B. C. TO GROW TOBACCO
VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 7.—Brit
ish Columbia may become a tobacco
growing and manufacturing centre if
plans of local financiers, led by Otto
Grener, mature. It is believed that

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. (JP)—'The
Department of Agriculture has just is
sued a statement saying that the use
of poisoned salt has served to keep
away birds that had been fouling the
waters used to supply the Federal
Fish Hatchery in Lawrence County,
S. Dakota. The full text of the state
iment follows: •
A report that birds were causing
serious losses of trout fry at the
United States Trout hatchery, in
Lawrence County, S. Dakota, -was re
cently investigated by a representa
tive of the Biological Survey of the
United States Department of AgrL
culture. It was found that especially
during the hot weather woodchucks
have been coming down to the spring
that supplies water to some of the
hatcheries and rearing troughs, and
fouling and roiling the water. Two
poison boards containing salt and
coyote poisoning were placed on a
rocky ledge near the spring and in
two days 29 dead woodchucks were
counted. A supply of the poisoned |
salt was left with the superintendent j
of the hatchery, who believes that all j
damage by the woodchucks has been
ended for this season.
