Our shipments for the year 1911
were 40. 900 dozens of eggs and 0.0G0

On Poisoning Squirrels.

People talk about poisoning squir-
rels. and instead Of poisoning the
squirrels, they put the poison on the
top of the ground and kill the birds.
Men get wise; try putting the pois-
on in the holes. 1t will get the
squirrels just as quick.
Where the poison is put upon the
ground it kills all the birds around ),
and if people keep on in this way in a
few more years there will be no
birds.
l think this is one point of view
that the law should be strict on, and
protect the birds.
These poor little innocent birds do
more good in one year than all the
squirrels do harm. If you can't find
some way of putting out poison so
that the birds will not get it let the
SOU rre lis live.
Yesterday when l was plowing |
saw bunch of blackbirds following
the pillow. i watched them for a
while and found that they we're pick
ing up wire worms and ohter irsects
that the plow had turned up.
When you realize that wire worms
are worse on the wheat and other crops
than the squirrels you will try putting
the poison in the holes just few
years. You will find that the squir-
res will be killed off just as fast and
the birds will rapidly increase.

OREGON WILL EXHIBIT

Oregon will show from $50 900 to
200 900 people a big display of her
produts at the Northwestern Products
Exposition to be held in Minneapolis
November IL to %.
Governor West has received word
from the officers of the Northwest
Development League that the Civic
and Commerce Association of Minnesp-
oils has agreed to deal whereby this
state will be furnished exhibit space
for it's official display without cost at
the Products Exposition. The busi-
ness interests of Minneapolis are also
erecting great exposition building as
home for this exhibition of north
west products. The show will be
given under the auspices Of the League
as the Land Show was in st Paul last
year and it will be the only exDesi-
tion of the kind furnishing space for
the official state exhibits free.
At cost of SIS 900 the business
interests of Minneapolis and ST. Paul
have bought from the League the
space necessary for the states and
each Of the seven will have booth
built fol- their exhibits fifty feet
long and ten feet wide with back
wall twelve by fifty feet.
The governor has been asked to
confer with officers of the league in
this state and secure the interest of
those who are capable of collecting
and installing an exhibit which will
be credit to the state. The governor
will probably appoint commission
to assist state officers in the work.
Under this plan no county or COM
munity will have an advantage over
others in the state Amy city, county
or reputable land company desiring
too make an independent exhibit will
be able to secure limited amount of
space adjoining the state exhibit on
reasonable terms.
The seven states which are to be
thus represented are: Minnesota
North Dakota. South Dakota, Montana,
Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
