She said: “You better get a

A man here who was out of work

Rabbits showing Up This Winter
Pdward W. Campbell, a Franklin |
County game protector, says,
“Those little rabbits that weren't |
there last small game season are |
showing up pretty well in places |
on the snow.
Campbell reports: had |
“We have
| more rabbit damage in the or |
of this district than we like to think'|
about. In one orchard the damage |
was extremely high. By the end of |
january we had trapped 58 cotton-
tails out of this particular orchard.
The people who hunted it last fall
said there were no rabbits there.”
Sportsmen Promote Farmer Safety
Game Protector John R. Hiller of
Hopewell, reports that last fall the
B County Federation of
rd
ports men’ s Clubs had 10,000 safety

last fall it was pleasant to see safe~
“Most of the farmers are of, the
opinion that the safety zone signs
provided them more protection
from careléss hunters than did no
trespass signs”, said Hiller, and he
suggested: “Judging from what I
observed, this would be a worth-
while project for sportsmen in: all
67 counties. to foster.”
Wild Mother Takes Over
Ralph Kline, a Game Commission
food and cover workman living at
Manchester, York County, related
the following incident. It suggests
that generally approved method of |
handling young squirrels and rac-
coons forcibly deposed from their
den, if the mother animal is not |
killed.
Said Kline: “While cutting wood-
land borders we felled a tree. The |
hollow part of it, near the top, |
broke off and a nest of little squir- |
rels was thrown out.
“We put the little fellows in the
trunk we had sawed off and placed
the nest beside the stump of the |
tree. The next morning the five ba- |
bies were gone. We believe id
mother moved them to a safe new
home.”
Rattlers Grow Tough In Pa.
Last winter, numerous snakes were
reported seen or killed on snow in|
the Keystone State. Now comes a |
rash of new stories of rattlh esnakes |
defying cold weather and refusing |
to hibernate with other reptiles he-

Game Protector Dean M. Crooks, |

He continues: “I liberated a cock
