Forest research studies conducted on this subject reveal, according to State Forestry officials, that very few tree species are perfectly uni- form in their coloration. The black gum, scarlet and white oak, and dogwood usually have lavender tinted lesves. The black locust, alder and willow have little or no leaf color changes. Leaves of the butternut, elm, hickory, chestnut and basswood turn to a rust green and yellow and occasionally a pure yellow. This is particularly true of th* basswood. The aspens, tulip poplar, birches and beech have pure yellow coloration of different shade, while the ash changes from s dark chocolate to violet, clear brown aad salmon. The leaves of the mountain ash, hawthorne, cherry, beech, plum and apple have a preponderance of green with either a slight or considerable mixture of purple, red and yellow. The leaves of most of the maple* hav* variegated tints, comprising all shades of purple, crimson, scarlet, orange and yellow oa th* same trees. In this connection among the better known trees of the State that produce berries which persist after the leaves have fallen are hackber- ry, sassafras, mountain ash,- poke- berry, shadbush, holly, dogwood, black gum and haw. This is also the time of the year, the Department points out, whea many people gather the cllmbiag bitter sweet, a plant with beautiful red berries. Bittersweet sprays should not be gathered, State ©facials say, without permission from the forest owner in view of -she State law which provides s fine for damaging trees and shrubs. eia —The closing Democratic meeting of the present campaign waa held ia Cornmesser hall Tueeegvy evening and waa well attended.

Mui CATCHES TWO POXES Milton Rehm, better known to his fellow sportsmen as "Mush", is s trapper, hunter and naturalist of no mean ability. While trapping is the vicinity of [Brush mountain, two beautiful grey foxes were lured to his traps on -Friday morning. The heavy fur on these animal* leads "Mush" to predict an extremely cold and severe winter. Other indications are the heighth bees' nests from the ground, cat- irpillars nearly all black, heavy usks on the corn,' bare trees in October and the large supply of nuts Stored by tha squirrels. Having gathered a large quantity Bt ginseng in September, "Mush" laments the reduced price on this tide due to the Chinese-Japanese but due to better times at and consequent higher -fur | his season's profit-? should be normal.

Forest research studies conducted on this subject reveal, according to State Forestry officials, that very few tree species are perfectly uni- form in their coloration. The black gum, scarlet and white oak, and dogwood usually have lavender tinted lesves. The black locust, alder and willow have little or no leaf color changes. Leaves of the butternut, elm, hickory, chestnut and basswood turn to a rust green and yellow and occasionally a pure yellow. This is particularly true of th* basswood. The aspens, tulip poplar, birches and beech have pure yellow coloration of different shade, while the ash changes from s dark chocolate to violet, clear brown aad salmon. The leaves of the mountain ash, hawthorne, cherry, beech, plum and apple have a preponderance of green with either a slight or considerable mixture of purple, red and yellow. The leaves of most of the maple* hav* variegated tints, comprising all shades of purple, crimson, scarlet, orange and yellow oa th* same trees. In this connection among the better known trees of the State that produce berries which persist after the leaves have fallen are hackber- ry, sassafras, mountain ash,- poke- berry, shadbush, holly, dogwood, black gum and haw. This is also the time of the year, the Department points out, whea many people gather the cllmbiag bitter sweet, a plant with beautiful red berries. Bittersweet sprays should not be gathered, State ©facials say, without permission from the forest owner in view of -she State law which provides s fine for damaging trees and shrubs. eia —The closing Democratic meeting of the present campaign waa held ia Cornmesser hall Tueeegvy evening and waa well attended.
