ONeill, Ncb., May l.-(Special. y
Farmers, ranchmen and sportsmen OF
Holt county are exterminating the
crows within the county's confines.
A concerted action is being taken
against the crows during this, the
nesting season. and each Sunday
those interested in the determination
of the pests shoulder the good old
scatter guns" meet at some ranch
house in crow-infested territory and
proceed to kill off the "caws' and de-
stroy the nests.
The crow long has. been recog-
nized by the federal department OF
agriculture and by livestock men as
menace to the livestock industry.
Students OF nature also know that he
is doing more to destroy game and
insectiverous birds than all the out
laws with guns who shoot in season
and out.
Incidentally the chicken hawk has
nothing on Mr.. Crow when it comes
to dqcimating the chicken flocks OF
the farmers wife and the rat could
take lessons from him on stealing
eggs. An outbreak OF anthrax in
northern Holt county last year was
directly abbributed to crows bringing
the disease in from South Dakota
and hog cholera frequently has been
communicated by them from one
farm 20 another located miles away.
