Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 May 1917 — Crows Holding Their Own. [ARTICLE]

Crows Holding Their Own.

There has been hostility between the farmers and the crows ever since there were farmers in New England, bpt the number of crows, so far as .anyone knows, has not decreased. They are efficient, they are able to care for themselves and are likely to hold their own, no matter how much the population may increase. More than that, despite the severity of winter, each crow looks sleek and well-fed, perfectly at home and contented with its surroundings. The English sparrows and the starlings may seek shelter during severe wehther, but, no matter how cold or stormy it may be, one finds the crow doing business as usual. If the quail and ruffed grouse were as hardy and intelligent and possessed with an equally catholic taste for food, a whole volume of game laws might be done away with.
