Joe Marsh Barnyard "WHOOdonit // The Barn Owl Controversy still rages in our town. One group claims owls should be protected because they eat vermin. The other faction holds that those little howlers also eat chickens ... and should be shot. Now Pops Parker claims both parties are right. All owls clean ViP vermin. So»nc owls also clean out an occasional hen yard. The way to spot a bad owl, according to Pops, is to put up a 10-foot pole in the chicken run with a No. 2 trap on it. A marauding bird generally perches to look over jthe situation before he strikes, giving you your evidence, and the culprit! From where I sit, I doubt if this will end the owl argument. People hare different opinions on the subject-just as they have different opinions about whether beer, tea or what-have-you makes the best thirst quencher. Examine the facts and make up your own nlind, I say... and be thankful we live where that's possible. - i s frUt - - AW SHUCKS, FELLERS, IT WAS NUTHIN" "Easy as pie --I just looked in the Yellow Pages to find what I wanted to huy.
