tracts of overcup oaks. When these
crops have borne but slightly the
squirrel transfers his feeding grounds
to the willow oak flats, where an abun-
dance of these small acorns makes up
for the lack of other dainties. But if
farmer has plowed up a tract Of rich
swamp land and planted it in corn,
then the gray squirrel feels as though
the nut crop was but a very common
diet and levies tribute day after day
on the farmer who has had the au-
dacity to invade territory that has
been sacred to him for centuries.
Gray squirrels are out stirring from
the first gray of dawn until the hour

seen again until p. m On very
windy days few stir about. During
the nutting season they are very gen
