BIRDS WELL CARED FOR IN ORE
GON DURING GOLD WEATHER
Another meeting for all those In
terested was called at the John
Jendrzjewskl farm for Wednesday at
10 A. M. for the purpose of prepar
ing bait to poison jack-rabbits.
A meeting similar to this one had
been arranged for a few days ago
but due to a heavy snow fall It was
not thought advisable to mix and dis
tribute the poison.
It was formerly thought by pro
ject farmers that the jack-rabbits
would not be thick this winter. How
ever, more recent reports coming
from farmers in certain sections in
dlcate that the. rabbits are coming in
from the outlying districts and in
festtng local areas on the project In
great numbers. Last year many
thousand rabbits were poisoned as a
result of campaigns carried on by
local farmers in the. districts. While
rabbits are not as numerous as last
year it would be advisable to dis
tribute poison where there are many
rabbit runways In the snow. Reoent
quotations from firms who buy rab
bit pelts show that one could make
good wages by skinning the rabbits
and marketing the pelts.
