THREE TONS OF
GOPHER POISON IS
MADE AVAILABLE

To date approximately three tons
OF gopher poison have been mixed
for use in Gallatin county, says R.
E. BOdley, county agent. The rapid
ity with which farmers are purchas-
ing this poison and scattering it over
their fields indicates that the impor-
tance of early poisoning is appreci-
ated. AS many as 70 sacks are be-
ing bought in a single day.
The price is Is cents a sack for
the single strength poison and SIPS
a sack for the double strength. Each
sack will poison several hundred
gOphers, and since it is estimated
that each gopher may do 25 cents
worth of damage, the saving through
the use of poison is considerable.
A large percentage of land owners
are voluntarily doing the work, but
in two instances land owners are pc
titiOning for the appointment of 4
gopher exterminator who, if given
authority by the county commission
ers, is authorized by law to enter up
on lands within his district, poison
the gophers and charge the cost OF
the poison and his time to the own
ers Of the land covered. The fact
that this method is rarely necessary
is a tribute to Gallatin county farm
ers.
Poison may be obtained from any
of the following-named distributors
who are cooperating to the extent
of handling the material without
charge for the convenience Of farm
ers in their respective localities:
Salesville State bank, Gallatil
Gateway; The Belgrade company
Ltd, George Heck, and Owenhous
Hardware company, Belgrade; Man
haitian State bank, Manhattan
Adams Realty company, Three Forks
Earl S. Parks, Willow Greek; A. I
Rote, West Yellowstone; and at tn
county agents office, Bozeman.
Best results are obtained, Mr.. Boo
ley points out, if the poison is pI
out before green grass starts and b.
fore the young are born.

Speaking before the students Of

Protestant prayer had fallen short

Catholic rosary provided definite

advantage by other churches.
"protcstants are continually being
urged. but seldom told. how TO
pray" Or. Beebe said. with the re-
suit that the mind is permitted "a

The only difference between
