USE POISON GAS
IN WAR AGAINST
PRAIRIE DOCS

Poison gas is the latest develop
ment in the biological surveys war
against the festive prairie dog.
Robert e. Luckenbill, chief Of
the rodent eradication department
Of the biological survey, returned a
few days ago from Union county,
where he has been experimenting
the bureaus operations and states
that the workers have been having
great success with "gas," in the
fora OF burning waste balls of car
bon disulphide.
More than a quarter of million
acres OIL land are being cleared of
prairie dogs by the biological sur
vey, in the five counties of ColfaX,
Harding, Union, Quay and Rooso
welt. Much of this Iand had been
treated in former years and the OPP
Ieratiors this year are in the nature
of cleanup" work, making sure
that the "die-bards' OF the prairie
dog army are Killed off.
In former years the operations
of the bureau used grain treated
with strychnia, and this is still
used for the preliminary work, be-
ing successful In killing off from
so to 9S per cent of the dogs"
There Is always a contingent of cid
veterans, however, who refuse to
cat, the poisoned grain, and ihese
are the hardest to get rid of. 1T is
"a Hill these that the survey mas
adopted the use Of "poison gas
methods
The poison gas used by the bu-
reau Is that produced by burning
carbon disulphide. The carbon d.
|sulphide, which comes In liquid
form, is poured on a small ball Of
waste This Is thrown down the
prairie dog hole, then the operator
drops a lighted match in after 1t,
holding onto his hat to keep 1t
from being blown off. The fumes
fill the burrow and the dogs turn
up their toes in disgust.
The bureau hopes that 1t will be
able to eradicate the dogs almost
completely from the five counties
in which 1t is operating by the time
lit stops work on October 10. A
short campaign next summer will
probably be necessary to gill off q
few scattered remnants of the for
mer hordes, but 1t Is believed that
IL the farmers cooperate fully the
major portion will be destroyed
this summer.
The bureau has been having but
little trouble, Mr.. Luokenbill states,
in demonstrating to the ranchmen
the necessity of completing the
destruction Of the dogs, for the
|ranchmen know the rapidlty with
which even a single pair of dogs
multiply into an entire village and
are generally anxious to aid in the
finishing of the fob.

CONWAY ASKS SCHOOL
PEOPLE TO SUPPORT
FIGHT ON TAX LIMIT

Santa Fe, Aug. 10.--Aroused by
the charge of H. j, Hagerman that
the state school superintendent
stands alone in his support of the
amendment to tax all levies, school
levies included, John v. Conway,
state superintendent of public in
struction, has issued a call to the
educators of the state to get into
the game and become active in the
fight now being waged on the
amendment to limit taxes.
Following is q portion OF Mr..
Conway's letter:
"Mr. Hagerman has come out in
the press with a statement that the
propaganda against the '~'eighth
amendment that is being put out
by the state superintendent is bad
and that it cannot represent the
consensus Of feeling among the ed
vocational people themselves, who
are sound and reasonable men and
women
"We cannot afford to let q state
ment of that kind pass unchal-
lenged. The fight against the
eighth amendment is in no sense
my personal fight, and 1t involves
the educational interests of the
state. 1t should be the concern of
every educator as a matter of prin-
ciple and also his practical concern,
because If this kind of legislation
is permitted to go on, then there
will be further gripping of the ed
vocational resources from the lower
schools up to the state institutions.
at is therefore not only fitting.
but imperative that every educator
in the state shall come out with a
bold positive statement against the
eighth amendment and also affirm
his support of the state superin-
tendent in this fight"

TAKES
STAND AGAINST
TAX AMENDMENT
Finds That Ten Mills School
Levy Limit Would Work
Hardship on 22 Out of 81
Counties in State.

Especial Correspondence to The Journal.l
Santa Fe, Aug, 10.-Reversing
his stand on constitutional amend
ment No. s, Gov. Mechem last night
advocated defea: or the amend
ment before the Clayton chamber
of commerce.
The governor said he was in
formed by John Joerns, education
al auditor, that ratification of the
amendment would seriously cripple
the public schools, after Mr. Joerns
had Investigated school finances in
practically every county in the
state.
The governor was given rousing
applause. State School Superinten-
dent Conway said that on account
of the more than $50,O0O,OO0 cut
in the tax rolls, four or five coun-
ties would have to levy Is mills;
five or six, Is mills, and more than
l12 counties, IL mills. Amendment
No. s makes the limit 10 mills, but
provides the tax commission can
authorize an additional mills.

A PRETTY NOSE.

|
1t Is always a misfortune when
the nose is badly shaped because
comparatively little can be done TO
improve it. That little, of course,
is important. In the case of the
mouth or the eyes the expression is
much more important than the
shape, In the case of the nose the
shape, which is almost always un-
alterable, is all important.
But the little that can be done is
fortunately not difficult, OF course
1 am not speaking of the operations
which are performed to correct
actual deformities, but only of the
things which every woman herself
can do First of all the nose can
be kept white, fine grained and
clear.
If you have red nose your d.
gestion probably needs looking
after, and you will have to treat
the affliction locally by rubbing
and tapping the nose to scatter the
congested blood. If you have
blackheads you should steam the
nose by holding hot wet cloths over
it, and then use cleansing cream, or
better yet, the blackhead cleansing
powder. A certain amount can be
done in the way of keeping the skin
fine and clear and white by mas
saying The nose from its top be-
tween the eyes to its tip.
During babyhood and childhood
an enormous amount can be done
by proper massage to change the
shape Of the nose But when one is
mature this is very much more diff
| ficult.
But even an ugly nose can be
made to seem attractive If the hair
is properly dressed. Experiment

ICHAVES COUNTY CROP
OF COTTON PROMISES
TO BE BIG SUCCESS

Roswell. N. M. Aug, 10.-Chav-
es county's Durango cotton crop Is
in excellent condition unless sonle-
thing happens between now and
picking time, the first real COM
mercial year for cotton in Chaves
county will be winner. A few
hundred acres were grown last
year to try out the crop. The fact
that 1t is a practical crop for
Chaves bounty was demonstrated
beyond a doubt. This year the
acreage of the county is estimated
at 1000 with a little more than
half of this amount being in the
Dexter-Hagerman district.
A gin will be In running order
In Roswell in time to take care of
the first picking, and the gin COM
pany is installing the right ma
chinery to preserve the long staple
OF the Durango variety. Estimates
on the crop at this time run all the
way from 1000 to 1900 bales for
the county.

COTTON ACREAGE
/. IN STATE half
Of 1920 TOTAL

Las Cruces. N. NJ. Aug. 10.-Dr.
R. F. Hare. agricultural statistician
in New Mexico for the bureau of
markets and crop estimates of the
United States department of agri-
culture, says that the acreage
planted to cotton in New Mexico
this year is only about half of that
of 1920.
"An acreage survey made by the
federal horticultural board in Dona
Ana county recently showed Az
acres in cultivation" he adds in
his report for New Mexico. "as
compared with 5000 acres har-
vested last year. Eddy county
this year has about 5000 acres in
cotton, while Chaves county has
1000 acres. These two counties
have fully 30 per cent Of the crop
of the state.
"The condition of the crop in
New Mexico is So per cent of nor
NAL. which is better than that of
any state in the union, except Ari-
zona."
DR.. Hare reports that the aver
age condition of all cotton states
on July rs was SAT- per cent, as
compared to ten-year average of
1874 per cent. The condition dur
ing July showed decline OF AS
points.
The present condition forecasts
a production of S,2Q3.00o bales,
compared to a production OF 49,
366, 900 bales in 1920. While the
reduction in acreage Is only 2S.4
per cent, the reduction in produc-
ton is forecasted at 1915 per cent.
The poor condition of the present
crop ia attributed to unfavorable
weather condition. to reduction
of about so per cent in the amount
of fertilizers used. and to the raw
ages of the boil weevil.
The acreage this year Is the
SMALLEST since 1900. There has
never before been so great a
change from one year. to another
in the cotton acreage. The yield,
as forecasted, Is 100000 bales less
than last year, and s,7SS.SS0 bales
less than the maximum crop OF
1914. It indicates the smallest
production since 1895.
