SALE SATURDAY
CYANIDE USED
********
TO KILL COYOTES
#**** *
ON LAMB'S HEAD
A. S. Jackson, biologist for the
Wild Life project in Shackelford
county, told members of the Al-
bany Chamber of Commerce at the
Saturday luncheon that a new
method of coyote eradication is
being tried out on Lamb's Head
ranch, and at that time more than
SO of the wolves had been killed
and were hanging in trees. He
explained that government men
were here to set out the traps, and
to work them.
The wolves are killed by a dis-
charge of cyanide. The poison, in
a cartrage, is tripped when the
wolf bites at a piece of sheep skin
covering the instrument. The shell
is discharged, and the cyanide is
fired into the wolf's mouth. Mr.
Jackson said they seldom got many
feet away from the trap.
Talking About Homing
The chamber continued its dis-
cussion pertaining to housing, and
hopes to get some of the govern-
ment houses to relieve Albany's
very acute housing problem.
Announcement of the 4-H club
calf show was made, which was to
be held Saturday afternoon at the
sale barn.
Hill Hill, operator of the Al-
bany Flying Service, was present,
and reported he hoped to g. ! an
agency for a popular airplane for
some 21 counties.

study a I'nited States Chamber of
Commerce referendum and report
it to the local group next week.
