IS COYOTE RAISING
A NEW INDUSTRY?

Is the bounty law resulting in the
exterminating of predatory animals or
is it fostering an infant industry, that
of coyote raising This is a question
which crept into County Clerk Saling's
mind this morning after Deputy
Brown had finished summing up the
amount paid out for scalps during
the month of May S679.5O was the
exact amount collected by the bounty
law, there being 441 coyote scalps,
four bobcat scalps ara one cougar
scalp turned in at the office
This amount breaks all previous
records by far, the next highest am
cunt being $4OS.5O which was paid out
in May. 1910. \ study of the records
shows that ali of the sums for the
months of this year are greater than
those of last year and that there has
been a steady monthly increase un-
month just passed.
Now what the county officials want
to know is whether this increase is
due to the greater zeal and assiduity
of hunters and foes to the varmints
or whether the old coyotes are spared
SO that they may raise many Off
spring to the financial benefit of the
hunters. The fact that the great ma
jorty of the scalps brought in are
those of coyote cubs lends color to the
theory that new and thriving indus
try has been born and that the boun-
ty law is thwarting its own end.

in passing a bill taking the federal
