KNTKRPIUSK. June. 2. In suit,
of the concpited efforts of many
farmers, ground sciuiirels sOeni more
abundant than ever this season. .To ;
begin with, the winter was favi.r-,
tible to l he pests. There was not
a Chinook or a thaw from the first
cold weather to the last and so the
squirrels escaped one of their worst
enemies, the premature breaking up
which lures many creatures out i-i
their long sleep, to freeze or starve.
Then tho animals reproduced won
derfully and myriads of smaK squir
rels swarmed out several weeks ago.
Ne.irly every field of grain out "f
the irrigated valley shows the (K
struction wrought by the pesta, .vith
a strip of devastation around the
edge;. Some fields look almost as
if a swath had ibeen cut out by ;
mower alcng the fence. Where
ffplds tin to a point, as one does it,
U'ade gulch, the squirrels have come
in from both sidtfe and about take:
the crop.
In the spring; I. X. Gabrfelson of
the United States biological survey
in charge of rodent control, thoiuhl
squirrels nearly wiped out in the
county. However the warfare on
them was continued with un:ib:ited
energy, the county helping by sun
porting Homer It. Fleming in charge
of this part of the county agent's
work. Mr. Fleming has ben mi::iifg
and distributing poison grain all
spring uud has put out more th:m
5000 pounds. There is no telling
how many thousands of squirrels
have been killed, but thill they hold
their own.
They are the better able to do
this because of the breaks in the
ranks of .he fanners' poison squad.

Hundreds c batteries die of
thirst every year.
Not because their owners
didn' know water was necessary.
Not because they didn't know
the neglect was shortening bat
tery life and costing them
money.
But simply because they over
looked it hadn't the distilled
water handy or didn't know just
how much to put in.
We can't do your remembering, but
we can take all the rest of the job off
