Numerous experiments have shown
that about the only value of corn
cultivation is io control weeds and
keep the soil open enough to absorb
moisture. Deep plowing prunes the
corn roots and decreases the yield,
especially in dry seasons. Frequent,
shallow cutlivation to kill weeds is
recommended.

Ever See Boxing Jackrabbits?
Some fight promoter might get an
idea from this: J. R. Barton of
Wichita Falls and a state game war-
den recently saw a pair of jackrab-
bits boxing. The rabbits repeatedly
jumped high in the air air hit each
other with their hind feet. Finally,
without either knocking out the
other or apparently gaining the ad-
vantage over the other, they de-
parted, each in a different direction.

Wild Turkey Increase
Here is another specific instance
in which it is proved that wild tur-
keys. if given proper protection and
food, will materially increase their
numbers. Reports to the Game De-
partment indicate a recent survey of
a Brown Counts- area shows there
are new 400 wild turkeys in a section
where 25 were planted in 1934.

Are Gar Good to Eat?
Since the drive by the State Game
Department to get angler fishing for
car with a wire noose has spread so
rapidly throughout Texas the ques-
tion is often asked as to whether gar
are good to eat.
The answer, according to the De-
partment’s chief aquatic biologist, is
that they are good tc eat. The dif-
ficulty of dressing a gar is the major
hindrance to exploitation of the fish
for menu purposes. Heavy clippers
or wire cutters are almost mandatory
to make the abdominal incision to
remove the viscera. The tough, scalv
skin can hardly be dented with a
knife. Some fishermen beat the
carcass of gars on a tree before at-
tempting the skinnihg process. This
loosens the skin and Is said not to
damage the meat, which is white.
The fishy odor will be missing if
one is careful to prevent any of the
slime on the gar skin from coming
in contact with the carcass.
Should a sufficient number of
sportsmen indicate a. desire for reci-
pes on how to cook gar to make
tasty dishes, the Game Department
will distribute such recipes.

Quail Need Water
An example of the necessity for an
adequate water supply If quail are to
prosper, especially in West Texas, is
shown by a report of Game Depart-
ment’s biologists. Tn LaSalle County
along a four-mile strip bordered bv
ponds, 253 bobwhilte and blue quail
were counted. However, in a 171-
mile drive through areas overgrazed
and with little water only 17 quail
were counted.
Chukars Still Question Mark
While a few reports of Chukar
Partridges doing fairly well have
been received, the majority of the
Texas Game Department Biologists
and other field men who have worked
with this bird, which is native to
India, are not optimistic over the
future of Chukars in the Lone Star
State. However, they are withhold-
ing final judgment on them until
they have had more time to deter-
mine the birds habits and adapta-
bilty to Texas.
It appears that if the birds are to
thrive at all, the will do in West
Texas. The foilowing report to the
executive secretary of the Game De-
partment is typical of many re-
ceived:
After a year and a half of exper-
ience In Orange Count)’ on a chukar
and quail project, the game keeper
in charge Is very pessimistic about
the possibilities of adapting Chukars
to Southeastern Texas conditions.
At present he is attempting to raise
them on wire, using bantam hens to
incubate. Last season some 200 adult
Chukars were given free range on
2.000 acres of good quail land and
they hatched off approximately 75
young birds. However .last fall these
could not be found. When the birds
were finally trapped early this year
only 60 remained. What happened
to the others is not known. Preda-
tors could hardly have taken many
as intensive control of opossums,
house cats, stray dogs and other ani-
mals is practiced. No signs of
predator kills were found in diligent
searches ever the area.

One of the features electric range owners prize most highly
is cleanliness—the utter absence of soot, smoke, fumes
and flame. Utensils stay bright and shiny after months of
cookipg. Walls and curtains remain clean and fresh. The
range itself stays sparkling white. And that’s only one of
the many advantages that electric cooking has over old-
fashioned, flame-type cooking. It’s faster, cooler, safer,
more convenient, more healthful, more accurate and a
greater time-saver. Come in today, see the 1940 electric
ranges and get the facts about the low cost of electric
cooking.
