Fur and Feathers.

Many of the ilk of Nimrod have
had their Autumn vacations and men
and dogs return detected with the
same story-birds scarce and wild as
hawks or when few are found
keeping to almost impenetrable
covers.
Game has disappeared very rapidly
in the past few years owing to severe
winters, increase in number of sports
men, good dogs, guns and automo-
biles, but the good old days may be
in some measure restored if our
sportsmen and others interested in
wild life will join
The Michigan Association
And stand for the increase and pro-
lection of animal and bird life and
especially fish and game
After holding meetings in a num-
Der Of cities in the state it was found
to be practically a unanimous opinion
that two important changes in our
laws should be made if we are to
conserve our game and fish in enjoy
able numbers.
1st-That the work now in the
hands of the Fish Commission and
Game Warden be placed with non
partisan, non-salaried commission.
2nd-That all who wish to hunt
shall pay small license
In Wisconsin where conditions are
similar to Michigan the desired end
is attained by such a tax which
amounts to about $125,OOo per an
mum and is expended in the propaga-
l.tion and distribution of fish and
game, and the expenses of admins
tration Of the department.
The Michigan Association suggests
1st-That the present statutes ere
ating and regulating the present State
Fish and Game commission and
State Game Warden should be re-
pealed
2nd-That new non-salaried COM
mission of five or seven members
should be created by statute having
Fish commission and the State Game
Warden.
3rd-That statute should be
enacted requiring payment Of Ii
cense by resident hunters of one
(S1.00) dollar, and by nonresident
hunters of ten $4,000 dollars for
the privilege of taking small game
and game birds; and that a like Ii
cense of one ($1O0) dollar be re-
quired from resident hunters and
twenty-five ($25.00) dollars from
nonresident hunters, for the taking
of deer, bear. ETC. under such regu-
lations as to numbers and seasons as
may seem proper.
4th-That power be given the new
commission TO set aside from the
lands of the state in any county, game
refugees, within which limits no shoot
ing or trapping shall be allowed for
such periods as may seem best to
the commission.
5th-That power be given said
commission to propagate or purchase
and distribute throughout the state
such game birds and animals as are
suited to conditions in Michigan, as
well as such game and commercial
fishes as are now propagated and dis
tributed by the Michigan Fish com
mission.
6th-That the spring shooting of
all game birds be stopped
By the proposed plan, those who
dance will pay the fiddler and the
state made more attractive to resi-
dents and non-residents.
1t is hoped that our local sports
men and others interested in the
preservation of good fishing and fyr
and feather wild life, may become
identified with the movement and en-
courage legislation at Lansing this
winter to the desired end.

NEW COUNTY ATLAS.

Representatives of the G. A. Ogle
Co., of Chicago, map and atlas max
ers, are now in Pendleton making
preparations to get out new and very
complete atlas of Umatilla county.
The work of securing the maps
and compiling the information will
take over a year. Every property
owner will have his property desig-
mated on the detail maps. and the
data will be accurate up to the date
of the publication.
A jamestown, n. D., exchange now
at hand, in writing about a new atlas
of their county, just issued, says:
The new Standard atlas of Stuts-
man county, North Dakota, that is
just off the press of the G. A. Ogle
and company of Chicago, is now be-
ing distributed to subscribers. The
maps in this atlas are the very last
call and the registration of owners of
property is corrected up to the min
ute. Seldom have business men and
others received a more valuable vol
ume.
1t contains plats of every village
and city in the county with streets,
numbers of lots and public enter
prises, additions to the original town
site and world of other information
which can be secured only by an ex-
pensive investigation of the public
records. Every farm in the county
is outlined and the owners name
placed thereon in clear type, togeth-
er with the geographical location of
his farm home and the number of
acres.
Every rural mail route in the coun-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-05-24

ty is plainly traced on the map and
its number given.
A large 15x17 IL page is used for
the map of each township in the
county, thus allowing ample space
for the recording of the information
with which the work is replete. Sec
tional lines and public roads are all
correctly traced. complete county
map is one feature of the work which
commends it to the public in no
small measure.
The atlas is just the thing required
by the busy man who needs to know
a hundred and one things about his
country and his town without taking
the trouble of incurring the expense
of trip to the court house.

SAVING OF THE PEACH CROP.

The recent cold winter severely in
jured the peach crop in many sections
Of the country and in some of the noted
| peach regions the crop will be almost a
total failure. In view of the probable
shortage of the crop the Delaware
peach growers should put forth every
effort to protect their peaches from
ravages of curculio and brown rot. The
writer would urge all peach growers,
who have prospects of a crop, to give
their peaches the following treatment.
l. Spray all peaches with pounds
of arsenate of lead and 8 pounds of
freshly slaked lime. This spray should
be applied about weeks after the trees
bloom or just before the "shucks " slip
off the young peaches. This treatment
is largely to cuntrol the curculio thus
aiding in lessening the "June drop.''
The curculiO stings are also largely re-
sponslble for the entrance of the rot
into the peach tissues.
2. About one month after the first
application spray the peaches again
with self boiled lime sulfur, 8 lbs. lime
and 80 gallons of water), adding IL
pounds Of arsenate of lead to everv 30
gallons of the mixture.
GEl1J WIN LAAC SCH DOilGu lime
sulfur about one month before the
peaches ripen. This will be about Julv
9TH to 10th for Champion and about
July 18th to 25th for Elberta. The
arsenate Of lead need not be used at
this spraying.
CAUTlON-Peach foliage is very SEN
sitive to spray materials and care Should
be taken to apply all SPRAYS in the farm
OF mist, avoiding drenching the trees.
Arsenate of lead should always have a
freshly slaked stone lime added to it
when. spraying peaches. The writer
would suggest the using of Tri Plumbic
arsenate of lead as being perhaps a
little more safe than the ordinary
arsenate of lead.
OF SELF-BoLED LIME |
SULFUR
Weigh out lbs. of stone lime and
place IN a barrel and pour on enough
cold water to partially cover it. As
soon as the lime begins to slake add
lbs. of sulfur All humps in the suI-
fur should be broken up. Stir the
constantly and add more water
as needed, form a thick paste then
gradually a thin paste. As soon as tbe
ime IS well slake add water to cool
he mixture and prevent further cook
ng. Do not allow the lime and sulfur
% cook over Is to 20 minutes. Dilute
o about 30 gallons and strain into the

CALL FOR PUBLIC MEETING.

The citizens of Milford are requested
to meet in the Armory Hall, Milford,

have a new passenger depot an active
interest in this matter, and demand re-
cognitiOn from the railroad which re-
ceives liberal support from them. This
applies to those who reside outside the
incorporate limits of the town as well,
and they are cordially invited to be pres
ent and give expression to their opinion.
This call is issued by authority of indi-

It is hoped that a large attendance will

Now is a very good time for the
officers appointed to protect the
people from those who break the
laws of the land, to enforce the
laws against the illegal sale of
liquor. 1t is not the duty of the
individual citizen to spend his time
or money in looking up the evidence
necessary to convict an offender !;
that is the specific duty of the
officer appointed to enforce the
laws.
