Farmer, Spare That
Owl-Value as
Gopher Trap Seen
Somethiner new in the feeling
some farmers have toward owls
was presented at the executive
meetint? of the Morrow County
Livestock Growers Association
Monday night.
The chansre of heart toward
owls, usually considered dotri-
. . . J .!
mental to chickens ana uuiei
f.irm fowls, rame from a story
appearing recently in the Walla
Walla Union Bulletin. It concern
ed a farmer near Dayton, Wash.,
who contends that owls do more
good than harm and cited a
clipping from a farm journal
which said:
"It told of an avocado grower
in California who put up several
owl houses on his farm, figuring
owls were the biggest gopner
traps available. Four young barn
owls occupied one of the nouses.
"After three months, investiga
tion showed that the owls had
caught and eaten 94 gophers, 89
mice, 27 kangaroo rats, 7 moies,
4 ground squirrels,3 brush rabbits,
and 17 other creatures. No re
mains of birds or fowls were
found although young chickens
nnd ducks ran loose in the barn-
vard and orchards at all times."
The Dayton farmer estimated
that he spends at least 20 cents
for each gopher killed, and 5 cents
for each mouse. At these rates, the
California owls represented a
saving of $23.25 and were happy
to oblige.
The local stockmen plan fur
ther investigation into the value
of owls as gopher and mouse-

Auto engine wear is measured
