the bill a farmer may take out in-

age yield for his section. He would
pay premiums either in cash or
produce, and, if his yield for the

GOPHERS KILLED
The county agent informs us that
numerous farmers are now poison-
ing pocket gophers. Some are us-
ing poisoned sweet potato bait;
some, poison raisins; and some are
using the poisoned maize that has
been shipped in ready to use.
Mr. King states that the eleven
gopher (salamander) ruin< in which
he placed the grain bait were cut
with a shovel,two weeks ago and
are still open. This is plenty of
evidence that the rodents were
killed or have deserted their holes.
Tli" agent thinks that the earlier
the bait is placed, the more effi-
cient will be the results. After
food becomes more [.Uw.' t he^o
are more particular about their
food. Poison now not next month
—but poison again next month.
