Effective Poison
Formula for the
Prairie Dogs

The time Ia limited for poisoning
prairie doRs as better results are
obiained while all vegetation is
dcad. II has been found that pois-
oning Is By fir more satisfactory
than the use Of carbon bisuphide
Wheat, oats, or maize may be used
IN preparing the poison and should
be put out NJ the rate Of about 2
pounds per acre. The grain should
be put on hard ground near the
mouth Of the hole and should never
be put in the hole. II ordinary
care il used there Is no danger Of
poisoning domestic animals. How
ever, extreme care must be used 10
keep chickens from eating the grain.
II might be better to trap the dogs
around the farm stead.
The method Of preparing the
poison IL ms follows:
Mix thoroughly | ounce Of pow
dercd strychnin (alknloidD and one
ounce Of common baking soda, (bi-
carbonate) Dissolve I heaping Ia
blespoonful Of dry laundry starch
IN y little cold water and add 10 20
"a pint Of boiling water Boil and
NIff NUiil lUINt flfHf VNHit " ToFln~
ed. Slowly sit the MIXTURE ~ stry-
chnin and soda into the starch paste
stirring constantly 20 form smooth,
creamy mass Add Ia pint of
heavy corn syrup and tablespoon
ful of Rlycerin and stir. Add i-i0
ounce ~ saccharnin and ngnin stir
thoroughly. Pour this mixture while
hot ov1r 10 quarts of clean grain
and mix until all the grain is coat
ed we'll.
n alkaloid strychnin is not avail
able. the sulphnte form may be
used. either powdered or In crys-
tails, but n win be necessary 20 uee
the following formula: Dissolve the
strvchnin in boiling water before
adding the cold starch. After the
poisoned starch paste IL clear. stir
IN the soda very slowly. Then add
the syrup. glyccrin, and saccharin
as in the above directions and mix
with the grain.
For mixing small quantities an
ordinary metal washtub may be
used. After the grain r. th~s r~e-
pared, it may be sacked up and kept
for future use.
The above formula has been plac-
ed with all the Drug Stores in Lub-
book for the convenience Of those
desiring the remedy.

Bailey County BOYS
Havoc With
Coyotes Out There

Muleshoo, Tex Feb Bone
year ago Bailey county offered a
bounty on Coyote scalps the bounty
NJ first was one dollar, which did
no, seem 10 stimulate the destruction
Of the coyotes, 20 IN September last
the bounty was increased 20 two
dollars, the effects u which may be
seen IN the following record
Ranchmen. farmers and farm boys
brought in 2O5 scalps. and two pro.
fessional trappcrs, u, Y. King and
W. G.. Murray, brought IN 1875, max
ing a total Of $40 taken In n year.
These two trappers In the short space
OF about five weeks caught the above
number, and they inform us that the
skins sold for an average sum OF
three dollars each. making the total
income TO them for the five weeks
amount 10 the sum of $4,000.
The number taken by these two
trappcra ia little more than month,
compared with the number taken by
the whole population IN twelve
months, illustrates the fact that, u
one expects 10 gkin coyotes, or his
fcllowmcn, one must first know how
10 catch them.
So these humble but useful citizens
having stopped those gaunt and skulk-
ing cmblcms Of poverty from howl
ing round the farmers doors, have
also driven the conditions which they
represent, further from their own
doors.
In a few more years, my noble sirs,
To an Empire we shall attain.
And the coyotes whelp win cease TO
yelp.

Farmers Urged to
Keep Supply Of
Feed On Hand

To Avalanche:
As you have taken so much in
teresf in the farmers problems, es.
pccially their marketing problems,
we want 20 congratulate you in
your suggestions in some late is
sues Of your paper, where you stat
ed one Of the most important things
for Lubbock 70 do was 10 establish
q better or real good market for
the products. All the products Of
the farm there are many features
Of this. We would like 70 discuss
through you valuable paper, but for
this time will only call attention 20
ono thing This section Of the coun-
try has been especially favored while
other sections have failed or par
tally failed. We want 10 suggest
that the farmers Of this section
slow Up in further selling Of their
feed, corn, maize, etc. until we can
see what this year will bring We
do not want TO discourage anyone
for drought nt this time is doing
no particular injury 10 any thing
except small grain which crop at the
best, can only be small one IN the
NUtif ttuflNf WIN iUf Nflii NiN'fr
poets for wheat the next 80 or 90
days will no doubt strengthen the
price Of the crop we have on hand.
80 there can possibly be no loss by
holding them. This year, maybe our
time 10 miss or at least 20 make not
a large crop.
We should let our minds revert
back 20 the story OF Joseph and
Egypt and not concluds that all
years win be fat years for the
South Plains My weather records
shows that from June 18th 1897 TO
April iith 1893, a period Of 10
months, lacking only days we
had no rain ht all, but when the
rains did come, we made n good ,rop
in nll lines except wheat, oats, ETC.,
so we still have lots of time 10
raise row crops. but ordinary pru-
dencc" a. the lawyer says. should
prompt us 10 not sell too close
the crops we now have. The coun-
try has produced enough TO meet
It's needs for years. why not hold
some Of this bountiful crop until
we can reasonably tell what this
years harvest viii be.

Ruth, unquestionably the greatest

ing the then worlds record, 81 in
1920. and So last year. His homerun
hitting has become so prolific that it
was suggested last season that he be
handicapped by being allowed only
two strikes or to bat only with one
hand.
Few expect that he will come near
equalling last years mark, let alone
establish a new record, considering
that one-fourth of his playing time
for the year is gone, although on
May 20 last year, Ruth had collected
only IL circuit smashes, approximate
