RABBIT COMMITTEE
ANNOUNCES BUDGET

On Friday afternoon at the Office of
County Agent Hunt occurred one of
the important meetings in connec-
tion with the rabbit campaign which
will be put on in the northern end of
the county during the coming few
weeks. After a thorough discussion
of the various phases of the question
and viewing the amount of poison
which would be necessary, the amount
of ground it would cover, and the
vast areas Of deserts where the rab-
bits abound in great numbers, it was
unanimously decided that a sum of
not less than S4S00 would be required
to put on anything like an effective
campaign.
The following budget was there
fore considered and adopted:
One hundred more rabbit corrals,
TO be built in the western part of the
county, and in view of the further
at $500 per corral, amounting to
$500.
Two tons of hay at $4,000 per ton,
$4,000.
Labor of putting out poison, 9 men
5 days at $500 per day, s225.OO.
Two thousand pounds of strychnine
at $3.50 per ounce, S3200.00.
Sundries and incidentals, $735.00.
Total, s4SO0.OO.
In view of the we'll known fact that
the Morrow County Court is making
every effort to build roads in the
county, and nview Of the further
fact that no provision was made in
the last budget for any tax money to
be available for this effort, it is nee
essary that this be raised from the
affected districts, and from the farm
ers themselves While in some in
stances this may work little bit of
hardship, in view of the importance
of the drive intended, it is hoped,
and from the talk had with various
farmers, 1t is believed, that there will
be no difficulty in raising this money.
1t will be handled very much after
the plans Of the various bond drives
which have been conducted in the
past and the various committees in
each of the following named neigh
borhoods will apportion the amount
to be raised in their respective local
ity among their neighbors and a
special committee in each neighbor-
hood will have charge of the collec-
tion.
lrrigon, $4,000; Boardman, $500;
Rhea Siding, $500; Cecil, $500;
Morgan, $500; Alpine, $500; Wells
Springs, $500; lone, $500.
Rhea Siding will include all the
territory which can be reached in
Gillian county and extending as far
as Arlington, and a large amount OF
pens will be built in the very badly
rabbit infested territory and it is
hoped campaign can be put on.
Last winter under the direction OF
County Agent Brown, a hundred rab.
bit pens were constructed and sixty
ounces Of poison collected. Some OF
this poison is still on hand, the rab-
bit corrals are all built and will re-
main as a permanent investment foi
future use, and all the money that
was collected and received from the
County Court has been properly ac.
counted for. A statement showing
exactly where this money went will
be prepared by Mr.. Brown and dis
played at the rabbit meeting and an
effort will be made to convince every
man that not only has the money in
the past been well spent, but by point
ing out the fact that it is now to be
handled by probably the three most
prominent farmers in the county, we

New Industries Promised.

The woolgroWers see in the changes
that have come in industrial condi-
tions throughout the country hope for
the creation of new wooden mill in
dustries on the Pacific coast, through
the operation of increased wage
schedules that have placed the east
ern manufacturers for the first time,
on parity with western factories.
The Pacific International livestock
show has demonstrated its effective
ness in bringing together for exhibi-
tion purposes the best thoroughbred
stock in the country. Support was
pledged to the end that the raising
of livestock in the northwest may be
raised to its highest standard. In
harmony with the purpose of improv-
ing focks the annual ram sale at Salt
Lake City was commended. The Ma
tional Woolgrower was given hearty
endorsement as the best publication of
its kind in the United States.
Producers are urged by the associa-
tion to employ the best possible
methods at shearing pens and in the
sorting and packing of fleeces, so
that the grade of wool may be appar-
ent upon examination and the best
prices realized.
