There are few rabbits on the Twin
Falls tract but many in the outlying
districts.
The county commissioners distrib-
ute poison on application to land own
ers for the poisoning of rabbits. on
the signing of a receipt. The follow
ing instructions have been given for
the distribution Of the poison:
Poisoned Alfalfa Leaves
Dissolve 1 ounce of strychnine sui
plate in 2 gallons of hot water and
sprinkle over 10 pounds of alfalfa
hay leaves Mix the leaves thorough
ly until all moisture is absorbed.
The poisoned leaves should be dis
tributed in small handfuls in lines
few feet apart across portions of +he
field where observation made at night
show the rabbits to be feeding Stock
should be excluded.
After snow falls poisoned alfalfa
should be distributed only about the
stock yards or previously baited poi
son corrals from which stock is ex-
cluded. These corrals should be bait
ed with a small quantity of clean al
falfa hay a few nights previous to
poisoning to get the rabbits accustom-
ed to feeding there.
When using the corral method under
winter weather conditions the guam
tity of alfalfa in the above formula
may be increased to IA pounds. In
localities where alfalfa is not raised,
rye or emmer heads may be substi-
tuted.
Poisoned Oats
Mix one tablespoonful of starch in
u cup of cold water and stir into
pint of boiling water to make a thin
clear paste Mix 1 ounce of powdered
strychnine with / ounce of powdered
bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
and stir with the starch to a smooth,
creamy mass. Stir in 1 teacup of
table salt. Apply to IL quarts of
good clean oats and mix thoroughly
to coat each kernel.
Distribute as in directions for use
of poisoned alfalfa leaves, using a
large tablespoonful at each place
Each quart should make twenty-five
to thirty doses. A clear, cold night
when snow is on the ground and the
rabbits natural food supply is scarce,
is the best time to expose this poison
Caution
All utensils used in the preparation
of poisons, and all poison containers
should be kept plainly labeled and out

Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Wilson and son
Joe returned last Friday evening
from an extended auto trip that took
them thru the Yellowstone, across

Among other things they found
that war regulations are more strict

than out here. For example. autois;s
