C!ASWELL AGAINST WOLF FARMS.
Says There is Good Profit i'm Raising
Wolves at $50 per Head.

wolf farms" of the state will be
abolished if a bill introduced in the
senate by Senator Caswell, of Denison
becomes a law 1t provides that the
bounty for wolves shall be reduced
from $40 to $40.
The necessity for this sort of a
law is due to the fact that in some
parts Of Iowa the farmers catch the
cubs and keep them until they are
grown said the senator. They can
then claim $40 for them and it is
said that there is big profit in rails
ing the animals at that price.
"A farmer will kill wolf just as
readily for $40 as he will for $40
and it will save the state big sum
of money in the long run"
