THE MONTHLY BULLETIN. 375 



"Realizing that cooperation is necessary for success in this work, and believ- 

 ing that practically all are willing to put forth some effort to rid the county 

 of this curse, we have decided to designate the week of August 13 to 18, 

 inclusive, as 'squirrel week.' and respectfully urge every landowner to assist 

 to the utmost of his ability during that time in eradicating ground squirrels 

 from his property. 



"An earnest, cooperative effort of this kind will result in the slaughter of 

 countless numbers of these pests and not only bring immediate relief to hundreds 

 who are fighting to save their crops but lasting benefit to all. 



"Tell your neighbor of 'squirrel week' and request his cooperation. If he 

 refuses, tell us and we will use an irresistible argument on him. We have no 

 desire to exercise the authority delegated to us by the new law to compel action, 

 but will not hesitate for an instant to do so if necessary. We mean business 

 and squirrels must go. Do it now!" 



We expect remarkable results from this cooperative effort. 



We have associated with the squirrels of Tulare County for thirty-one years, and 

 our experience and observation convinces us that we can render her no greater 

 service in return for the many favors she has showered upon us than by improving 

 i be opportunity afforded us by circumstances and enforcing, where necessary, the 

 eradication of squirrels from her borders. By eradication we mean, to destroy, t" 

 annihilate completely, to wipe out of existence.
