The first essential in making a
success of feeding out cattle in
order to get satisfactory return

ers to put in the feed lot.

GOPHER POISON
IS DISTRIBUTED

County Agent Ferguson has lust
completed mixing 10000 pounds of
gopher POISON which is now ready
for distribution to farmers and
stockmen of the coutny.
Mr.. Ferguson reports that the
gopher population of the county
doesn't seem to be on the decrease
as there is about tie same amount
OF poison consumed ca. b year for
the past few years. If anything
There seems to be more gophers
this spring than there has been for
several year. This is due to the
fact that very little poison was
put out last year until June and
July, which was after the new
crop was raised.
The best results are secured
when poison is scattered during
the month of April or before the
grass begins to grow as the 90
pliers eat it more readily. One
sack of poison scattered early will
do as much good as several sacks
scattered after the new crop is
raised. Poison will sell for the
same price per bag as last year
and may be secured from any of
the following distributors:
Farmers Grain & Trading Co,
Westby; H. N. Stenseth, Dooley;
Jacob Tweet, Comertown; Ray
mond Hardware, Raymond; Farm
ers elevator, Outlook; Ingwalson
Store, Redstone; Farmers Eleva-
tor, Antelope; Carl Hole, Reserve;
Leo's Grocery, Medicine Lake;
Farmers Elevator. Homestead Co
operative Store, Dagmar; County
Agents office, Plentywood; Coal
ridge Store, Coalridge.
Why not everybody make a con-
centrated effort to reduce the go
pher population to a minimum and
scatter poison early. Between ST.
200 and 81, 800 has been spent an
nually for poison for the past
eight years. By scattering poison
early in the season and by doing
a thorough job for one or two
years the expense of poisoning
would be greatly reduced.
