MISTLETOE HUNT IS ON
"By-O Baby Bunting, Daddy's gone a-hunting

When the mothers of young chil- dren in the east Oklahoma country side sing this nursery song to their little ones they may out of loyalt7 to Mother Goose add the next two lines.
 For to find rabbit skin,
 To wrap the Baby Bunting in"
 But that isn't exactly what daddy does down there. When it comes the time of year that the baby needs warmer covering, daddy takes his gun and goes out to shoot down mistletoel This he sells for the Christmas trade and buys Baby Bunting a different kind of raiment. For mistletoe, with it's well-known holiday meaning, grows in abun- dance there and is always found high among the bare winter branch es of the native elm. Little boys climb for it, of course, but the quick est way to gather it for commercial use is to shoot it down.
 Open season" for mistletoe hunt ing begins about the last of Mo-

venber and the demand increases steadily until Christmas. Truck loads of the green sprigs with their wax white berries are driven to the cities of the north for the holiday trade. As the mistletoe is not always uni formly ripe at the time it is wanted, much "huntmgn is required to find sprigs whose berries are at stage to suit the demands of the buyers, At such times the roadsides may be srewn with discarded misiletoe, for the condition of the berries can not be seen until the sprig has been shot down. But such waste is not ia- mented, for mistletoe is a parasite that reappears in abundance each year, however ruthlessly it may be treated
