Dayton YniazdY: a.Since the removal of the
bounty on coyote scalps these pests are getting
quite numerous In the northern and western
parts of the county. They are becoming quite
annoying 20 the farmers by carrying OF chick
ems, pigs, lambs, and they occasionally kill
young calves. We believe that the removal of
the bounty was an error; the animals were
effectually driven from the country, and the
cost of keeping them from multiplying was very
small. We should, however. have a state law
governing and the bounty should be the same in
ell counties, then there would be no importing
from counties that do not give bounties."
