cover the chapparsl for about an acre
with heavy thatch of straw. Then
| they will organize a wildcat drive and
| concentrate the cats, which will nat

! thatch. The straw will be set I'm fire

l to the flame and smoke. There is no
| dou bit about the success of the project
/ il the wildcats will faithfully carry out
| their end of the programme.-Rep
