One way to reduce skunk activity is to keep garbage areas clean. Grain storage areas, since they attract mice, also attract skunks Limit mice in bams, bins, etc . and you'll limit skunk activity For more information on skunks, contact the Extension Office at the Pcttvtohn Building in Hcppner In ancient Russia, it was batiavad that a sham of rad wool w ound about tba arms and lags would w ard oft fevers fife ) The Factory- Beauty Salon f y f o u .s e USUA TOMS JUDY DAN I U S a n il« OfMT«« **r Lexington Lumber Yard 2 0 0 fl 989-8586 x 4*4 C 19** f* j hlN'*' ^ NW Iti • • ' « # , , •.
