WASHINGTON. In reponse to re
quests from several sections of Wash
ington anil Oregon, the United States
Bui an of Biological Survey has sent
factory methods of combating molos
and other ground animals pests.
E. W. Nelson, chief of the survey,
said today that Mr. Scheffer has made
an extensive study of various methods
of controlling rodents, and is par
ticularly qualified to demonstrate the
best means of eradicating moles.
Ground squrrels, gophers, grey’ dig
gers, moles and jack rabbits, it was
explained, have become a source of
great trouble to the farmers of cer
tain sections of the Baeific Northwest,
and appeals have been received
through various channels of govern
mental aid in controlling the pest.
Chief Nelson pointed out, however,
that because of limited appropriations
to rarrj on the work of his deport
ment the survey cannot activey par
ticipate in the actual work of killing
lie fa rm - pest c, luit that experts in
bis department \ 1 u.tillable to dem

WASHINGTON, Guam, one of
Uncle Sam's island possessions in lit
erally being overrun by rats, dogs
house anil wild cats, Capt Key C.
Smith, governor of the island, has re
ported to Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels. Snails are responsible for a dis
ease which has killed thousands of
cattle, the report states.
Governor Smith requests that as
large a consignment of common
American toads as it is possible to
ship tie forwarded to Guam for com
batting the snail- produced cattle dis
ease. The Captain states that toads
feed largely on the particular kind of
snail the islanders are warring upon.
The Navy Department has reffered the
request to the Agricultural Depart
ment.
Animal tickets and numerous blood
sucking flies are also handicapping j
:_ __—srr
the cat tie-raising industry, the report
states.
The house-rat pest has attained
such importance that recently boun
ties were offered for the rodents, but
no not ieeab e leerease has resulted,
ricoerding to the report.

GOVERNMENT TURNS DOWN SAN FRANCISCO
RAY PROJECT-NEED MONEY ELSEWHERE
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, The administra
tion has passed the word to its various
departments that i:t view of the huge
deficit that is staring the treasury In
the face and prospects for a con'inued
heavy drain on the nation's exchequer
for the next few years appropriations
for public buildings, waterway im
provements, etc. must be. kept down
to an absolute minimum.
The latest effect of these instruc- !
tions, insofar as California is concern
ed, is the government’s refusal to ^
seriously consider the improvement of |
Black John Slough which is an estuary
of Fetaluma Creek emptying into San
I'a bio Bay, an arm of San Francisco
Bay. I tepresentative Kent asked the
Itiver and Harbors Committee to
make a preliminary examination of
the proposed project with a view of
making the outlet navigable for crafts
of moderate draught, it was estimated
that the work would require an ex
penditure of $7,OOU.
