MUCH WHEAT SAVED
IN SEWER VALLEY
BY Sparrow Eradication Campaign
LAS Bushels Conserved.

Sewer County is conserving wheat
in peculiarly efficacious way, &C
cording to report just made by
County Agent, w. w. Owens. During
the winter in a sparrow eradication
campaign careful estimates place the
number of sparrows killed at 1880.
On an average of 100 sparrows were
killed for each one-half pint of pois-
oned bait used. Estimating the
amount of wheat eaten in a year by
a sparrow at two quarts, the saving
to the county is 1,14S bushels worth,
at $500 bushel, 1926. The money
value of the wheat is of little import
ance, however, when compared to the
food value.
