Show THE CITIZEN DESTROYERS OF GAME POSTING PROPERTY against gunning will keep humans off, but has no effect on the depredations of vermin which destroy more game annually than is taken by hunters during the entire gunning season, is a significant fact to which attention has been called by a number of game authorities. Fanners Bulletin No. 1521, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, which may be obtained free, concerns the subject. Certain birds, animals and reptiles, which prey on fledglings, immature game animals and the nests and eggs of game, know neither bag limit nor closed season and have not the slightest respect for the rights of owners of land where game is found. These destroyers work swiftly and silently. wantonly slaying game while the property owner is on the lookout for hunters who might trespass on the land. Control vermin which does not mean extermination of species say competent observers, and good gunning will be offered in many sections where the supply of game is at present very inadequate. An idea of how numerous and varied may be the vermin of a tract of land is apparent from the fact that on several hundred acres in New Jersey a total of 427 destroyers of game were taken between May 1 and the end of July. The list included 73 owls, 50 hawks, 52 crows, 121 rats, 58 woodchucks, 10 weasels, 7 cats, 1 skunk, 12 snapping turtles and 43 water snakes.. Many of the offenders were caught in the act of killing game or robbing nests on the farm, which is devoted to raising game. During the fiscal year ending May 1, the Pennsylvania game commission paid a total of $121,869 as bounties on pelts of noxious aimals. Keeping vermin in check is considered one of the most important contributions to game restoration in Pennsylvania, . which enjoys the reputation of the best game state. A thing for the farmer to consider, it is pointed out, is that, in great measure, the destroyers of wild life also kill poultry and, in some cases, attack young farm animals. In handling vermin it is important, of course, to use discretion, say game wardens and others who have given long study to the subject. COVERS FOR BIRDS 13 WEN A PUSSY CAT DIES.

Wy fer is youse little foot tied, WHILE a farmer could not be expected to sacrifice, considerable tracts for the sake of having game, unless for commercial raising, the Department of Agriculture at Washington, says he can help the game situation by leaving patches of cover on fence rows or provide cover on land not suitable for cultivation because of the character of the soil or. other conditions. In the case of cover for grouse, such plants as rose, sumac, blueberry, bearberry buffaloberry, snowberry, dawrf birch, and alder are recommended. The ruffed grouse thrives among scrub oak, bayberry, rose, sum, ac, dwarf, birch, alder, poplar, willow, g and such plants as partridge berry, hawthorn, shrubby dogwoods, viburnum, wild grape, mountain ash, blueberry, blackberry, and cranberry. Cover of this nature is suited to pheasants also, but it is well to supplement the food supply furnished by those shrubs and trees by planting small grains and legumes as recommended for quail. Brushy ravines, overgrown pastures, or other waste land about farms are much better.Recommendations as to specig shrubs atfic kinds of tractive to birds and adapted to various parts of the United States are contained in Farmers Bulletins of the Department of Agriculture, which can be had free by writing to Washington for them.

PERSONALITY OF THE CANDIDATES The personality of the two candidates is an issue and one of great weight. Not since the Civil War has this been a factor more to be reckoned with. Mr. Hoover has all the better of this issue. He is easily the foremost public man of his time in ability and intellect. No man with a record of accomplishment to approach his was ever nominated for the Presidency. Voters realize this and many will vote for him because of it. Governor Smith has no background of this kind. He possesses the intangible quality we call personal magnetism to a rare degree and his record as a public servant is clean. His personality gets him crowds and cheers. Whether it will win him votes is another question. People flocked to hear Bryan and they applauded him, but they did not vote for him. Portland (Me.)
