tho poultry business that Is bo
Ing felt In ovary nnrt of the
country. Tho Budilcn nnd steady rlso
In wheat lias caused a flooding of
tho markol with chlckons of ovory
description. Many breeders havo re
tired from this branch entirely for
tho present. This docs not rotor to
brocdors who handle poultry to nny
largo extent, but to small brocdors.
Tho commission men havo been at u
loss to dlsposo of tho surplus stock
nnd tho prices havo droppod away

Even with prices declining nnd with
eggs selling lowor than they havo at

somo substantial bcnoilts to como
from tho clinnge.
It means tho soiling of thousands
of hens that lino no pnrtlculur blood

seldom paid their feed cost. Tho
mnn who has to buy wheat for a
flock that will not lay will shed fow
tears In getting rid ot them. These

who havo stayed by their buns will

Thoso men will hnvo to bo supplied

Will Wage War Upon
Predatory Animals
ACCORDING to tho announcement
of tho District Forester at Port
land, Or., tho agricultural appropria
tion bill contained a provision by
.which $100,000 Is to bo sot aside to
ward tho destruction ot predatory
animals.
It is estimated that over $16,000,
000 worth of stock la destroyed an
nually in tho United States through
tho depredations ot such animals as
wolves, coyotes, wildcats, cougars and
bears. .
While tho biological survey will
have charge ot tho work, tho Forest
Service will co-operato with them In
the regions ot tho West, whore thoro
nro National forests. Tho service has
already had somo oxperlonce In hunt
ing wild animals.
Tho invasion of tho National for
est range In yeara past by wolves,
coyoteB and cougars has been very.
marked, and It has nt times been
ound necessary to omploy Unfiled
hunters to trap and kill theso In
vndors. Tho rnngors, too, hnvo dono
excellent work In trapping and poi
soning thoso preying nnlmnls. Hut
tho service- hns been handicapped for
lack of funds to spend In hiring men
for this purposo nnd furnishing them
with tho necessary arms and ammu
nition. Hence, tho work done hns
been but n temporary relief.
Vnw hnu'nvnt Mint nn nnnpnnpln.

At a recent meeting ot tho Oregon
Wool Orowers' Association, n resolu
tion was passed and a petition mnllcd
to Washington, urging Congress to
mnko an appropriation of $300,000
for tho extermination ot predatory
anltnnls In tho United States. While
It Is felt thnt tho present appropria
