Law Says Squirrels
Must Be Poisoned
County Agent Will Mix Poisoned
Grain Throughout Season.

According to the law every man
must poison squirrels found on his
land or the land over which he has
jurisdiction. This works a hardship
on no man because the poison will
only amount to the grain and you can
furnish it. Three thousand quarts
Of poison have been mixed in var
ious communities of the county DUR
ing the last 10 days but because of
considerable sickness many were un-
able to get their grain in to be pois-
oned.
You can get your poison in this
way. Bring your wheat or oats to
Heppner and leave it at the county
agents Office; at Lexington and leave
it at Barnett's store; or to lone and
leave t with Bert Mason, and the
county agent will poison your grain
for you at an early date. Remember
that the poison and other ingredients
are furnished from our rodent fund
and there will be no charge for mix
ing up your poison.
You may need two gallons and you
may need two bushels. You are to
be the judge of the amount. Remem-
Der, too, that we have a real cam
paign on to clean up the squirrels,
and that your neighbors are depend
ing upon your cooperation. Don't
fail in this for the law must be en-
forced.
