Trappers Busy
Muskrat trappers on BrOadkiln
and Prime Hook marshes have
completed laying their trap lines
and are now catching quite num-
ber of these animals. They report /
that indications are for most pro- /
fitable season, as the marshes seem .
to be we'll populated by these fur
bearing animals The pelts taken .
thus far are of splendid quality. /
Prices are very good. Many trap
pers sell the pelts weekly, instead
of keeping them until near the end
of the season, as was the custom
several years ago. There is less
danger of loss and price drop in
this method, they claim.
Farm Shop Classes
We are informed that free farm
shop classes will be held at the +
Milton school in the near future.
Farmers in this section are urged
to take advantage of these classes.
H. M. Benedict. vocational agricul-
ture teacher in the Milton school,
is in charge of planning for the
classes. He requests every farmer
in the vicinity to keep in touch
with him during the next few
weeks so that the classes can begin
as soon as possible. These classes
will deal with the repair of farm
machinery and should prove of
value to every farmer.
Where Are They!
The streets of Milton are desert
ed these days and evenings. The |
new gasoline ban on pleasure driv-
ing sure has housed" a lot of au-
tomobiles. We are now beginning
to learn that we have legs. and
that they will take one about pretty
good.
Fuel Shortage
There has been no lessening of
the fuel shortage during the past
week and is becoming serious. The s
matter should be taken up with the
powers that be and see if relief q
cannot be had, and that soon.
Distance LengthenS
One week ago; Harbeson was
about five minutes from Milton. t
Since the gas ban it is about four t
miles. This is a case where dis /
tance does not lend enchant- t
ment.
