bert, formerly Gane Warden, and one
of the most influential and active pro

THE movement TO prohibit the use

posed TO any agency that would lead
to the greater destruction of game;
but / cannot. of course. say anything
as TO what official action the associa.
ton will take in the matter. Those
who have begun the move to prohibit
the use of the pump gun are infiuen.
tial men. ana believe they can push
through the law they desire. especially
rs they believe the country members of
the Legislature are naturally antag.
onistic to the pump gun.
THE use OF these guns has become
prevalent, and there is much property
right involved. II the action should
be taken, 1t would probably be the
most bitter contest ever waged before
the Maryland Legislature over game.
In addition to the tradespeople inter.

users.
1--WE are greatly disappointed at the
ill-success Of our plan to nave one of
the boats of the State fishery force
kept in commission to protect the fish
of the bay and tributaries. and to CON-
pei the carrying out of the fish laws.
The State spends much money annual.
ly for the propagation of fish, and we
contend that the protection of the fish
is just as important as their propaga.
ton. and that boat could be kept in
commission at practically no cost to the
State treasury.
"While there are thousands of hook.
and-line fishermen all over the State,
it is astonishing how apathetic some
of them are to do anything but talk
for the protection of the fish. The
most satisfactory development Of years
is that the commercial fishermen are
now seeing the need of protection, and
We are receiving cooperation from
quarters least expected"

A White Blackberry.

A fruit grower of Santa Rosa, Cali
fornia. has succeeded in producing
a perfectly white blackberry. 1t is
as white as snow, and is so transpar-
ent that the seeds may be seen in
side the ripe fruit. The berries are
sweet and tender--just as much so as
the very finest blackberries--and the
seeds are quite small. This new spe-
cies was produced from the we'll
known Lawton berry; 1t is called the
Iceberg"

Gsuerai Trade Conditions

liquidation at the expense OF industrials

continued cheerful feeling in Western

markets for the cereals also reflect
selling. but here the moving feature is
he good crop adviccs at home and

The iron and steel markets and those
