FARMERS SAY DEER
RUIN FRUIT TREES.
Harrisburg, Pa.—DMembers of the
State Game Cmmission made a tour
of inspection of the South Mountain
section to investigate reports and dep-
redations by deer.
Farmers and orchard owners of he
district have reported that the deer
have increased in numbers and bold-
ness until the damage done by brows-
ing on cultivated lands had become
considerable. The deer have a special
liking for the green shoots of young
fruit trees. One land owner reported
more than two hundred trees ruined
by deer.
The State Game Commission inves-
tigators guided by the local game pro-
tector will make a thorough study of
the situation with a view to possible
recommendations to the Legislature.
At present the land owners have no
recourse. The farmers believe that
the State should either provide some
method of securing damages or per-
mit a decrease in the number of deer.
Under present legislation a farmer
may kill a deer or other protected an-
imal if he discovers it in the act of
damaging his property. In such cases
the carcass of the animal must be
turned over to the State immediately
with a report of the circumstances.
The South Mountain section is
troubled with deer depredations prin-
cipally because it is an area surround-
ed by open lands which keep the deer
from spreading naturally in search of
food, according to members of the
Commission.
Recommendations already made to
land owners by the Commission in-
cluded advice to build sufficiently high
fences, to keep watch dogs and to
shoot deer with salt or other harmless
missiles.
Village Success Counts.
When the National Economic Re-
search Bureau completed its investi-
gation of salaries and incomes in the
United States, it found that eighty-
eight out of every hundred men in
this country have an income of less
than $2000 a year. Those who earn
$10,000 a year are so rare as to be al-
mos supermen—about one-tenth (as
I remember the figures) of one per
cent.
However, $2000 a year isn’t so bad
if one doesn’t live in ‘a large city
where he is compelled to pay a big
rent for the luxury of living near
many other people. In a small place,
$2000 a year may bring every reason-
able comfort. But how many who
earn $10,000 in a great city could earn
even $2000 in a village. Somehow, it
appears that one must come nearer to
delivering value in a small place than
in a big one. Cities are centers of
much useless activities. Think of all
the liveried apartment house door
men, eyebrow-pluckers and wash-
room brush boys in cities—to say
nothing of high-salaried publicity
agents, assistant vice presidents and
such. What chance would any of
these have in a sensible little village
or on a farm where everybody engag-
es in actual definite toil 7—Fred Kelly,

German Shipyards Busy.
German shipbuilding has from time
to time had some attention from the
shipbuilding yards of other countries;
for the German yards have been busy.
Like many other things German,
the impulse which has caused ship-
construction to go forward in Germa-
ny has come from the German gov-
ernment. As a source of directions
for industry and commerce the pres-
ent German government is not recog-
nizably different from the old regime.
So it fell out that when the govern-
ment compensated owners for the
merchant ships they had to surrender
under the treaty of Versailles it at-
tached a “string” to the payments.
The string meant that 90 per cent. of
the amount had to be used for con-
struction of new ships in German
yards.
To be sure, the ship-owners insist
that the twelve billion depreciated
marks they got do not nearly cover
their losses, that they could have more
cheaply purchased tonnage abroad,
and that they are not especially anx-
jous to have new ships delivered to
them at this particular juncture. At
any rate, the German yards keep mer-
rily at their job of building new
steamers.—Nation’s Business:
Jazz in Male Wearing Apparel.
Philadelphia.—“Conservative jazz”
will be the popular motif in male
wearing apparel for next year, accord-
ing to an edict of the International
Association of Clothier Designers in
annual convention here. Nearly 400
designers, many of whom are also
manufacturers are in attendance.
A number of the designers appar-
ently are determined that knicker-
bockers for men shall come into more
popular usage not only on the golf
course but in pursuit of other recre-
ation, but in the business office as
well. These men are wearing knick-
ers at the sessions of the convention
and are making speeches in behalf of
the advantages of the abbreviated
trousers.
“Conservative Jazz” clothes. it is
understood, will fit rather snugly, but
will not be considered “extreme style.”
An innovation which the designers
are trvine fo put over is an evening
anit for summer wear, This would he

jacket and white flannel trovpeers. At-
tived in such annarel, the designers
will hring their convention to a close

CITY LIFE BREEDING SNOBS?
Lover of the Woods and Hills Aimcst
Makes Direct Accusation in
Magazine Article.
Last summer I spent several weeks
in the woods and lived as nearly a
natural life as one wel! could. That
is, everybody wore the kind of clothes
he wirhed to, and did about as he
pleaseu, without regard to fashion or
arbitrary social custom. I noticed
that whenever anybody hired a guide
to perform work that he could just
as easily have done himself—such
as rowing up the lake to go fish-
ing—he immediately lost caste. It
was regarded as an admission of in-
ability or weakness. The man most
admired in our party was the one most
capable of being sufficient unto him-
self—able to go forth and catch his
own fish, cook his own food, and con-
struct his own rude shelter. After a
month or two I grew accustomed to
the woods idea that looking after
one’s own wants is logical and com-
mendable, and nearly forgot about the
modern city viewpoint. But the first
garage man I dealt with on my return
to civilization almost snubbed me
when he noticed that, though I had
a large auto, I was my own chauffeur
and filled my own grease cups. Then
I paused and thought how widespread
is the difference in the attitude to-
ward servants or helpers in the woods
and the city. Wherever our modern
social life is highly enough developed
it is more or less disgraceful to do
anything useful that one can possibly
hire done. A woman gains more So-
cial prestize from keeping three hired
girls than from being the most expert
cook and most systematic housekeeper
in the neighborhood. Not to have serv-
ants is to be inferior.—Fred C. Kelly,
in Leslie’s Weekly.
NOT MATTER OF GALLANTRY
Surly Man Had Reasons Entirely His
Own for Giving Up His Seat in
Street Car.
The old saying that “all fat men
are good natured” is not borne out in
Bill, an overly fat city employee of
Los Angeles. Bill is known as a wom-
an hater and looks upon girls of the
giggling age as of no use whatever.
Frequently he spreads out over an en-
tire seat in a street car and growls
like a grizzly bear if a shop girl “has
the nerve” to make him contract suf-
ficiently to make room for her.
On his way home recently Bill was
seen to arise and proffer his seat to
two girls who stood near.
“What's the idea, Bill?" asked a fel-
low employce. “Are you really getting
human?”
“Don’t kid yourself,” replied Bill
gruffly. “That’s the hottest seat I ever
encountered and I cover entirely too
much territory. That's all.”
Pity the City Child.
Little Helen is an apartment house
chiid.
Brought up in a northwest apart-
ment, the sidewalks have been her
playgrounds, passers-by and automo-
biles her playmates, the patches
around trees her only contact with
old mother earth.
Of course, there have been trips to
parks, and all that, but of nature
as an entity she knows little. Like
most city dwellers, she has to feel
the heartheat of the universe through
stone and bricks.
One day recently her mother took
her into the suburbs to visit some
friends.
For awhile the child was contented
to play in the new rooms. But at
last she grew tired.
“Go play in the yard,” her mother
said.
Helen looked in wonder.
“Where is the yard?’ she asked.—

Concrete Houses.
The use of concrete houses is be-
coming common in various sections of
the country. In connection with the
general program for the investigation
and improvement of housing condi-
tions now being carried out by the
bureau of standards, several trips of
inspection have been made by mem-
bers of the staff of that bureau te
study improvements in the building of
concrete houses. The trip recently
made included many projects in the
vicinity of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chi-
cago and Minneapolis. Great improve-
ments, both in the ordinary uses of
the concrete and in the architectural
and ornamental effects obtained, were
noted on this trip. It seems certain
that some style of concrete house will
become very common in the near fu-
ture.—Scientific American.
Improved Range Finder.
The largest range finder in the
world is more than twice the size of
any used during the war, and has
been constructed in England for use
in coastal defense, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. It was designed by
the two original inventors of the range
finder that has been in use in the Brit-
ish navy for many years, and that
consists of a horizontal tube carried
on a central frame, which rotates with
the tube on a pedestal.
New Powerful Machine Gun.
Remarkable possibilities are con-
ceivable in connection with a power-
driven machine gun, said to have
originated in Germany, but which is
now being developed in this country,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Besides having several advantages
over other machine guns, it is, or
rather will be when it is fully devel-
oped, driven entirely by external pow-
er, such as an electric motor, or a gas-
gine.

FARM NOTES.
Keep the Garden Producing All
Through the Season.—Southern gar-
dens begin to look seedy about the
middle of June, gardens in the Middle
States section are in the height of
their glory, and the New England gar-
dens are just getting well started. It
seems to be a foregone conclusion on
the part of most persons throughout
the Southern States that southern
gardens can be grown only in the
spring and in the fall, with a few
ghance hardy crops during the win-
er.
The farmer of the middie section
plants his spring garden, then gets
busy with farm crops, and very little
further attention is given the gar-
den, unless the work is done by the
women. In the New England States
and parts of the northwest where the
growing season is quite short only one
crop of most vegetables can be grown.
In the middle section, however, two
crops can often be grown on the same
land, and, more important still, a con-
tinuous supply of peas, beans, sweet
corn, and a number of other vegeta-
bles can be had by making sucessive
plantings.
The garden is generally the richest
spot of ground on the farm, and for
that reason should be expected to pro-
duce more than any other similar
area. To get maximum production,
however, it is necessary to keep the
land busy all the time. This can be
done in two ways; first, by companion
cropping, and, second, by following
one crop with another or successive
planting.
There are a number of crops that
lend themselves to companion crop-
ping. For example, where onion sets
are planted in rows, say 18 inches be-
tween the rows, a row of radishes,
spinach, or lettuce can be drilled be-
tween the rows of onions and be off
the ground before the onicns need the
space. Spinach, radishes, early beets,
or turnips can be planted between
carrots, parsaips, and salsify. A crop
oi saap beans can ferquently be grown
between the rows of tomatoes. Rad-
ish seeds may often be planted along-
side a row or peas, the radishes being
pulled and out of the way before the
peas begin to climb the treilis or
brush provided for their support or to
spread over the ground. A little later
in the season sweet corn or late cab-
bage can be planted between the rows
of early Irish potatoes and make con-
siderable of a start before the Irish
potatoes are dug.
In the extreme South a few crops
that will withstand the heat should be
planted for midsummer use. Swiss
chard, while adapted to a temperate
climate, does fairly well under south-
ern conditions, and continues to pro-
duce greens throughout the greater
part of the summer. Bussella, or New
Zealand spinach, is adapted for the
production of greens during the heat-
ed period.
In the middle section, early peas
may be followed by late cabbage, late
potatoes, late snap beans, beets, or
turnips. Early Irish potatoes may be
followed by turnips, late snap beans,
or by late sweet corn. i
Fall gardens should in no case be
overlooked, especially from the Mid-
dle States southward. Plantings of
practically all the early spring veg-
etables may be made from July to
September, according to locality, and
be brought to maturity before early
autumn frosts. By proper attention
to the garden, fresh vegetables may
be had through a period of about ten
months of the year in the extreme
South and for about seven months in
the middie section. The season for
the New England and northwestern
sections is necessarily much more lim-
ited, but even here the efficiency of a
garden can be greatly increased by a
careful study and attention to the
matter of companion cropping and
successive plantings of certain vege-
tables.
Late cabbage seed should be sown
about June 1 in most sections and the |.
Ponts set in the garden June 20 to Ju-
y 5.
should be made about 80 days before
he first killing frost of autumn may
be expected.
Most crops mature in a shorter per-
iod in the late summer than in the
spring. This is due to the shortening
of the days and the tendency of the
plant to “hurry up” to produce its
seed before winter overtakes it. It
pays to take a chance on late plant-
ings of beets, carrots, lettuce, spin-
ach, snap beans, sweet corn and tur-
nips if you like them.
As a rule early or quick maturing
varieties are best for late planting.
This does not apply, however, to Gold-
en Bantam corn which does best in the
spring. Evergreen or Mammoth
Evergreen corn are considered best
for late planting.
Plenty of fertility in the soil and a
little commercial fertilizer will help
greatly to push the late crops to ma-
turity. In some sections a little ni-
trate of soda is used as a top dressing
to hurry the plants along.
There are a great many little tricks
that should be learned and practiced
by the gardener. It is not necessary
to be a wizard to practice these tricks
but just a good, common sense gard-
ener. One of the best of these is the
use of a board laid over the row of
seeds for a few days after planting to
hold the moisture and make the seeds
start during dry weather. Another is
to flood the furrow with water and al-
low it to soak into the soil before
dropping the seeds, then cover with
dry earth. Slightly packing or firm-
ing the dry soil over the seeds will
help to bring the moisture to the sur-
face and make the seeds grow. Gar-
den tricks are easy to perform—try a
few and see the results in the form of
fresh vegetables for the table—it
means better living.
—0il the tractor and keep it oiled.
Keep the grease cups screwed down
at all times. Do not let the magneto
wires get oil or water-soaked. Strain
the oil in the crank case at frequent
intervals. More good work can be
done on the tractor with an oil can
than with a monkey wrench.
—Hogs will need dry pens if they
are to be comfortable and put on flesh
as rapidly as they should. If the pen
has a tendency to be muddy floor it.

150,000 Fishermen Licensed in State.
Harrisburg, Pa., July 19.—More
than 150,000 resident fishermen’s li-
censes have been issued in Pennsylva-
nia, and it is expected reports from
county treasurers to the State fisher-
ies department showing sales since
July 1 will materially increase that
total.
The issuance of licenses has been
affected by the weather and the fact
that the expense of the conducting of
the department must be paid out of
the licenses has caused pretty close
sailing.
The expenses of the department
run about $15,000 a month.
