Will Hold Meet
ings Next Month
AT Saratoga and Encampment for Pur-
pose of Mixing Rodent Poison For
All Ranchmen Desiring 1t.

Following is the copy of Il letter re-
ceived this week by The Sun from the
Biological Survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in regard to
meetings to be held in the valley next
month:
There have been so many inquiries
from Saratoga and Encampment
ranchers about rodent poison that we
have decided to hold meetings at these
two towns and mix up the poison for
all who desire it. We have according
ly set aside May 10 and IL near En-
camrment and May II at Saratoga.
I'VE will plan On holding an all-day
meeting where each man car bring
his grain to be treated. We will fur
nish all poison ingredients and place
the treated grain in labeled bags at a
cost of 12hc per pound. Strychnine
for the poison will cost them $1.OO per
ounce by this means. That is, we fur
nish the poison and other ingredients
at greatly reduced rates and place it
on h grain for 121Ac per pound.
Each man mus bring his own oats,
figuring one pound for each 2 acres of
prairie dog i%nfestation and the same
for each 3 acres of ground squirrels.
Oats must be heavy, clean and free of
weed seed. We will refuse to mix
dirty, chaffy grain.
The poison will last indefinitely
and is good at any time Of the year.
Many want to poison now, but May is
soon enough. We find it is better to
wait until the weather is settled and
all rodents are ont of Information.
This date should be very satisfactory.
n meeting place has been ar
ranged for, but we will care for this
at the time Of the meeting and notify
all stores so that the ranchers can
easily find where to bring their oats.
Full instructions for s will be given
with each ORDER

Ample Water For Irrigation Guaran-
teed by Frozen Moisture Stored
In the National Forest.

Reports from the forest ang who
read the snow scales on the Medicine
o national forest nave been received
for the readings made ut the end of
March.
The cumulative depths at some of
the scales are less tina last year,
while others are greater. Ranger
Torgny reports a maximum of So in
cheS, with II water content of % in
ches, on Deep creek, and estimates the
average depth on the upper reaches of
the forest at 80 inches, and on the
lower portions at 10 inches. Ranger
Bode estimates al average depth of 60
inches, with a high water content on
the west side of the forest. Ranger
Henry, of the Fox Park district, re-
ports u inches in the foothills, and
10 inches ut an elevation of 1000 feet,
with a water content higher than usu-
nj. Ranger Williams reports from 20
inches to 70 inches on North Fork. and
on Nash's Fork and states hal there
are nov drifts go leet in depth in
many localities.
During the month of December con-
siderable snow fell and was well set
tied and packed by a warm spell fol
lowing; again during the first ten
days in January the snow fall was
heavy, h depth at o lark on Jan
uary 10th being in excess of 80 inches,
which had been settled to 80 inches
on January 31st. There followed the
january thaw," accompanied by mild
weather up to the end Of February and
then in March occurred a stormy per-
iod of about three weeks. When the

this period, the cumulative depth was
learly six feet. which rapidly settled

Of Snow Near Northgate.
7From Laramie Republican,

tAA
The train over the Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Eastern arrived from Wal
den at IL o'clock last night. The
track has been blocked with snow and
ice for several weeks, this being the
first train through since IN February.
No sooner had the snowplows managed
to get the snow away than n landslide
occurred near Northgate, which still
further blocked the road and caused
further delay. A mass of snow and ice
thrown onto the bank by the snow
plows was loosened, and when IL came
down IL brought hundreds of tons Of
dirt and stone, which covered the
track and neccssitated removal by
shovels and picks.

Packing Interests
Benefited By Act
The law, in Operation Since August IL,
1921, Designed TO Prevent and
Correct Irregularities.

After months of a~ntagonism, and the
delay caused by the test of its consti-
nationality, the Packers and Stock
yards Act is now established on a
solid basis and its administration is
contributing directly and effectively
to the good of the livestock industry.
Secretary Wallace of the Department
of Agriculture in Il state
ment recently made public. Some
noteworthy achievements have been
recorded and leaders in the livestock
and meat industry declare the act has
brought about friendly and better con-
tracts between the packers, producers,
exchanges. co-operatives, and stock
yards companies.
One of the most striking develop
ments is the informal and promptly
effective manner in which most COM
plants are being settled. That phase
of the work of the Packers anu Stock.
yards Administration, Mr.. Wallace
says, is the reason for. as well as in.
dicative of, the confidence placed in
its men by the various interests con-
cerned.
The law, in operation since August
10, 1921, is designed to prevent and
correct Irregularities and abuses such
as unfair, discriminatory, or deceptive
practices, the control of prices, and
unjust rates or charges in the live

Peterson has calculated the time
necessary for these movements so
that it comedies with the elapsed
tibe between the starters ready
and go" Thus the racer, without
hesitation in the motion. slightly
bends or relaxes the knees as his
arms approach full extension, and
dives forward coincidentally with
the word go but without waiting
for it. This retains the full force
added through the upward arm mo-
ton.
The diver enters the water at a
distance of some seven to nine feet
from the starting spot and can, in
races where desirable, stay under for
a distance of approximately 80 feet,

ing most of the power for that dis
lance.
Also, declares Peterson, little
practice will give perfection in regu-
lating the depth or shallowncss of
the dive.
