1000" GOPHER CONTROL
PROGRAM DISCUSSED

According to County Agent B. F
Robinson, the County Commission.
ers have budgeted for a gopher
control program using the new poi.
son called 1890. This will be the
second year the new poison has
been used. Last year it was used
chiefly in the north end of the
county, although some was put out
in the Libby area. This year it is
planned to poison those areas not
covered last year, and if possible
to carry out cleanup" program
or those areas poisoned last year.
Farmers who have used 1880 on
gophers praise it highly and state
they have never seen anything so
effective in controlling them. Eel
mer Moses at Eureka reports that
before putting out the poison,
gopherS were thick on his place.
After putting it out he reported
it was difficult to find a gopher.
If directions are followed in putting
out the poison, there is no danger
to livestock grazing in the area.
This program will be put on
with the cooperation of the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service The pro-
gram will be carried out with vol |
untary labor the same as last year. !
Crews will start poisoning on Nav |
10Th. Before poisoning in a certain
locality, the land occupiers will be
Notified to organize a crew to start
work on certain day.
