TURTLE TRAPPERS AID FISH,
GIVE CATCH TO NEEDY

A -barrelled campaign to
rid waters of turtles and snakes in
furious to fish and wildfOwl and at
the same time furnish turtle meat to
the needy has just been started by
the Connecticut Board of Fisheries
and Game, according to announce
ment of the American Game Asso-
citation here. The Association ad-
vocates the Inauguration of similar
campaign with the two-fold objective
| in every state in the Union.
Connecticut, in the first week of
it's campaign, caught and turned over
several tons of live turtles to the un-
employed and other needy citizens.
Recipes on how to prepare turtle
were given with the turtles. Forty
small black bass have been found in
the stomach of one water snake,
and more than siXty-seven lingering
brown trout one and one-half inches
long in another. Remains of duck
lings as we'll as fish are found in the
digestive tracts of water snakes and
turtles.
Prize money is being awarded by
the Connecticut department for size
and number of catches and kills of
turtles and snakes. The unemploy-
ed are making mOneq, and getting
food too, in the campaign.
Game wardens and others are TAX
ing advantage of the Unsuitable appe-
tite of the turtle and also his pro-
pensity to sun himself often. Sew
eral kinds of turtle traps are used,
some with bait and some without.
Turtles are enticed into hoop nets
with bait, and others are caught by
a cut and balanced plank upon which
the turtle crawls to sun himself. A
net or wire box trap is set below. If
the plank is balanced, Mr.. Turtle
drops in when his weight disturbs
the balance; if the net or box trap
is placed beneath a stationary OBJ
ject, Mr.. Turtle is scared off the OBJ
iect into the trap. Turtles always
plunge off of summing logs upon the
of humans. Directions for
making turtle traps can be procured
from any state game department;
the family cookbook has excellent
recipes for preparing the meat. Mr..
Turtle has vicious jaws, so be care
full in handling him, the Association
cautions.

DAMMING RIVER FOR DUCKS
AIDS FARMERS CROPS

While attempting to help wildfowl
! by restoring water areas on the
nesting grounds in North Dakota,
sportsmen and farmers discovered
an invaluable aid to agriculture
the raising of underground water
levels, according to a bulletin of the
| American Game Association, caused
by the damming of stream. Incl
dentally, the builders of the dam dis
covered also that four cans of malt,
fourteen pounds of sugar and two
yeast cakes will raise any ordinary
garden variety of river five feet!
The Izaak Walton League Chapter
of Jamestown set out to put a dam
in the Pipestem river, stream some
forty to fifty feet wide at normal
stage, to create a lake within the
river for the benefit of the ducks.
Farmers along the stream agreed,
granted easements on their lands,
furnished teams, trucks and their
personal labor free. The sportsmen
made a marvellous concOctiOn of the
malt, sugar and yeast. Laboring side
by side for three Sunday mornings,
the sportsmen and farmers finished
boulder and earthen dam and en-
joyed it. Total cost $3.50 for the
ingredients of the thirst quencher.
This was in June.
Now they discover that they un-
Willingly contributed valuable aid
to agriculture. The damned waters
backed up the river for nearly four
miles and spread out hundred
yards or so from the middle of the
river, and the excess water started
to go underground. Growth along
the banks of the river was somewhat
arid and brown before the dam was
put in. Now it is lush and green for
half a mile or so back from the
banks. The raised underground wa
ter level is expected to extend for
several miles in influence, bringing
new life to crops and trees.
AS soon as the great difference
was noted, other farmers living along
he river petitioned the Walton chap
ter to put in dams adjacent to their
lands to raise their water tables.
Now a series of dams bentficial to
the farmers and ducks alike are to
be put in along the Pipestem. The
water areas and adjacent lands are
to be made game refugees.

BIG PRIZES SOUGHT by MANY

Old Man Depression is being
chased out of every town, village
and hamlet by thrifty women who
are filling glass jars with fruits
vegetables, jellies, jams and pickles
for next winters use.
They say that every cloud has a
silver lining, but this particular
depression cloud has gold lining
for over two thousand lucky women,
who are doing home canning and
sending samples of their wares to
the International Canning Contest,
at Aurora, Ill.
To arouse greater interest in the
thrift movement to conserve all
available food supplies, Ball Bro
theirs of Muncie, Indiana, are offer
ing more than $5O0000 in cash and
prizes to the winners in this con-
test. Anyone is eligible to enter.
There are prizes for everything that
can possibly be put into glass jars
for future use. There are prizes for
canned chicken, fruit, vegetables,
jellies, jams, and yes! even picked

a $4,000.
In addition to cash prizes there
are worthwhile merchandise prizes
such as q complete outfit of cloth
ing, overnight bags and electrical
appliances.
This is the "canningest" year in
history. Thousands of women and
girls, many of them who have never
canned anything before, are now
taking advantage of the plentiful
supply of fresh foods at reasonable
prices, and the low price of sugar,
and are canning, canning, canning.
Perhaps some long past ancestral
hunch is reminding them that this
winter may be a hard one, and
they'd better be about the business
of laying in a goodly supply of
foods. Anyway, everything from
soup to dessert is being canned.
This is very evident from the jars
that are being received now at Au-
rora.
This contest" says Grace Wall
Gray, secretary, sis held for many
reasons. OF course the first purpose
is to find the best Gamers in the U.
S. and foreign countries. The con-
test is to the women what the In
Live Stock Show has
been for years to the man. He has
put his cattle up in competition
against other mems cattle, so now
the woman has a similar opportun-
ity. She is putting up the work of
her hands against other homemade |
ers. There is friendly competition |
but it is a very strenuous compe-
Eition too.
Everyone who enters the contest
of course wants to be declared the
Grand Champion Gamer of 1882 by
"a outstanding judges, and thus re-
ceive the cash and glory that goes
with this honor.
"The great interest is centered on

which is $500.00 in cash and tro-

ng in the largest number of en-
ries.
Through the contest we try to
each the value of thrift by conser-
ing home canned products, and af-
er the contest is over, the jars are
distributed to charity. So we feel

The Harrington base ball nine
had a real picnic Tuesday afternoon
of last week and again fattened
their batting averages at the eX-
pense of the Seaford twirlers, when
they visited the latter town for a
return game. "Yam" Locates, the
locals star pitcher went half Of the
route and then gave way to T. Mas
ten. Leonard Masten, kid brother,
pitched the final inning for Har-
ringtOn and didn't allow a hit. The
Seaford aggregation collected six
hits but could not bunch them to
score any runs, Hill was the only
Seaford player to get more than
one hit. He collected a double and
a single. Hall, Short and Fl. Le-
Gates each gathered in two hits
while several of the others secured
one. Harrington after a weeks rest
due to the Kent and Sussex Fair,
had a very heavy schedule for the
balance of the week. On Wednesday
they played at Delmar. Thursday
they played Milford at home ami on
Saturday played Edgemoor. On Sun
day they played at Salisbury, Md.

HIT BYFLU

BERKELEY, Calf, Nov. 16.
Stanford and California football
teams turned from their battle
preparations for each other today
and attacked a common enemy,
the "flu," which threatened to
take the count over both squads,
who play their traditional big
game" here Saturday.
Stanford was hit hard while the
Golden Bears frantically threw up
barriers to ward off the epidemic.
The Indians of Stanford were
beating a path to the Palo Alto
Hospital, giving Pop" Warner,
their coach, a headache.
Among the victims were Dusty
Allen, fullback; Red Tarachetta,
guard; Nelson Gray, tackle, and
Ernie Caddell, star back. Just
released from the hospital we're
Red Gribben, tackle, and Stan
Anderson, Bob Maentz and Buck
Van Dellen, backs.
Coach Bill Ingram, of Cali
fornia, has ordered his men to
eat all Of their meals at the train
ing table instead of just dinner,
and has issued instructions for
preparing the food and steriliz-
ing the dishes.

Quite a few important folks are'
going to be strewn around the
premises on Saturday, but Brown
and Colgate, leaders in the race
for the East's title, will be sit
ting on the SidelineS waiting their
hiStory-making battle scheduled
for Thanksgiving.
Pittsburgh. tied by Ohio State
and Nebraska, is the only major
undefeated Eastern eleven seeing
action this weekend. The Pan
theirs, conquerorS of Notre Dame,
play a weak Carnegie Tech eleven
and should they run into another
tie here their claims for the
East's honors would get no more
of a hearing than Gandhi at a
fall dress review.
The Irish, however, meet Mr..
Gordon Chung-Hoon and the
other players from Annapolis
known as the Navy team at Cleve-
land and the high score Notre
Dame should roll up against the
Middies may still make Pitt look
important to some folks.
Which Is Worse
Harvard and Yale, having been
beaten by everyone else, will de-
eide which is the worst of the
pair in an afternoon under the
elms at New Haven. Yale has
the edge and the Blue must be
bad, indeed. if Harvard can re-
cover from its terrific beating by
Army and take this tradition
laden game.
Fordham, the big noise in New
York City, meets oregon State
here in an international tilt
which the Rams should win. The
New Workers really are not too
good and took it on the nose
from little Boston College and
Michigan State. Two lesser-known
Eastern teams, Waynesburg and
Susquehanna, both unbeaten,
close their schedules Saturday.
Susquehanna faces Juniata at
Selinsgrove, Pa, and Waynesburg
invades West Virginia to meet

Beaten by Everybody
But oregon State has been
beaten by everything west of the
Rockies, including Stanford, Ore
gon, Washington State and of
course, Southern California.

Columbia expects little trouble
from Syracuse and Manhattan
looks for a lot from Holy Cross.
Boston College engages Boston

NAVY STRESSES
A|RATTACK

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Nov. 16.
Preparing for the Notre Dame
game in Cleveland Saturday, the
Navy gridders are being drilled
excessively in its air attack. Naval
Academy squad had a long scrim-
mage against Squad B.
The Navy will use Notre Dame
offense against the Irish and will
be prepared to oppose the same
kind of plays they will deliver.
Campbell, fullback, who has an
injured toe, was in better condi-
ton. Chung-Hoon, flashy left half,
watched yesterdays practice, but
did not get into football clothes.
He may not work until Thursday,
but is expected to start against
Notre Dame.
