Looking at an old news article dated March 10,1938 ...Walworth county WI.It states that an estimated kill of between seven and eight thousand crows was made at a rookery on the Stoker farm on the county line. Men from the consevation departments of Wisconsin and Illinois set off a blast of 100 sticks of dynamite loaded with number six shot. This was the first bombing of a crow rookery in Wisconsin.

.....sounds like they had a crow problen!!!!

Our farm insurance guy grew up in Indiana and used to talk about using a stick of dynamite and gravel with corn on it to kill crows.

I remember my dad telling me how they got rid of pigeons around a feed mill one time by putting handsfull of pea gravel in paper sacks, hanging the sacks in trees and adding blasting caps. Wired everything together and boom. Think of all the implications and law suits that would be started now.

Forget Peta!! I makes me sad that we cant buy dynamite anymore.

Only the crooks can get explosives now. I wish I could find me some out of work terrorists cause I have about 20 corner posts that need to be replaced.

Dad use to drill an 1 1/2 inch hole about 3 foot deep, one stick of dynamite and he had a corner post hole. Hedge post, fill the hole about 2/3 full of big rocks, then pour in the concrete. He did all of the ones on the two farms in about 1952-1956, they are just now going bad.


Its a pain to try to dig this type of hole with a standard post hole digger.

That Char-Lynn unit is called a Torque Generator. It will not stand up to more than 1100 lbs of hyd pressure, or it will bust. Install a Tee on the pressure line leaving the hyd pump. Run one line to the orginal destination, and run the other to the torque generator. The line going to the torque generator will need a relife valve in it that is set at 1000lds MAX pressure. The outgoing line from the torque generator needs to be tied into the return line going back to the hyd oil holding tank. If you install it like this it will work great. Lots of guys have recently installed them on Farmall H's & M's. If you have any problems ask some of them. They have always been very helpful to me.

Speaking of sea gulls, here in Dallas, which is definitely not close to any coastline, sea gulls have adapted to dry land. You see them quite frequently.
