5."Jack" Jackson, apparently in charge of the Gene Nome Wildlife
Management Area, said no C.l. in this colony on refuge side of
fence until May 1954. He & others believed "tight" soils were
of fine sand, no clay. There were other colonies near Canadian
in tight soils; Jackson said that in Throckmawto County,
Texas, in early 30's, there were many coyotes, mostly in
C.l. Tawns. He said they caught C.l. dug waiting, then running
to intercept the rodent as it ran toward lurneur. He
also said that country said to be prairie once, but invaded
by mosquitoes. At One area where mosquito thick, it con-
tained a clear area with dog town. Old timers there, Jackson
said, attributed mosquito to lack of prairie dogs & lack of
fire. He also said this was once a fire pasture of Bout. curtip.
In a ranch just west of Matador or area where thinly popu-
lated C.l. Town. // A friend of Jackson's was worried about
the prairie dogs on his ranch & was going to shoot them. He
