To PUT
GRAIN MEN
On GRILL.
STATE CORPORATION COM
MISSION WILL PROPE
DEEP

A sweeping investigation Of the
business methods of the Oklahoma
Grain Dealers association, an or
ganization which includes practically
all grain men in the state. is to be
made by the corporation commission
within a short time, according to an
nouncement Friday afternoon. The
investigation will be conducted by the
commission in pursuance Of specific
request from Governor Lee Cruce'I
and as a result of number OF com
plants that have been filed recently
with the corporation commission by
grain growers.
1t is charged that the organization
is in absolute control Of practically
every phase Of the grain growing and
marketing industry. In some Of the
complaints that have Geen filed with
the governor and the corporation
commission, it is alleged that the as
sociation is organized along lines that
make it impossible for farmers to
handle their own grain or for an in
dependent buyer to conduct grain
business in Oklahoma, unless he be-
comes member of the association.
The organization, it is charged, Isl
so manipulated as to govern the
market to the extent that it can keep
down prices Oh all grain not handled
by member of the association.
In his letter to the commission the
governor states that he has frequent
ly received complaints AGAINST the
business operations Of the organiza-
ton, and urges that a thorough and
sreedy investigation be made

DUCKS OVERRUN THIS STATE
In Louisiana Hunters Apparently Can
not Kill the Birds Fast
Enough.

Washington.-"Nor sportsmen
can have no idea of the pleasures OF
duck hunting in Louisiana unless they
have visited that state and had actual
experience" remarked J. A. Dayries,
a member of the Louisiana game COM
mission. Mr.. Dayries is also mem
Der of the national game commission
and is much interested in the move
ment to protect migratory birds from
the guns of hunters.
1T isn't often that game birds over
run any hunting section" continued
Mr.. Dayries. but that is just what is
happening down in Louisiana. The
whole state is fairly flooded with wild
duck and geese, and the hunting sea
son will be the biggest we have ever
known in the state. The trouble is.
we shall not have enough hunters to
kill the birds. Under the Louisiana
law gunners are allowed to shoot only
in the morning.
After IL o'clock they must shoulder
their guns and go home. But the pres
lard duck has put new phase on the
situation. The big flocks of mallards
have invaded the rice fields and have
been eating up the rice crop to such
an extent that the state game commits
sion has granted 500 licenses to rice
growers, extending the time nm which
they are permitted to shoot the
| birds.
After the ducks have finished with
a rice field it looks like a cyclone haC
struck it. The damage to the rice
crop. due to the extraordinary mum
Der of mallards, has been so grea'
that it threatens serious loss to tbs
growers. hence the extension of time
in which the hunters may shoot the

trees chiefly for ornamental purposes.
while forest planting indicates the
planting of trees in stands of consider
able size. in which forest conditions
are sought.
In the farming districts of the east
where almost every farmer has pre-
served a small bit of the original for

is very general lack of appreciation of
the necessity for utilizing these wood
lots to the best advantage. and of the
methods by which this may be accom-

agement, which consists largely in
careful cutting that will keep the for
est cover intact, and in removing dead
any dying and inferior trees. Planting,
however, is very generally needed in
order to hasten the restocking of
woodlots with valuable species. One
of the fundamental principles of for
estry is that the trees in a stand must
be sufficiently close together to be
mutually helpful; that is, that their
crowns must form a continuous cover
to shade the ground and the tree
trunks, in order that side branches
may be self-pruned and the trees be
forced into straight upward growth.
Where there are open spaces they
should be planted, and where it is de-
sirable to cut a portion of a woodlot
clean much time can be saved by
planting instead of waiting for natural
reproduction. On many farms the
tract now occupied by the woodlot
would be more valuable for crops.
while on the same farm there may be
an irregular plat of land or a piece of
WORKOUT or rocky land upon which it
would be wise to plant trees. Ilant.
ing is also valuable to check erosion,
or soil washing
