DeIaware's Hunting Season
Goes Into High Gear

Landowners and sportsmen have
shown great interest in the first
change in Delaware's upland game
season in SO years. Since Delaware
farmers rely heavily upon cash
income from soybeans and corn,
the Board of Game and Fish Com
misisoners, after lengthy state
wide Investigations and game hear
ings, passed a regulation setting
the opening of the quail, rabbit and
pheasant season for the third week
in November, Friday, the 21st Ag-
ricultural interests feel that fall
harvest should be practically COM
pleted in the state by this date.
Field observations reported by
commission personnel indicate ex-
cellent reproduction by deer, pleas
ant and quail; good supplies of
rabbits and geese and fair num-
bers of ducks. Approximately 20,-
900 hunters should find plenty of
good sport this fall. Public lands
have been expanded and improved.

HUNTING THE BoBWHITE

One of the most interesting birds in the
United States is the bobwhite, which is call
ed a partridge in some sections of the South
east and quail in most parts of the country.
The bobwhite is a game bird which
thriveS on seed, peas and weeds, and who
prefers to walk rather than fly. Bobwhites
are beautiful birds, with brown and white
feathers, black and white dots, with the male
of the species featuring a snow-white ring
around his neck.
They are comparatively thick and plump
for birds, and excellent eating fare on the
table
The season is approaching when hunters,
all the way from New England to Florida,
and west, as far as Iowa, are hunting the
bobwhite. They are hunted usually with
dogs, which point the coveys, and the hunt
ing season is fairly long, by normal hunting
standards.
The bobwhite has many enemies, and
most of them in existence in the fall are
dead by the end of the hunting season. We
write this editorial about these fascinating
birds in the form of a plea to hunters to
spare the last few birds in covey, because
the number of this popular game bird is
constantly decreasing, particularly in the
Southeastern states.
The bird is becoming more rare because
large-scale farming operations are increas-
ing, pasturelands are being increasingly ex-
panded, and poor land is being turned to
timber. Insecticides may also affect the bird
population.
Hunters can help keep these birds in ex-
istence by leaving six or eight birds in each
covey. Once covey is wiped out to the last
bird, it will be a long time before any birds
return to the area, and that may end the
existence of birds in that area for a long
time, unless the land is stocked with game
birds by sportsman, or the owner of the
land.
We hope hunters in this area will &C
cept this very sincere suggestion in the ira
dition of good sportsmanship.

OUR CHILDREN GROW LARGER

Figures compiled by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company prove that today S,
children. are taller and heavier than those of
a generation ago. However, this does not
mean that-given the same food and advan-
tages- -today's adults would not have prog
ressed similarly.
Instead, it means that increased knowl-
edge of the principles of good nutrition, and
availability of a wide variety of foods, is
having its effect In addition, the rise in
living standards also contributes to the ac-
CELEBRATED growth as we'll as the decreased
frequency of debilitating diseases among
children.
The fact that our children are larger to
day than were children in the 1905 does not
mean that they will necessarily be that much
larger when they are adults. Although many
of them will be larger, and statistics show
that we are growing taller and heavier, In
some cases the statistics reflect an accelerat
ed growth because of present-day advan-
tages which would bring today'S children to
their maximum growth potential earlier thar
was the case with earlier generations. In
short diseases sometimes delayed the growth
pattern, and many times affected it perma-
nently, although not always.
There is no denying that number of
childhood diseases have been brought almost
to the vanishing point through immuniza-
ton, and that an improved diet, and better
knowledge of the factors that affect good
health, will create and is creating a taller
and heavier race, at least among Americans
and members of the British Commonwealth
of Nations-on which statistics are avail

THE SHORTER DAYS

November, second only to December
among all the months of the year is nos
talgic, or sentimental month. For one thing,
we are coming to the end Of the year, and
tend to look back over all its trials, tribula-
tions, successes and failures.
For another, Nature seems to be closing
down shop for the winter, and the days
grow constantly shorter. BY the end of the
month the sun is rising at about seven o.
clock in the morning, and the nights are
quite long.
The earth is fast losing the heat stored
up during the warmer, summer months. and
the ground fog which is often encountered in
fall is result of cooler air over a warm
earth. THE situation is exactly reversed in
spring, VIXEN warmer air passes over win
ter-cJole0 earth.)
The evening stars in November are Mer-
curry, Venus and Saturn, and the full moon
this year falls on the 26th--the day before
Thanksgiving Thanksgiving, one of our
most loved holidays, comes only four weeks
prior to Christmas this year.
Most nostalgia of all November's char
acteristics, however, is the colder weather,
the shorter days, the longer nights, and the
foliage of dying trees in the woods, the dn-
mistakable symbols of another diving wear.

THE CLASS OF 1916


The Glass of 1916 did not fare well in the
elections. This is the name that Washing
ton has given to the senators first elected
in 1916, whose victory marked the first Re-
publican national triumph since Hoover.
The 1916 election turned Congress over
to the Republicans, and many of the rank
and file thought this mandate to wipe out
New Deal legislation. Most of the senators
then elected thought so, too
Many Of the 1916 victofs won again in
1852 in the Eisenhower landslide. Now pub
lie sentiment seems to have swung against
them. Senators Edward Martin of Pennsyl-
vania and William E. Jenner of Indiana re-
tired voluntarily. So did Irving M Ives of
New York and Ralph Flanders of Vermont,
but it should be noted that on many subjects
they did not share their classmates views.
This year has seen the defeats of Will
liam F. Knowland of California, Frederick
G.. Payne of Maine, Charles E. Potter of
Michigan, Edward ]. Thye of Minnesota,
George w. Malone of Nevada, and Arthur
v. Watkins of Utah. The most famous men,
Der of the group, Joseph r. Mccarthy of
Wisconsin, died in office, and Democrat
occupies his seat today.
The newly elected senators have in COM
mon liberal outlook which may cause them
to be dubbed the Glass of 1853 1t remains
to be seen whether their hold on popular
flavor will be longer than that of the Class
''of 1916.

TOWARD FARM POLICY

There will be lot of new blood in Con-
gress when the Seth convenes next January.
There will also be quite a few old hands
around. And the old hands might well tip
off the new somewhat as follows: One big
thing you're going to have to deal with, this
year and next year and probably as long as
you last in Congress, is that bushel basket of
trouble known as the farm problem
Everyone agrees that this matter of ad-
justing agricultural production to give far
mers a fair return and at the same time not
step too heavily on the toes of the consum-
ing, taxpaying public is one of the most vex-
atious problems that Congress faces. There
is far less agreement as to why this should
be so. And agreement rides off every which
way when it comes to finding solutions
This is true partly because so many vest
ed interest groups apply pressure on Con-
gresslto have this or that written into farm
law. Thus tugged and hauled, the lawmak-
ers have found it impossible to arrive at
workable farm policy.
1t is especially interesting, in the light
of this background, that Iowa State College
has established Center for Agricultural
Adjustment. This effort to devise sound
agricultural policies through education and
research and the exchange Of expert opinion
from all over the nation has great promise.
1t could eventually give Congress the sort of
guidance needed to chart sound national
farm policy beneficial to both farmers and
the consumer. The progress of Iowa States
experiment will be watched with the great
est interest.
Milford chronicle., 1958-11-14
HUNTING ON POSTED LAND

There is little doubt that the problem of
fewer and fewer acres of available hunting
land is growing more acute each year for
hunters in many sections of the country This
is problem which will grow more acute as
the years go by.
There are several theories or cracking
the problem caused by the ever-increasing
number of acres posted by owners. One the
ory is that states should take over the job
of ,patrolling lands where hunters are per-
mitted to hunt on private property, in re-
turn for which the owners will get protec-
tion by state employees who patrol the
lands, protect woods from forest fires and
generally supervise hunting activities.
Some states already have inaugurated
such program, and similar programs have
been begun in other states. In some cases
these programs have succeeded, and in
others they have failed.
The point is that hunters can do much
to solve this problem if they will observe the
simple rules of courtesy and good sportsman
ship. They should not leave trash on land
they. are allowed to hunt On; should, of
course, be careful about shooting in the vicin-
ity of houses, or buildings, and livestock.
If hunters do this, and II Sportsmens
clubs in various areas will try to help solve
the problem of thoughtless hunter, thereby
increasing the number of acres on which
hunters may hunt freely, and if state wild
life and conservation departments, utilizing
land which could be made more productive,
will collaborate, the problem will be eased.
But in the end, it will be up to the in
dividual hunter to observe the rules of good
sportsmanship and thoughtfulness, and we
urge hunters to consider this an immediate
problem.
