Appeal to Help Reduce Number of Crows in State Nebraska Gams Commission Joining Other States in War on This Species of Bird Life. According to a report received by the Journal, crows are on the in crease in all parts of the country, and in recent investigations have proved decidedly injurious to our game, poultry and to farm crops. A recent bulletin from "More Game Birds in America, Inc." shows that the crow is the worst natural enemy of the ducks on the breeding grounds. The report in part is as follows: "Seeking to ascertain the causes of duck mortality in the vast breeding grounds of Manitoba, Saskatchev.an, Alberta, the Dakotas and Minnesota, questionnaires were distributed thru state and Canadian game officials and organizations to farmers, hunt ers, trappers, game wardens and oth er volunteer investigators. Of an even 1000 cases of duck destruction by predators reported by 551 of the observers, 366 cases were blamed on Jim Crow. "Hard-pressed for food early in the spring, crows are particularly destructive to duck eggs. Destruction of eggs and ducklings affects the early breeding species of ducks most severely, since they begin to nest at a time when vegetation is in early growth and too thin to conceal their nests. "So persistent have crows become in their search for duck eggs that ef forts of farmers to protect duck nests during the mowing season have be trayed nesting sites to the wily black birds. In many places it has been found that protective vegetation left uncut around nests in mowed fields forms conspicuous marks, easily de tected by crows and ether natural enemies, which, in most cases, destroy the eggs the farmers endeavor to save, the report reveals." The Nebraska Game, Forestation & Parks Commission is recommending a general clean up of crows in Ne braska, and is asking the assistance of all parties interested in the pro tection and increase of game. Our goal is to decrease the crow popula tion by 1,000,000 birds. Experience has taught that the best place to kill crows is at their roosting place when they come in to roost. v i : Various methods can be used, but the method used will depend sorae wkhat on the location and extent of the roost. On the larger roosts, where it is possible to secure the as sistance of an aeroplane, a great many crows can be killed with guns. The plane flying low over the roost ing place, scaring the crow3 until they are afraid to leave the protec tion of the trees. Eombs placed in trees where they roost and exploded after the crow3 have gone to roost has proven suc cessful in many cases, but care must be used. In all methods used, per mission should be secured from the land owner. Shooting from a blind near roosts, using crows, or a mount ed owl as decoys, will afford sport and account for many crows. Crows may be trapped in a wire trap built from chicken wire and old lumber, in which is placed the carcass of a dead animal, or part thereof, for bait. Glue prints giving size and dimen sions of material to be used will be furnished free on application to the State Game Commission office. Get in touch with your local dep uty conservation officer for assist ance in organizing your crow eradi cation program. Any suggestions a3 to methods used in getting rid of crows will be appreciated.
