Pursuant to authority given in
Chapter 127 of the lUlU Session laws,
of the Slate of Oregon, the Morrow
County Court has instructed the
County Agent to serve notice to the
parties owning, leasing, occupying,
iit)..sessing, or having charge of or
dominion over land infested with
jack rabbits, that steps must be
taken immediately ii exterminate
the same under supervision of the
county agent.-
1. Poison will be furnished as
long ;'s funds voted for the purpose
are available.
2. Each Individual will bo reyuir
tt io provide proper bait, treat, put
same oui on lands he owns or con
trols, which are infested with rab
bits. 3. Poison will be placed in the
hands ot the committeemen in areas
that are Infested from whom it can
be secured. It is also available at
the county agent's office,
I. Prepare poison baits as follows:
Dissolve one ounce sulphate strych
nine in one gallon of boiling water
and sprinkle on 10 to 12 pounds of
alfalfa leaves, chopped alfalfa, last
cutting of alfalfa hay. wheat or rye
heads, or short cuttings. Stir the
bait constantly so" that all will be
come thoroughly dampened,
5. Put out in the trails in the
canyons where the rabbits are con-1
grt gating While sheep are off the!
range. When the .sheep are on the
range the pens can be used. These
must be prtbaited however before
putting out the poison to gel the
rabbits accustomed to feeding there,
Otherwise the pens are absolutely
rSJSNMtJM i si! th poison put in Ibem
practically wasted.
8, In the wheal growing sections
the wheal bladings are much more

ing it is scattered properly. Don't

ground With the rain that usually
comes about the time the snow
leaves, providing the bait is not put
out in piles.
8. In places where drives can be
organized successfully or other
means put into effect for Immediate
control of the post, they can be sub
stituted fen poison.

unless the holdings are rid of the
pest, that the court shall hire the
work done and the expense will be
assessed to the individuals and col
lected in I lie man&er taxes are col

and will not work hardships on any
man who attempts lo comply with
iis. provisions. Because of the great
damage done by these rodents, the
court deem it Imperative that con
certed action be taken and it is ex
pected thai every individual owning
or occupying land Infested with jack
rabbits will comply promptly lo the
end that these rodents may be ron
trolled ami exterminated while con
dtttons are favorable.
('round squirrels will also come
under this provision of Oils act and
