And the neighborhood dogs learned
from their wild cousins that inside
the green rinds there was palatable
provender even for carnivorous ami
mails.
What was digging out great holes
in the melons and extracting there
from all the best of the red meat
puzzled the melon growers. Night
watchman made the discovery, and
then the question was, What can be
done? Poison was suggested. but
objected to by County Agent Davis,
and so "hring squads, to act before
sunrise, were formed.
The coyotes, and the dogs as well,
clawed the rinds until they got a
purchase with their teeth. Then they
gnawed large holes in the melons
and ate all the best of the inside.
