Wild Animals Kill Stock

Stansell Greer, the sheepman, informs us that wild animals are increasing rapidly and are doing great damage among sheep and calves. He is of the opinion that unless the stockmen organize and take some action to kill off the bobcats and coyotes, they will in- crease and become a perfect ter TOT in this section. MT. Greer also informed us that the impression that sheep are in good condition is erroneous. His sheep suffered greatly during the cold, wet weather of February and March and many died. The same is true of all sheep in this section. They are very poor, notwithstanding the fact that grass is so large and plentiful. St. Johns Herald.
