Squirrel Season Now Open

Local sportsmen and hunters
are making ready to HE them
selves to the quiet hills and dells
wherein the elusive squirrel is at
this season of the year getting
in his best work unmolested by
the constant crack of the shot
gun which is in evidence after
the open season is declared.
The season in which the killing
of squirrels is allowed begins
September 1, and continues for
three moths, giving hunters am
pie time to engage in the pursuit
Of the little busy-tail animals.
The season for quail opens
November 1st, and continues
throughout that month. Wild
turkeys can be killed from the
first of November until Deem
Der Is. Those who are fond of
hunting these kind of birds are
anxiously awaiting the opening
of the season.
There is no restriction on rab-
bit hunting, other than that a
ferrett shall not be used in pro-
curing them. This form of
hunting is prohibited by the
state fish and game laws.

the course Of his remarks he re-
terred to the alleged Virginia
debt briefly.
In speaking of the secessions
of Virginia and the separation Of
West Virginia from the old Do
minion and the consequent debt
dispute, Mr.. Chain after con-
vincing his hearers that West
Virginia was formed as a result
of the political aspirations Of the
Republican party to gain control
OF the nation, and COMMENTING
upon the dispute as to who should
pay the debt, said that as West
Virginia was created for the ben
etit OF the Republican party. and
for no other reason, that old and
decadent organization should in
his opinion, shoulder the debt.

Iy after his return from the for
eign tour of the American Agri-
cultural Commission, still GER
tain features stand out promi-
nently and might well be used in
the development of West Virgin
ginia agriculture.
The good roads found every
where in Europe, even in the
mountainous districts, are an in
dication of what might be done
here. West Virginia has been
called the Switzerland of
America" The native Swiss
can teach his American cousin
much in the matter Of utilizing
the rough farming lands to great
er advantage. The dairy prod
ucts of Switzerland have become
world famous. No small part of
the success of the various Euro
pean farming communities visit
ed, is due to the widespread
spirit of cooperation which eX-
lists. The farmers Of a commu-
nifty or of an entire district will
often cooperate in the purchase
of supplies, in handling local
finances and in numerous other
affairs. All these things tend to
lower the cost of production and
to raise the margin of profit.
Many of the European meth
DDS are not adaptable to Ameri-
can conditions but it is hoped
that when the Commission
makes its official report next
winter, many definite plans for
rural improvement will be set
forth.

Potato Culture Bulletin
Bulletin 140 of the Experiment
Station is entitled Potato Gull
ture in West Virginia. Pro
fessor Dacy. the author, points
out the fact that our farmers are
neglecting an excellent money
crop when they fail to grow a
field of Irish potatoes each year.
Many sections have excellent
potato soils and although a con-
siderable acreage is harvested
each year the demand is still far
in excess of the supply.
Varieties, cultural methods,
and remedies for potato diseases
are also discussed. Copies of
