With the wonderful manner, in
which the farmers cooperated In get­
ting poisoned grain last Saturday,
the squlrels and rodents of every de­
scription w ill not be as the poor,
witb us always, but will multiply and
grow exceeding fat in the land Ions
after they have entirely destroyed
the crops from which man and beast
live.
In fact the interest shown
should be highly gratifying to all
pests of the rodent variety who ex­
pect to rear a family this year, for
there will be very little instruction
to be given the younger generation
of squirrels on the dangers of poi­
soned grains. We do not believe this
lack o f interest was due to the ignor­
ance of farmers to the destructive
nature of squirrels, nor the prohib- j
itive cost of the material, but just a
careless and more or less forgetful
habit natural to all of us.
Now, next Saturday before start­
ing for town we would suggest put­
ting a label marked "Poison, Dan­
gerous” on the third finger of the
left hand and wear no gloves while
driving the flivver to town.
There will be grain ready again
next Saturday so find a can. bucket,
paper bag or your old hat and take
some home. It costs twelve and one-
half cents per quart, so it’s best to
buy two quarts to make even change.
ABk the storekeeper where you trade
where to get this, he will know. If
you haven't squirrels, gophers, chip-
monks, mice or rats to bother you,
take some home to be prepared for
the political randldates of the long­
eared, grain eating variety, who will
soon be swarming, and far more an­
noying.
