Dear Mr. Palmer:
Something should be done in this
part of the state to permit people to
shoot, trap or get rid of foxes in any
way possible. They are certainly a
very serious menace to farm life and
they have made it almost impossible
to raise ducks, geese, turkeys, pheas
ants or quail and I have talked to a
number of farmers who are complain
ing bitterly and really something
should be done at once.
A few years back we had enormous
coveys of quail at our orchard and to
day you can hardly find a quail in
that country. I have talked to farm
era who formerly raised quantities of
turkeys and every one without an
exception told me they just quit
trying to raise turkeys as the foxes
invariably eat them up before they
get grown. I happen to know that
the foxes have been catching chickens

Editor The Mountaineer:
The undersigned wishes to make a
statement to the farmers in view of
the outcome of the recent referendum
in this state.
Those of us who opposed compul
sory control did so for many reasons,
We did not think , it was a sound
policy and we did not think it could
be acceptably administered. We were
specially concerned on account of the
discriminations against the small
farmers. Those who advocate com
pulsory control must recognize the
necessity for reasonable provision for
every farmer that is , allotments
sufficient to enable him to support
himself and his family and those de
pendent upon him.
I believe that these principles were
the actuating cause for the outcome
in our state. I do not think our
farmers wish to part with the benefits
of Federal assistance in its many
forms. We are thoroughly in favor
of soil conservation and we think the
appropriations now being made ought
to be continued, and we suggest that
they be so distributed as to be of
the greatest benefit to the smaller
farmers, enabling them to produce
crops in a balanced agriculture, to
