There are also indications that economics will finish this senseless slaughter. Consumers have enhanced the horse's value for pleasure instead of meat. The people wanting cheaper riding horses end up competing with the meat...
...More DDT. Chief defoliator is the two-inch-long larva of the gypsy moth, a fuzzy brown caterpillar with blue and red spots that daily consumes one square foot of tree leaves (but not farm crops). Almost any kind of tree leaf from maple and pine to magnolia is meat for its mandibles. What makes the gluttonous insect so Jiard to control is that it has lacked natural enemies.

Inside, a pretty young woman is dancing nude to a jukebox; the other patrons, mostly older males, sit drinking beer, droning apathetically and ignoring the woman.

In one reported scandal, two commission investigators came upon a group of officers in uniform brazenly stealing cartons of meat from a packing plant. Though the investigators called the precinct twice, no patrolman was sent to the scene. As a result of that incident, the precinct commander was transferred and 22 others, including two lieutenants and 11 sergeants, were disciplined...
