RODENT CONTROL 1.
COMMUNITY PROBLEM

A. e. Oman reports that IN his t'av-
els through the county the past week
he found that insofar - Individual
land owners were concerned. all whom
he interviewed were unanimous In de-
claring the prairie deg costly pest.
With fexception, however, the
meetings 4hlk had been scheduled fail
ed to show wevidence Of any tangible
community tnterest. Busy times. ship
ping cattle. threshing. hAying. ETC..
were Of course mitigating circum.
stances. The Bay Horse community
called a special meeting for last Fri
day noon. The IL men present voted
to organise a rodent club and selected
John Wight N chairman.
There IL no question. states Mr..
Oman, hut that the prairie dogs take
. toll from Powder River county land
owners In destructicn Of crops and
forage that aggregates many Thousands
OF dollars annually. For instance. take
\ typical example. A man owns Sec
tion Of pasture land that should pas
ture at least thirty head Of old stock.
II cne quarter Of that section IL bad
ly infested with dogs the carrying
capacity IL reduced eight head. or the
full number would come in poor In the
fall. He carries q tand Investment
and pays taxes but tolerates big loss.
TO buy additional pasture for eight
cows would mean additional invest
ment and increased taxes. The "1cEs"
could be cleaned out by using y worth
OF poisoned oats and spending day
to distribute the bait.
But very likely there would be dog"
towns on two rides OF an aostaned In
tested pasture. There II where Mr.
Land Owner has a pecunlary 3nterest
in community effort. When he poisons
his 'tdogs' the neighbors would poison
theirs. That particular locality would
be cleaned up. In a similar way II
after one community takes the lead In
eradicating the pests. adjoining COM
munities take up the campaign and the
work can be expanded Indefinitely.
Many, counties in Montana have made
spa endid progress along this line and
the goal is to free the entire state and
prevent a loss that at this time ag-
gregates about $7.50o.ooo annually.
Organised effort. then. il essential to
accomplish lasting results. 1t Will also
make possible the supplying OF bait at
low cost. Where there are local or
ganixations through which cooperation
can be secured 1t is possible to place
free bait for use en- state and public
lands. There is everything to gain and
nothing to lose by community and
county cooperation.
