RABBITS KILLED BY
new METHOD

AT last an effective way has been
found to combat rabbits that intcst
the farming regions each year and
as a result the little pests are being
killed off in large numbers while
the farmer sleeps.
On the government project in
Hermiston district the new plan
is working like a charm. Dairy
salt and st~rychnine make up the
agency that is depicting the ranks
Of ttc destructive animals. The
farmers at that point have placed
a. different points over the land
small receptacles containing the
poisoned salt. Br'cr rabbit, always
fond 81 salt, takes a nibble at the
mineral and soon dies from the
effect of the tiny bit of s~trychuine
that he gets with the more choice
morsel.
As a result 1t is said that thous-
ands of carcassrs are lying scatter
cd about the places where the pois-
Oncd salt he's been placed. sending
out anything but Il pleasant odor
during the high temperature. But
crops are damaged less.
The proportion Of the poison is
one ounce to a pound Of salt. and
a small vessel containing a tiny
bit Of tke stuff is sufficient to
cause the death of a large number
of the pests. = Pendleton. Ore, Tri.
