ASK PERMISSION TO HUNT

With the season open to pheasant,
quail and rabbit hunting, beginning
Monday, November Is, the annual
reminder to ask permission from
the landowner to hunt is in order
The recent game census figures
reveal the greatest pheasant, quail
and rabbit population the state has
had in many years. However, many
mo Hunting" signs will be posted
throughout the hunting territory.
Most of these Keep Out" signs
are posted because, at one time or
another, the lack of sportsmanship
and fair play on the part of hunters
has necessitated them. Most of
these posted properties are open to
hunters in whom the landowner has
confidence. 1t is therefore the re-
sponsibility of the individual sports
man to make himself welcome on
these farms.
The Importance of farmer
sportsman relationship cannot be
over-stressed. for on the agree
ableness of it depends our upland
game shooting. One careless or ma
licious act by single hunter may
close a given area to all for long
period of time. If everyone con-
ducts himself as real sportsman
the mo Hunting" sign will soon
disappear
Hunters cannot be urged too
strongly to contact the owner Of
the. property on which they expect
to hunt,

A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE
MISS IDA HARRINGTON

The late Miss Ida Harrington
whose death occurred on September
81, 1913, at Jefferson Hospital, in
Philadelphia, and who spent her
early childhood in Milford, has
been paid a tribute by her employ
ers, with whom she worked for
the past eighteen years, in letter
to Miss Harrington's sister. Miss
Anna Harrington. 1t follows:
Sleighton Farm School for Girls
Darlington, Delaware Co., Pa.
Miss Anna Harrington
Newark, Delaware.
My dear Miss Harrington:
At the last meeting of the board
of managers of the Sleighton Farm
School for Girls, the members ask
ed me to express to you our deep
appreciation of all that your sister
meant to the farm and our united
sorrow in her passing. Her work
had won the respect of all of us
who came in contact with her, but
more than that. her spirit had won
for her a place in the hearts of the
staff, the girls and the members of
the board, which can never be for
gotten. We can never measure the
influence of her life on those who
touched, and it is difficult for many
of us to enter the farm now with
out feeling her never failing well
come. Her family has indeed pre-
cious heritage and the board men,
bers feel that they share it with
you.
Very sincerely yours,
EDITH HILLES DEVICES
Secretary of the Board
of Managers

Pasture And Hay
Survey Made In Kent
CONTINUED from rirst Page,

NNNA@~e~%NN
University of Delaware, also pre-
pared a series of letters which went
out to dairy farmers at timely in
tervals during the spring and sum-
mer seasons. In the recent letter
which was sent out by the county
agent there was enclosed a self
addressed card containing a list of
pasture improvement practices, and
dairy farmers have been asked to
check those practices which they
followed on their farms this year.
This information will be of value
to the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice in planning this program for
1914, especially in view of the SER
ious feed shortage situation and the
urgent need for the growing of
more and better home grown hay
crops to supplement commercial
feeds. Farmers have been request
ed also to offer suggestions as to
how this program might be i'm
proved in the future to best meet
the needs of this country.
Along with this hay and pasture
improvement program. dairy far
mers are also vitality concerned
about herd improvement in which
non-profitable cows may be re-
moved from their herds by testing
for individual milk and butterfat
production. This program is i'm
portant at any time. but it is of
greater significance during a per-
iod of feed shortage when many
farmers may be forced to sell all
or a part of their dairy herds be-
cause of this feed situation and
the shortage of farm labor.

AS we grow older we realize
how frail is the separation be-
tween the living and another
world. On Sunday evening as l
sat in our living room. my at
tention was attracted to a fa-
miliar figure as it passed un-
der a nearby light. At once l
recognized it as that of Mr.
Augustus HolsOn, so many
times had l watched him as he
slowly made his way home
from down town. In almost ex-
actly twenty-four hours the
news of his passing shocked the
neighborhood and the town.
How quickly and yet how love-
ly a way for the transition. He
had live quietly and amicably
with all men and had made
friends innumerable by the even
tenor of his life. He was lone
ly the past few years, but there
was respite from that for each
evening he enjoyed companion
ship with a few close friends
and that sufficed until another
day. His judgment was respect
ed by many who will miss his
advice. He was a trusted friend,
a courteous neighbor. a good
citizen.-V. S. T.
