during the coming summer with the lifting of the ban on guns and making ammunition available to the gen eral public stouffville district farmers will be able to make more pot shots on these nuisance animals in fact we overheard two school boys discussing ground hogs last week and one lad from the country was telling that his dad shot 38 pounds of groundhog when another said they had des troyed 00 pounds but neither knew how many groundhogs the weight represented in any case these animals have become so numerous that they are now a serious pest to farmers who scarcely have the time to go gunning after them however every time a farmer takes a stroll he may well carry his gun back over the farm and undoubtedly will be rewarded by getting in a few timely shots at the hole diggers
