I in this area, since the Commis-
sioners Court of Montague
County, a few days ago, in co-
____<>per;.ti::n with other adjoining--
$—^counties, voted to authorize pay-
rhent of a bounty of $3 on every
grown wolf and $1 each for the
wcalp of pups.
The two ears must be connect-
ed with part of each wolf scalp,
and each of the counties pays
the same bounty.---- ___
The court passed the act fol-
lowing receipt of information
from many farmers and poultry-
men that wolves and foxes have
become so numerous that ’ tre-
mendous losses are being caused
by the animals, in some instance
putting turkey growers out of
business. Experiences had from
other counties where wolf and

launched in years passed; and
