tectel the Year Round.

Quite a number of people are kill
ing gray squirrels in this county who
do not know what they are. as they

makes it unlawful to hunt. take or
kill game squirrels, commonly known

planning Of cropping systems for
different regions.
Eventually it may be found, ac-
cording TO w. w. Garner, and III.
A. Allard, scientists, in the Bureau
of Plant Industry, who conducted
exhaustive experiments, that the
animal organism also is capable of
responding to the stimulus OF GER
tain day lengths. They believe
that the migration Of birds may be
an illustration on the ground that
direct response to such a stimulus
would be more in line with modern
biological teachings than theories
which assume that birds go
south" as a matter of instinct. Ex-
periments were conducted with a
large variety Of plants. 1t has
shown concIusively that too little
sleep" or in other words, too
many hours Of daylight, would pre-
vent many plants from ever reach
ing the Towering and fruiting
stage.
II was found also that the plants
would not reproduce except when
exposed to a favorable length of
lay. although too much daylight
for Towering and fruiting might
stimulate profuse vegetative
growth. a length Of day favorable
both to reproduction and growth
results in the lever bearing type
of fruits.
BY employing dark chambers
the scientists shortened or length
ened the life cycle Of plants and
forced some Of them to complete
two cycles in one season.
Temperature appeared TO exert
20 influence in the tests. A strik-
ing illustration Of the relative un-
Importance of temperature was
given in the fact that plants kept
IN the dark for part of the day,
underwent in midsummer the
oranges that in nature come in the
fali and that heretofore have been
attributed to lower temperatures.
The new principle was said to
explain why many plants grow
most luxuriantly near the northern
limit of their range where the long
day permits maximum vegetative
growth before the short day inter-
venes to start reproduction.
