QUAKER STREET
AND DELANSON 

Nearly every family in Delanson has a new car and they go by so fast you can’t recognize them even though they are your next door neighbors. Sedans and coupes seem to be the prevailing styles.

TO GIVE DEMONSTRATIONS
IN WAR ON WOODCHUCKS 

The following schedule has been announced by the Albany County Farm Bureau for a series of demonstrations on the eradication of woodchucks on farms by the use of calcium cyanide dust. 

May 15 at 9:45 a.m. at Daniel Heller’s, Feura Bush. 11 a.m. at LeRoy Winne’s, Feura Bush. 2 p.m. at Lewis Myers’s, Selkirk. 

The Farm Bureau agent Lincoln D. Kelsey will be assisted by M. A. Stewart, Junior Biologist from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Woodchucks are very plentiful in parts of Albany county, and many complaints have been received at the Farm Bureau office recently due to the damage which they cause to clover crops and injury to horses working in the fields where their holes are hidden in the grass. Mowing machines are ruined by running the cutter bar into the piles of gravel which these rodents throw up, and considerable damage is done in the fall when they eat squash and melons, cabbage and other crops.

— The Altamont Free library has been given $12.65, the amount left over from the Community Chautauqua which was held in Altamont two years ago. It was impossible to get all the signers together to decide what to do with this amount. Those interviewed by the treasurer, William S. Righter, were in favor of giving it to the library.
