Show XADA SUGGESTS AVAR OX THE RABBITS In Des Moines County. Iowa where the capltol of the state is located, they pay 12 cents a piece for pocket gophers. In 1916 that county alone paid $12,000. Yet we don't hear it said that the country is no good on account of these pests. If the counties or the state would pay a bounty like that on rabbits and so-called chizzlers. we believe it would be a wonderful encouragement encourage-ment to farmers, not alone homesteaders, home-steaders, and would soon show a large increase in taxable property. Let's work together and get thp bounty on rabbits raised. All in favor say "I." More weather this week made the dry farmers smile- when not compelled com-pelled to be out in it. We hear much about the old ox art mode of traffic, but the freight recently, seems to ba as slow. |
