of placing flowers upon the graves of
our soldiers with fitting recognition
in the celebration and commemoration
of their deeds, and to give thought on
this day to the ideals of the state and
nation and their problems"

The bounty system in the past has
usually proved both expensive and I'M
satisfactory as means of getting
rid of undesirable rodents or preda-
tory animals. The Biological Survey
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture has long advocated the
employment of trained hunters who
know how to undertake systematic
eradication work, and it employs a
special force of supervisory hunters
and specialists in rodent-control work
to organize campaigns in counties
where cooperation is essential to sue
cess.
Last year Codington county, S. Da-
kota, spent $4,000 in bounties for
various animals, approximately $10,-
Of it on f1ickertails, or ground squir-
rels. This year the Biological Sur
vey has delegated the leader of the
rodent-control work in South Dakota
to direct campaign against ground
squirrels. By the use of poisoned
bait it is expected that many times
the number of ground squirrels killed
last year will be destroyed, and that
the total cost to the county will not
exceed $3.50. On feature of the cam
paign will be week set aside as
"Ground Squirrel Week." to induce
general cooperation, and follow-up
work will be urged throughout the
summer. Each county commissioner
has made himself responsible for his
own district, and the whole campaign
will be under the supervision of the
county agent. This is the largest at
tempt at flickertail control that has
ever been undertaken in South Da-
kota, and the results will probably
induce other counties to follow Co.
dington next year.
