PRAIRIE DOGS POISONED
 ON A LARGE AREA

TUCSON. Oct. 3O.-Thirty-eight thousand one hundre dand ninety-five acres of land were treated with poison during the month of September to eX- terminate prairie dogs. jack rabbits and gophers. D. A. Gilchrist. Rodent Pest Director. L. S Biological Survey reports this as having been done mostly in the northern counties with an effectiveness of approximately 90 per cent.
 Prairie dogs in the Garland unit are reported as having been complete ly exterminated and work on the Lyman Irrigation Project and the Prescott Farms Project. as well as the Perkinsville tract. made excellent progress MT. A. A. Perkins. the we'll known cattleman of Prescott. writes to D. \. Gilchrist as follows:
 There has been an old established prairie dog town near our headquar- ters at Perkinsville for many years. It consists of about 5UU acres with at least fifty dogs to the acre. These pests are so numerous that they were destroying at least fifty per cent of the grass and made the working ot cattle at our rodeo lot practically i'm possible A few weeks ago Nr. l.. l.. Laythe. representative of the Bu- reau of Biological Survey of the L. s. Department Of Agriculture and the | University of Arizona. visited our ranch and supervised the preparing and placing of poisoned grain on this area. with the result that the prairie dogs have been completely extermi' ncted. We have examined the area carefully and we are positive that there is not live dog remaining. i believe the work was successful fer the reason that two days previous ' t5 the placing of the poison grain Mir iaythe placed a teaspoontal of lh- imprisoned prebait al each hole and by so doing the prairie dogs got ac, oustomed to eating grain. aud when ] the poisoned grain was placed twc days later it fooled them. IL takes twice as long to treat an area with this method but it certainly pays tt get all of them and be done with the job forever.
 These methods have been carefully
 worked out by the Biological Survey
 after nine years of experience right here in Yavapai county, and I think
 that it is about time for the stoclkmer
 Of the county to wake up to the fac that they can double the amount O
 grass on their ranges by killing th'
 prairie dogs. Do not expect the gov ernment men to do all this work fol you. Take a real interest in the worl and have them teach you the methods
 SC you can handle the work yourself
 With the limited funds available it i
 only possible for the government t
 employ three or four men for this pur pose and these men are to demon strate The methods to farmers am istockmen all over Arizona. Consider
 iyg that We have around six milliol acres in Arizona infested with prairi . dogs, it seems to me that these me have a real job on their hands and
 think it is high time for the stockme to take a real interest in this matte
 ard clear their lands of the pest" The above work was done by the [ ] s. Biological Survey. co-operatin with the University of Arizona. Agr . cultural Extension Service.
