Crops grown under deficient
soil conditions are likely to be

that have been adequately nourished are usually better body

Already there is ample evidence

passed into history, special re*

a memory and the unit is now

obviously antecede tbe thrilling
and realastic competitions in
which the saber plays no inconsequential part. Regular army cavalry officers are assisting unit,
squadron and regimental officers

ol tbe unit saber experts is First
Sergeant Warren L. MeKinney
who bas been encamped bere for
a period of one month. He won
brigade honors during 1929.
Major B. C. Jones, first squad
run commander, expressed satisfaction with progress within bis
command,, and particularly did •
be commend the dash aud vim of
tbe Tyrone and Altoona units. A
third unit of the squadron, tbat
from Puuxsutawuey, under
command of Captain J. T. Bell, is
likewise ofi to a splendid start.
Major Jones in informal chat
made it apparent that progress
tor the first lew days far excelled
the contemplations of those in
superior and subordinate posts

squadron and regiment.
On the scene from the outset,
Major Jones brought his command promininently to tbe front
and as a unit ot the 104th cavalry regiment it is displaying those
characteristics whicb will win tor

regimental competitions of Friday
B troop, as a squadronr"unit, plays
no small part in squadron activities. The Tyrone organization is
now engaged in listing its entries
tor the big Sunday rodeo, certain
to be a big drawing card for
thousands of people from in and
about central and eastern Pennsylvania wbo visit Colebrook
annually.

TROUT SEASON IMS CLOSED
SportimeB  Beport  Inditlerent   Snccen
Througn Ihe PsriSf
Yesterday brought to a close
the month ot July, as well bs the
legal trout fishing season. Wben
the fishing season was ushered in
on April 15, last tbe sportsmen
were in high glee and anticipated
sport in abundance when they
went forth to lure the "speckled
aristocrats" frsrh their watery
retreat. But their anticipation
was short-lived for the season just
ended was one of the poorest as
for good catches in the history of
the sport. This is largely due to
seasonal conditions tor in the early
part of tbe sport the streams contained much wild water and which
continued tor several weeks, preventing tbe fishermen from being
successful, especially those who
fly fish. Daring tbe latter days
of June dry weather set in and
the streams became lower and
lower, and thus the fish became
an easy prey to tbeir natural
enemies, such as snakes, raccoons
as well as other enemies.
Pennsylvania has many fine
mountain streams and particularly in tho central part of tbe
state. These streams are annually stocked with trout fry by the
Department ot Fisheries of the
iommonwealth, and it is strikingly strange why more fish
ihould not be taken by the sports-
en daring the opsa season.
There may be some plausible
aeons ior the scarcity of the fish
ring—thai. -:___ft,>aeaaoj
may i.ot all be due to low water
conditions of the streams, and the
natural enemies of the fish. We
believe the scarcity of fish in the
streams is largely due to illegal
fishing, by means of dynamite,
stir netting aod other ways, and
many sportsmen are ot the firm
opinion tbat mo3t all streams are
illegally fished by untrue tellows,
who seem to delight in "hogging
the streams." In one nigbt, by
such means as stir netting and the
use ot dynamite, more fish could
be taken from a stream tban halt
a hundred legitimate sportsmen
could take during the entire
season.
The writer while fishing in a
favorite stream in Bedford county
during tbe season just closed, was
informed by quite a reliable citizen residing along tbe stream that
certain fellows frequently stir
netted tbe stream iu March and
April, taking by this means hundreds of fine trout. Wiibiu the
past tew years the Bedford county
streams had beeu noted for tbe
large number ot trout which they
contained, aud when the sportsmen went it generally was witb
tbe assuiance tbat they would
return witb a nice catch. Today,
however, conditions are difierent
and tbe reason is not due to
dream pollution.
The illegal fishermen usually
escape detection, due largely to
tbe fact that tbere are not sufficient fish wardens to properly
patrol tbe streams. With the
meagre force oi wardens the De
partment of Fisheries has done
much toward bringing offenders
of tbe Act of Assembly to j astice,
but wbat is greatly needed is more
fish wardens, an army of strong
defenders of tbe law it necessary,
and then place every fellow wbo
side-steps the provisions of tbe
act behind prison bars. It is the
opinion of many sportsmen tbat
the next legislature should empower the Department ot* Fisheries to permanently engage more
fish wardens and who/Should be

Bsllwood  H»n Painfully  Injured   Whil*
Coloring Naar 8*xlonr Bedford Connty
Stopping to make some needed
repairs to an aatomobile along
the state highway in the vicinity
of Saxton, Bedford county, at 11
o'clock last Sunday night, Russell
Noel, a well known and popular
young man of tbe borougb, and
son of Scott Noel and wife of
Martin street was run down by
another automouile aud frightfully injured.
He sutlers trom three fractures
ot the right arm and lacerations
which required thirjty eight stitches to close, a fracture ot tbe right
hip and internal injuries and
numerous cuts and bruises of tbe
body.
He left .Bellwood at 11 o'clock
Suuday eveuiug going to Altoona
for two meu, inspectors ou state
roads, to take them to Saxton.
Everything went well nntil about
one mile out of Saxton wben they
had a punctured tire.
He pulled up to tbe side of tbe
road aud was fixing tbe tire when
a car driven by a Mr. Fouiz ot
Fredericksburg and occupied by
another man and two women,
plunged into Russell and dragged
bim tor a considerable   distance.
Following the crash in which
tbe young man was injured, he
was taken to the J. C. Blair
Memorial hospital in Huntingdon
and tbe driver of the car whioh
struck him aud bis companions
were placed uoder arrest by state
police and charges were preferred
them.,. .ft
liquor was found in the Foutz car
by the state police who oonduoted
the investigation and- made tbe
arrests.
A telephone message from tho
Blair Memorial hospital in Hunt
ingdon tbis morning was to tbe
effect that tbe young man was
resting easier and barring any
onforeeen complication will make
rapid progress toward recovery.
It was a distressing accident
and only indicates that more
stringent laws must be enacted
governing tbe operation of motor
vehicles.

Recently a sportsman who annually goes forth to tbe streams
and wbo is a close observer of

small dams ot tree stumps and
other material that will create

should be constructed in streams,
and especially in the mountainous

claims, aud rightfully too, tbat
during low water conditions, tbe
pool would supply ample protection from the natural enemies of
