EXPERIMENTS BY AGRICULTUR
AL DEPARTMENT POISONED
GREEN BARLEY BEST.
Washington, Aug. 18. interesting
results have Just bean announced by
ui . service a3 a result of the
camrjalen conducted In Southern
Lfc. ...... by Stanley E. Piper. Expe.C
of.- J'ugicai Survey of the Da-.-uoiit
of Agjiwulture, to extermi
nate ground squirrels and gophers.
Extensive experiments were tried
to determine the be3t means of kill
ing off these destructive little anlma's
and It was found that most effective
results were obtained by using poison
ed green or ripening barley heads.
The squirrels are exceedingly fond of
this green herbage, and eagerly ate
the poisoned food placed along their
runways. Tests were also made with
oats, wheat, barley, raisins, prunes,
dried apple? and cracked corn, but
these did not prove so successful.
While grean barley proved most
successful for poisoning ground squir
rels, yet the difficulty of procuring a
sufficient supply in' all localities led
to dried barley grain being tried.
'The grain was trea'.ed with strlchnjne
sulphate, saccharide and eggs, -and
although this combination proved
very destructive to 'the squirrels, it
had practically no effect upon doves
and quail Jn fact, a deliberate
attempt was made to poison these
birds at their watering places, but
no bad effect resulted. The poison
ed grain was also used in fields graz
ed over by sheep and produced no ill
effect w&atever.
The experiments also proved tha.t
gophers were partial to ralilns and
dried apples, and these were, success
fully used in the poison experiment.
It was found that by sprinkling the
apples or raisins with the strychnine
solution, as. effective results were
produced as ceuld be obtained by
Inserting the poisoa Into the fruit, .
The experiments (or extermination
of squirrels also resulted in the death
; of a considerable number of rabbits,

Zaza Is Greatest
Of Modern Plays
Made Many A stresses Famous
'. Presented In Enterprise Next
Saturday Want.
Another h'gh cIasj production by
the Ethel Tucker Stock company
will -be the greit Belasco success.
'Zaza" at the opera house Saturday
night, August 21. "Zaza" is one of the
best of the great problem plays. Thu
plot Is so intensely interesting, and
the play so admirably written and
conutructed that the Interest, never
lags but Is sunt tin 3d till the fl-al
drop of the curtain ,
The part of Zaza has made many
great actresses famous ha3 in fact,
helped them to greatness. Mrs. Leslie
Carter and Florance Roberts gained
distinction in the role. To an actress
who has emotion, Imagination, "Zaza"
certainly glvea graat opportunities
for it runs through the whole gamut
of passions and emotions: The llg-i'
hearted chorus girl of the 1st not:
the revengeful passion-torn woman
:f the succeeding 3 acts. In th- .'Jrci
act there ia a few moments of ex
quisite pathos when Zaza meets her
lover's Utile son. This scene is
beautifully played ty VUIt Brandon,
Jr. At the end of UlU act, Zaza re
signs her love to lita young wife and
child. In the azt act Zaza has be
come a famous vaudeville artiste and
'Ives for her art alone. The ending
Is unique, art!s:ic In its simplicity.
Zaza says to Dufrasne "I leave your
wife her husband, your child his
father." "I have my career goodbye,"
and she goej to her carrlago as the
curtain falls.
The cast will be given several ad
ditlons for this play. Miss Nanne
Heaton will play a prominent charac
ter role Aunt Rom the part made
famouj by May Ro'jcon. Miss Tucker
Is delighted with .Visa Ueaton's work
at the rehearsals.

TWO MORE STARS FOR OLD
GLORY.
Marcus A. Smith served Arizona
as delegate to Congress for eighteen
years, so that the territory was long
regarded as hopeles.-ily Democratic.
Last November, to the surprise of
everybody, Smith's normal plurality
of about 1500 was- wiped out, and the
Republican candidate, Ralph H. Cam
aron, was elected, with a plurality
of 700 simply because the peJpb
believed that the Republican party
had put the statehood plank in its
platform In good faith. New Mexico
had been counted safely Republican
for years, but last fall W. II. An
drews had the fight of his life to
secure reelection as territorial dele
gate. Since then, Colonel Max Frost,
known variously as the "Matt Quay
of Santa Fe," has been compelled by
ill health and failing intellect, to re
tire from active lire. Totally blind,
paralyzed to such an extent that he
could not walk a step, and otherwise
alflicted past ordinary powers of en
durance, he wa3 one of the most pic
turesque and remarkable personalities
in American po.il.ios, by virtue of his
minuet and of his absolute control
of the Mexican vote. No worthy sue
cessor to the fallen leader has ap
peared, and It is not likely that New
Mexico will soon again see his like.
