RELEASE PHEASANTS
TO BATTLE BEETLES
Forked River, N. J.—Several thou-
sand ringneck pheasants have just
been released by State game wardens
many of them in the vicinity of the
Japanese beetle infested sections.
Within a few weeks fully a thousand
will be freed in the infected districts
of Burlington County. This will be the
largest addition to these natyral ene-
mies of the Japanese invader as yet
provided by the State.
For two years the war waged to ex-
terminate the beetle before it suec-
ceeded in pushing its invasion ‘into
other districts has been going on.
Many experiments have been tried
with various solutions with more or
less success. But the pheasant is
generally accepted as the surest ex-
terminating agency available hecause
he would rather eat Japanese beetles
than any other kind of food and he
possesses an almost insatiable appe-
tite.
In connection with the liberation of
the pheasants this fall an experiment
is being tried by the game wardens.
The birds released are by no means
full grown. Many of them are half
grown at the best. This action was
taken after many conferences, The
question to be decided is, can the
young birds take care of themselves
during the winter in the wilds?
Apparently the game wardens think
they can. The results next spring
will show. In the meanwhile the
young pheasants are shifting for them-
selves and from what is learned here
they are getting along very nicely.
Sportsmen, upland-shooters, believe
the State has made no mistake in the
innovation. They say there is not the
‘slightest doubt but the birds will come
through the winter in better shape
than had they been retained on the
State grounds until next spring.
That they will be wilder 4s a result
of their winter's experience goes with-
out saying. This fact may have some-
thing to do with the confidence in tha
experiment expressed by the gunners.
They all favor a wild bird to a tame
one, and one of the criticisms of the
pheasants liberated in the past has
been that many of them became
“quite domesticated.” through their
long stay on the game reservations.
It has been no uncommon experience
‘for a hunter to have a pheasant sit
upon the branch of a tree and quiz
him as he got ready to shoot. In some
such instances the sportsman has de-
clined to kill the bird and has not
been very complimentary in his criti-
cism of the game stocking plan that
resulted in liberating a lot of barn-
yard fowls.
Great Value as Exterminator
But the greatest value of the pheas-
ant, or at least that to which the most
importance attaches just at present,
lies in its importance as an extermina-
tor of the Japanese beetle. In the ex-
periments carried on to determine this
Japanese beetle in considerable quan-
ties were found in the stomach of
pheasants which had been feeding in
the beetle zones. Another season will
demonstrate whether the pheasant is
a real ally of the Jersey farmer and
the Federal and State governments in
the war against the beetle or not. If
he proves to be what it is said he is,
a natural enemy of the beetle, he will
probably come under the protection of
the State and shooting him will be
prohibited.
If the results fail to establish this,
then the New Jersey sportsman afield
after upland game will find the woods
well stocked with pheasants and there
will be no restrictions on bagginz
them.
Releasing the half-grown pheasants
will save the State hundreds of dol-
lars. This will result from the feed
saved and which otherwise would be
given the birds. Pheasants are good
eaters and it costs no little sum to
feed several thousand of them, even
on State reservations even where juan-
tities of naturally grown food grows.
Demands for the pheasants have
come from all sections of the State.
As a result the birds are being widely
distributed. In turn this gives the as-
surance that natural breeding will take
place in many sections where the ring-
neck pheasant has heretofore been
quite a rarity. It should mean a weli-
stocked forestry . Farmers generally
approve of the presence of the pheas-
ant .and assurances have been given
that should a severe winter develop
the birds will be looked after. Tais
will be particularly true should a cold
spring follow when the young pheas-
ants would otherwise suffer.
Farmers Complain of Deer
South Jersey farmers are complain-
ing again of depredations on the part
of thousands of deer that are running
wild in the woodlands. During the
spring they raided hundreds of acres
of young crops. Now they are doing
the same thing to the late maturing
varieties. Game wardens here are re-
ceiving many inquiries as to when the
deer season will open. In some way
a report was circulated that hunters
would be unlimited as to the number
of deer they could kill this fall and
the result was that farmers in tbe
er country believed they could see

an end to their troubles.
they are not so wild. It also suggests
that the losses sustained through their
raiding will extend to new areas, with
the certainty that this will bring forth
an even greater protest than has been
registered by South Jersey farmers
Squirrels are reported on the in-
crease. Several fox squirrels were
seen below here the past week. A
few black squirrels have also been
noted. The appearance of the latter
is something of a mystery. It is pos:
sibly accounted for by the unintended
liberation of squirrels of this variety
brought into the State by travelers
returning from the Rocky Mountains.
Both of these squirrels have fine skins,
and if the demand for furs is as great
this winter as a year ago they wili
certainly be hunted for while in sea-
son by scores of men and boys shoot-
ing for the trade.
Although the fact has not been gen-
erally advertised, a movement is on
foot in South Jersey swamp districts
to cultivate the muskrat. The catch
this year, it is predicted, will be far
greater than last winter. The venture
was undertaken by parties who had
faith in the value of furs remaining
little changed.
Generally speaking, the gaming
season will prove one of the best in
years. There has been an abundant
crop of berries, the nut trees are heavy
with burrs, fruits are generally more
plentiful, while the grain crop has
been exceptionally large. This has
assured the game plenty of food, and
from what is reported of such as is
running in woods and fields the con-
dition shown is exceptionally fine.
Hunters’ bags this season should be
well filled and the game of the very
best.
In the meanwhile an eye will be kept
open for the young pheasants’ welfare,
and every effort will be made to in-
sure their living in a land of plenty
until they attain their growth.—Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
French Critic
Describes Effect
of War on Painting
By KATE BURR
Buffalo has in town—the guest of
Mr. Chandler Ross—the distin-
guished art critic and connoisseur,
Monsieur Enrique Heniot, of Paris,
New York and Buenos Aires.
Meeting - Monsieur Hemiot in Mr.
Ross’ Buffalo studio at the Lafayette
Hotel, I asked him to tell me some-
thing of the effect of the war on art
whether the art of painting had
suffered deterioration as had litera-
ture and music.
“Ah,” said Monsieur Heniot, in the
very good English which is one of the
ten languages he speaks, “the great
war has had a tremendous effect upon
art—especially in these countries
which were the scene of action.
“The battlefields, millions of men in
the fight, homes recked, families
separated, peaceful land desroyed, the
anxiety and suffering of mothers,
wives, sweethearts, the bloody sham-
bles, the pain and despair in the hos-
pitals among the maimed and con-
valescent heroes, the heart, wounds
changed literature, influenced sculp-
ture, and gave the art of painting a
new horizon.
“In this mixture of sentiments there
is a revolt against the dramatic, alle-
goric and classic in art represented
by the old schools. The father of the
dramatis school of the nineteenth cen-
tury, the great Delacroix, with Geri-
cault and others, has suffered retro-
gression at the hands of the people.
“The allegorical and classic subjects
from the brush of David, ingres and
even the wonderful landscapes by the
Barbizon school are being dimmed by
the relation of the people toward a new
renaissance. Painters of allegorical
life, men popular with the masses as
Bouguereau and Alma Thadema are
in the downward rush of public favor-
“This change of feeling has cause
the rise of several new cults.
“There is a craving of light for
reaceful scenes in the life of the com-
mon people—the masses.
“One man there is,” said Monsieur
Heniot, “who had presentiments of the
need to be born of the war before
war was here.
That man is Claude Monet, Father
of Light and Atmosphere, Honet had
the creative instinct and the courage
of his convictions to push his appeal
in a new way. He created the new
school of sunshine and light. Light
and sunshine are the want of the bat-
tle scarred soul of the people and
Monet, Apostle of the Present, has
met that want before it was apparent,
and followers of the great Impression-
ist like Renoir, Manet, Sisley, Pisarro
and others are meeting it now.
“Monet,” Monsieur Heniot said.
“painted as the sun acts, using the
seven colors of the spectrum for his
palette and never painting with black
or neutral shades. In that way he
bathed everything in atmosphere.”
M. Heniot showed me a picture
by Claude Monet, of which he is the
M. Heniot spoke of what Renoir
had done for the poetry of art, and
made the prophesy that so strong was
the. growing demand with these great
impressionists’ brush-children that in
fifteen years one Monet will bring
the price of a Hobbema and a Renoir
will be valued like a Rembrandt.
“Unfortunately the best works of
Monet are hard to get. Many collec-
tors and a few connoisseurs are look-
ing for them. No one museum in Eu-
rope has many examples of the art of
either.
“Israels also appealed to the soul of
the people throug his home studies
and portrayal of the life of small peo-
ple—as fishermen, Dutch interiors and
—like subjects. He strikes the
medium between the Impressionistic
and Rarbizon schools.”
M. Heniot has written several au-
thoritative works on art, has contribu-
ted largely to Continental periodicals,
his criticism being a regular feature
of Figaro and his opinion decides any
controversy as to the authenticity of
old or semi-modern masters.
His conservative statement as to the
decline of the rising school of Sun.
shine and Light” and his explanation
of the reason thereof may be taken for
fact.
Delinquent Dog Tax
May Be Coliected
owners
Dog in Pennsylvania who
violate the law by failing to take out
a license for their dogs, and who
escape prosecution during any one
year.
evel hough action is not instituted
until the following year. The Penn-
sylvania Department of Agriculture
is assisting the local county officials
and constables in enforcing the law
and while hundreds of prosecutions
have been instituted in various sec-
tions and while ‘this work will be
vigorously prosecuted throughout the
year, yet there will be some dog own-
ors who will escape detection.
These dog owners, however, will be
liable to prosecution next year for
failure to comply with the law this
year. The Lebanon county authori-
ties are .now planning to collect the
delinquent dog tax for 1919 and simi-
lar action will be taken up in other
counties as rapidly as they are cleaned
up for the current year.
Thus far in 1920 there have been
1421 prosecutions entered in the State
for violations of the dog law and each
case has been successfully terminated.
This is as against 107 prosecutions
in 1919.
The activities of the enforcement
officials which have been centered on
Washington County for the past seve-
ral weeks, will be extended to Greens,
Indiana and Armstrong counties within
the next week or two and a large nun-
ber of arrests will be ordered in each
of these counties.
An impression has gotten through-
out the State that the offenders are
largely confined to the rural sections
of the State. This is incorrect as of-
fenders have been found in cities and
towns as well as in the country sec-
tions.
“Dockage System’
Suggested for Penn.
Wheat Growers
Growers of' wheat who sell their
products to local buyers or millers
often are surprised by the wide range
which exists between the prices they
receive and the prices quoted on the
exchanges in the seaboard markets.
The prices in the large markets are
quoted on inspected grain, graded ac:
cording to the U. S. standards, while
the farmers wheat is bought “as is” by
local buyers or millers to meet their
recyfgements. The local buyers and
millers, not having the facilities for
grading nor for handling samples of
grain to determine the amount of dock
age present in the wheat, are com-
pelled to place their buying figures
low enough to guard themselves
against losses due to possgple bad
judgment or incorrect estimating of
the grade of wheat.
The installation of the “Dockage
System” suggested by the Bureau of
Markets, Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture and the U. S. Bureau of
of Markets in country markets ' by
the growers, buyers and millers would
insure to all parties concerned a fair
basis of comparison at least for the
wheat of the community.
Dockage is the foreign matter in the
wheat which may be easily separated
by the appropriate seives and does
not affect the grade of the dockage
free wheat. Any foreign material not
separable by the dockage method is
a very important factor in determin-
ing the grade of the wheat. The per
centage of this material in the grades
is small indeed, and is not determin-
able unless the dockage has been re-
moved.
A study of the grades would be most
profitable to anyone interested in
wheat. The moisture content, detei-
minable only by laboratory methods,
varies with the grades from 13.5 ani
14 per cent for No. 1, to 15.5 and 16
per cent for No. 5. The test weights

be a fair practice to apply the grades
otherwise.
A fuller discussion of the dockage
system is found in recent bulletins of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The Bureau of Markets of the Penn-
sylvania Department of Agricultura is
desirous of seeing the local grain
trading conducted in the fairest pos-
sible way and will lend all the assist-
ance possible to those interested in
using the government standard grades.
Daily market reports giving the prices
paid in the principal large markets
of graded grain are published in many

decade after her passing, there are
said to be more than seventeen hun-

the world.
Born July 16, 1821, at the Baker
homestead in the town of Bow, near
the present city of Concord, in New
Hampshire, Mary A. Morse Baker was
the sixth and youngest child of Mark
and Abigail Baker. From infancy it
is said she was subject to convulsive
attacks of an hysterical nature, whici
seemed not to grow better as she grew
older. When she was 22 she married
yeorge Washington Glover, who lived
but six months, and then she camw

Soon, however, the number of bees
about them increased. The horse was

more bees appeared and the women
cried for help. The animal was soon

into one of the bee hives, fell to the
ground and tried to roll and stamp

BUY COTTON SEED MEAL
INSTEAD OF COTTON SEED FOOD
The farmers, dairymen and stock-
men of Pennsylvania should learn to
aistinguish between cotton seed meals
and cotton seed feeds as sold in Penn
sylvania, if they are to secure adequate
returns on their money invested in
feeding stuffs, according to the Bureau
of Chemistry, Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
The laws of Pennsylvania provide
that feed sold as cotton seed meal
shall contain at least 38 per cent of
protein and not more than 10 per cent
of fiber. Cotton seed feed products
containing less than 38 per cent pro-
tein and more than 10 per cent fiber
can only be sold as cotton seed feed.
the
State contains as high as 36 per cent
protein, and dairymen are misled into
believing that the products they are
purchasing is cotton seed meal. The
Bureau of Chemistry, from time to
time has found shipments of cotton
seed feed improperly labeled as col-
ton meal and in
these cases have been ordered.
If you are buying cotton seed feed
containing less than 38 per cent pro
tein, it is not cotton seed meal and the
product is not as good as the higher
grade meals.

The law provides that mixed feeds,
which are shown to contain oat hulls,
cotton seed hulls, flax plant refuse and
elevator chaff, may not contain more
than 10 per cent of fiber. The amount
of fiber, which is in reality waste ma-
terial and of no value, must be stated
on the tag attached to each bag of
feeding stuff.
The Bureau of Chemistry, under di-
rection of the State Secretary of Agri
culture, has recently instituted a num-
ber of prosecutions in eases where
feed stuffs were found to contain from
fifteen to eighteen per cent of fiber.
If the farmer or stockman will read
the tags on the feeding stuffs he con-
templates purchasing, he will know at
a glance whether or not he is buying
feed that contains a large per centage

BROWN ROT CAUSED
HEAVY PEACH LOSSES
laws
Plant Industry of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture indicate
that the losses in the peach crop this
year are exceedingly heavy, owing to
the rapid development 0f brown rot
disease during the wet, humid condi-
tions under which ripening has taken
place. In many orchards a crop of the
highest promise has dwindled down to
little or nothing, and the general situ-
ation is reflected in the large amount
of fruit offered for sale in an obvious-
ly unripe condition, the growers being
compelled to take this step in order
to forestall the rot and save something
from the general wreck.
The disappointing returns from this
year’s crop will no doubt serve to stim-
ulate a more general interest in this
disease and induce the peach growers
to take advantage of the well-known
control for combating
what has been in the last two seasons
a very destructive pest.
In a recent circular issued by the
Bureau of Plant Industry of Pennsyl-
vania the life history of the brown rot
disease is outlined and spray methods
for its control are given. In addition
to spray applications, emphasis is
placed on the destruction of the rotten
fruit, and the general sanitation of
the orchard so as to enlist as many
in the fight
spray means
egencies as possible
the disease.
Unless more modern methods are
employed by peach growers for the
control of brown rot, we may expect
that the disease will continue to take
heavy toll of the crop, and there will
be high prices for the fruit, small re-
turn to the grower, and benefit to no-
body.

BLACK ROT FOLLOWS CALYX
INJURY BY LEAD ARSENATE
Black rot is doing some damage to
apple fruits according to reports being
received at the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture.
This injury is common but not usual-
