'Boys 'r. no- a OT ctinW" 1 .'.-.J Dr. Hudson To Compile Booklet Planned to Aid Farmers, Zoologists Dr. George E. Hudson, hcipetol ogist at the university, has re cently completed a tour around the state, gathering specimens and data concerning the reptile family in order to publish an illustrated bulletin some time next year tie scribing the snakes that inhabit Nebraska. The booklet, which will be published by the conservation and survey division, will probably be one of the most popular to ap pear in some time, for farmers in every part of the state will be in terested in learning of its contents, and students of zoology will find it an important document because of the fact that to date there is but meager information as to the distribution and kinds of snakes native to Nebraska. Dr. Hudson, who recently re signed to accept an appointment on the faculty of state college of Washington at Pullman, can't un derstand why Nebraska farmers tolerate the bullsnake but kill every other species. On his recent tour he collected many unusual specimens, Including two vicious looking timber rattlers; ' gathered data from the natives in each lo cality as to the distribution of vari ous species and talked to farmers all along about snakes and their importance to the crop producer. Says Dr. Hudson: Spare Bullsnake. "Practically everyone with whom I talked said he killed all reptiles except the bullsnake. and some even killed this species. It is hard . 1 ...K., ..r .., 1 ricultmalLsts do this, for most of I the species that are common to the state are just as harmless and kill as many field pests as the bull snake. Too many evidently believe that most of the less common va rieties are poisonous T i ...jU.wll. nf lm,. manv ,liffmnl u" l,le "'P to hear several farmers remark that they bad read somewhere that bullsnakes were beginning to cross with the rattlesankcs and thus they were on the lookout for their ally. As a matter of fact, this cross breeding would be a physical im possibility. Most of the people 1 had an opportunity of talking to expressed an interest in this study. I jng year: Margaret Baker at Dor and many of them have promised ! Chester: Margaret Harvev at to send me unusual specimens whenever they find them." There are two non-poisonous reptiles in Nebraska which have been falsely associated with such outlaws as the coral snake and the water moccasin, two very poison ous species which infest the south eastern states, says Dr. Hud3on. One of these is the common water snake. This species is thickbodied and vicious, and in general appear ance looks something like the cot tonmouth moccasin, but is really non-poisonous. The milk snake, be cause of fits coloring, is likewise confused with the coral snake. An other non-poisonous reptile con sidered dangerous here in Nebras ka is the hog-nosed snake, which will hiss ad spread out its neck upon the approach of an individual, with the result that thc person is quick to conclude thajt it is a dan gerous reptile. Thc name given it in the state is spreading viper. There is still another poisonous species which inhabits this part of the country, but is quite harmless because of its small size. That is thc blackheaded snake, never more than ten inches in length, which, like earthworms upon which it feeds, lives in thc ground most of the time. Copperhead Seen. Not until making the trip this summer did Dr. Hudson find evi dence which showed beyond a doubt that thc copperhead of the south had come as far north as Ne braska. While driving along the road several weeks ago near Rulo, he found a copperhead that had been run over and killed on the highway. Residents in that commu nity reported that they existed in large numbers' around the coun tryside. Thc copperhead, says Dr. Hudson, is not so deadly a the timber rattler because it is smaller and has shorter fangs. It seldom has been known to reach a length of more than 3 feet in these parts. Dr. Hudson argues that only the poisonous variety should be ex terminated. There are many, he flm1 shmi)(J b(l kn,p(, bpc(lusc says, who think that buiisnaxes they kill birds. But other birds, such as the marsh hawk, probably kill as many if not more birds than do the snakes, yet these individuals would oppose the extermination of i NOV In It Second Bir Week Lincoln Acclaima It thia year'e Biggest Picture!!

I to.t Todayt Completes State Tour Data on Reptiles the feathered killers, since they feed also on obnoxious rodents. But snakes have the same economic status. They also kill birds and live mainly on various farm pests such as mice, rats, and ground squir rels. The zoologist has records of 28 different kinds of snakes in Ne braska, but he is still hopeful that people over the state will send him any unusual specimens that they may kill from time to time so that his information can be added to and the report made more com plete. He is also interested in re ceiving unusual specimens of the lizard family. Dr. Hudson was given a grant by the Nebraska academy of sciences to assist him in making the study this summer, and while he will be teaching at state college in Washington be ginning this fall, he has arranged for a student to take care of the various specimens that are sent to the university during the fall. These will be shipped on to him. Cobra Most Deadly. What is the most dangerous snake in the world? Unquestion ably, it is the king cobra, he says, which sometimes reaches a length of 18 feet and is well known for its aggressiveness, especilaly in In dia, where it will attack man. In fact, more than 20.000 people in that country are killed by snakes each year, most of them dying ! from cobra bits. One large com j pany in India which uses elephants for hauling lumber annually re ports a considerable number of deaths from among members of its herd as the result of the vicious ; HI ln( Kn 1)1 WJU KIUK I'ULMH.
