Tlio tall larkspur growing on
twenty acros or grazing; range on the
'Htoklyou national foreni, Oregon,
jwaH grubbed out by the cattlemen
) of he region In co-operation with
ilho foreist Borvice, curing the last
'gmJng bp a sort, according to a re
port received by District Forester
; George H. Cecil. This little patch
jof poinonou lurk s pur is the first
urea to be eliminated by this meth
;od in Oregon. It hat been respon
sible for a yearly loss of cattle val
ued at $280. The grubbing out op
eration cost 1200.
A similar 'area on the Miriam na
tional forcRt which, , for the last
! seven years lias caused an average
.annual loss of cuttle valued at $427,
! will be grubbed next qeason by. the
of $300.
The value of cattle lost on the na
tional forests of the United States
from tall larkspur poisoning during
the past year was 5125,050, represent
ing 2000 head of cattle. During the
previous year losses were reduced $15,
850 by the grubbing out of larkspur
from 380 acres. The average cost of
eradication is about one-half the value
!of the average annual loss. Since the
loss is continuous from year to year
unless the poisonous plants are eradi
cated, it assumes an enormous value
in a few years.
Tall lartvspur is a plant similar in
appearance to tho larkspur or delphin
ium of the flower gardens. Tt is re-
j sponsible for more loss to range stock
man any otner poisonous pium vnui
grows on- the western ranges. Where
its presence in large areas is known'
in the national forest ranges, the
poison areas are sometimes fenced to
keep stock away from it, but wherever
the areas are smaller so that the total
cost of eradication is not prohibitive
the complete grubbing out-of the plant
is the more satisfactory treatment.
The grubbing out method for eradi
cp.ting larkspur was developed by the
forest Bervice during 1013-14 on the
Stanislaus national forest in Califor
nia. It is now being used extensively
by the forest service and stockmen in
several western states.

THE DRUG HABIT
AMONG AMERICANS
(From Tho Outlook)
' Whim wo speak of tho drug habit
in America, wo lire npt to think only
of opium or cocaine. And yet there
in nnothor drndly drug Unit is attack
ing tho lives and morula of men and
women on this continent.
The drug In poyoto, and tho men
nnd women are Indians,
l'eyolo Is obtained from. tho roots of
a cactus (of which it is the Indian
nmne) known to botanists as Anha
Innlmn I.owinli, Tho narcotic drusr
thtiB obtained produces results upon
the usor somewhat analogous to thoso
produced ty opium. We quote from
some vouched-for statements in the
files of tho department of the Interior:
"My name is l'a-na-ro. I am a 1.1-piiu-Apnrhe;
