The other does not have illustration. I have many more of these booklets -- some here on the site, some not processed -- so if you are looking for an oldie let me know and I 'll see if I have it.

The Crow In Its Relation to Agriculture: Is It A Farm Pest? (1920)

By: Kalmbach, E.R.

Price: $6.95

Publisher: United States Department of Agriculture: 1920

Seller ID: 2514

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very Good condition

Old farm bulletins are interesting even to an urbanite like me. In their day they were the gold standard, replete with the imprimatur of the Department of Agriculture. Some of the material has been overridden by modern technology of course, but there's still nuggets of gold that can be very useful. This is one of the good ones, the result of much studying of crows in various locations. Booklet has 20 clean, tightly bound pages and measures 6" x 9". Booklet is illustrated with black and white photos, a graph and a map.

Condition: Good to fair

Oh, how I wanted these! There were 20 altogether, but half of them were too awful to contemplate.

There's also some vertical creasing, but I am going to iron them ASAP and put them in the book press overnight. There are many topics, incl...
