An adequate service under direction of the Secretary of Agriculture, yet one with suf ficient flexibility. 2. Adequate recognition of the needs and rights of smaller processors and producers, so that they will not be forced out -of business by cumbersome rules and costs. 3. Administration by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and not linked to a similar service in effect for red meat. 4. Operation at public ex pense. 5. Provision for recognition and participation by state au thorities so that the nation can have a complete and uniform program. Other officials named at the session included Morris Smith, Elhcott Oity, Md., chairman; Russell Ryor, Calcium, N. Y., vice-chairman, J. C. Lambert, Ji , Trenton, N J., secretary.

Gray Squirrels Migrate Miles For Food, Dens That gray squirrels always stay near their dens, or “just run into their holes and hide” is be lieved by many observers. On the other hand, pioneer tales are re plete with reports of squirrels “migrating by thousands.” Until last fall, scientific evid ence seemed to support the opin ion tnat gray squirrels seldom wander far from home, says Ward M. Sharp, leader of the Wildlife Research Unit at the Pennsylvania Agricultural Ex periment Station. Data collected from hunters in a wide area, who shot squirrels tagged by Dr. Sharp, show that an industrious *“bushytail” may travel long dis tances in search of food. Sharp’s study area is in Cameron County, Pa., where squirrels have famine years. Of 15 squirrels recovered, seven were killed within 750 yards of their tagging s tes, three had traveled one to two miles, but five had “left the country.” They were collected six, 12, 22, 43 and 62 miles, respectively, from their former dens. A maj ority of these squirrels were fe males, indicating that the “girls” are not as attached to former homes as may have been believ ed. Ar seven year study by Sharp in Huntingdon County, Pa., where year-to-year food and dens were constant, found that no squirrel traveled move than three miles from the woodland in which it was tagged. Squirrel food was scarce in the woods last fall, but squirrels may travel also in search of dens, Dr. Sharp believes. A century or two must elapse in the development of a good den tree which may be thoughtlessly cut in a forest im provement program. Usually, such trees are unusable as saw timber and of small value as fire wood, he points out, bat they add a lot to the possibility of good squirrel hunting. Tis a sort of duty to be rich, that it may be m one’s power to do good. Mary Worthey Mon tagu. to Guernsey Cattle Club PETERBOROUGH, N. H. J.
