Loford 168 Cynomy s ludovicianus July 9, 1955 Nr. Wellington, Glo. in old mound when no hole. 11 In horse pasture 6 acres, counted 32, 12 (or 14) be (a 10) being non-jive. Largest group jives, was 5 (at C.L. lurnour) or 6. No new large little seen. Probably some dogs not out. One seen at S.W. limit colony. Little activity in NE sector when 90%+ bare ground. At least two pair Spreytyts present (pellets of on 2 mounds had little & other insect parts, gray mouse fur, mouse bones). Evidently green Dietellii being eaten, many sticks (to 4/sq.ft.) cut at base & left lying on ground. One seen eating Kochia. No apparition colony, but nearly all farm area occupied. Two seen in old barley field to S. of E. part colony, to 50 yds. from fence, where Kochia but not in tall sparse barley. Overlay crop made & terminated. Milkwed area 2' tall with pink blossom. Evidently C.L. do not cut this, perhaps because of milk (also Euphorbia). The rough leaved Iva axillaris common & saw much cut in some areas. In general, feeding when Kochia & Dietellii fairly thick, perhaps most successful; is moisture critical in late season ? 10 mi. N. Waverly, Colo. July 6, 1955 Visited Sec. 13 near Rudy Ackermann's about 7:30 a.m. No prairie dogs when I took 2 (the only one) early this year. Saw 1 Sylvologus & 1 Spreytyts at C.L. lurnours.

E. of the gully (10' high sides, 40 yd. wide sand & gravel bottom) I saw 2 grown C.L. at mounds 50 yds. apart. Have seen here in previous Trip, the old lurnours present there. These mounds at edge
