Show POISON GRAIN FOR ; RODENT CONTROL I By JOHN E. BLAZZARD ! District Agricultural Inspector. Many persons have asked about securing se-curing poison oats with which to kill rodents this spring and summer. We have many such pests, (squirrels, chipmunks, chip-munks, rats, chistlers and pararie dogs) that give us untold trouble each year in stealing fruit, eating seeds, killing young plants, and eating the roots off plants already established. There is great need for cutting down the numbers of these pests. A campaign has been planned whereby everyone in the county can obtain poison grain with which to kill these rodents. The agricultural inspector, in-spector, in company with a representative represent-ative of the U. S. Biological Survey, will spend the first three days of March in mixing poison baits and doing do-ing demonstrational work in pocket gopher control in Washington County. The following persons will be able to give you information as to places at which the mixing will be done: St. George Roller Mill, at St. George. Jacob Frei, Santa Clara. Bishop Iverson, Washington. B. C. Famsworth, Enterprise. Isaac Burgess, Central. Albert Bunker, Veyo. Martin Anderson, Toquerville. Wilford Thompson, La Verkin. Amos Workman, Hurricane. Bishop Sterling, Leeds. Henry Cornelius, Virgin. Marvin Terry, Rockville. The above named men will tell you of the place time, and what to bring. We will mix only good clean oats for any poisoning purpose w-here baits are to be placed outside where birds may be poisoned. If you need poison for sparrows or mice bring only good clean wheat. This service is free. Bring your own grain. |
