Deworeaic Waldo Bellefonte, Pa., October 19, 1928. ISSUING SPECIAL DOE LICENSES IMPERATIVE. - It is generally conceded that the deer herd of Pennsylvania must be reduced. First, because hundreds of deer are dying from starvation and from disease which results from over- crowding. Second, because of the serious damage the animals have done ‘to orchards, gardens and grain fields. ‘Third, because food and cover for valuable small game, particularly ruffed grouse, has been obliterated in many sections by deer. Fourth, be- cause it is impossible to reforest sec- tions of the State where deer are abundant because the animals destroy all the seedlings as fast as they are planted. Fifth, because as a result of over-abundance many fawns are born so late in the season that they cannot weather the winter. The leading biologist of the United States has in- vestigated conditions here and has stated that the Pennsylvania deer herd must be reduced if we are tv keep the animals from exterminating themselves as a result of over-popula- tion. The State board of game commis- sioners has been aware of the over-abundance of deer in certain counties for years and has employed various measures in attempting to solve the problem. They have opened certain districts to special doe sea- sons during the past five years; they have given the farmers or their agents the privilege of shooting deer which were doing damage and per- mitting them to keep vension for food; they have built elaborate and expensive traps in an attempt vo capture deer which were to be trans- ported to other sections; they have employed men at wages to shoot the surplus animals;—but all of these methods have failed to reduce ma- terially the number of animals. The present herd has been increasing at .a terrific rate because of the con- stant increase in the number of fawn-producing does which have been protected almost constantly since 1907. The increase of the animals is clearly shown by the fact that in 1927 twice as many legal bucks were ‘taken as in 1925 in spite of the fact that there were twenty thousand less shooters in the field. To protect farmers and orchardists from deer damage 18,415 rods of deer proof fence have been built at a cost of $26,732.00 to the sportsmen. The game commission has consid- ered innumerable suggestions con- cerning the handling of this problem. They believe that they have to date, honestly tried all legally possible, reasonable and safe methods of re- ducing the deer herd, other than the plan recently adopted. > ; The board members fully realize their responsibility to the sportsmen of the State. They have studied the problem from every angle and over a long period of time, and with their facility for gathering information from a State-wide standpoint and to a more definite degree than is pos- sible for any individual or organiza- tion of sportsmen, they feel them- selves fully competent to decide the best method of handling this very important and admittedly one-sided problem, and willingly assume the re- sponsibility for the effect of their ac- tion on the future deer hunting in the State. The board has declared a special season in the fifty-four counties in which deer were legally killed last year, for the folowing reasons: First, to thin-out deer in the dis- tricts where the deer are over-abund- ant as effectively as possible and at the same time to take enough deer from other sections of the Common- wealth to prevent the over-crowding of any additional areas in the future, and to preclude the possible destruc- tion of food and cover for other valu- able game. Second, to relieve deer damage ov- er as wide an area as possible so that no one locality can complain that it has been discriminated against. Third, to so stir up the deer herd as to put a stop to the semi-domesti- cation of the animals which has been occurring throughout the Common- wealth. : Fourth, to forestall criticism which has always resulted from the opening of restricted areas to heavy hunting for a short pefiod, and at the same time to give hunters in every section where there are deer opportunity to get deer in proportion to the number of animals in their section. Fifth, because at the time of the withdrawal of the “deer damage” bill at the 1927 session of the Legislature a solemn promise was made to the game committee of the house of rep- resentatives by the board that some certainly effective measure would be adopted to relieve widely the damage done by deer. : The deer population problem is ad- mittedly less serious in some sections of the State than in others. The board feels, however, that the only certain way of preventing the devel- opment of serious problems through- out the Commonwealth is to correct first of all the present improper ra- tio which exists betwen the sexes. Some sections where deer were killed during the last hunting season have at the present time plenty of food, but the sexes are improperly balanced: throughout the State and as the deer become more abundant their food be- | comes increasingly difficult to secure. The problém of regulating involves a careful study of ‘plant and animal life. The sportsmen of Pennsylvania in saving their deer herd from ex- termination will have the opportun- ity this year, of restoring the natural relationship -between deer and - their: environment’ in’ a region where. the development ‘of * civilization almost, completely changed the - pristine as- pects of nature. —Cut cornlow in the corn-borer in- fesved area.

Osgood. —DMorie, velvet, crepe de chine, corduroy, suede velours, all duly rub- berized and waterproofed, give a touch of elegance to a much despised garment. But the rain coat is finding its place, and no fashionable ward- robe should spurn it this year. Most of them have adhered to the trench coat in style, but have varied ail imaginable colors—green, blue, brown, reds, black and yellow. Um- brellas are frequently matched, but those who go in for color with a vengeance in rainy weather go to the ! extremity of contrasting two colors— purple and green, and red and blue. | 2 i ] (Make up your own color scheme; |have the chimney repaired if there | there’s no rule.) !

The moire is a further adaptation of the Celanese product that made so practical a moire for its daytime vogue during the Summer. Made ex- actly like the officer’s coat, sleeves becomingly yoked to the shoulder, and flap below the collar, it goes well rec- ommended for rain. Then there’s the corduroy velve- teen in the light and delicate cream tones that some prefer to all the gay- ety you offer them. And in a slight- ly deeper shade, the extremely prac- tical coat of water proof sailcloth with ventilator eyelets under the arm.

Seemed to me I never could get the natural lustre of my hair as in the schoolgirl days. And, it cost me tears—until one day, I had to have a hurry up shampoo. And, then, what do you think this strange Mr. Hairdresser did? I was shocked to see him cut two lemons in halves and squeeze them into clean rinse water. I protested. You really never heard such a plea as that man made for lemons. And, finally, to pacify him I allowed him to go ahead. Well, I had my surprise! When the lemon rinse was accomplished and the clear-water rinsing, too, I could see that something cheerful had oc- curred! Why, when he dried and started to comb my hair, there was that school-girl lustre again! Been happy ever since! So that’s my story of real, fresh California Lemon Juice. I give it to you. You see, the delicate acid of the lemon cuts the viscous curd that re- mains on the hair when you rinse with plain water. Shampoo with say two soapings, then rinse with plain water thorough- ly. Now—put the real, fresh juice of two California Lemons in about four quarts of water—and rinse sev- eral times. Then that lustrous na- tural gloss comes back. —The frequency with which the coat sleeve tightly fitted at the wrist made its appearance at midseason collections gives rise to belief that the short, simply finished glove will necessarily be the type demanded by the smartly garbed woman. And since dress sleeves are given to ex- tensions not adaptable to fitting in- side the glove, this belief is further strengthened, says a fashion corres- pondent in the Cincinnati Enquirer. The flared coat sleeve, worn over the tightly fitted or flared dress sleeve, will best be accompanied by one of the longer gloves, especially of the mousquetaire type. Dot patterns creep into the fall mode, both of the polka dot and larg- er sizes, particularly prominent in printed velvets. Combinations cur- rently favored are red dots on black and white dots on navy. In trimming details gold continues a favorite of the courtourers, and sil- ver is more frequently used because of the marked use of gray, which also brings to the fore a use of steel. —Tough meat may be made tender ‘by sprinkling with vinegar.

Af- ter picking it should be well cured in a building properly ventilated and heated for the purpose. —Brood sows will do better after the pasture season if they get some ' alfalfa in their ration. It can be fed in racks or mixed with other feed. In such feeding it should compose about five per cent. of the ration. —Gardeners who have mature en- dive should not lose any time before tying up the During the recent sunny weather en- i dive made considerable growth and | should continue to grow until No- | vember. —Pennsylvania potato growers find at it pays to plow under a good growth of sweet clover or some other legume in the fall. Shallow plowing is practiced. Then in the spring the i soil is plowed deep in preparation for planting. —For the quick improvement of a very poor soil sweet clover is out- standing. It thrives well on such soil, provided it is limed and inoculated, and is an efficient producer of nitro gen and organic matter. . —Newly-seeded fields of clover should be carefully inspected for buckhorn. If any plants are found they should be destroyed. When it matures seed, the weed is setablished and it will require patience and per- sistent effort to exterminate the pest. —ULook over the sprayer now and I clean all the equipment. Make sure there is no water left in the parts by opening the drain plugs. Then run oil through to prevent rusting. Note repairs needed and order them at once so they will be in place when ! the sprayer is needed in the spring. —Many of the diseases to which chickens are subject are ‘caused by unsatisfactory housing Make all repairs to the winter quar- ters before the pullets are housed. If the curtains on the front of the house have been used for more than one season replace them with new mus- lin or burlap. The old curtains are filled with dust and will not allow the air to pass. : aks —Poultrymen of Pennsylvania who ture stock through infestations of round worms and tape worms can prevent these losses. The Poultry Department of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Experiment Station has demonstrated that chicks can be kept free of round worms and tapeworms during the brooding period and to ma- turity. Also if these clean pullets thus produced arehoused inclean laying quarters, and under fly-screening, loss ed. chicks were brooded in confinement causes the first year from hatching time to maturity was 10.2 per cent. During 1928 it will be slightly higher due to the introduction of a breed of fowls for instructional purposes that was infected with bacillary white diarrhea. —The apple grower is annually confronted with the problem of judg- ing the correct time to pick his fruit. If picked too early, the apples are unduly subject to scald and wilting in storage; if picking is delayed too long, heavy losses may be incurred from dropping and internal break- down will shorten the storage life of the fruit. There are several points which taken together will indicate rather accurately the proper time for pick- ing, he declared. Of these, perhaps the shade of green on the uncolored side of the apple furnishes the most accurate index to maturity. When the bright leaf green begins to fade and take on a yellowish or whitish tinge the fruit is generally in the right stage for picking. Seasonal, varietal, and soil variations make it impossible to name the shade of green which will be correct in all cases, but this change in color is quite significant in estimating maturity. The ease with which the stems part from the tree will indicate the proper time for picking. The time for har- vest is generally at hand when a con- siderable number of the fruits may be freed by lifting and slightly twist- ing the stem. The number of drops will suggest the degree of maturity, but the grower should bear in mind that the fruits may increase in: size from six to ten per cent..the last 10 days before picking and a few drops .do not necessarily mean that a small- er tonnage of picked fruit will be har- vested. While the summer varie- ties may be ripe when the seeds are still quite white, this rarely if ever occurs with the winter sorts, and with these the seeds may even turn brown a considerable time before maturity. In recent years there has been devel- oped. a device for testing the firmness of the flesh, and while this gives some promise for the future it is at pres- ent not widely used by growers. “It is clear that we have no single measure for the maturity which is [accurate under all conditions, but the ‘grower who carefully weighs the above mentioned points is not likely ‘to be far wrong. in estimating the best time to harvest his crop.” heads for bleaching.

Cali Beilefonte 432 Doors, Millwork and Roofing to Farmer, Says Republican Banker. Kankakee, IIl.—“Fifty dollars per acre for your vote!” That slogan in big black type is | appearing in local newspapers at the head of full page advertisements which are being paid for by F. G. Snow, local farmer and banker. Mr. Snow, one of the leading Re- | publicans in the community, points out that farm lands on the average ‘are worth $50 less an acre than they , were seven years ago and calls upon ‘all Republicans to repudiate Hoover ‘and the Coolidge policies. He said: “Though I have always been a strong Republican, I would be a sec- ,ond Benedict Arnold to the people who patronize my bank if I support- red my party’s Presidential nominee | this year. The prayer of the farmer : today is not for rain but for the elec- tion of ‘Al’ Smith. “As the head of a large bank in the farming district I daily come into contact with numerous farmers who face ruinous conditions. The adver- tisement is my contribution to defeat Herbert Hoover, the farmer’s arch- enemy and the very man who was responsible for maintaining the fixed prices on wheat and hogs, to the dis- advantage of the farmer, during the war. “I have had many requests from Indiana, Iowa, Tennessee, Kansas, . South Dakota, Nebraska and Mon- ' tana for permission to reprint it.” In ' the advertisement, Mr. Snow said: “Mr. Farmer, in pre-war days every acre of good land was worth from $25 to $75 more per acre than 'it is worth today, and for what rea- son? Farmers are now paying a : tariff-protected price for nearly ev- erything they buy, and because of a small surplus, are compelled to sell what they produce at prices unpro- tected by the tariff, for their tariff is absolutely ineffective because of a small surplus. “Nearly four years ago Mr. Cool- idge was elected President on a plat- form containing a strong farmer-aid plank. Since his election he has done nothing to relieve the depressed agri- cultural conditions, but has twice ve- toed a farm-aid McNary-Haugen biil . which was backed by a united agri- culture and twice approved by Con- gress. “I do not care whether you are Catholic or Protestant, wet or dry, the fact remains that the steady con- fiscation of farm lands is still going on to an alarming extent. I claim that a vote against Hoover is a vote for a $50 average increase in the price “of the farmer’s land, and a chance to ‘return to prosperity for the tenant farmer as well.” Nuts To Be Plentiful.

Freemason Who Opposes Smith Be- trays Order. A Freemason is disloyal to his or- der and betrays it if he opposes the election of a Catholic to the Presi- dency on religion grounds, according to Supreme Court Justice Townsend ; Scudder, former Grand Master of ! Masons in New York State. In a letter to William Ritchie, Jr., a fellow mason of Omaha, Nebraska, and chairman of the Smith-for-Presi- dent clubs in that State, who had telegraphed that some Masons were refusing to support Smith, Justice Scudder wrote. ! “There is no connection between ' my Freemasonary, the Governor's Catholicism and my advocacy of his election as President. Freemasonary | has no concern with any man’s relig- | ion other than to exact of its mem- bers belief in God and moral lives. Governor Smith is a God fearing man, a churchman and lives a moral life. | “It follows then that a Freemason ' is disloyal to his order and betrays it who opposes Governor Smith’s elec- tion solely because the Governor is a Catholic, and such an one is also dis- loyal to our country because he ap- plies a religious test as a qualification for office which the constitution of the United States forbids. ! “Governor Smith to my mind typi- fies the spirit and genius of America. | His life and attainments are, and ever will be an inspiration to our youth. I support him for Presidency for the very reasons which impelled my fore- | bears to support Abraham Lincoln. | 1 Justice Scudder is a former mem- ber of Congress and has served as a member of the Supreme Court bench of New York State almost continually since 1907.

Four cents postage to cover mailing, is asked by the Department. The book is free. Many letters commend the new shape of the book, a handy size not subject to damage as were former editions. Department officials say early re- quests were not accompanied by post- age and ask that this be borne in When Speaking of Spares... In contrast with the early days of motoring, when one speaks of the “spare” today there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that he is referring to the extra tire. In the earlier period of the automobile, “spare” might have meant anything from a spark plug to a light bulb. It reflects the fact that car use has become so uni- versal that there’s always a shop, fill- ing station, or garage just around the need. But, there is one spare that it That’s a light fuse. i Many cars carry two or three extras mi ! at State College. Mortality from all | cracking nuts used to form a diver- behind the switch.
