WESTERN COYOTES
MIGRATING EAST

The coyote, wild dog of the
western plains" seems to be NOV
ing east. In keeping with its re-
putation of resourcefulness, this
predator is knowing in" by modern
means of travel, the automobile
and the express train, according
to naturalists in the United States
department of agriculture.
Tourists in the west often pur-
chase coyote puppies and bring
them east. They do not find them
dependable pets, however, so there
is little grief when an occasional
coyote escapes. In a few cases
eastern sportsmen have brought in
young coyotes and freed them.
thinking they were fox puppies.
From these small beginnings have
developed numerous infestations in
some of the eastern states.
Coyotes are now present in New

Jack Rabbits Menace
Western Vegetation

Jack rabbits have become a ma
Jor menace to farm crops in the
Great Plains and Mountain States,
where drought already has caused
an unparalleled shortage of feed
supplies. The United States de-
partment of agriculture has re-
ceived many stories of devastation
by this long-eared, long-legged,
high-hopping member of the hare
family. A petition signed by o.
500 farmers in eastern Colorado,
ON file with the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey, asks assistance in
controlling jack rabbits.
Jack rabbits appear in cycles of
abundance. Every few years they
are beset by disease until only a
few are left. Their abundance at
this time is probably due to this
cycle. When "jacks" are numer-
Gus, they play havoc with growing
crops. In winter they riddle hay
stacks and other feed supplies.
Tests in Arizona have shown that
IL jack rabbits will eat as much
feed as a 120-pound eve; that SO
jack rabbits will eat enough feed
to keep at 75O-pound cow.
The simplest, most effective me-
thod of controlling "jacks," espe-
cially on the Great Plains, is by
"drives." Many persons-the more
the better-surround several Sec
tons of land and move forward.
The rabbits run before them. OPP
portunity for escape lessons as the
encircling line tightens, and the
animals are driven into pen err
ected for the purpose. Here they
are killed by the hundreds. The
"drives" do triple notwithstanding
thousands of rabbits, furnishing
food for the poor, and providing
a popular form of community sport
or those participating.
Poisoning is. effective in irrigat-
ed areas. Here bats are placed
along the trails used by the rab-
bits in crossing bitches. Poison
ing is not recommended for the
plains country where there is dan
ger that the bait may be picked
up by livestock.
Dry weather and lack Of wild
vegetation have caused jack rab-
bits to move in on cultivated fields,
especially in the irrigated valleys.
Observers report the "iacks" have
moved eastward in Kansas and
other Plains states for approxim-
ately 100 miles as feed supplies
have become scarce to the west.
The Bureau of Biological Survey
will not predict what damage may
be expected from jack rabbits dur
ing the coming summer, other than
to state that if dry weather con-
tinues it probably will be heavy.

York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
South Carolina, Florida, Georgia,
and Alabama, and may be present
in other eastern states. In addi-
ton to artificial paintings coyotes
are pushing eastward of their own
acrord, having been recently re-
ported in parts of lower Michigan
and Indiana.
"The coyote is the most adapt
able of the predatory animals"
says A. M. Day of the Bureau of
Biological Survey. Civilization
has no terrors for him. He lives
and thrives there, finding life cas-
Ter, even if somewhat more dam
gerous, than in the open. He is
shrewd and bold.
"Home to the coyote is wher-
ever he digs his den. He migrates
easily and upon slight provocation.
Coyotes multiply rapidly. The lit
tiers are large, averaging 5 to z
puppies, which look much like the
young German police dogs. Re-
Gently a litter of II was found.
With the coyotes adaptability,
shrewdness, boldness and ability to
multiply, it is possible they may
eventually inhabit the entire Unit
ed States"
The paid-hunter system is adj
vocated by the Biological Survey
as the best method of keeping
coyotes under control. The pay
ment of bounties often leads to
abuses and deception.
Although coyotes are scavangers
and, in addition, destroy many ro-
dents, they are all too likely to
find it easier to obtain their liv-
ing by killing poultry and young
pigs, lambs and even calves. For
this reason they may become as
much a menace to eastern farmers
as they have been to the western
rancher.

The second quality program COW

When asked by President Tyler
what the comparison of quality in

with other California dairy pro-

results elsewhere gives considerable
credit to the dairyman and the
manufacturers of dairy products in

that any person possessing sedi-
