Mrs. Gray discouraged the
bounty plan and showed that this
is already a burden on predatroy
animals with no appreciable de
crease in them, or at least figures
would indicate such to be the
case. She had figures to show
that during the first year this
bounty was paid, from June 7,
1909 to the same date the follow
ing year this county paid out
$4911: for the corresponding
period for the post year it was
$9108.60.
A meeting has been called at
the Valley View grange next
Saturday, Feb. 28, to complete
this organization and arrange to
order the fence. The Times
Herald is pleased to note this
disposition among the farmers
to help themselves in such
matters and holies to see it a
success. We have not considered
that a bounty on rabbits would
bring any relief and would be a
very expensive experiment. In
fact the writer has stated it
would be less expense and more
practical for the county to buy
the fence rather than place a
bounty on rabbits.
