Owl are ust as beneficial to the farmers and as proof of this state ment the following Is taken from a report bv Joseph S. Dixon, who made a study of the food habit of hawk and owls In the petroglvph areji of the Lava Bed national i monument: j. "On the level ground 30 feet be- low a bam owl' nest at the petro j glyph evidence was found of the ! extensive destruction of meadow mire by these owls. In an area 6 by 35 feet, were found these recentlv killed but whole rodent 42 meadow mice. 8 white-footed mice. 1 house mouse and 1 kangaroo rat. These 52 rodents represented mere ly some discards that accidentally dropped from the owT nest. "It ha been our experience that under auch circumstance where mice are abundant, an owl makes no effort to retrieve a mouse once dropped from the nest, the bird prefer to leave and fly forth In search of another victim. "From an- examination that wafl made of a large number of recent pellets under one barn owl's nest, it was concluded that 62 dead discard ed mice that were counted below the barn owl nest represented only about one-sixth of all the mice caught by that one pair of barn owls In a two-week period." A evi dence supporting this statement Dixon counted Incisor teeth of 243 meadow mice in fresh pellets col lected under another barn owl nest. It Is obvious that hawk and owl In the petroglyph cliff area kill hundreds of thousands of mice each vear In the farm In the Tulelake basin. Flu Cases Show Decline In State PORTLAND.
