.haven’t received any official
announcement.
lng Ihe first killing frost, these
foods begin to diminish, and
other animals compete with
quail for the summer seed crop.
Under normal conditions, this
food supply will reach a critical
point during February and Mar-
ch. The cheapest <and easiest
way to supply winter food for
game birds Is to disc small
strips and plots around existing
cover. Discing will usually
bring good stands of dove week
partridge pea, and other suit-
able food plants. Fertilisation
Is necessary only on very poor
land and fencing Is usually not
necessary since cattle rerely
eat plants used as food sources
for quail.
All youngsters who plan> to
have beef animals as 4-H pro-
jects next year should contact
me Immediately. A number of
4-H'ars have already stated
that they plan to have calves.
But, In order to get everyone
started at the same time, 1
would like to be notified.

of worms .this spring??-’ If you
do, come by the office and pick
up a copy of Bullentln L-24S,

Fifteen window panes were
destroyed at the High School
and a flag pole bent. These
depredations marked a continu-
ation of the vandalism Involv-
ing school property of recent
months, according to Supt. R.
M. White. A few days ago the
school tax collector’s office was

Issue time warrants amounting
to $13,000. This will be match-

ton fund and Watson expects a
contract to be let before the
end of March.
The architect was conferring
with engineers Tuesday to as-
certain if bids could be trimm-
ed.
At this point It Is almost
certain economy to accept the
bids for construction and equip-
ment and raise the money In
this manner. It Is doubtful that
any of the contractors bidding
would lower prices. Also wage
scales are government-
regulated and are to be raised
in March, an Item which could
easily Cause new bids to be
completely out of reach.

summer months there la always
an ample supply of food tor

are producing seed and fruit

are supplemented by green plant
