Squirrel Hunting Seasons Opening
Now in 80 States

Squirrel Hunting Seasons Opening
Now in 80 States
New York, July 22-Hunting sea-
son on squirrels is open now in
few states and will continue to
open in other states until the latter
part of November, according to the
American Game Protective AS
ISOLATION here. There will be open
seasons in 80 states this year.
Because of the great variance in
not only the opening and closing of
seasons, but also in the varieties OF
squirrel that may be legally hunted,
Carlos Avery, president of the AS
ISOLATION, urges all to familiarize
game laws. He further urges that
in the interest Of conservation of
wild life that everyone stay well
within the prescribed bag limits.
We must leave the capital stock
and part of the increase in order
to restore wild life to it's former
abundance, Mr.. Avery said. There
were 100000 hunting licenses is
sued last year, a large increase
over the previous year, and in all
likelihood there will be an even
bigger increase of hunters taking
the field this season so it is impera-
tive that we save not only our CAPT.
tai stock of wild life but an appre-
ciable part of the increase as well
to meet the ever increasing demand
upon it.
Only scattered reports have
reached the Association regarding
the squirrel crop Of this year. The
hard winter and poor food condi-
lions in some sections materially
decreased the crop in SNOW" states
it is feared but an appreciate in
crease of squirrels is reported in
the south, particularly in the
heavily wooded bottom sections
I and in the forested sections of the
West and Northwest.

Saturday, July 10, the Raymond

for number and size OF eggs. If his
dams laid few eggs, his offspring will
have that tendency The same is the
case II his dams laid small eggs,
The cost of reproducing flock is
no small item, The fewer pullets
needing replacement, the more valu-
able the chicks will be. II you start
with a flock OF 500 pullets that are
bred to lay $50 eggs apiece year, it
will be necessary to replace 800 of
them at the end Of the second year.
If your 500 pullets are bred to lay 100
eggs year or more. 1t will be
necessary to replace only 200 The
cash cost of reproducing an extra 100
pullets is about 500. On this basis.
1900 chicks that produce 1900 chicks
that will produce pullets averaging $50
eggs apiece.
The above difference is merely on
the cost of reproducing the flock. To
this must be added the fact that a
difference of 80 eggs in the average
production Of 500 pullets amounts to
5000 year, and this spread over the
1900 amounts to Is cents chick or a
total difference of SO cents between
the good chicks and the poor chick.
If we gave oil this to the hatchery,
we would of course gain nothing, but
,, we would make money by paying five
cents higher for good chicks.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR

sible for the depression. They be-

This is evidenced by the increase In
the deposits Of the savings banks. The
small buyer quit spending and put his
money in savings accounts.
The large manufacturers and ner-
chants have not reduced their work
ing forces because they did not want
to do the same business in 1880 that
they did in 1929. The railroads have
not laid out part Of their equipment
because they wanted to curtail their
outputs. The reduction in shipping
has decreased their profits. They are
ready to go back to the 1929 produce

But the demand from 100000

sLANDERrNG MOTHER EARTH.

.
Recent estimates of biologists are
to the effect that erosion will reduce
the United States to sea level in 1850
years, That is, II the rivers continue
to carry the earth to the sea at the
present rate, the continent will be
under water in seventy-five centuries.
This would be alarming II 1t were not
for the comforting fact that the
mountains and mainland are slowly
raising cut Of the sea. At the same
time the biologists state that all the
land Of the earth has been under sea
at least two times since 1t has been
covered by vegetable and animal life.
The period between these inunda-
lions or floods, 1t is true, have extend
ed into millions Of years and the
scientists are not predicting another
flood In the immediate future-not,
at least, during the Hoover Admin
istration. In this connection, it is
now estimated that the earth was
clipped off Of the sun by passing
star two billion years ago. It is
scandalous how the scientists are talk
ing about the age Of Mother Earth and
her pranks.

Great French Novelist
Lover Of Good Coffee

To the many Americans who so dis
consulate in want Of their usual coffee
when travelling in France It may be a
surprise to hear that a famous French
man, the novelist Honore de Balzac,
was as fond of good coffee us they can
be and extremely fastidious about the
quality of the grains and their perco-
lating.
He always had three kinds of grains
mixed-Bourbon Moka, Martinica, and
had to 60 to tltae different grocers for
them. He called his own coffee pot
his muse" and drank gallons of the
dark beverage every day.
There he found the stimulus for
those excruciating spells of inspira-
ton, which sometimes lasted 4S hours
and left him as weak and worn as any
big fight. Another fad of his, which
perhaps helped him to survive such an
unhealthy life, was fruit. He reveled
Yin its beauty and adored its freshness.
He was known to have eaten four
pounds of cherries at a time.

End of Vandals as Nation

The yandals were Teutonic race
which played leading part in the dis
ruption of the Roman empire in the
Fifth century. They overran Gaul and
Spain, and crossing to Africa estab-
:lished Kingdom there under Geneserlc
"a. D. 42o); committed all the ex-
cessses of barbaric devastation which
have made their name proverbial; and
wantonly destroyed works of art, mon
uments, and priceless treasures Of lit
erature during the sack of Rome (455)
The Emperor Justinian sent Belisarius
against them, and after several de-
feats they were eventually routed
(533), and as a nation ceased to exist.

Double Duty Tree

In the garden Of Stanley bay, Aucls-
land, New Zealand, there stands an.
old lemon tree that produces not only
Its rlghtful fruit throughout the year
but. in season, fine sweet oranges as
well. At times the tree has n good
crop OF both fruits. Neither is talnt-
ed with the pecullarities of the other.
A close examination of the tree gives
one no explanation of the freak. The
secret is that IN orange root has been
grated to that Of n lemon and the
stem of the orange has grown into
that of the lemon, forming what np-
pears to be one tree.
