Harbison of Morgan hai noticed the disappearance of her early hatched chlckeni and haa been mystified concerning the cause, She has finaly discovered that it is the work of magpies, having haying lost over 100 young chicks this spring. These magpies have been caugbi in the act of pouncing down and carrying off the young chicks. In one instance one was seen eating a chicken nearly a half pound in weight, which It had killed but eould not carry way. These thieves do not stay around the premises, having be come ary by being shot at, but IONE, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1926 NUMBER 48 swoop down from dittant points like hawka and then cairy awey their piey. Mr, Harbison has recently tried to destroy these birds by meant of poisoned meat attached to a high stake but without resultM owing to the plentiful supply of young chicken which is more ap petizing to the magpies. Oiher poultry ralaers along WiilowCreek might profitably take stock of their own losses and would proba bly find that they came from the same cause. Unremitting war on the.e birds by all concerned at every season of the Tear would eem to be a good method of protecting Morrow County's poul try industry. STEIWER REPUBLICAN Eor U. S.
