MIGRATORY BIRDS INCREASE

A statement by Deputy Chief,
United States Game Warden. Tai
bott Denmead says that many mig
ratory birds are increasing as the
result of protective legislation by
the Federal Government and by the
States. A few years ago the great
feeding grounds occupied by ducks,
geese, and other migratory birds,
were greatly depleted. Then came
Federal interference" This "intr-
ference" was backed up by all of
the good sportsmen of the country
as well as by manufacturers of
guns and ammunition. 1t was not
long before results began to mani
fest themselves with the improve
ment reffered to in Warden Den
mead's statement. That official
urges better enforcement of the eX-
isting laws; curbing of the boot
Logging" of ducks killed unlawfully;
further provisions for wildlife re-
fuges; Encouragement of drainage
projects where the gain to agricul-
ture will not offset to public well
fare the loss of the birds and other
wild life; better protection of the
natural food supply for birds;
studies of bird losses from sickness
caused by too great concentration,
by alkali poison, disease, and oil
pollution; and semitic investigation
of bird life as basis for improved
legislation. The game birds listed
as on the increase in recent years,
are wild geese, canvasback, mallard,
redhead, wood, and black ducks,
whistling swans, pintails, and coots.

TWO TYPES OF SWEET POTATO
CANNED FROM SAME VARIETY

There are two types of sweet DO
tatoes grown for the market, and as
might be expected, some people pre-
Ter one type and some the other.
When cooked the one type is rather
dry and mealy and the other is soft
and moist. Both types are not
grown in all sections of the country,
and because sweet potatoes are of
perlshable nature many people are
stlll unaware of the excellent culin-
ary properties of both types.
BY a series of practical canning
experiments workers in the United
States Department of Agriculture
have shown that it is entirely feas-
lble to produce both a dry and a
moist canned product from the same
variety. When freshly dug sweet
potatoes are cooked the product is
always firm and dry, whereas that
from the stored potatoes is much
sotter, and varies all the way from
rather dry to very moist in char
acter. By canning the freshly dug
potatoes of such desirable varieties
as the Nancy Hall, Porto Rico. and
Gold Skin one may obtain a drv
product that may be sliced for
sauteing and candying just as salts
factor1ly as the fresh potato; and by
canning the same varieties after the
usual storage period soft, moist
product may be obtained which is
very well adopted to the making of
puddings and pies. Thus canned
sweet potatoes well adapted te every
culinary use to which the fresh no.
tato is put may be made available
everywhere and at all seasons.
The sweet potato is adapted to a
wide variety of culinary uses, saws
the department, and once this has
become realized and the potato has
been made available in all parts of
the country and at all seasons of
the year, it should become popular.
rev persons, perhaps, realize how.
closely the southern sweetpotato ME
and the New England pumpkin pie
resemble each other both in appear
ance and flavor.

Profits In Trees

''Why should farmers plant trees?
is asked and answered by Alfred B.
Hastings of the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Trees set idle acres, too rough or
too sterile for planting, to work
growing an always marketable crop
Though trees take a number of
years to reach maturity, young
plantation adds cash value to a
farm, just as a young orchard does.
In a few years it yields small ma
terial in the form of Trimmings, such
as poles and fence posts, later fuel
and pulp wood, and finally tie and
saw timber. 1t is a saving bank
that pays compound interest. Tim
Der growing is part of diversified
farming, affording employment and
wages for winter work. A farm
wood lot is security to the banker
and the farm loan board.

MOVIES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The extension of the use of edu-
cational moving pictures is having
a marked influence upon commun-
ity and educational affairs. An an
nouncement made during the past
week says that a complete motion
picture of cattle raising will be "a
mong the educational pictures
shown this fall in the schools of
twelve cities. The picture follows
the cattle business through its var
ious phases iD~the Western grazing
country, down to loading beef cat
tie on the trains going to the stock
yards. The film was completed on
a large ranch in Montana and it is
being brought out in Chicago, New
York, Detroit, Denver, Kansas City,
Rochester, Atlanta, Winston-Salem,
Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego,
and Newton, Massachusetts, as a
new Kodak. Other films to be used
in the schools of the twelve cities
concern the Philippines Islands,
the Panama Canal, the Pueblo In
dians, the iron industry, care and
planting of trees, reforestation, ir-
rigation, dairying, fire prevention,
and New England deep sea fishing.

HOW TO CRUSH ICE EASILY

Crushed ice, an everyday summer
necessity for making frozen salads
and desserts and lending sparkle to
the service of cold foods during the
overheated season, requires a bit of
simple equipment. An ice pick, or an
ice shaver, a wooden mallet and a
bag made of heavy burlap or can
vass, make possible the breaking of
ice to any required size in a few
minutes.

FROM THE GRANGE FIELD
Coming of Autumn Finds This Rural
Group OF Activity

NAUhB VI
Grange Influence in Michigan has
been instrumental in writing upon
the statue books of that state, eff
fective September LIST, of this year,
on of the most drastic laws regulat-
ing hunting ever enacted in the
United States, and brought about
bl long-endured suffering among
the farmers from the deprediations
of careless hunters. The measure
provides that hunters must first OBJ
tain the consent of land owners be-
fore they can even hunt upon the
premises; the law automatically
closing all farms and woodlOts with
out even the necessity of posting
such land against trespass. 1t
leaves nothing but the wild, uncul-
tivated land of the north for the
hunters and even large part of
this will come under the provisions
of the new law, for whose violation
heavy penalties are provided.
A live subordinate Grange in Wis
consin devised a novel way of rails
ing funds for its treasury. Many
farm auctions were being scheduled
in it's locality, consequently the
Grange made arrangements to serve
dinners at these auctions and found
their offerings in instant demand
from the hungry crowd that came
from far and near. A Grange in
New Hampshire has replenished its
treasury by buying lead pencils in
large quantities direct from the
manufacturer, having the name and
number of the Grange stamped upon
them, and then sending packages of
them to subordinate Oranges all
over the state to be sold to members
Thousands of pencils have been
disposed of and there is an advertis-
ing value to the project as well as
it's money-raising possibilities.
At a Fourth of July celebration
run by a subordinate Grange in
Iowa this year more than 5000 peo-
pie were brought together for pro-
gram of speaking, sports and socia-
bility, the largest event of the sort
ever featured in that part of the
state.
"A new phase of Grange work has
been evised in Vermont, cleverly
adapting the threadbare fraternal
society plan of travelling gavels,
harrows, etc. The new
idea is a travelling debate" under
which a subject interest is chosen
and one subordinate Grange chal-
lenges another; the winning team
is then subject to challenge by any
other subordinate, or may itself is
sue one to a neighbor Grange. Thus
the exchange of debate goes on be-
tween different Grange groups,
carrying the same subject to differ
ent localities and naturally awaken
ing keen interest. Ultimately a
champion debating team for the
state will doubtless establish it's !
BIT with the likelihood
that it will have to fight hard to
win that distinction.
A surprising revelation in the
Grange work of the year through |
1ut the country is the number OF
branches of that organ
zation which have since January |
LIST, planted a permanent tree to
constitute the community Christmas
rec of that hamlet or town. For
many years the Grange has been an
active factor in the community
Christmas tree idea, but has lately
conceived the belief that it is better
or a community to have live
tree for it's Christmas
festivities than to have to set up a
one with each recurring
estiVal.

Rotarians Enjoy
Fine Program

Another highly instructive and
entertaining. program was enjoyed
at yesterdays regular weekly meet
ing of the 81 Centre Rotary Club,
held in the private dining room of
the Barbara Worth hotel, with Pres
ident Warren Currier presiding and
Joe King acting as chairman of the
day.
y report of interest, given by Leo
Hetzel, chairman of the BOYS work
committee, outlined work done a
mong grammar and high school
graduates in urging Young men pre-
graduates in urging continuance of
schooling, as well as extending aid
TO ambitious young men presenting
financial or other problems in the
way of securing higher education.
An entirely novel and education
al feature of the program WAS con-
tanned in a demonstration of first
aid work given by "crew' of
southern Sierras Power Go. men,
presented by Mr.. King. The crew,
'ohoiS'ihS VI -hSsSlS. u. W. -NotCICS,
Bob Holbrook, c. G. Caudle, Joe
Steele, Robert NJ. Pickett and Mark
NJ. Munson, worked out, in clear
ed space i'll the center of the dining
room, a practical problem in first
aid, declared bv DIR. l.. c. House,
present at the meeting, to be above
criticism in every particular. Dr.
House further stressed the fact that
the work demonstrated was net
merely theoretical, but that he had
seen many actual cases of acciden-
tai injury handled with the same
experiences by these Southern Sier-
ras men.
A cello solo by Miss Martha Jen-
kins, accompanied by Miss Margar-
ct Uanier, together with soprano
solos by Mrs. E. III. Kouns, accom-
panied by Mrs. j. d.. Foss, all of
