BUCK LAW" HAS EFFECT
NUMBER OF DEER KILL

According to reports sent out from
Pierre, the so-called "Buck" law passed
by the legislature by which the killing
of any but buck deer during deer hunt
ing season has had its effect upon hunt
ing as is shown by compliance of re.
ports made by Ii 5. Hedrick, head of
the game and fish department.
1t is necessary for each hunter to
make a report Of the number of deer
killed during the hunting season which
opened November and closed Novem-
Der 80. There were l67 deer killed
which is away below the number killed
in other seasons Usually the seasons
kill runs from 800 to 400.
The federal game preserve in the
Black Hills established last summer has
also had its effect on big game hunting
in this state. 1t includes some of the
best deer hunting places in the Hills.

NINETEEN HOMERS IN
SINGLE TEXAS GAME
"Nig" Clarke, Former Indian
Backstop, Made Eight.
Contest Between corsicana and Tex
arkana in 1902 Produced Records
Likely to Stand for Many
Years in Baseball.

The mark of seven home runs in a
recent game between the Philadelphia
and Detroit Americans tied the
major league record for circuit driv-
ers in a single contest, but it didn't
even come close to the worlds record.
On July IA, 1902, Corsicana and
Texarkana, in a Texas minor league,
met in a regularly scheduled game
which produced smuggling records like
" to stand for many years. Nineteen
home runs, a dozen triples, ten
doubles and almost a dozen singles
were clouted out by the batters in
this game. Corsicana won by a
score of 81 to 3, and the winning
team made 50 hits.
incidentally, Mig Clarke. formerly
the best backstop of the Cleveland
American league club, claims to have
established in this game the worlds
record for home runs by an individual
batsman. Clarke says that he drove
out eight round-the-sacks hits in this
game.
Previous data credited Harry
Wright of the Cincinnati Reds with
the record of seven homers in a game
in 1867. Modern records gave the
honors to Robert Lowe of Boston,
Dan Brouthers Of Detroit and Ed
Delehanty of Philadelphia with four
home runs apiece in one game.
Seven home runs were made in a
game between st. Louis and Detroit
June IL, 1886.
The Philadelphia Detroit series pro-
duced hitting that has never been
rivaled in modern major league base
ball, however. for the two teams made
l6 home runs in the four games.

Energetic measures against the
chinch bugs which threaten injury not
only to the wheat and rye crops of
Missouri but to corn as well are
urged by the bureau of entomology,
United States Department Of AgricuI-
ture, in view Of reports Of an impend-
ing outbreak Of the pest in that state.
Widespread and severe infestations
of the pest are reported in the whole
central Mississippi valley region,
starting in northern Texas and ex-
tending in a ~northeasterly direction
over Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.
touching Nebraska, and extending
across Illinois and Indiana into Mich
igan.
Generally Distributed Through state.
The chinch bugs, latest advices say,
have had a mild winter and are gen.
orally distributed throughout the
Missouri wheat and rye fields, breed
ing in considerable numbers in the
st. Louis neighborhood early in May.
The farmers, it Is said, have been
watching the pest more closely than
usual this spring, but all Of them DO
not know yet that there is danger that
their corn may be damaged worse
than normal last year. Wheat b
likely to ripen one or two weeks
earlier this year, and the rains have
delayed the planting of corn.
The bugs are certain to migrate
when the wheat ripens and the corn
will be SO backward that damage by
the bugs is likely to be very severe.
1t Is well to expect the bugs to begin
migrating to corn as soon as the wheat
butts begin to harden into maturity
ten days before the heads are ripe.
Any barrier work or creosote repellant
line work should begin as the bugs
will migrate in increasing numbers as
the wheat stalk ripens upward. The
binder will shake loose those not al
ready out and stragglers will continue
to migrate in serious numbers for FIVE

to fifteen days after harvest. Bar
riers, therefore, must be maintained
from the time of migration until pos
sibly two or three weeks have elapsed.
Sow a Trap Crop.
1t will be found of much value to
SOW two drill widths of millet between
corn and the nearby fields of wheat
and rye. The more quickly this is
done the better, so as to make as good
growth as possible of this trap crop
before the bugs attack it. When the
bugs have. migrated into the trap,
crop it should be plowed seven Or
more inches deep. Care must be
taken to pillow deeply and well, then
to pack the ground with a drag or
harrow or roller. Little time or work
is required to make this strip and the
cost is small. It has hitherto been
found very profitable.

tend to make the arms well developed.
Such tasks should be done with quick

not exercises at all.
Swimming is good for the arms, Of
course, rowing, canoeing, and all out

pretty. Anything which makes the
arms move quickly In varying direc-
