ASHLAND, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1920
Live stock and wool valued at $20,
000,000 are lost annuully through
the depredations of wild animals.
The value of farm produce and for
age destroyed each year by rodents
is approximately $300,000,000. It Is
estimated that the households of
' this country sustain nn annual loss
(from rats and mice of $200,000,000.
These figures sum up certain of
the larger losses due to destructive
wild llfo which the Biological Sur
vey of the United States Department
of Agriculture is engaged in reduc
ing as rupldly as possible.
A force of between 400 and 500
experienced hunter? was employed
by this bureau during the past year
to kill predatory unimals, many of
which were infected with rabbles;
this disease often Is spread from the
wild creatures to domestic animals
i
and frequently endangers humans,
In this work of extermination the
States and numerous privute organ-
izutlons have had an Important
share.
The work of killing rodents prai
rie (logs, ground squirrels, jack rab
bits and cottontails, pocket gophers,
native mice, wood rats, cotton rats,
etc., Is also carried on with the co
operation of the States. During the
past fiscal year ground squirrels
were poisoned on more than 14,000,
000 acres. In one Idaho county
alone 40,000 rabbits were killed. In
the same period from 75 to 95 per
cent of the prairie dogs found on a
total of 2,200,000 acres were de
stroyed. -4

Other advantages cited by Mr. Fer

way of doing many things such as
canning, baking and judging live-

cattle have been brought Into Ore-

were called especially successful.
Mr. Tinker is a brother of Will Tin
