THE NEWS PRINTERY,"
THE TEXAS GAME LAW.
What the State Says You May or May Not
Lawfully Shoot
Only a few more days to the
beginning of the game season.
and since Texas now lias a strict
law. vigorously enforced by the
army of deputy game wardens,
many inquiries are being made
as to the provisions of the law.
Below will be found the essen
tial restrictions or regulations.
The open season is as follows:
Deer November 1- to January
1; limit, three bucks no does. j
Turkeys December 1 to
March 1; limit, three turkeys.
Quail, Partridges and Doves
November 1 to February 1;
limit, twenty-five birds.
Prairie chickens, pheasants,
antelope and Rocky Mountain
sheep not to be killed for five
years under any circumstances.
It is unlawful to purchase,
offer for purchase, transport
within or without the state for
purchase, wild turkeys, ducks,
geese, grouse, prairie chickens,
pheasants, partridges, quail,
doves, pigeons, plover, snipe,
inclr-inme or curlews. Each
j1"- L-
bird constitutes a separate of
fense. The penalty is a fine of
from $10 to $100 or imprison
ment of from five to thirty days,
or both.
Unlawful to sell, offer for put
chase, deer, antelope, Rocky
Mountain sheep, hide or antlers
thereof.
Netting or trapping of wild
birds prohibited.
Unlawful for common carrier
to transport game unless pre
scribed affidavit is made by per
son killing same. They must
have killed it and that it is not
being shipped for market, but
for personal use, and such per
sons must take passage on same
train. Three days of killing of
wild ducks (seventy-five) per
mitted at one shipment.
Possession of game out of
season is prima facie evidence of
guilt, and each bird is a separate
! offense. The state game warden
and his deputies have the same
power and authority to make
arrests and serve process as
sheriffs and the same power to
secure aid. He may arrest with
out warrant.
A game bag one way can con
tain a limit of twenty-rive birds
of all kinds, and no more. It
makes no difference whether
there are ducks, doves and
quail only a total of twenty-five
killed one day is allowed.

Still Can Not Believe It
Last week being excursion
week, there were quite a number
of homeseekers from the North
who. visited Canyon and the sur
rounding country, Although
the number was not quite as
large as usual, the percentage of
buyers was larger than ever be
fore. All expressed their ap
preciation of the merits of the
Panhandle, but a few were loath
to believe their own eyes and
were inclined to view our climate,
our soil, our water, and the
crops of grain that grow here
with something of the same
philosophy of the Irishman upon
seeing the kangaroo for the ftrst
time. A circus came town anu
of course Mike and Pat went to
see the animals. All went well
until they came to the kangaroo
with his short ears, short fore
leirs. long hind legs, long tail to
balance his peculiar shaped body,
and the pockets on either side
for carrying the young, llns
was too much for Pat's credulity.
le was too wise to be deceived
by any such delusion, and with
a slap on Mike's sheulder, ex
claimed, "Shucks, there's no
such animal."
Of course this sounds ridicu
ous. and is only a piece of Irish
originality, but really is it not
much more absurd for a man to
rnv from $100.00 to $200.00 per
acre for land in any state when
he can buy land in the Panhandle
with equal, if not greater, pro
ducing value at from fr-0.0l) to
$40.00 per acre? Watch this pa
ner and read the letters of men
who have farmed here as well as
elsewhere.

One trouble with the country
is that people have permitted
their appetites to outgrow them.
The one thing needful, as many

BROOM CORN A SUCCESS.
Bray Farmer Sells a Shipment of this Product
at $65.00 Per Ton.
Some time ago the Banner
Stockman had an item concern
ing the yield of broom corn grown
by G. A. Oiler of Bray, in the
eastern part of Donley county,
embodying a statement by Mr
Oiler to the effect that after twen
tv vears of experience in raising
this product in the the north he
finds Donley soil and climate bet
ter adapted to the plant than any
he had ever seen. We note that
last week Mr. Oiler shipped five
tons of his broom corn to lch
ita Falls where he found a mat
ket for it at $Gj per ton.
If a number of our farmers
would go into the broom corn
business along with Mr. Oiler,
Mr. Corner and possibly one or
two others to whom the culture
of this valuable product is now
confined, market facilities would
be better themselves and the dis
nosal of the corn, which is now
the most difficult feature of its
culture, would be made easy.
Even with a market so far off,
with its conseepjent trouble in
marketing, broom corn is bound
to be a profitable crop at !(. per
ton and with a yield of a third to
a half ton per acre. Daily Pan
handle.
Speaking for the Chickens.
A Southerner, hearing a great
' 1.!. ..Kw.l,.-. l-.!..
commotion in ins cuiiveu imun
one dark night, took his revolver
and went to investigate.
"Who's there?'' he sternly de
manded, opening the door.
No answer.
"Who's there? Answer or I'll
shoot!"
A trembling voice from the
farthest corner.
"Deed, sah, day ain't nobody
hyah 'ceptin' us chickens."
From Everybody's Magazine.
The Fort Worth Telegram has
the following editorial regarding
the Panhandle's great victory:
Hats off to the Panhandle the
irarden snot of the world.
The people of the Panhandle
know what they have got ana
they are daring the wide, wide
world to dispute the claims they
are urging.
Twelve counties in the Panhan
dle have exhibits at the Dallas
fair, towit: Dallam, Potter,
Moore. Swisher, Hale, Floyd,
Briscoe, Gray, Donley, Wheeler,
Childress and Hall.
These twelve counties have
joined in issuing a defi to the
state of Texas to match these
agricultural exhibits in quality,
quantity and variety.
The only reason this challenge
is not made to the world is that
Texas, with the Panhandle, is the
acknowledged superior of the re
mainder of the universe in agri
cultural matters.
It is well that one should blow
his own horn, when he can do so
with pleasure to himself and
with prolit to those who hear
him. The Panhandle of Texas
knows exactly what the rich soils
of that section will produce and
the desire is apparent that it
would like that those living in
darkness should have light on
this subject.
In no other section of this
country has such marked ad
vance been made in an agncultu
ral way as in the Panhandle. It
seems only yesterday when tin
vast fertile area, pregnant with
the most wonderful agricultura
possibilities, was a great domain
over which the long horn steer,
the booted and spurred cow
punchers and the prairie dogs
and the rattlesnakes had ful
sway.
What changes the fleeting
times have wrought. The cow
man is now forced to loosen his
grip on the hold of things; the
man with the hoe is to be found
in every section of the great Pan
handle: he tickles the earth with
his plow and with the passing o
a season his granaries are over
flowing and his bank account is
as fat as a corn fed pig. No
chills, no fever, no buck ague, no
mosquitoes, no other ills, pests
and nuisances that inflict a less
favored section are heritages of
the Panhandle people. The winds
that sweep the broad prairies
arc as chock full of health giving
ozone as the soil over which they
blow is tilled with fertility. The
society is the best in the world
and the school house and church
have followed the plow and the
thresher.
The Panhandle has a right to
be proud of its achievements
The challenge issued to the world
in tones unmistakable and in lan
guage so simple that it cannot be
misconstrued, will not be accept
ed. It is as safe a bet as a roya
Hush aye better, it will win as
easily as a "six full" when a six
full is backed by nerve and grit
and the real thing all through.
Hats off to the Panhandle! She
has won her own way to the hall
of real fame in the house of real
greatness.
