Time to Harvest Squirrel Crop

J. G. Graves of Grangeville,
predatory animal inspector, makes
the following explanation as to
how to collect squirrel bounty:
"To collect squirrel bounty send
the tails (not less than in lots of
1907 to me at Grangeville and |
will mail to claimant the.
sary papers and instructions.
These claims are filed and paid
by the state, the same as other
bounty claims. The bounty is &c
and no claim will be considered
for less than $2."
In addition to the above, many
farmers are also paying &c each,
making 4c of a bounty-an easy
graft for the boys to make several
dollars per day, "on the side"

BIG BATTLE
IS NOW ON
May be Deciding Battle
Of the War.

The greatest battle since the
dawn of time has been fought in
France during the last week, and
promises to continue for weeks to
come.
For several months both sides
each with perhaps 1000, 900 men
had been preparing for this gigan-
tic struggle, which may be the de-
Gliding battle in the greatest war
in history.
The first couple of days the Ger
mans appeared to have the best of
the fight, and the allies retreated
several miles. But it is now
known that the retreating was for
the purpose of leading the enemy
into a trap or ambush. AS proof
of this, it is estimated that the
German loss has been at least
100000 men each day during the
last six days of fighting about a
third of their army.
The loss of the allies is very
light in comparison to that of the
enemy.

crops, eradicating the squirrel
pest and exterminating obnoxious
weeds.
The labor problem was also ta-
ken up, but no definite action was
taken, except to express willing
ness to abide by the recommends
tions of the Council of Defense as
regards wages and working hours.
MIR. Overman of Grangeville call
ed attention to the necessity of
making survey of the seed situa-
tion at once if such was to be any
practical value to the government
or farmers. This work has been
begun in some sections of the
county but so little progress has
been made that it will be of no
value unless completed, and that
at once. 1t seemed to be the ma
jority opinion that it is already
too late, but thanks to the re-
sourcefulness of our Camas Prai-
rie farmers very few of them, if
any, are in need of government
assistance in securing their seed
grains.
After instructing the executive
committee to make an appeal to
the county commissioners at once
for an appropriation sufficient to
secure a Farrl Advisor, the meet
ing adjourned.
The spirit and interest that was
manifest at the two meetings held
in Cottonwood shows that our
farmers heartily endorse the Farm
Bureau and will by their interest
and cooperation reap untold ben
efits from the organization and
assistance made available to them
through the Farm Advisor.

the Matt Petersen ranch-to Golf

best stock ranches in this portion
of the country, and the price
therefore may be considered very
reasonable.
