Monroe, Bingham county agent stated Wednesday evening that they have 1200 members for the farm bureau and that seems to be about 66 per cent of the farmers In the county altho nobody knows ex actly how many farms there are in iVI r. Monroe says that one of the important problems he is dealing with now is the purchase and dis ^_Ltrtbution 0 f strychnine for use in fighting rodents. It is expected that the county will appropriate some money to apply on the purchase of strychnine, but the farmers will have to put up the rest. An effbrt has been made to secure 2000 ounces for use just as the winter breaks up In order to kill the old stock before the little squirrels arrive. It is not considered a success to try to kill them oif after there is plenty of vegi tation fey them to feed upon as they will leave the poison and feed upon the tender herbs. In localities where only part of the settlers are willing to enter Into the (poisoning campaign 'an effort will be made by the farm bureau to get them interested and working In a united campain. The man who neglects or refuses to help is just as much of a slacker as those who did not help to win the war, for he sets I the efforts of his neighbors at naght. Heretofore the state itself has been 'a slacker because it did not help kill the squirrels on state land adjoin ing the settlers' farms. An effort is being made now to get the state to do Its part and get every settler to co-operate In the big spring drive to kill the squirrels, ,r Mr. Monroe says the worst trouble he sees in the plan now is that people are not buying sufficient quantity of strychnine. He is afraid they will not have enoughjto complete the job. INCREASED AOOOMODA.
