RODENT T LAW
PASSED BY L~EGIsLATURE

q ANN0ASA
rhe Seventeenth Legislature enact
~ many laws for the benefit Of the
AGRICULTURAL interests Of the State,
hut few Of them are Of more import
ance than the n providing for the
control Of injurious rodents. Prairie
dogs, ground squirrels, pocket goph-
ers, ETC., have each year exacted q
toll of over . half million dollars by
their depredations in this state.
Farmers and ranchers have carried
on individual and united campaigns
of destruction year after year. but
the great of public, school and
nonresident lands have served ia
keep the country constantly supplied
with the pests.
The law enacted provides that
when q majority of the resident
landowners owning at least IS per-
cent of the lands withing the bounds
OF the desired district, petition the
County Commissioners, it shall be
their duty to declare the lands to
be a district and to proceed to con-
a4Iol the pests. The Commissioners
provide for a County Inspector who
serves notice on every tract of land,
giving the owner Is days t o destroy
the rodents. II there are any live
animals at the end of that time
he kills them and the charges for
the work are a lien On the land, to
be collected the same as other taxes.
The districts may be Of any size,
as long as they meet the require
ments and are approved by the
Commissioners. Poison will be
furnished landowners at cost. The
county agent will have charge of
the work in the County. The U. s.
Biological Survey will cooperate in
prescribing poisoning methods, as
sisting the County Inspectors in their
work and any other means possible.
This law will supply. for the first
time in the history of the State,
a means of forcing the nonresident,
the railroad companies and the
State to poison their lands. The
resident landowner is always willing
to poison his rodents but his work
is practically lost unless all OF the
land surrounding him is poisoned
also. The new law assures that this
will be done after the district is
formed. 1t cannot be an unjust bur-
den. for the law specifically states
that no charge shall exceed Is cents
e acre, except in the case of pock-
ct gopher control, when It may
reach 25 cents per acre. The in
creased value Of the land will justify
such An expense.
Anyone Interested should get in
touch with the County Agricultural
Agent Of the County in which he
lives. They will soon be able to
supply the blank forms for petition
formation on how the work should
ing the Commissioners and give in
be organized. Residents OF any Coun-
ty where no Agricultural Agent is
employed can secure the petition
blanks and such information as can
be supplied by writing to the U. 8.
