An item of Interest on the Pacific wast la the secretary's reference to the California ground squirrel He says: "The etroand saulrrel is costing the country millions of dollars because of Its destruction of grains, fruits and nuts, and Its tunneling in irrigation and embankments. In May, lS10k it caused a break In the Turlock canal In Stanis laus county, California, which cost 2S OOQto repair, In addition to the loss of the use of the water, estimated at over $500,000. , SU1I more important is the fact that the ground squlrsel baa be come plague stricken, and unless Wigor 6os measures are1 used for its destruc tlon, the disease may become lndemlp as It is in India among certain of the native rodents. ' There is, danger that the disease may be communicated to human beings and spread to other states. ' .The most effective means of destroying the ground squirrels has been found to be' whole barley ooated with a starch solution holding strych nine In suspension. With this prepara tion, the squirrels may be practically exterminated over large areas at a cost of from 2 to 6 cents an acre, depend ing upon their abundance," ; Damage by Torest ZIzm.

The total of livestock of all kinds which used the national forest ranges during the year under permits fell off 2.75 per cent. In comparison with the previous year. This is the first year since regulated grazing began that there has not been an Increase, The cause of the drop la to be found In the reduc tion of the available range through eliminations Of .land found to be better suited to. other uses tban to forest pur poses. . . . .,; Secretary Wilson devotes considerable space to 'discussing .the farmer's share ia the consumers prices. He pays: "In the case of milk, ia 78 cities dis tributed throughout the United States the farmer receives a scant E0 per cent of the price paid by the consumer. The railroaas get about 1 per cent, so that the remaining 43 per cent of the con sumer's price is received mostly by the retailer. ,The fanner receives hardly more than" half of the consumer's pijlce of poultry; 6 per cent in the case of eggs; 48 per cent m the case of cab bage; 60 per cent in the case of celery.
