Fishermen on the lakes in the upper part of the state have re ported seeing squirrels swim ming the lakes and have actually caught them in fishing nets. More than the usual number of squirrels are seen crossing the highways. And in the woods, they seem to be unusually nu merous and very active. Is something unusual happen ing in the squirrel world? In the opinion of e number of experts, apparently yes. Professor R. E. Ware of Ctom- son has noted what appears to be a population explosion. He point ed to a grassy space in Die lawn below his laboratory and said: “I’ve seen as many as 10 squirrels down there at one time this fan.” Are there too many squirrels for the food supply? Extension Forester BUI Barker told me that the acorn crop in the higher places of the upper Piedmont was scarce. So are the hickory nuts, except in the mountains where the crop is heavy. This may be the reason for the squirrel’s great activity at this mer, 2 acres northeast of Lau rens for $800.00. John A. Thompson, Jr., and Henry M. Farts to W. D.

Arthur Childs and Sallle Childs to Southern Holding Corp., lot in Gray Court for $10.00 and other time. On the other hand, Frank Nelson of the Wildlife Resources Department, Columbia, offers another possible explanation: “There’s some evldenre that squirrels sometimes have mass migrations similar to that of lemmiftgs.” These migraDons may or may not be related to food supply, he indicated. The European specks of lem ming—another kind of rodent—Is notable for making devastating migrations in enormous num bers at long and irregular Inter vals. Whatever the reason for their travels, the squirrels seem de termined. They don’t besttnte to swim such forittidhble Bodies of water as the Lake Hartwell Reservoir. I have seen large numbers of squirrels killed on the highways. And I’ve had to dodge live ones. Other people with whom I've talked have made similar obser- “Iqnirtf 1» seen,” Dr. Webb sakL “Some trees have already been cleaned of acorna.” Dr. Webb said.a possible ex planation of the population ex- hunting zones.

Mr. Nelson said he hadn’t noticed unusual activity in the central or eastern part But if this is an actual migra tion, the squirrels may be seen in more eastern parts later. But Mr. Nelson did say the acorn crop was good in the cen tral parts of South Carolina. Acorns are the main item of diet for squirrels, although hickory nuts are probably the preferred food. Squirrels also sat dogwood berries, pine seed, bods, and seem to like mushrooms. They apparently can tell the differ ence between the poisonous and edible mushrooms. Squirrels will eat most edible seed. They will eat corn which is left in the field. And you can expect them to make forays into your pecan trees. I have just received some ob servations from Dr. L. G. Webb, project wildlife leader, Clemson University. He confirmed that “PRESS the DOWN BUTTON like a GOOD BOY . . . aai we’d ge have a nice lee »** We never let our customers down!

Most of the year we take for granted something our forefathers fought and died for . . . a free press. The Clinton Chronicle is as much a part of our life as our job, home, or school. Na tional Newspaper Week is set aside to honor the men and women of the press, and tell the story of the importance of newspapers to our way of life here in Clinton. The week will feature special stories and editorials, assay contests for students, and window displays. October 11-17, and all the year round, let's remember the part our CHntom Chronicle plays in the democratic way of life.
