Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

A prize of $250 for a method of inoculating squirrels with some contagious fatal disease is offered by the Commercial Association of Pendleton, Ore., and it is believed the county authorities will add to the sum offered. The farmers of that region are at their wits end as to how to mitigate the plague of squirrels. Tons of strychnine have been used in the effort to exterminate the squirrels by poisoning them, but little relief is had from this or any other method heretofore used.
