listed the school Chill ,rcn of the
province in a competition to see
who could destroy The largest num-
Der of gophers up to the evening
OF that day. The ait critics of
fered SO bronze shields and SO
bronze medals as prizes for schools
and individual children, respec-
lively. A silver shield was offered
to the school, amid gold watch
to THE pupil making the highest re-
cords in the whole province. The

ers while the watch was won by a
boy who had 2,O92 Victims to his
credit. A total of SALAD gophers
were destroyed, and THE resultAn g
benkfit to the crops is estimated at
