The Farmers in Suffolk County raised huge fields of rape and often ringed them with carbide guns that periodically gave off a tremendous blast to scare away the "woodies" or wood pigeons who would descend in great flocks and feast upon the growing plants. The corn (wheat) growers used the dead crow method as your fine shots clearly illustrate. Takes me back again, Graham. Walker
