TAKEN BY AGENT
County Agent Lee Reynolds
Starts Compiling Farming
Data for Federal Bureau
of Agriculture.

Crop acreage in Bernalillo coun-
ty is being surveyed for the fed
eral department of agriculture by
County Agent Lee Reynolds. Each
farm in the county will be investi-
gated by the county agent for the
purpose of learning exactly how
how many acres of land are being
devoted to the various types of
crops.
A form covering detailed infor-
nation Will be filled out for every
farm and forwarded to the depart
ment as soon as completed. The
crop census is being taken in all
counties of the United States and
will be used for estimates and con-
structive planning by the depart
ment during the remainder of the
year.
AS County Agent Reynolds is per-

WASHED
OUT BY RAIN IN
THE HIGHLANDS
Street Car Service Temper
lily Suspended; CuIverts
and Arroyo Bridges DAM
aged by the Water.

Considerable damage was done
city streets in the highlands last
night by the heavy rain, which
washed out a number of culverts,
damaged the bridge across the ar
royo at Copper avenue and Edith
street and flooded the streets with
water, which in many instances
backed into cellars.
Street car service temporarily
was suspended in the highlands
shortly after o'clock, three cars
being forced to stop on account of
water pouring down the streets.
Heavy washes made a number of
the streets dangerous for automo-
bile traffic last night and the roads
will have to be scraped, filled and
graded before they can be COM
fortably used again. The rain IS
reported to have been very heavy
on the mesa and in Tijeras canyon.
Tijeras road was heavy from the
rains Thursday, which are report
ed to have been worse than the
cloudburst which occurred Fourth
Of July and prevented Albuquerque
autoists from making the trip to
Estancia for the celebration.

HEALTH PURPOSES IS
DISCUSSED BY BOARD

A short cut in disposing Of the
road work salary budget was made
yesterday by the county commits
sioners when they decided to dis
pose of the entire matter by using
one voucher in place of the large
number usually made out. one for
each of the workmen. The single
voucher was made to the road su-
perintendent, who in turn will issue
the individual salary checks.

SCHWE IZER TELLS
ROTARY CLUB Of
INDIAN MYTHS

Mythology of the Indians of the
southwest was discussed before the
Rotary club yesterday noon by
Herman Schweizer, director of the
curio rooms of the Fred Harvey
system. The program of the lunch
con also embraced a talk by the
Rev. Hugh Cooper on the conven-
ton of the International Associa-
ton of Rotary clubs at Edinburgh,
Scotland.
Mr.. Schweizer pointed out that
mythology was like religion and
that the practice of a religious rite
was based on a past event. He
showed how a death among the
Navajos is handled in accordance
with the teachings of modern SAM
tary science.
when a Navajo dies" said the
speaker, "all the relatives leave.
They have come to fear the dead.
Their practice of burning clothes
is based on a fear of contagion.
They all leave the lodge and never
go near the body or house. Watch
ers take charge of the body, but be-
fore entering the house, they re-
move their clothing and smear their
bodies with lime. At the end of a
prescribed time, they bury the
body. Later the watchers enter n
sweat house and are cleansed."
He instanced how the eagle and
the snake have come to be more or
less sacred to the Navajo, although
the Pueblo Indians will kill either.
He told how the Navajos believed
that their ancestors arose out of
the Pacific and then showed that
a number Of scientists have traced
the history of that race back to
Monaghan lineage.
Reverend Cooper told Of the
great pageant with which the in
ternational convention opened. He
stated that greetings had been re-
ceived from the king of England
and from the president of the Unit
ed States. He discussed the ideas
presented at the convention relative
to incentives to attendance.
Reverend James Sheimer, of
Fostoria, Ohio, formerly a student
at the university and later pastor
of the Methodist church at Santa
Fe, made a short address on Ro-
tary work and ideals.
DR.. Boyd appointed a commit
tee to arrange for a Rotary trip of
inspection to the Boy Scout camp

GRE D|TORS Of

nounced yesterday.
The schedule of liabilities and
assets filed with the federal court
show total liabilities to $7,300.65,
and total assets to be $3,7SS.
About $4,000 of the liabilities are
unsecured, so that the assets will
probably just suffice to pay the
secured claims.

NEW POISON IS
DISCOVERED FOR
FIGHTING RATS
Biological Survey Chemists
Here Produce New Poison
From Waste Material; Is
Fatal even in Small Doses

Officials at the laboratory Of
the United States biological survey
here believe they have discovered
new poison which will enable
them to destroy rats and possibly
other rodents effectively. No poi
son method for the destruction OF
rats has ever been accepted before
for general field use by the bureau
of biological survey.
Experiments with the new poison
have bene going on for some time,
but actual use on rats was not tried
until a few days ago. The results
so far have been highly satisfac-
tory, it was stated yesterday by H.
e. Williams who, with S. E. Piper,
has perfected the new poison and
the method of using it.
The new poison is of extremely
virulent kind. and is absolutely
odorless and tasteless. These two
qualities make it especially valu-
able for use against rats, which
are quick to detect the presence of
strychnia or other common pois-
ons. 1t is thought that the new
poison may not be practicable Tor
use upon other rodents because OF
its extreme virulence and the dan
ger to game which might eat 1t.
Experiments conducted in the lab
oratory seem to indicate that the
poison proves fatal to every kind
of animal, even when taken IN
minute quantities,
The poison can be manufactured
in large quantities at almost no eX-
pense, since it is q derivative or
matter which is at present only
refuse. Manufacture on a large
scale will not be started for some
time. it was stated yesterday as
the bureau wishes to complete Sc
ries of experiments looking to the
further perfection of the method
before it is standardized and
placed in the hands of the bureaus
field men for general use.
The new poison will be used
chiefly upon barley, which has
given the best result in experiments
so far. The poison seems success
full also when used upon cheese or
flesh bats, but the barley has given
hest results and will be much
cheaper for extensive use,
The bureau of biological survey
has been searching for number
Of years for a cheap, efficient poi
son for use against rats. The old
strychnia formulas were not of
great value in the destruction of
rats on a large scale. chiefly be-
cause of the bitter taste and per-
ceptible odor Of the poison. Both
of these handicaps are eliminated
however. with the new poison, and
the cheapness of the material from
which the poison is derived will
render the process an inexpensive
one. Field work on an experiment
tai scale will probably be begun
shortly.
