Pest Laws Supreme in the Campaign
Against Hoppers

The spreading Of the arsenical poison
for the elimination OF the grasshopper
pest has brought about threats on the
part of some of the highline growers
who are raising turkeys that if tteir
neighbors put out poison and it kills
the turkeys they will bring suit for
damages. This has caused some Of the
growers TO hesitate about continuing
the fight against the hoppers, and one
man, we hear, has decided to cut it
out altogether.
The question was put up to the
county attorney. who states that there
is no ground upon which the owners
OF chickens and turkeys can secure
damages; that the pest laws protect
the farmers who are entering a cam
paign to eradicate the pest which
threatens to destroy all their crops.
Those raising turkeys must take care
to see that they do not trespass upon
the lands of those who are using the
poison-every land owner may put out
ptiHoH upon ms uWu pi'iihstS "iehput
conflicting with the rights of any other
person.
In the case of the destruction of the
codling moth pest, the officials may
enter upon the premises Of any person
who is not following the regulations
and do the work at the expense of The
owner, and presumably if there is land
where the hoppers are not poisoned
end are n menace to the neighbors,
the officers can take steps to destroy
the pests.-Grand Junction Sentinel.
The above from the Grand junction
Sentinel is reprinted as a matter Of
information for sections where grass
hopper poisoning campaigns are in
progress. The State Entomologist's
office at Fort Collins has traced down
reports OF deaths among fowls on
several areas where poisoning cam
paigns have been carried on in the
past and always found them ground
less. Fowls can eat lot Of poisoned
hoppers without being affected by the
arsenic This is aside from the legal
issues involved and on which the
county attorney above quoted has fol
lowed established judicial opinion

del NOrte and Sterling Land Offices
Retained

The bill continuing certain land
offices which were slated for consoi-
idation with others has now been sign
ed by the President, having been acted
upon by the House on June 28th. This
means that the Colorado offices Of
Del Norte and Sterling will be retained
through the combination of the posi-
tions of register and receiver.
All three OF the republican congress-
men from our state engaged in lively
debate which preceded the passage OF
this bill on the floor Of the House.
Mr.. Hardy plead for Del Norte.
pointing out that this land office dis
trict was greater in extent than the
states Of Delaware and Rhode Island
and contained 492.7O9 acres Of unap-
propriated land.
Mr.. Timberlake was equally interest
ed in Sterling. bringing to bear on the
subject fund Of Knowledge obtained
through personal experience. He was
himself homesteader in eastern Colo
rado inlSS5 and could testify to the
hardships Of that life. In addition Mr.
Timberlake served for seventeen years
as receiver Of the Sterling land office
Congressman Vale in making a gen.
eral survey of the situation stated:
"The whole country, from east Of the
Alleghaneys, was built up by enter
pricing people who moved to the public
lands and established their homes there
and anchored themselves to the soil,
so much so that now there is we're little
agricultural land left in the country
which is at the same time both good
and cheap. Right in that connection
let me call attention to the fact that
this is large part Of the trouble with
our population today. There is not
inducement enough to take up new
land and make it productive. There
is not much Of it left which is attrac-
tive to the poor man. We have had
to increase our homestead preemption
law from 100 to 320, and then to $40,
because there is not much cheap land
left Of which less than full section
will support a family. OF course we
have good land, but the good land is
expensive land, or it costs Il great deal
OF money to irrigate it. This economic
land situation is really at the base of
our immigration problem.
"Now it is the main and primary
purpose of land offices to help estab-
lish American people on the relatively
small amount Of cheap and at the same
time possibly productive land available
for the poor man. OF course, few
officers are necessary in order to ex-
tend this assistance in order to do
this work, but the salaries Of those
officers are paid entirely-not by gen
eral taxation with which you are just
' iy concerned-but by the poor little
fees which the homesteaders pay for
the service which Is rendered to them.
