ERADICATION OF
RODENTS IS AIM
OF BIG CAMPAIGN
An enthusiastic meeting of the com
munity leaders of Clackamas county
took place in the county courthouse
Monday when rodent control on farms
, in this territory was discussed and
plans made to eradicate the pest. Ira
N. Gabrielson. government official in
this section for the purpose of fur
thering the campaign, was present
and remarked that the meeting was
one of the best of its kind he ever had
the privilege to attend. S- A. Cord
ill presided.. t
It was voted to start the rodent
control campaign in this section May
22 and continuing until May 28, when
every farm in Clackamas pestered
with the -gray digger" will be visite 1
and poison distributed over the land.
It is planned to distribute 175,000
pounds of specially prepared squirrel
poison in Clackamas county this' sea
son, and as there are approximately
3800 farms in this territory, each
farm will be alloted the necessary por
tion to eradicate the pest- The poi
son to be distributed is a specially
prepared wheat, so fixed that stock
or animals other than squirrels eat
ing the poison will not be affected
therehy. The reason that the May
date has been set for the eradication
of rodents campaign is that the "grey
digger" or squirrel is most active at
that season.
A petition will be presented to the
county court .asking that body to de
clare this county a rodent pest dis
trict. This is for the purpose of
securing state aid in the campaign ac
cording to law, and under the statut-3,
every farmer in the county who ownes
land where rodents are found, will
be compelled to place out poison for
the pest and conform with special
rules and provisions made for th-i
eradication of the pest. The special
ly prepared rodent poison can be se
cured from the county agent at a
cost of 25 cents per pound. The
Clackamas County Farm Bureau or
ganization will be asked to appoint i
a leader from that body to head the
campaign committee. According to
figures shown by authorities, the
squirrel or "gary digger" does dam
age to the extent of $1 per year for
every rodent and that the squirrel
can be poisoned for a fraction of a
cent. The slogan for the eradication
campaign, as adopted at Monday's
meeting will be, "The Gray Digger
Must Go." Thirteen other counties
in the state of Oregon are under the
rodent control law which is be
ing rigidly enforced.
Community leaders of Clackamas
county attending the session Mon
day and who will take an active part
in the campaign were: A. E. Ander
son, of Col ton; O. E. Frentress, of
Union Hall; G. A. Kohl, of Logan; F.

10 I. W. W. Start

color of the meat is one of the best
indications of age. The lean meat of
lamb ranges from pink to light red,
but as the animal grows older the col
or of the meat turns to a deeper red
This is also true of the thin strip3
of lean meat covering certain por
tions or the carcass The bones m
lamb are smaller in proportion to the
meat and usually present a reddish
appearance. The bones in a matured
sheep are not only larger but whiter
and more flinty both" in appearance
and texture. If the whole carcass
can be seen the ribs in a - matured
sheep will shop a much more pronoun
cej spring or bow, whereas those of
a lamb are straighter .giving the siae
of the carcass a mort compact and
less distended appearance.
One of the standard methods - of
distinguishing lamb from mutton i.
to inspect the first or ankle joint ot
the front leg. In dressing a lamb
the knuckle or end of the shank bone,
is broken off and the end of the lei.
presents a ridged and porous appear
ance. This is soft and moist to the
touch and oarries a decidedly red
color. As the animal grows older
the bone becomes harder and whiter
and the knuckle becomes more firn
ly attached to the bone. This is the
condition during the yearling staga.
The knuckle still breaks off but when
this occurs the end of the shank bone
presents a hard, rough appearance
and has lost much of its "red color.
When the lam'b has passed through
the yearling stage and has become a
sheep, the bone has become so ossi
fied or hardened that the knuckle no
longer breaks-off the end of the bone
and separation of the foot from the
shank is made at the ankle joint.
Thereafter the knuckle normally
forms the extreme end of the foreleg
and presents a hard, smooth, white
surface with two prominent polished
ridges. In the case of mutton the
knuckle is frequently broken off by
mechanical means in order to give the
carcass a resemblance to yearling or
Iamb, but in these instances the bone
is decidedly jagged and splintered and
lacks the redness-which is character
istic of lamb and yearling carcasses.
It requires some study and appli
cation to learn to distinguish the var
ious classes and grades of dressed
meat, but everyone whose duty it ia
to provide wholesome, nutritious meat
ior iamuy consumption and to pro
vide it economically, should be able
to distinguish good meat from that of
medium or inferior quality, whether
it is seen in the packing house cooler,
on the butcher's block, or in the home
