so doing they saved S465, 146 worth Of
crops, fruit trees and range grasses,
according to their own signed state
ments, which otherwise would have
been lost to rodent pests. In addition
to this, 217, 1907 acres of national for
est lands infested with prairie dogs
were cleared Of this pest and from rs
to so per cent more feed was thus
made available for live stock grazing.
In this state, year ending June so,
1927, it took total of 1888 pounds
of poisoned bait, or over a carload, to
kill the 3,935,0O0 rodents. In addition
to the poisoned bait used, over 5000
gopher traps We're required, besides
286 pounds of deadly gas.
The average taxpayer in Arizona
contributes about nine cents a year in
taxes which go into the $4,000 state
appropriation for rodent control, said
Mr.. Gilchrist, and every citizen in the
state can secure free poison for goph-
ers, prairie dogs, mice, rats, RABBITS,
or in fact any rodent, by mailing a
card to the U. S. biological survey
Phoenix, or by calling at the office Of
the county agricultural agent in Flag
staff.
In citing just what results may be
accomplished if real effort is put into
the control of prairie dogs, Mr. Gil
christ points out the complete exter-
mination of this rodent in Cochise,
Graham, Greenlee and ella counties.
In Graham and Cochise counties alone

took courage, perseverance and money
to get the last prairie dog. The peo-
pie of Cochise and Graham counties
fought with the department three
years to win the battle, which ended
on the 22nd day Of June, 1922, when
the last dog was killed"
Coconino county is cooperating with
the department and has PIT up $500
for thallium to be used on farms adj
Joining forest lands. In the Coconino
forest 123.140 acres have been treated
BY Specialist Z. M. Mercer, over 10000
quarts of thallium treated grain hav-
ing been used. Coconino county is
the only place in the state where thai
lium is used instead Of strychnine.
The farmers and government have
used strychnine In this vicinity for III
years in losing fight with the prairie
dogs. Mr. Gilchrist in explaining the
reason for using thallium said that
the rodents can consume a killing
quantity Of this poison before it takes
effect. With strychnine, however, the
noison acts quickly and many times
the rodent would consume only q suf-
fiicent quantity to realize that It was

It will be several years before suffl-
Gent funds can be secured to work

being made by the department to treat
those sections that need It worst, and
until such time comes when the sheep
and cattle men can stand the expense
of an extensive program Of extermina-
ton, running into many thousands oil
dollars, prairie dogs will thrive.

GOOD WORK KEEPS GOING

The battle against prairie dogs in

slowly bat surely being won, accord
ing to D. A. Gilchrist, biologist and
district leader of rodent control in Ari-
iona, who was in Flagstaff last week
looking over local conditions and con-

Ger.
Mr.. Gilchrist in commenting on his
work said that Arizona noxious ro-
