On this occasion the writer would
like to consider the question from a
somewhat different aspect. Two Ques-
tlons trouble q good many people who
do not shoot and who, therefore, arc
not familiar with that form Of sport.
Such as these are not infrequently OF
the opinion that the game wardens OF

mission are supported by a general
tax on all citizens. That OF course, Is
not the case. for the money, in States
which exact a hunters license fee,

on the man who shoots--in many par
tlculars the most fairly imposed tax we
have in this country. No one, there
fore, who does not shoot contributes a
cont of the money that goes 10 the
support OF the man paid to- protect
both game and non-game birds.
The second troublesome question for
the man who doesn't shoot Is as TO
the rights conferred by the hunters
license. Many owners Of farms. for in
stance, are, not unnAtually,, OF the
opinion that The license gives the
hunter a legal right TO trespass on Farm

Is putting tile Allies and the

Great stocks of wheat are iso.
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced TO Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January |, Australia had
stored 1U0,O00,o00 bushels OF
wheat that was ready for cX-
port--but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an eXportable surplus OF 10000
900 bushels. Now Australia has

India, at the same time, had

stored for export. During April

the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
