clubs has two separate funds accord-
ing to Mrs A J Williams member

HIGHER PRICE RECEIVED
FOR STORED POTATOES
Potatoes that at the time of dig-
ging were worth as low as 20 cents
a bushel are now bringing 90 cents
and $I a bushel for Camp brothers
who raised 30 acres in Okfuskee
county this year
This was accomplished by storage
L Bankhead county agent points
out Camp brothers have a potato
house where their crop was stored
while other growers less favorably
situated were forced to sell on the
low market at digging time
Chicken may be canned with or
without bones but keeps better and
has better flavor if bones are removed
Drying corn Is the safest and ntost
practical method of conserving It for
those who have no pressure cooker
It also saves jars
Field peas for food may be left on
the vines until partially dry then
hulled and sun-dried before being
stored

Fondness for mash from whisky
stills and a resultant don't-give-a-hang
what-happens hangover has led more
than one dissipating deer to the
slaughter in the environs of the
Wichita Mountains in southwestern
Oklahoma Ben E Mobley state
game and fish warden has disclosed
When deer herds began to lose
their members consistently state
and federal game protectors started
out to discover the cause and stop
the leak Day after day and night
after night these operators lay con-
cealed in the range of these deer
listening for shots that would poirt
the way to new depredations and de
predators No shots were heard but
deer continued to disappear
Finally the carcass of a doe was
found within a few yards of a dry
cteek bed in which piles of mash
had been noticed but which had been
overlooked as a possible clue to the
mysterious disappearance of the deer
Ono quarter of the carcass was gone
for the piece de resistance of a
drinking feasting orgy of whioh
there were unmistakable signs near-
by Also nearby and weak from hun-
ger stood a small fawn
An examination showed no signs
of a bullet in the carcass of the
deer Its throat had been cut A
more careful examination of the piles
of mash disclosed the fact that some
of it had not been "through the
mill" but evidently had been put out
for deer bait
Search of the neighborhood show-
ed other similar "baits" with deer
tracks all about them
Further evidence the source of
which the warden declined to dis-
close until expected arrests are made
established the fact that the missing
deer intoxicated after eating of this
mash fell easy prey to the poachers
concealed not far away These men
easily roped them and then dispatch-
ed them by cutting their throats or
striking them in the head thus
avoiding the danger of bringing pur-
suit by the discharge of firearms
Not all the wiid ducks which pass
through Oklahoma on their semi-annual
migrations went childless this
year because of the drouth In Can-
ada Several flocks of teal and
sprigs and a smattering of mallards
have been observed in Oklahoma dur-
ing the last week according to Mob-
ley 'Oklahoma may not have such a
bad duck season after all" Mobley
said "but even should these game
birds show up in nearly normal num-
bers this fall I hope Oklahoma
hunters will be real sportsmen and
will abide by the thirty-day season
recently proclaimed by President
Hoover and will not exceed the 10-aday
bag limit prescribed by state
statutes"
Ban agalnst shooting wild ducks
this year until November 16 may
prove a blessing in disguise to Okla-
homa sportsmen who wield a rod as
well as shoulder a gun Mobley says
September and October are two of
Oklahoma's very best fishing months
the warden said yet after a summer
of fishing the sportsman always is
eager to cast aside the rod as soon
as the hunting season opens to start
blazing away in the fields
September this year likely will see
an unusual amount of dove hunting
because of the great abundance of
this game bird and because of the
lateness of the duck season but most
of the doves will be gone by early
October which should send sportsmen
back to lakes and streams for the
most pleasurable fishing of the year
"If the law of averages means
anything in fishing" Mobley said

1"October fishirig should be good this
year We all know our lakes are
filled with game flub of all kind are
better stocked than they ever have
been but fish have not been striking
worth a cent all year They surely
should be hungry enough and suffi-
ciently recovered from their mid-
summer lethargy to do some fast and
vicious striking this autumn"
Old Mother Nature is a pretty fair
sort of dame after all
Although she wiii send a I3 rnall
duck migration this autumn she has
provided an unusually large crop of
doves which promise to bunch unus-
ually late this year for their south-
et n migration September is here
and with it the opening of the dove
season has come but the doves here-
abouts have not yet evidenced the
slightest signs of bunching for their
get—a-way
"We should not forget either" that
she has given Oklahoma the best
quail hatoh it has had in a decade
The quail season opens November
20 four days after the start of the
abbreviated duck season this year
Thirty acres of ground on which is
located famous "Robber's Cave" and
a mammoth spring have been added
to the state owned game preserve in
Latimer county and becomes part of
this state park The land was pur-
chased under condemnation proceed-
ings for $30 an acre
Claxton Makes Long
Haul to Tennessee
Fred Claxton of the Claxton Trans-
fer and Storage started Tuesday
morning on what probably is the
longest haul by truck of household
goods ever made out of Norman:
Claxton drove the truck which is
carrying the household goods of Rev
and Mrs Harry J Bray to Lebanon
Tenn The trip will be more than
1000 miles
Claxton said he would bring a re
turn trip load of goods from Lebanon
Cabbage maturing at any time of

Price Inelasticity
Needs Adjustment
Before business can return to nor-
mal there must be a readjustinent of
price scales in the opinion of Dr
Floyd L Vaughan head of the de-
partment of business administration
the University of Oklahoma here
"In no forint r depression has the
inelasticity of prices of finished goods
been so marked" Vaughan said
"Prices of finished articles simply
have not been adjusted normally to
the cost of the raw materials used
in making them"
One of the most iniportant factors
in the Lidjustment of presunt econ
oinic conditions is that either prices
of raw materials must increase or
prices of finished goods must decrease
Vaughan said
The cause or the apparent inelasti-
city of prices is that trade associa-
tions are functioning effectively in
ma int a in ing Ftarti1rd prices thus
tradc-mathed articles have been kept
at a level whien formerly was normal
while raW materials are sold dispro-
portionately cheaper
