Ist, and went out Dee, 15th, Other small game which could be shot earlier, was in season when those were, and when the hunter went into the woods be could shoot at anything. This year the qnall season extends from Nov. 1 to Dec, 15; rabbits are from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31; and ruffled grouse, the pheasants, Hungarian quail and squirrels are in season from Oct. 15 to Nov. 380 This gives the illegal huaoter, who doesn’t respect game laws, 10 weeks of shooting, from Oct, 15 to Dec. 31 Last year it was six weeks, and if a man went hunting at any other time he broke the law. Now a grouse hunter, who doesn’t mind breaking the law, can shoot quail or rabbit as early as Oct, 15, and hide them ; and the man who is after rabbits late in December can bag quail and grouse with little chance of detection. Ives bad for the sportsmen and bad for the game, The deer season has basen changed Chie year it opens Nov. 10, and closes Dee. 2 Last year it was from Nov. 15 to Dec. 1. The fact that it opens five days earlier is not a great det- riment and as the law has been ‘hapged in defining a legal der, so hat a “male with horns two inches above the halr,’’ instead of a ** male with horns visible above the hair,’ is the legal quarry. As a fawn has no horns at sll, just little lumps where the antlers afterwards grow, and a buck of 18 months has “spikes” 10 inches long, this provision will give oo hunter an excuse to kill a fawn, A law protecting elk absolutely un- il November, 1921, has been passed in order that the elk imported into this stale may have a chance to es tablish themselves, A closed season of two years o wild turkeys has been establishec Blackbirds, doves, kildeers and plover are on the protected list, These acts are beneficial, Wild ducks can be shot, according t» Pennsylvania law, from Bept. 1 to April 10, but according to govern- ment regulations, only from Sept, 1 Dee. 15 This cuts out spriog hooting. Oa the Oblo river they may te shot only duriog November and December, 0 Crane or swan or curlew or any shore birde, excepting the black-breassted and golden plover, Wilson or Jack duipe, woodeock and yellow legs, can be legally killed for su period of five years in Pennsylvania, Under this provision it will be ille- gal afier Oct. 1, 1913, to kill any up- land or grass plover, or any of the sand-piper family before BSeptember 1915 No shore birds may be killed between Dec 16 and Sept, 1. Tuls national law controls and lim- ils state laws relative to game in all cases where the stale law conflicts with the national law in a manner tending to lengthen the season as fix- el by the pational law, but it does not atlempt to alter or in any man- ner change laws enacted by the state that are withio the time limit as fixed by that national law, A state may shorten the time dur- ing which, as fixed by the national law, game may be legally killed, but no state has the power to lengthen that time. RES. gE —— “Ut the Hook!" From the Bellelonte Gazette, Centre Hall erjoys (?) the dis tinction of baviog the worst patch of road through its main street that is tu be found between, Bellefonte and Lewisburg. During the fore part of the summer the road was covered a foot deep with crushed stone which has been left lie un- covered and rolled all summer, com- pelling sutomobiles to creep ‘along the edges of the streels and almost over the dining tables in the kitchens to avold being cut to pleces by the bed of sharp stones. Part of the road is eovered and rolled and is all right, but why three fourths of the public road through a corporation should be made impassible for a whole season by neglecting to complete it Is some- thing few can understand and we would suggest that the pretty little town heat a poker and gel after its supervisor, { Cogtinued from previous column ) Sheasley, A.

Rapp Twirls Both Games—Alllson Winner for Locals The Centre Hall and Boalsburg base- ball nines engaged in two conflicts during the past week, and each suc- ceeded in landing a game by a wide margin, In the two games Boalsburg totaled 18 runs and Centre Hall 16 Despite the disparity in the scores in both games they were nevertheless bitterly fought. Each game was play- ed on the occasion of a Bunday-school pienie ; the first on Thursday, at Cen- tre Hall, when the Lutherans met in s reunion, and the second on Baturday, at Boalsburg, when the different Bunday-schools of the fown came to- gether in a union pienie. A brief story of each game follows : THURSDAY'S GAME. Boalsburg again went down to de- feat at the hands of the Centre Hall base ball team on Grange Park, Thursday of last week. The score was 11 to 5. Iu the series of four games played between the two clubs, Centre Hall has come of! victorious on three occasions, and incidentally it might be said that Boalsburg has been the only ball club to lower the local’s colors this season, Allison, who did mound duty for #sveral inuiogs in recent games, pitch- ed his first full game and performed splendidly. He fanned seven of the opponents and gave only two bases on balls, He was supported in the usual good manner by his team bases. Rapp, for Boalsburg, also twirled ex- cellently, and the large score of the locil team was not a result of inefici- eoncy on his part, but dus largely to the poor work on the Boalsburg de- fense. Rapp never pitched a better game; he had speed and excellent control throughout the entire game, His record for the day reads thus: Number of hits off his delivery, 7; bases on balls, 2 ; struck out, 12 nonarr did the best stickwork of the day. His three-base hit on his first Vv of the game. Kerlin pulled off nN star calch of the afternoon when he sped across the lawn in left sod inter cepted Bar's long drive along the foul line, He was unable to shut oft power before striking the fence along the left field line and the impact threw him to the ground with great fores, His naked fist eontsiniog the ball was up in an instant and allsyed all fear that the jolt bad caused him to drop the ball. Hegot a great hand from & Sunday-school picnickers. No ball club that steps on Grange Park conducts themselves in a more gentlemanly manner than the boys from Boalsburg. No profane or ob- scene language ever passes their lips ; their eyes are never in search of a ball or bat which they might sppropriste to their own use as is the custom of some nines who should hold no place in the great national game. Boals- burg glories in a victory but they can also go down to defeat iike men. Victor Auman and Cleveland Mitter- ling were tae umpires of the game. THE SCORE BY INNINGS, Boalsburg —200010200-— 5 Centre Hall—0 2041211 x11 ——— BATURDAY'S GAME Oae inning, the fourth, proved the downfall of the Centre Hall team at Boalsburg. Almost every error in the catalog of baseball was committed by the visiting club in this inning, snd when they fiually came to their true form, nine rune had been scored by Boalsburg, and it proved enough to cinch the game. Becore, 18 to 5. Rupp, who pitched at Centre Hall two days previous, was again in.the box for Boalsburg, and the manner in which the local nine went after his offerings at the start made it appear that his stay on the mound would be short. It was merely a spuri, how- ever, for from the second until the eighth inoing Centre Hall failed to get in the run column, Three more runs in the eighth brought the total to 5. While Boalsburg played a superior article of ball, their thirteen runs were not a result of extraordinary batting. Elimioating the eventfal fourth they did little with the delivery of the local twirlera, After a long rest from mound duty it was hoped that Bradford would succeed in his effort to land the game and make the sessons series four games to one in Centre Hall's favor, He opened up strong, but developed a sore arm in the third and Boslsburg took advantage of this fact and the shortcomings in the local's flelding and piled up enough runs so assure them the geome. Allison relieved Bradford in the fifth and held the enemy well in hand for the rest of the game, Bmith caught the entire game and prevented scoring on several oo- casions by grand stops of wild pitches, Lonebsrger, for Doalsburg, did | Continued st foot of next column] DON'T OVERDO 17, Guard the Treasury, Mr, Powell, But Use Good Judgement in Dolog So Pennsylvania has been so dilatory in the matter of competent road building that it Is to be regretted that Auditor General Powell finds it necessary to re- tard that work. His interpretation of the law seems trivial, but his section is one that would be prompted by sound business sense, Highway Commission. er Bigelow also acted with the judg- ment of a careful business man. When he found that the fees from automobile licenses, which the legislature specif. lcally said should go to the highway department for use in road work, were held up by the auditor general he promptly ordered the work stopped. Thies means not only a heavy loss to the contractors, but it also promises costly litigation for the state, The auditor general says be is guid. ed by the law that says he shall not Approve warrants on the state treasury unless the appropriation act sets forth the specific amout which shall be ap- plied for particular work, There is no way to tell how much the license fees will amount to, but as there is a mill ion and a halfdollars already available, the auditor general can honor warrants to that amount and permit the road building to proceed. If he wants to take advantage of all the tiny legal niceties which will confront him Mr Powell can easily tie up the entire state, It may be that his unfamiliar. ity with the office has made him shy As the watch dog of the treasury this is commendable, but there is such a thing ss overdoing it. a ——— — —— Harvest Home Service on Park.

M, Stiffler in Letter from Freeport, Editor Reporter Ioclosed find the price of your periodical for another year. We could hardly get along without this weekly visitor, as it keeps us in close touch with the community that gave us our firet inspirations in some useful career later in life. We enjoy reading the letters from subscribers, such as those of George L. Goodhsrt and A. P. Wieland, etc, they give a true and comprehensive idea of our vast nation- al resources and of the varied gpheres of useful endeavor, in which are found former Centre county boys. By the way, the writer has hed the pleasure of a visit from two of his sisters, a piece, and G. IL. Gcodhart and wife of your locality within the past few weeks, Crops promise large yields, but at present we are greatly in need of rain, corn is beginning to size in some loca- lions sud late potatoes are rather worsted on account of the torrid heat of July, snd deficient moisture now. The hay crop was heavy, but pastures ead rain ; the small fruit was good, particularly cherries. The writer harvested nearly quarts from about 75 twelve year old trees. The net relu.ns amounted to $234 00, Grapes and apples are plentiful, Raspberries sold as high as 20 cents per quart, new potatoes are worth §1 00 per bushel. Hay $10 per ton, and corn ‘Oils per bushel. The threshing The crop of straw is the yield of grain does not measure up to the yields of last season. The quality is good. Ia a letter to your weekly, about a year sgo, the writer referred to the ravages of the common white grub in northern Illinois and adjacent portions of Iowa and Wisconsin. Asking a little farther espace and your indal. gence, the writer may succeed in spreading a little information that may be of benefit to some of your read- in localities. The white grab, as it effected us last semson, js a new and serious mensce to sgricul- ture. Ouoe man reported to our state entomologiet a loss of $10,000 on his farm by this pest last seseon. The loss on the entire area effected by the grubs is estimated at several million dolisrs. Toe habits of the grub make it impossible of attack on treatment by any means now known, thst would eff «cluslly destroy the insect without irjary to the crops that are threatened. ¥ becomes necessary, therefore, for every farmer to observe and study, and thus gain ao insight into the life history of this pest, so 8s to enable them to com; rehend the significance of any threatened invasion of their fields by the grubs. White grubs, as most of us know, are the young of the common May-beetle or * June-bug,” as commonly designated. There are numerous species of these nocturnal visitors, but the pareust of the one so destructive to our growing crops has a life cycle of three years from egg to egg. The fields infected and affected inst season were kept nude of nearly every variety of vegetation. Clover and certain other of the legume family were immune from the ravages of the grabs ; canada thistles, wild morning glories, wild rose bushes, fox tall and many other noxious weeds were kept io check by the grabs dar- ing the entire summer. The writer in his various trips, took into account the vast scope of country effected. Last August he noticed flslds of twen- ty acres or more of corn that looked as though scorched with flame, and some of it nota foot high. Seventy grube were found inoue hill by 8 Winnebago county farmer. Many farmers plant. ed corn on the affected areas again this season, The grubs were not in evi. dence early in the season, but later worked their way up from the subsoil, where they hibernated during the winter, and renewed the attack on the “old eamp ground.” Their ravages ceased the latter part of June, this year. They have formed cells in the soil a few inches below the surface, and have grown sluggish or quiescent for a short period. After this period the grubs will pass into the pupa or rest stage, aud in a few weeks will mount or change into the adult or * June. bug’ stage, thus completing the cycle of their existence, Those who seeded to small grains the infected fields of last year notice very little damage done by the grube, while corn, though not ruined or kill ed, ns was the case last season, will re- tarn a light yield. Oar investigations have revealed to us certain irsects and fungi that prey on and destroy prev 4 but the ral inte ore these tes afford but little hope of relief in a siege such as that of last season.
