75 Years Ago - 1927
Last Saturday night several men invaded the crow roost near here and fired a number of volleys of shots into the robber birds that roost in the willows at night and all day rob the farmers of corn and other things in untold quantities.  Forty-eight of these birds were gathered together that had lost their lives and how many more were killed or wounded is not known.  The boys say if you see any cripples anywhere do your bit because the crows are fat now and good for bullion.  Crow hunting also affords an opportunity for sportsmen to keep in practice as marksmen without any danger whatever of exterminating these black pets or else violating any of the game laws.
