Farmer uses morphine to kill raccoons in Ambraw bottom
A farmer in Ambraw bottom sought to curb raccoon damage to corn by using morphine bought after a drugstore error. He spread the drug on ears of corn and along field paths, finding many raccoons stupefied the next day and killing several with a club.
