Prairie dog menace spurs plea for federal help
The Prairie dog problem in the West prompts urgent appeals to the national government. Experts report Texas hosts a vast colony covering about 25,000 square miles with up to 400 million prairie dogs. Colonies 20 to 30 miles long spread across the Great Plains, causing annual losses of millions as grass consumption by the pests surpasses livestock needs. The Great Plains extend from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi Valley and from Montana and South Dakota to Texas and Mexico.
