The Seneca Lake Region
BY BISHOP BATES, D. D.

BY BISHOP BATES, D. D.
Seneca Lake, April cit is being
noted, keenly, that some one, or
ones, are being lax about getting
the fox bounty money into action.
The state legislators passed the bill;
who is waiting for what and why?
IT seems the COP has for years got
ten into the habit of slow motion,
and they have never gotten of the
habit Hoover had something just
around the corner, and to this day,
no one ever found out what it was,
and it is doubtful if he knew him.
.eIf. We are living in the days of
fast time, the Atomic Age, and
brother, we mean fast Will COP be
able to set their pace with TINS age
time. No party will ever stand that
favor the rich and oppose the work
ing man; COP after 16 lean years
should begin to realize this II they
expect to reach any kind of goal,
they must spring into action, or an
other defeat will stare them IN the
face. We cannot select party to vote
for. we must vote for the man that
has rubber in his heels and is able
to spring into action pronto; our
county, more then ever today, wants
men of action, and yes, women also.
Vote for the man, not the party:
Many have sown their clover seed
and claim it was like throwing
money on the ground.
The Duke, Bethel Bates, has been
promised the delivery of an electric
washer next week, he wonders II
IT will be dream come true.
The Watson huckster wagon was
on regular schedule last Saturday.
Many folks are rushing their spring
blowing, in order to, this year, get
their crops in, before the middle OF
June.
The high power line of the Coop
went out of service Wednesday eve
ming at 8 o. m and came on again
at 8 a. m, Thursday morning.
The cutting of mine props re-
sumed operations Thursday on the
Elmer Bond ranch, Gun Gulch. Re
ports are that a mad dog got into
Nit. Ephraim last week and did con-
siderable damage before the animal
was shot. Many are just recovering
from the seige of high wind; and
doctors set forth the claim that the
high winds are killers of disease
germs, so the flu epidemic should
have been blown out Of existence
for a while at least. Reports all our
birds are with us but the famous
Martin, the last one to arrive. This
correspondent has failed to hear the
whipporwill as yet.
Jim Watson the live auctioneer is
very busy these days. No fishermen,
rod and reel anglers, have reported
being seen as yet; old sleWs and
back water bitches are filled with
fish, it is reported. The main part
of the Lake is drained below route
lat. Many of the roads in Seneca
Township had their backs scratched
last week, and are now in fair con-
-dition.
The Duke, Bethel Bates, was in
Caldwell with Clarence Moore last
week on business matters; the Duke
had a truck of coal delivered this
week also. Many contend this has
been a coal burning winter, and
many fell short of their supply goal
they had set up.
Many contemplate the planting of
corn the last week of April, perhaps,
some next to last, they don't want
to be forced to plant late as of last
year; they believe the time to plant,
is when the weather will permit, and
is warm enough, regardless of the
month. Many folks had formed the
habit of waiting for the first and
second weeks in May to plant and
for all their planting. These weeks
can't be depended upon to all be
fit days to plant Many farmers are
looking for seed 'taters.
The croaking of frogs are more
noticeable this year than ever be-
fore, there seem to be more of them.
Report are, there are frogs now in
the Lake large enough for frog
leg fry. Many went off the egg diet
so as to rest up for the regular
Easter gorge on eggs, they will be
cooked in all shapes and forms.
Happy Journal reading.
