Union County Spends
Much for Bounties

We are in receipt of figures show
ing that the budget for 1921 provid-
ed for the expenditure of $3,362. .26
for bOunties on predatory and other
destructive animals. We also noted
that COlfaN and Quay counties. ad-
joining Union county, only allowed
for the expenditure of $1,000 and
$1,000 for this purpose, while Hard
ing county only appropriatcs S63.
The fact that Union county is cx-
pending this amount of money shows
the determination of the county to
rid itself of these animals.
Chavez county also spends large
amount of money in this work. In
fact, that county heads the list with
an appropriation of over S5,OOOOO.
Money spent in Kidding the county
of these destroyers of live stock is
money we'll spent, but better results
could be accomplished if every
county would do its share towards
furthering the work. If Union cOun-
ty cleans its territory and Harding
or COlfaX county does little or moth
ing, then it works a hardship on
Union, as the county which does not
push the work creates fertile field
for the propagation Of these animals
which in turn migrate to other
counties
