Through the expenditure of $75.000 |
in rodent campaigns, Montana farm- j
POISONING RODENTS.
eis were saved a loss of $375,000 dur
ing the fiscal year ending July 1, ac
cording to the annual report of O. E.
Stephl, rodent control leader for Mon
tana.
Montana farmers used approximate
ly 90 tons of strychnine treated grain
during the year's effort to reduce the
losses from ground squirrels and
prairie dogs, and nearly 10,000 farm
ers distributed the poison bait. Val
ley county led the counties of the
state in the use of poison, <00 farm
as there distributing 13,000 pounds
of bait.
Mr Stephl reports that as more
land is brought under cultivation
greater attention must be given to ro
aent control as modern farming prac-.
tices provide attractive conditions for
the increase of ground squirrels.
The eras cf most serious gopher in
festations in the state are largely in
counties where agricultural agents
are employed add most of the control
campaigns have been conducted un
der the direction of these agencies.
In some counties campaigns are con- j
ducted on a county wide basis, the
county furnishing the materials fer
making the poison bait and assess
ing the costs against (he land of the
county.
According to Mr. Stephl, there are
two species of ground squirrels com
mon in the state—the Colubian squir
rel, which prefers the higher alti
tudes in hills and mountains and the
Richardson squirrel which is four.d in
the level eastern half of the state.
The Columbian squirrel is reported
as being on the increase, gradually
appearing further down into the val
lc.,s and in the prairie country. This
squirrel is difficult to control since
the ordinary poison baits are less ef
fe .>e agairst them as in the case
of other squirrels and since they are
found largely in the more inaccessible
places. The Richardson squirrel, on
the other hand, is easy to control, re
% qui ring merely systematic and con
sistent effort in poisoning campaigns.

TRAVELING SEED SHOWS.
Montana's traveling seed shows, or
iginated by the Montana Extension
service for the purpose of bringing
the highest quality seeds to the farm
er rather than expecting the farmer
to travel long distances to a state or
district seed show, received nation
»wide attention in a recent article in
.< Xhe Seed World," by A. J. Ogaard,
extension agronomist. Mr. Ogaard
is responsible for the traveling seed
show idea and the shows were con
ducted under his direction last spring.
According tc the agronomist the
traveling exhibits'reached 11 counties
Of the state and shows were held in
32 important farming communities.
More than 1,400 farmers attended the
local shows.
The exhibits in each case contained
samples of Montana's prize winning
grain which was exhibited at last
years International Hay and Grain
s jj OW a t Chicago. With these exhib
itg Montana entered
26 different
PHze money in the classes entered, a
recor d unsurpassed by any state in
Union. In addition to these fa
shows a ls° contained 136 samples of
jthe best grain exhibited at last win
ter's State Utility Seed show at Boze
man, representing the highest qual
ity of pure seed for sale in the state.
At each local shew farmers also ex
mous prize winning exhibits the local
viding opportunity for the int
tion of pure seed on the farms,
Lectures were given at each of the
seed shows and charts were used
(showing the ec:«omic vaiue of substi
tuting pure seed for the common kind
so frequently used. It was emphasized
especially that Montana must over
come her handicap of distance from
market by producing high quality
products.
Plans are now under way for hav
ing still more extensive exhibits at
hibited samples of seed stocks which
they had for sale, thus making the
showd virtual seed exchanges, pro
roduc
the traveling seed shows for next
spring. Counties visited last spring
are eager to continue this type of
work next year, and new counties
have expressed desires to be included
in the 1925 itinerary of the traveling
show.
Of the 31 children enrolled in nu
trition classes at Laurel last spring,
28 were under weight. By the end of
June the number in the under weight
group had been reduced to 10. The
31 children gained at total cf 144%
pounds, an average weight of 4%
pounds for each child. At East Laur
el a similar class with 29 members
had 24 children under weight and by
the end of June this number was re
duced to 10. The 29 made an aver
age gain of 5% pounds, a total ot
150 pounds for the entire group. -

genuine article.
In the meantime, owing to the
small amount in my hands for the
purchase of annuities for the Indians,
I will, therefore, while ths military
play is going on, allow my red wards
to roam at their sweet will thrbugh*
out Chicago and interview the kitch
en. dcors, when doubtless many op
portunities may arise whereby they
will be enabled to gather in many a
little souvenir they so sadly need in
their career as Indians.
In the meantime the secretary is
wiring through the different grades
in relation to the route taken by the
Indians. The answer goes bobbing
through like the others that the hos
tiles went west by passing through
Ham Fat avenue to the main exhibi
tion building.
Infantry Pursues ^
The secretary then wires to 'the
effect that all the available infantry
must at once be set in hot pursuit,
leaving the cavalry regiment to do
guard duty at the camp, the entire
company of infantry to match due
east, passing through the Porkopolis
Boulevarde entrance and thence on to
Floral hall, where, if no signs of the
Indians are to be met with, they are
to fall back upon the camp and await
further orders. While the infantry
are absent the Indians will return
and hold a big council. The head
chief, Old Innocence, will open the
orating in some such a style as this;
Children, my heart is on the
ground. My eyes can no longer see
the antelope. We are passing away
like the leaves of the forest. We are
fading like the sun's last rays, but
our sun will rise no more. The pale
face came and drove us from our
u
fathers' graves. We came here and
jthe white man drives us from our
j peaceful homes. We have no place
(left to go to—only the happy hunt
; ing ground. The paleface comes with
j a rifle to slay us. Our wives and
papooses we love. We cannot see
them die. «-The Great Spirit says,
'Slay the white man and save your
children.' Our eyes are wet, our hands
shake and our hearts bleed as we obey
the Great Spirit. I love the white
man. If they look black at me my
heart breaks, apd the tears run. See
how I love them. I shake hands with
my white father,
Old Innocence and I will then ad
vance to the center of the circle in
the'council, where we clasp hards. I
will assume a sort of Ajax-defying
the-lighitting look while he will take
on Jhe patriarchal air of the "Bless
you, my children."
At this juncture our photographs
will be taken by the instantaneous
process. Old Innocence will thentake
g seat among his fellow braves and
quiet will reign for about 15 minutes
in order that the heart-broken sobs
of the old chief can get in their full
work with the usual scenic effects.
I will then arise amid much silence {
and probably eloçute as follows: "Old
Innocence and you, his brave
era: The Great Father greets you
through me. He loves his red child'
ten. He will not suffer the had white
man
or desecrate their family altars. We
ai! love you except the bad u,eu of
the weet. The Great Father frowns
ff
me here to take care of you. I am
your protector. When trouble comes
to you ihy heart bleeds. You are
passing away. I wish there were
more of you. The Great Father
would then give you more annuities
through me.
I will then ring in a few excerpts
'from Fenimore Cooper's works, be
sides quotations—tender little bits—
from the writings of Jiving Indian
philanthropists. The finale will con
sist of a feast given by me out of
their annuities. The military com
mander will furnish the regimental
band to discourse patriotic strains
while the banquet is in progress.
t?
scientists and others will be
given an hour wherein to study the
phenomenon.
The viands and solids of the feast
will consist of quite attenuated but
very hot coffee and half-cooked dried
apples. This bill of fare is eminently
suited to the Indian anatomy. Hours
after the clcse of such a feast they
will he more rotunder than they were
when leaving the banqueting beard.
Chicago
I intend making a startling depart
ure from one portion of the program,
as above roughly set forth. About
the closing days of the exhibition, and
at that point where the Indians pounce
upon the whites, I will cause one of
the cavalry captains to charge with
his company upon my red children.

going down town to fight their way through the crowds
in search of a roast for dinner than they would of
walking to the factory to get a pair of shoes.
City women know that their neighborhood stores can

cases, the service is more alert and friendly.
