The city purchaser of meat does not always realize the really serious difficulties to be overcome before a choice cut of steak or a cheaper stewing piece can be brought to market. He buys what he wants or can afford, aleasways marveling at the inci - If the supply of food costing were increased by $300,000,000 worth, the cost would be correspondingly less, and when the purchaser is informed that this value of meat and other foodstuffs is wantonly destroyed every year in the United States !he is likely to situp and take notice. More, he is likely to investigate the cause of the waste bnd to help stop it, if possible. Foodstuffs worth these millions of dollars are destroyed every year through- the ravages of wild predatory animals and of small grain eating and crop de-- stroying rodents. , ' Unlike the hordes of injurious Insects w hich prey oh the crops almost unseen, these animals are large enough to be coped with singly arid at a comparatively small cost, fori instance, are . Wolves, caught one at a time, either in the trap or by poison or with pawder and shot. These animals do not fcrowl the country over night after .night with only an occasional meal once or twice a week, but like other beasts must obtain their food more or less legul-rlAs live stock are esmorsels for them choice pecially the destruction each animal inflicts on a herd is enormous. It does not require any stretch of the imagination therefore, to grasp the fact that each wolf destroys annually an average of $1,00(1 worth of live stock. The growing bey could not be bo voraeiou. every Therefore, means a year supply of food for several boys er grown men. Multiply this $1,000 destruction of good food by the total number of wolvtn in the cunlry and we have a v- - - t , '.T mesticated flocks and herds. " In the' rummer and early fall of last vear hunter?- of the Bureau of Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture killed nearly 200 wolves, mors than half cf them in Texas, one of the greatest meat producing states of the union. Wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico are the better eff for having lost in this campaign about 60 of these marauders- But wolves are not the only sulpritg that need to be dis patched if we are to market all the me;,t actually produced on our extemivo "'ranges. It has been estimated by officials of the -- - Department of Agriculture that mountain lions and stock killing grizzlv bears each destroy annually $500 worth of live stock, and that each coyote and bobcat consumes ?. tenth of this "amount. Coyotes and bobcats, however, are manv times more numerous than ,the mountain lion- - and bears, judging trom the numbers destroyed by hunters cf the Biological Survey, During part of the last summer and fall 8 mountain lions and 27 besrs paid the death renalty for their marauding, while in the fame time mere than 1,000 bob-- , eats and more than 10,000 coy ates were exterminated, Had these animals been allowed to go about their nefarious work unmolested through the year, and through the rest of THE CALL TO ACTION BOMBING AN I S h i T f Tuesday, May 7, 1918. been ah increasetn ENEMY TRENCH, The following striking verses were penned by an unknown author who, for some reason or; other, chooses to conceal his or her identity.
