STiMj Uru ** <i>ive? IreJ thcu native haunts further down the river by the numerous forest fires ha have swept the swamps in that pui t of the sUite. ! Parties from the northwestern section of the county report deer were | seen in a field near Heaver Creek, unday. Another was reported seen as far away from the river as Lake Ohamokin, nine miles north of Camden. Reports from West Wateree are.to the effect that numerous other wild e *uch fts w>ld cots, coons and o possums are being driven northward on account of the fires. Chief game warden A. A. Richardson, at the request of the Kershaw county legislative delegation, has issued a closed season for this county until Thanksgiving Day. f All lovers of wild life are requested to cooperate with the game wardens, rural officers and others in protecting the deer and other animals driven out by fires. j On Wednesday The Chronicle received a wire from Chief Richardson, which reads as follows: I All game wardens have been notified to protect deer and other game during these abnormal conditions and prosecute any persons hunting in Kershaw and other counties during closed period. Rural police and other peace officers are requested to assist us in the protection of our game." Nets Are Unlawful In Clear Streams Chief Gaone Warden A. A. Richardson has addressed a letter of instructions to Game Warder* P. L. Munn, advising him that "nets or other devices for the collection'of) fish cannot be usde in the clear j waters of the state at any time." J The letter to Mr. Munn is as follows: I I recently mailed you copy of j opinion from the Attorney General's office providing that 'pets or other devices for the collection of fish cannot be used in the clear waters of the State at any time.' Dut to the fact that heretofore we have allowed I people to use nets from September to May for the purpose of catching non-game fish in the clear water streams, I think it would be well *mme<Rktely inform the public, through your county news- j papers, concerning the recent opinion of the Attorney General, by which we are bound; then, after giving due notice, I expect you to enforce the law, but I do not wish to take advantage of the public on account of their not knowing the*'proper construction of the law." i Chicken and Oyster Supper The ladies of the Woman's MissioncTT, Ilcr-tiz^ rx: rrru ' announce that they, will serve an oyster an dchicken supper at the community building Saturday evening from 6:30 to 9:00 o'clock.

' ' ; Miss Neely Writes Letter on Turkevs a| 1-htJ turkey belong* to the plu?n?i*int family ami was formerly found j from southern Mexico to Canada hut now it is rarely found north of Virginia. Regardless of where it is found, when cooked to golden brown, stuffed with dressing in which ha^ been added just the right amounts of nuts, sage and other seasonings and served with a generous helping of that cranberry sauce it is something that belongs to all America. Since many turkey* have been raised in Kershaw county this year Miss Juanita Neely's November Poultry Letter is especially timely. Thanksgiving, our national November holiday, will soon be here and the housekeepers will be clamoring for turkey. Jn order to-get the turkeys ready for market,- they should be given plenty 1 of grain?corn, wheat, peas?in order to get on as much v,;eight as possible. If plenty of feed is (provided near the houses, the turkeys will not range so far into the woods and fields, where there is danger of their being preyed on by animals and thieve^. Try to develop the turkeys for the Thanksgiving and Christmas markets which are usually the best. More and more turkeys are being served on special occasions through' out the year?banquets, holidays, dinners for various occasions, etc. I I In marketing a number of turkeys .at a time, try to arrange your sale I with local or not far-distant hotels. ! Many hotels serve turkey at least I once a week during the fall and winter months. When you have marketed all your turkeys except the breeders, begin feeding for egg production same as you do your chicken hens. A good home-mixed mash can be made of the following ingredients: 200 pounds y^Uow cortr'Tneel; 100 pounds finely ground oats; 100 pounds wheat shorts ;\100 pounds fish meal. Feed whole yellow corn, in the evenings as the turkeys come oftf the range. Provide a shed fur winter roosting quarters. Begin hatching the young pullets next spring in March and April.
