]. w. Kooken says the jackrabbits
are eating up his beans and potatoes.
They have cleaned up ten acres of
beans for him and are in fair way to
finish his potatoes. They dig the po-
tatoes out. He has tried poisoned
corn, but is not able to see that this
has had any result, Last Saturday he
bought some beets that he found in the
stores, intending to poison them and
try to feed them to the rabbits. A. w
Lyttle says that rabbits will eat salt
and they may ne killed by putting ou
poisoned salt. His method is to put
the salt on the ground, first scraping &
clean place for it. 1t is a very simple
matter to fix it so the rabbits can gel
to it and stock cannot.
