Rabbits Die bv Thousands in Poison
ing Campaign Weather Right
For Best Results
K. W. Morse. County agent ami A.
W. Moore, of the U. S. Blologtca I
Survey, superintended the pblsontng
of rabblti In the West End on lust
Saturday ami Sunday. A number of
the farmers gathered at the Weston
ranch, where the hay was cut with an
ensilage cutter and Messrs Moore and
Morse prepared the poison. About :i
thousand rabbits were killed on the
bunch grass between the Westerns and
Marshalls. The Delation Druthers
and Robt. Wilson reported that they
have poisoned several thousand in
their neighborhood ami that several
hundred were killed on the raw land
north of Jenkins and B rices'. A. S
Tate and the Atterburys' report the
lulling of several thousand more in
their neighborhood. The East Enders
were also poisoning and report a large
harvest of the long eared pests in that
section of the Project
Some of the range horses have al
so taken the poison and died accord
ing to reports.
Splendid Xmas Program Given
The Christmas tree at the Church
was nttended by a small crowd on
Xmas eve "because of the bitter cold
weather. The program was especially
good this year, the pantomine direct
id by Mrs. J. 0. Russell was worthy
of especial mention. It portrayed the
mother Mary bending over the cradle
( f the Infant Jesus. The Angels, who
sang, the shepards in their skin cos
tumes, with their crooks and the Three
Wise Men who came bringing their
gifts and bowed in worship, vere all
most realistic. Mr. Russell sang two
selections during the pantonine, ac
companied at the piano by Mrs. Russ
ell. There were several Christmas
songs by the audience, the dialogues
and recitations by the smaller f ilks
were all well rendered and most en
tertaining. Mrs. Horry Warren spoke
briefly on the Armenian question and
then Santa Clans came with a treat
for all.
