EAT TURTLES
Neglected Food Source Revealed by
Vermont's j. Titcomb


vermont's J. Titcomb
The pools, ponds, lakes and rivers
of Vermont, about which the publicity
bureau says a good deal, have it APP
pears a neglected and unadvertised
food supply in the shy and retiring,
hard-shelled and much-initialed turtle.
The fish and game commissioner gives
him a dozen lines in his last biennial
report, calling attention to the econo-
mic Importance of the five species
found in Vermont, all Of which are ed-
BILE and fairly plentiful. So. if we are
to believe Commissioner Titcomb--
and we do--they are a considerable
asset. like the landscape, good roads
and cur water-power resources.
We don't know when the Vermont
turtle has been given space before in
a report Largely he has been looked
upon as merely a worthless, leathery
and damp-proof resident of boys and
mud-holes and other oozy places, the
sport Of barefoot boys. Generally his
back is covered with crude lettering,
and the dates of his capture and lib
Grafton; there is a hole in the shell
through which string is run, so that
he can be swung. carried or tethered
for the pleasure of his captors and his
own torment
Mr.. Titcomb, who doesn't recon-
mend any legislation for them, tells
