Climatic Conditions Affect
Ground Squirrel Campaigns

ceived by a six-mOnths' Information period.
Each year, long before the warm sun has
thawed the rodents into a returning con-
seriousness, farmers have started assembling
materials for the coming seasons poisoning
campaigns, in a relentless war OF eXCermln-
alton which will determine whether man
or rodents hall occupy the agricultural
areas Of Montana.
Most Of the s%trychnine used for mixing
poisoned bait is secured through the state
rodent control office and records for this
spring show that the winters luu has been
but another calm preceding the outbreak OF
a vigorous offensive on all fronts along the
far-hung battle line. Phillips county mas
laid in 1000 ounces Of the poison which has
proved to be the most efecti7e ammunition
in the battle with the rodents. Sheridan
has 1900 ounces, and Blaine and Danlels
have 1000 ounces each. Powell, Judith
Basin. Teton. Sanders, Pondera, Lewis and
Clark, Granite, Gallatin and Chouteau
counties have armed themselves with 5OO
ounces each. Many other counties nave
secured varying amounts of the poison to
be used on more limited rOdent-infested
areas.
Greatly to the disadvantage of the rod
ents the costs of the materials OF war to
the farmers are lower this year than FOL
some time. Both strychnine and ~sacchar1ne
two of the ingredients used in preparing
poisoned bait, may be secured at a low
figure. Consequently, farmers no longer
have a valid excuse for remaining neutral

er and lower. The colonel went out and
killed a buffalo, and it was the last good
meat they had. 1t then got down to a diet
Of beaver meat, and for several weeks they
lived on this fare, trapping one or two AMI
mails along the river bank every day.
Toward spring United States Marshal
William F. Wheeler arrived from Helena
in a mackinaw boat with one or two other
officials for the purpose of selling the
steamboat TO satisfy the claims against 1t.
On the way down the marshal had shot
himself in the arm accidentally with his
shotgun, and there was nothing to dress
the wound with at the fort, and not even
good soap to wash it with. Wheeler suf-
fered greatly and the injury was a long
time healing. The invalid had to share
the beaver soup diet with the rest.
When Colonel Norris took possession OF
the boat he took every possible precautiOn
to protect it against the spring flow or ice,
and built a bulkhead around the bow to
tprevent it being crushed. However, in the
spring when the thaw came, one side OF
the boat caught on the bank and it Slid
down partly under water and was in this
manner wrecked. A buyer for the owners
came down from Helena to bid as high as
$25, 900 for the boat if it was in good shape,
but as a result of the condition Of the YES
sci he did not offer anything, and the wreck
sold for $3.50.
The fees of the United States marshal and
district federal attorney came before Col
Onel Norris claim for his services as dep
uty, and he therefore did not get a cent fOI
! his winters work, and was out two OF
three hundred dollars in cash besides. BE
waited at Fort Peck till the first boat came
up from st. Louis in the spring, and went
on up to Fort Benton.

saw it, had gradually worked its way

n TOW is the time to "get" the
~ ground squirrels and prairie
~ dogs in Montana. They are
coming out of their long winters
sleep, are hungry, and since there is
little green feed available, will take
the poisoned bait readily.
In poisoning these rodents, climatic con-
ditiOns are an important factor. For most
effective poisoning the animals must DC
active and their activity at this time OF
the year depends largely upon the weather;
Cold, wet days find them rather hstless anu
not inclined to do much eating.
Another important point to rememDer IN
carrying on poisoning campaigns is ltnaC
all the rodents do not come out at the
same time. While a few individuals may
appear many others still may be sleeping
beneath the surface. Thus, II poisoning is
done too early only the early rlseEs VIII
be affected and the ground may nave 10 Ie
gone over again later on. For pest -eSuiIs
il is best to select a fairly dry perlou IOI
the work as rain weakens the bait ana
often destroys it's effectiveness.
Reports of county agricultural agents IN
the different parts Of Montana show tnat
there is a fairly we'll defined sequence IN
the appearance of rodents in the various
parts Of the state. Prairie dogs are tne
first to appear as indicated Oy Cne LaSe
winter reports of extension agents ana OD-
servers in Carbon, MuSselsheu ana otneI
counties Of southeastern Montana: COun-
ties in other parts of the state where the
Richardson ground squirrel predOminateS
next send in warnings that these pests
have appeared. Finally the Columbian
ground squirrel shOves his nose above
ground in the western areas of the state
where this rodent is most abundant.
The Columbian squirrel is the RIP Val
Wrinkle" Of the rodent pests Of the state
He holds the long distance sleeping record

the close Of August and does not appear
again until the following March.

Kind THESE plants are valuable, not only
because they furnish food for man and for

the cook never to open the door OF the

One night the dog started to bark turl'

for the improvement Of roads leading to

That the conference go on record as ur-
gently requesting the Great Western Sugar
company to install a dryer so that the pulp
can be utilized for feeding purposes at
greater distances from the factory. Lack
of livestock and manure is the chief cause
for low yields and losses to growers.
That organized efforts be made to re-

now not adapted to sugar beet culture.
That more intertilled crops be grown as
a means Of increasing yields of beets.
That a larger amount Of pasture, alfalfa
and livestock be produced as a means OF
increasing beet yields.
That beans be regarded not as a labor
comDetitOr for acreage with beets, but as
an aid to increased beet tonnage.
That the cooperative use OF bean mar
