deadly ut'cdinjr. This is the announce

I Thousands of dollars' worth of crops
and valuable forage on the cattle
ranges arc destroyed annually by the
pinirie dogs, Gilchrist staled, and
they propagate so rapidly that jt it
i necessary to wage constant warfare
ngainst limn. Thousands arc being
killed daily by the state and federal
workers, but the prairie dugs continue
to jrruw i number, so u Ueiuendou.
ei'l'oi t has been planned for this month
t i cut them off. It is esti muted that
the poisoned grain will do away with
per cent ot those on the acreage,
treated.
Statistics show that on an average
tin-re arc fifteen prairie dogs to tin
m re. Kach one usually has from three
to five burrows. A colony of the pests
can ruin a field completely in a short
linn-.
The success of the work so far, Gil

efforts of the live stock and farmers'
