Commissioners, is to wage a re-
lentless war on crows, birds that
play havoc with a farmers corn
field and other products. Leonard
K. Yerger, president of the Board
of Commissioners has been desig-
mated to start MAJOR campaign
against crows. A system of bount-

is also being considered. While
some of these pests remain in this

most of them migrate, returning to
Delaware when corn starts coming
through the ground in May. Of

have been devoting more attention
to the crow, and their conclusions
are not very complimentary. 1t is
agreed this bird has many admir-
able qualities: He is generally con-
sidered the smartest bird that flies;
his social consciousness is develop
ed to a high degree and he will
warn his companions when he spies
