MENACE TO FISHERIES
Practices of Commercial Fisher

Atlantic Sturgeon and Salmon Have
Practically Disappeared, He Says
Pollution of Streams and Spawn

New YOrk.-The salt water fisheries
of this country are seriously menaced
by the present practices of commercial
fishermen, pollution Of water and i'm
proper spawning regulations, declared
John B. Burnham, a member of the
Migratory Fish Conservation COM
mittee, and one of the ~originators Of
the migratory bird law.
Off the coast of Lower California,
Mr.. Burnham asserted, the water II
frequently white with fish killed by
purse s~einers, who cannot take them
to port for sale.
He says that the Atlantic sturgeon
and salmon have practically disap-
peared and added:
unless radical action to preserve
our fish is taken in the immediate
future. this country will find itself
facing the problem of trying to re-
store a natural sourc of great i'm

committee, an organization believing
in the necessity for federal control Of
the fisheries, soon will introduce in
congress a bill, similar to the present
migratory bird law, looking to the
general protection of fish in the waters
of the United States, Mr.. Burnham
said.
The migratory bird law, he stated,
has proved conclusiyely that game can
be conserved by proper legislation and

ACROSS THE DEADLINE
AT THE KENWORTHY

Frank Mayo never had a more
fitting role thar that of John Kidder
in ACROSS the Deadline," the Uni
versal Special attraction at the Ken
worthy theatre Saturday. The pic
ture is based on a Clarence Budding
ton Kelland story.
AS the son of one of two brothers
who haven't been on speaking terms
in twenty-three years he has a "tick-
lish" situation to handle. And the
portrayal Of the difficult role is
graced by all of the stars best style
points, while his manly personality
lends itself readily to an exact de-
lineation.
When the young son finds a girl,
wearing a bridal veil and wedding
ring, lying unconscious in the woods,
he hasn't such a simple time falling
in love with her and marrying her as
the rules of good photowriting usual
ly prescribe. About them from all
sides come various persons pulling a
regular "1Ost and found" stunt. The
girl has more claimants apparently
than Cleopatra had suitors.
Jack Conway was the director in
charge of the production. He was
director behind Herbert Rawlinson's
successful Universal picture, s'The
Millionaire"

Whether the total effect of a wind
break is good or bad depends upon
whether the benefits derived from its
influence are greater or less than the
injury resulting from the sapping and
shading of the ground nearby. Some
crops do better han others when
shaded. Seeding crops. such as tim
otIly and alfalfa, are least affected.
Grains which develop early in the
spring, such as oats and wheat, are
most affected. and corn takes an in
termediate position.
Windbreak Sometimes Injurious.
The old argument that a ~windbreak
uses more ground than it is worth con-
tinues to bob up occasionally, support
ed mostly by farmers who have not
investigated carefully. 1t is admitted,
frankly, that the effect of a ~windbreak
is not beneficial in every respect, and
that there are ways in which it is
quite plainly injurious. Every farmer
knows that trees spread their roots
extensively to fields seeking moisture;
and they take not only the moisture;
but some of the nitrogen content of
the soil also. But his does no dis
pose of the question Of having or not
having a windbreak.
To determine the total effect. crop
measurements were made by forestry
experts in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and
Minnesota. Average, rather than ex-
ceptional, conditions were used, the
object being to discover the effect OF
those influences which are continuous,
and affect every annual crop grown.
These measurements convinced spe-
cialists of the forest service of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture that the crop gain in fields of
small grain, in the protected zone, is
sufficient to offset fully the effects of
and sapping.
In a wheat field protected by a lei
windbreak the gain amounted to about
bushels an acre where the pro
was most complete, and grad
,allv became less as the distance from
The windbreak increased. The total
gain was about equal to the amount
IF grain that could have been grown
IN the shaded ground near the trees.
The q in which the measure
were taken was not one of high
nor did it lack moisture
In another instance, on he south OF

lee, and the conservation of this
moisture. Here cultivation was pos
sible within four feet of the trunks of
the trees, so that the increased yield
of the field, amounting to about four
teen bushels an acre at the highest
point, was practically clear gain.
The total gain for the whole field
amounted to the yield of a strip of
ground as long as the windbreak, and
three times as wide as its height. Or,
had the ~windbreak, which vas 20 feet
high, occupied a strip of ground 60
feet wide, the gain in the field crop
would have paid the rental on all this
ground.
Extent of Tree Belt.
The corr crop showed more consist
ent and marked benefits from protec-
ton than any others. In the region
concerned the summer winds are al
most wholly from the south, so that
the only effective rows and belts ex-
tended in an east-west direction The
effect on corn was very marked for a
short distance on the south side of
such windbreaks, and for a much
greater distance on the north side.
The effect was visible early in the
season, which a srather cool. Height
measurements on one field showed the
plants to be AZ feet high in the first
IS rows next to the windbreak, while
beyond this protected zone the height
was only 2M feet. This luxuriant
growth was still in evidence at the
end of the season, and not only pro-
duced more fodder. but bigger and
heavier ears. The field showed a pro-
duction of 50 bushels to the acre in
the protected part, and only Al bush
els in the exposed area. The net gain,
including the area shaded by the trees
was equivalent to h yield of a strip
twice as wide as the height of the
trees, which were SO feet high. The
increased yield paid, then, for a strip
feet wide. The w~indbreak hap
to be wider than this, but need
have been TO afford the same
amount of protection.
With ordinary field crops the farmer
come on a benefit from VIII
protection which will compen-

Nebraska and Kansas-a wind
break whose width does not exceed
two or three times its height will
more than pay for itself, regardless of
the timber it may produce.
