4
and other strychnine poisons in
that it can be prepared so as to be
harmless to all other animals ex-
cept rats. This quality is always
a desirable feature in any poison,
since it enables the farmer who
uses it to be sure that he is going
to kill rats instead of White Leg
horn hens.
Notwithstanding the difficulty of
securing this quality, no poison is
ever issued by the biological survey
until it has been ascertained that
it will not prove harmful to other
valuable animals. In some cases,
however, the survey is able to kill
two species of destructive animals
with one poison. This is the case
with the coyote poison in use at
present. The poison is spread
upon grain, and this grain Is de-
voured eagerly by crows, SO that
in some cases the survey finds it
to kill off all the crows
in the neighborhood before it can
kill the coyotes.
The bureau is experiencing but
little trouble of this kind with the
K-4 rat poison now in use. but Is
anxious to perfect the product still
further.
1t is expected that immediate
relief from the rat plague will re-
suit from the poison campaign be-
ing waged at the city dump. since
rats spread from that. place to all
parts of the city and surrounding
farm lands, The plague of rats is
said to be greater this year than at
any previous time. due to the high |
water in the river this spring.

The Cause of Unemployment
BY OR. FRANK CRANE GCopyright 1921. by Frank Cranej

Since the beginning of this comic opera called Hu- manty there has been marked desire on the part of all the participants to eat their cake and have too.
 It can't be done, but each generation persists In trying.
 We refuse to link cause to effect when the cause does not hapen to fatter vanity fit in with our peculiar obsessions.
 The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor last August made demand upon the Federal and State Governments to help solve the unemployment situation by speeding up public works, erecting more public buildings and making roads.
 The Council predicts that unless some such remedy were applied the United States instead of feeding the starving people of Russia next winter, will have it's hands full relieving the famishing millions of this country
 The Council made the usual and expected appeal to the wage earners, organized and unorganized to resist attempts at wage reductions.
 It also protested against the concerted efforts of the expoters of land for the further reduction of wages of men who even today cannot live in decency and comfort.
 There is no doubt that the people in the country are hurt but they manifestly don't know what hurts them.
 They have the gripes unmistakably, but instead of quitting eating green apples they are calling for more paregoric.
 The falling off of production is not due to any conspiracy, but to natural laws.
 The basis of business is capital, as our socialist friends convincingly argue And what's the matter with production that people with capital not n vesting it in production.
 They are buying state, county water, sewer and foreign bonds.
 1t looks like taking money from the rich for the benefit of the poor when capital is overtaxed for going into industry But the argument is pure flapdoodle
 The rich slide out of it. They buy bonds which not taxed. Hence the factories slow down close down. Hence unemployment.
 Building public roads and buildings will not cure that It is like trying to lift ones self by the bootsraps
 If the labor leaders will direct their efforts toward the liberation of tied up capital and quit talking bo shevistic bosh about people trying to oppress them they will less resemble cat chasing its tail.
