| FRED W. BRAUN A check-up of the nation’s fatalities for 1938 is convincing proof that the pedestrian should materially improve that record by being careful. Almost 40 per cent of the automobile fatalities last year were pedestrians. The automobile driver is not always to blame. The pedestrian sometimes, puts the driver in a very precarious situation by “dumb” walking. In some sections of tie country, special campaigns and safety drives are being made to educate the pedestrian on safe conduct on our streets and highways. .Walk when you have the lights with you. Do not cross streets In the center of the block—cross at interactions. Do not jaywalk. SQUIRREL SEASON OPEN IN SOUTHERN ZONE The open season for squirrels • began Thursday, Aug. 10th in the sixty-nine southern and central Indiana counties making up the Southern Zone, with every prospect of the best hunting which Hoosier sportsmen have enjoyed in recent years. Nimrods in the twenty-.three northern counties which make up the Northern Zone must travel Southward to hunt squirrels until September 1, when the open season begins in that district. A six-ty-day open season on squirrels is permitted in each zone, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, explained, the difference in opening dates being due to climatic differences which affect the breeding seasons. Game wardens and conservationists in all parts of the state have reported an unusual number of squirrels this year. They credit this increase to the comparatively mild winter, favorable weather conditions during the breeding season this spring and to the game management program in which the department and the local conservation clubs are engaged. Daws governing squirrel hunting make it unlawful: To hunt without a license, To hunt, take or kill my fox or grey squirrel except during the designated open season; .To buy or sell a fox or grey squirrel; To hunt or kill fox or grey squirrels in any public park; To possess more than five squirrels after one day’s lawful hunting. To hunt on the land of another without lawful permission. Violators of the laws governing squirrel hunting face the confiscation of their guns and other equipment used in violating the law. (This same provision also applies to fishing and other hunting.) Squirrel hunting is a favorite sport with thousands of Hoosiers and brings many sporstmen from neighboring states into Indiana during the open seasons. Game wardens have been active for several weeks checking on reports of pre-season hunting and have made a number of arrests. FEED DEALERS PICNIc The dealers of the Ralston-Puv-ina Feed company and their wives and families held a picnic at Ideal Beach, Sunday. The dealers were from the Northern Indiana Division.

AUGUST LAST MONTH FOR TROUT FISHING Indiana’s trout fishing season ends August 31, Virgil M.~ Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, reminded Hoosier anglers today. The season began May 1 and has been marked by some. unusually good sport’ in the cold-running streams of northern Indiana. Development of the trout fishing in streams where temperatures and other conditions are favorable, has been one of the activities of the Division >f Fish and Game in recent years. Each year approximately a half-million young trout have been secured from federal hatcheries for planting in these streams. This stocking is being supplemented by trout propagated for the Divisi m of Fish and Game by the Elkhart conservation club of Elkhart. THE DAIRY HERD Dairy farming was 'ormerly confined to limited areas, with types of soil and climate, but through the development of scientific dairying practices during :ne last quarter of a century, is has been fohnd profitable under such varying natural conditions that it is successfully carried on to some extent in every state of the Uni »n. This has been made possible largely through improved feeding methods, which make the availability of pasturage for rhe dairy herd less important than lormerly. Years of research and feeding tests by govermental and private experiment stations have lead to the perfection of commercial feeds of a quality unequaled even a decade ago. Among the protein ingredients of the best feeds none has grown so amazingly in popularity and use as soybean oilmeal, the major product of the soybean processing industry). About 98 per cent of the output is used as a protein feed for poultry and livestock, dairy cattle being the largest consumers. It contains proteins which are 85 per cent digestible to dairy cows, and is more complete than other vegetable concentrates .’n its content of the amino acids essential for growth, milk production and body repair. In using soybean oilmeal there need be no fear of causing scours in cattle or fear of producing soft, undesirable butterfat. As J. W. Hayward, a leading nutritional expert, recently said, “In view of its established popularity and availability, soybean oilmeal is destined to be used in ever-increasing amounts as a practical and profitable protein feed for dairy cattle.” On August 1, 1938, the Chicago Cubs were nine full games behind the leaders, yet they won the National League pennant. They lost the world’s series to the Yankees in four straight games. The buggy whip industry is not entirely dead, as nearly half a million dollars worth were made and sold last year.

REVISED STATE PARK BOOKLET IS ISSUED A revised edition of the illustrated Indiana State Park booklet, describing each of the parks and memorials operated, by the Department of Conservation, is now being distributed, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner, said recently. Since the original booklet was issued by the Division of /.ate Parks, more than a hundred and fifty thousand copies have been distributed, many of them going to residents of other states who were interested in Indiana’s state parks as places for vacations and week-end outings. The new booklet pictures many of the developments which have taken place in the parks during the past year—new shelter houses, expanded picnic and camping areas, the new lake and Inn at •Spring Mill—adding to the facilities provided for public enjoyment, of these areas. Copies of the booklet can be obtained by addressing: Division
