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.

PALL COLOR OF TREES
The spectacular Autumn
tion now taking place tat the forests
of Pennsylvania today prompted the
State Department of Forests sad-
Waters to identify the different colors of individual tree species.
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
