WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
IRRIGATION WATER
In A DRY YEAR?
Albert NJ. Day, Rodent Central leader

That's easy. Goes down a SPUR
rel hole. Breaks out fifty to a
hundred feet below the ditch, floods
the public roads; goes down some
drainage ditch, or worse yet, runs
out over the sage brush where it
does no good whatever. If you
don't believe it, try irrigating where
ground squirrels are numerous.
While driving along the highway
north of Cokeville last month, we
noted geyser-like streams
of water bubbling forth some thirty
five feet below a small irrigation
ditch. Examination revealed fifteen
ground squirrel holes spouting wat
er which was draining from the
ditch above, all within a radius of
fifteen feet of the central hole.
Soon two ranch hands came along
with an arm load of gunny sacks.
They informed us that they had
placed over four hundred sacks of
dirt along a stretch of forty rods
on this small ditch, trying to stop
the leaks due to squirrels. In one
case it was necessary to flume some
fifty feet which had been washed
had washed a hole three feet wide,
four feet long, and five feet deep
in the bottom of the ditch, drain
ing off all of the water which
should have gone to a field below.
Mr.. Bridges the superintendent of
the ranch. informed us that it
would be necessary to flume the
entire hillside unless the ground
squirrel activity was stopped.
When asked for his estimate of
damage by squirrels to the Quealey
ranch. Mr.. Bridges stated that since
he has been on the ranch, three
years, squirrels have caused loss,
by breaking bitches, loss of water,
and the resultant damage to crops,
of al least $1,000. The superin-
tendent of the Covey Irrigation Can
al Company stated that the share
holders in the Canal have spent
more than $4,000 repairing breaks
in the Canal, to mention nothing of
the loss in water and the shortage
during dry years.
These are only two instances in
a section twenty-five miles long
and five miles wide. These losses
are on the decrease, however, and
by next year should be practically
, nil. Crews of men are treating
the entire valley for the second
year, and there is certainly a vast
difference in the number of SPUR
rels now present and those to be
seen before the organized campaign
started.
C~o-operators Contribute Funds fol
Poisoning Government Lands
Federal appropriations have beer
so small during the past few years
that it has been impossible for the
Biological Survey to take care of the
, 1926-06-30

poisoning of many areas of public
lands which must be treated to give
the adjacent rancher adequate pro-
lection, and to allow him a full re-
turn on the Forest Reserve lands
where he grazes his herds and
flocks.
The Carbon County Woolgrowers
Association have determined to put
a stop to some of the losses on
such lands on the Medicine Bow
Mountains. After being told that
u department could not finance
the poisoning of the mountain park
for pocket gophers, they promptly
voted an assessment of one cent per
head of sheep to raise funds for
this work. Poisoning will be start
ed June 18th. under the supervision
of a Field Assistant, George Colwell
of this department.
In Fall River Basin, Sublette
County, the ranchers are furnishing
labor for treating Forest Reserve
lands for which they pay grazing
fees. One rancher has a crew of
ten men working poisoning his
Forest allotment.
We admit hat this is hardly fair
to the users of the Forest, but it
seems to be the only system pos
sible until Congress provides suf-
ficient funds for poisoning the Gov
eminent owned lands.
County Agents, Attention.!
Calls will soon be coming in for
methods of controlling jack rabbits
about fields of growing grain. AS
soon as the range begins to dry
up, the jacks will start moving to
greener pastures and then the real
damage will start.
Our recommendations are as fol-
lows:
No. 1 Salt ~Strychnine Mixture.
Mix one ounce of ~strychnine al
kaloid with one pound of table salt
dry. This should be exposed in
wooden blocks, made by saving a
A inch piece off a 2 X 4 incl plank.
With an liz or 2 inch augre, bore
almost through the block. leaving
a u like container. Fill this with
the strychnine-salt mixture, and
place along the rabbit trails leading
to the fields. Issue the warning to
Keep out of reach of Stock.
This poison will give excellent
results in some places and miser-
able results in others, but it is
! worth a trial.
No. 2 Alfalfa Strychnine Bait
Gather ten pounds of fresh green
! oIfalfo laouaC in tho 1atn affnrnnnn
and dust with one ounce of stry-
chime alkaloid and one-tenth ounce
of saccharin. The fresh leaves will
retain the strychnine without moist
ing. Place in handful lots about
the fields in or lear the rabbit
trails, or at the junction of two OF
more rabbit trails. out of reach OF
stock. This poison is good only
when fresh.
No. g. Oat-Strychnine Bait
AS soon as the oats begin tc
head, gather ten pounds of heads
and treat with one ounce of stry.
chime and one-tenth ounce of sac
charm. Dust dry if the oats will
hold the poison, or if not green
enough for the poison to adhere
stir the strychnine and saccharin
in one gallon of water and sprinkle
the heads thoroughly. Place about
the fields in the rabbit trails in
handful lots.
Also, If you learn of any other
green foods that the rabbits tc
be generally feeding on, please lei
us know. 1t might make a more
acceptable bait than . anything we
have found to date.

E7dyred Misery of
 Piles for Years
In Agony Most All the Timc-Writes
 This Grateful Letter.

@o2 Carolina street, Buffalo, \. Y.
 Gentlemen-I was afflicted with the worst case of piles that you can imagine. For years I tried remedy after remedy without obtaining any lasting benefit, and when the Ham adala Pile Tablets were recommend ed 10 mo l felt it would be only an- other useless experiment, but I was willing to take another chance as I had got 10 where I was in agony about all the time.
 After I commenced taking the second box I began 10 see results. and today l am absolutely cured of my trouble, and have almost forgot ten that l ever had the piles. Ham, alala Tablets have made a new man of me, and I want to do everything I can to bring them to the attention Of those who are suffering as I was.
 Very truly yours, w. STEDMON.

.BOUILL0N REVIEWS
 DEBT PLAN FIGHT
Will Precipitate Debate in Op-
 position to BriaDd

Paris, June II Pt-The political Armament again is becoming cloudy. On the one hand, the apostle of a ministry of all talents, Henri Frank lin Bouillon, who has been and still is trying 10 convert the reluctant Premier Briand to his viewpoint in opposition to ratification of the American debt agreement, announces his intention 10 precipitate the ques- ton by interpcllating the govern .ment on it's general policy at an early date, thereby provoking de- bate which may end disastrousIy. On the other hand. many deputies. principally members of the cartel ar. furious at tho rejection of a salary increase for deputies, for which they blame the government, Criticism of the government also is coming from Andree Tardieu of the foreign af- fairs committee. who is beginning 10 form a group in the chamber M. Tardieu has started a vigorous cam paign in the journals. He declares that thus far the government has done nothing but tinker with the f. nancial problem, instead of acting boldly.
 The motion made by the socialists in the chamber yesterday against pure and simple ratification of the Washington debt settlement appears to have awakened the opposition which exists in the various groups. The socialists desire the payments 10 the United States made in francs, the money to remain in France until there is actual stabilization of French currency.
 Many of the socialists hold that carrying out the agreement as it now stands would subject the coun- try periodically to money crisis and only serve 10 breed quarrels. Lu- cien Romier, an authority on econo- mics, in an article in Figaro points this out.
 By calling attention to this ob- staclo," says Romicr, and demon- strating the necessity of taking pre- cautions the French parliament will do a service to eVcryhOdy--to the American quite as much as to the Europeans"
 VI. Rerenger. the French ambas- sador 10 the United States, is con tinuing a quiet but active campaign for ratification of the debt agree ment He is working both among the senators and deputies and ex- presses the conviction that if the agreement once properly is under stood ratification can be rapidly se- cured.

IludCd Pursucrs
 When the British, French and Italians took over the entire admin istration of Constantinople in 1921 and closed the Turkish parliament, she was one of the first nationalists S the foreign troops attempted 10 cap ture. But she eluded them and in the disguise of q Turkish peasant woman crossed the Bosphorus in a market boat and made her way on foot and on horseback through the wilds of Anatolia to Angora. There she sat in the councils of the new government for several years and busted herself especially with di- recting educational affairs.
 Halide Edib Hanoum is little more than 4o, and is a wiry, cncr- setic little woman of great beauty and personal charm. She is a staunch Mohammcdan, although educated in school which is frank ly Christian. She believes that the education of the west can be har- monized with the teachings Of Ma homet 10 the great advantage of nationalist Turkey. She has two sons wEo are attending American universities.

URGES AMATEURS
 ID REMAIN SUCH
Little Theater Movement Is Ad,
 VoCated by HartWi8

New York, June II lP,-If the Little Theater movement is to suc. ceed, those within the ranks must be real artists and not leave to seek careers on the professional stage.
 So believes Walter Hartwjg, who Iour years ago started the Little Iheater tournaments in New York. the last three Of which were won bv the Dallas players.
 Hartwig looks forward to tbe dov when the Little Theater will be so well established it can provide re- mnneration for the members through lewiston of profits. At present he hopes to see the numer- ous groups begin nationwide tours and through their general excel lence enhance the spoken drama "on the road"
 By thls l mean the Dallas play CTS would go to San Francisco and other large cities for engagements Of a week each" he explained. Chicago. Cleveland, New Orleans. Louisville, the Carolina Playmakers and others would do likewise. Each could come to New York for q weeks run"
 Hartwig has been stago manager for Daniel Frohman for many years. He Is pessimistic about the present professional theater
 Tt has been moldod into form and everything placed on a business basis,' he gave as one of the req sons. Certainly, no thoater can ex- nect to progress when the mechanics back-stage are paid more than most of the artists.
 When a Little Theater actor or playwright achieves recognition and seeks added fame on Broadway, he only weakens his own organization and virtually has no opportunity for the accomplishment of anything worthwhile on the professional stage"
 In this conenction, he pointed out

SNOKI PEOPLE ARE
 READY FOR DANCE
Arizona Indians Prepare for Annual Event

Prescott, Ariz.. June II P-De- picting the dances and coremonials of northern Arizona Indian races. the "Smoki People" tribe" com posed of nearly 100 Prescott business men, will appear in their sixth an- nual performance at this commun- ity's Way Out West" celebration to- day
 The ancient. tribal and what are considered by some as pagan rites among the Indians are being discour- aged. For this reason the smoki have adopted the dances to preserve them for posterity
 The Somki have gathered 200 or more snakes for use in the snake dance.
 Begun in 1921 as q day of play for the community, the celebration since has been given over entirely to the presentation of a pageant program of number of characteristic dances and ceremonies of northern Arizona Indians. The Smoki have a costume and paraphernalia department which possesses more than $12,000 in out fits made in exact reproduction of the ceremonial garb and equipment of the various tribes.
 Since 1921 ten dances and cere- monies have been studied, dramatiz- ed and reproduced but the smoki snake dance, as it is called, always constitutes the finale of the pro- gram. The basic purpose of the SmoH People is to erect a museum and to engage, when financed. in the exploration Of all manner of anti quities of the southwest.

that Oliver Hinsdell. of Dallas brought four actors to New York last year and returned with two. Numerous players who had their early training in the Little Theater now are on Broadway-some en- ployed and others making the dreary round of the agencies.
 One of the encouraging features of the Little Theater to Hartwig is that not only is it developing actors but playwrights, directors. stage managers and scenic artists as we'll

TURKISH WOMAN
 NOW IN LINELIGHT
Halide Rose to Fame With the
 New and Modern Country

Constantinople. June Il P} -- Halide Edib Hanoum stands pre- eminent among the women Of New Turkey, the Turkey created by Mus tapha kemal and his associates in the nationalist movement.
 In fact, Halide Edib Hanoum was outstanding among Turkish women throughout the great war as well, in the days when the Sultan still sat on the shores of the Bosphorus and the new republic had not established its capitol at Angora.
 Drops From Sight
 Latifeh Hanoum spring into tenn porary prominence for L. time through her marriage to Mustapha Kemal. But her fame was short. and when Mustapha Renal divorced her she speedily dropped out of sight.
 For Is years Halide Edib Han oum has been an active leader in the movement for the rebirth of Turkey. She has stood out as writer, speaker and organizer and overshadowed most Turkish male leaders Her work chiefly has been done with men.
 As a moving spirit in the Red Crescent, the Turkish Red Cross. she took a prominent position in war re- lief work. She was the first Turk ish woman to graduate from the American Woman's college, and her mastery of English, French and Ger man, enabled her to deal advan- tageously with epresentatives Of foreign powers.
 Unhappy Marriage
 Her first marriage was an unhappy one. Her parents compelled her to marry man who was much her senior. But, unlike most Turkish women, she did not bear the yoke patiently. She obtained a divorce, an almost unheard Of thing in Old Turkey. She has since remarried and her present husband is Dr. Adnan Bey. a coworker in her ef- fort to put nationalist Turkey on firm basis.
 Halide Edib Hanoum had the ad- vantage Of many years residence ill France, England, Germany and Austria, and her novels and politi- cal writings have been translated into many foreign languages. She was the leading orator of inc Da- tionalist movement In the days when it was dangerous for Turks to make critical addresses and gained the title of the frebrand of the nation-
