THE CROW MUST GO
Estimates Farmers Lose 5000, 900 900
Per Year From Crows

Donald Agnu, is authority for the
statement in regard to the number
OF crows III Oklahoma-and he
adds; Grows are increasing at such
a rate in that State that the agri-
culture college at Sti!lwaer is try
ing to find an effective way of kill
ing them Off"
The Rev Neol j. Allen of Vir-
ginia, noted authority on crows
and other vermin, estimated that
there are at least two hundred
million crows scattered throughout
the country, so if these black
scamps do Il dollar piece damage
to crops each year, the figures are
appalling.
In Kentucky farmer reports
that fifty of his lambs were blinded
by crows picking out the eyes-and
they died.
Perhaps the following letter ex-
presses the real convictions of the
average agriculturist. This farmer
in Pennsylvania, like all workers
in the country, likes birds All
through his communication it can
be noted his hesitancy to condemn
one of them? Still-he finds the
crow guilty and like thousands of
| others-thinks he must 20. He
says:

observations have fully convinced
me that the crows merits are few,
while his demerits are many. Since
the crows ease is to be tried and

fears for his destiny; we have suf.
tered much from his ravagcs and

Also, my neighbor, Mr. Peter r.
