The $3.00 bounty being paid on cvcry adult skunk snout turned in during the pionth of April is pro- ducing results. ‘Jimmie’ skunk knows that there ie a. war on and no mistake. To date an average of approximately 100 mouts a day are coming into the bounty office since April 1st. If the present ra-te of kill holds up. the take for (he month will not be for shofl of the three thflilfiflfld mark. No bounty will be paid after April 30th. Whe- ther or not it will be put into e!- fect again this coming fall is a question no one will attempt to answer st the presmii. One thing i5 definite: no bounty will noun, be paid during the warm weather| months. and never again on youns. ones. The skunk farmers put an‘ end to that practlfe.‘
