YOUNG PECAN
TREES DYING

Y During the present summer many
reports have come to the Georgia
Experiment Station that numbers Of
young pecan trees were dying. In
most cases the trees started into
growth and appeared perfectly nor
NAL for time, then the leaves turn
ed yellow, growth ceased, and the
tree died to the surface of the soil.
If examined when the leaves first
began to show the unhealthy collar,
the sap-wood near the base of the
tree was found to be dead and dark
colored. The sap-wood in this re-
gion soon develops a peculiar odor
which has suggested the name,
"Sour Sap",, by which the disease
is generally known among growers.
The bark over this region soon dies,
and, if the injury extends entirely
around the tree, the underlying It's
cues dry out and fail to transport
water and plant food to the upper
part of the tree.
Injured trees are often attacked
by bark beetles that bore small
holes into the bark and sap-wood.
Growers often attribute the death
Of the trees to the work of this in
sect. The bark beetle only attacks
trees that are already in a dying
condition.
The injury is in someway pro-
duced by cold. 1t is generally
thought the sun shining on the trunk
while the tree is frozen causes in
jury to the tender cambium tissue
between the bark and the wood.
Such injury occurs frequently to
pecan trees in this state. In pecans
it is usually found only in young
trees, before the sixth year. After
this time the bark becomes thicker
and more corky, and seems to pro-
tect the trunk from injury.
Many growers now practice wrap
ping the trunks of young trees with
sacks, grass, or other protecting
materials and have succeeded in
saving the trees.
After tree is once injured there
is little hope of saving it. The best
thing to do is cut the tree off near
the surface of the soil. The stump
will soon send up new sprouts. Re-
move all but one so that this one
will get all the nourishment posi-
Bile, and it will be large enough tc
bud the following summer. The ole
root system will push the bud int
bearing two or three years earlier
than q bud on a young seeding.

WANT JERSEY LEAD IN COAST
FISHING GUARDED

No other portion of American sea-
coast can now compete in the impor-
lance of it's fisheries with that part
of New Jersey between Delaware Bay
and Sandy Hook. Practically the en-
tire fresh fish supply of the Middle
Atlantic states, including the great
metropolitan area around New York,
is taken from the Atlantic Ocean
along these shores, while the COM
mercial supply is supplemented in sea-
son by the catches of hundreds of
thousands of hook-and-line fishermen.
A report of Protector James M.
Stratton, of the Fish and Game Com
mission, covering the coast fisheries,
shows that a total of 156 fish pounds
were licensed in 1922 by this depart
ment. OF these huge fish traps ia
were in the Atlantic Ocean and AZ
were in Raritan or Sandy Hook Bay.
Greater restriction of sea-fishing
methods as a means of conservation
is 10Y engaging the attention of state
and federal fish authorities. A migra-
tory fish law drawn along the lines of
the migratory bird law that would
protect fish of certain species during
their natural spawning season is adj
vocated bX many interests. The fact
that someofthe shore fishers reported
fish so scarce last summer that they
did not operate their pounds has given
promoters of protectory laws another
strong argument in favor of the pro-
posed measure for conserving the pub
lies seafood supply.
Oil wastes from ocean steamers have
created another serious menace to the
fishing industry, as wei las endanger-
ing the pleasure of millions Of visit
ors to Jersey ~seacoast resorts. This
oil is driven by wind and wave into
the bays and over the natural spawn
ing grounds of the fish, Its action
kills the eggs, which the fish deposit
mostly on aquatic plants in shallow
water and is equally destructive to
fish fry. Resort officials and property
owners, commercial fishing interests
and anglers clubs are cooperating in
seeking federal restrictions of oil
burning steamers that will check this
evil.--New Jersey State Fish and
Game Commission.

PLAN FOX HUNTS TO SAVE THE
RABBITS

determination of foxes from New
Jersey pines and farm lands, making it
possible to restore rabbits and other
small game to these areas, is the aim
of sportsmen in the central counties
who are promoting big fox hunts dur-
ing the late winter and spring months.
The wooded districts at one time pro-
vided excellent hunting, but gunners
say it is the exceptional occurrence
now to see a rabbit in the pines, ow-
ing to the increase of foxes, which
prey upon the small game birds and
animals. So scarce is the small game,
i intact, that the foxes are being driven
by hunger this winter to raid poultry
focks in all the cultivated sections
surrounding the pine lands. Gun clubs
have suggested that every licensed
hunter should contribute at least one
day to fox hunting during the winter
or early spring. They say the sport
holds out many inducements in addi-
ton to the conservation of rabbits,
pheasants and other game. There is
plenty of thrill in following the
hOuhuo, d hHS pSlI goes TO Lle lucky
hunter and the county rewards him
with a SO bounty for each fox killed.
Under direction of the State Fish and
Game Commission western rabbits are.
now being imported for distribution
over New Jersey hunting grounds and
the move to rid the state of foxes
will aid this restocking project.
Among many licensed hunters rabbits
are still the most popular small game.
In distributing this consignment
of game, wardens under instructions
from the commission will not release
rabbits on or lea fruit orchards or
truckfarms unless the farmers them
ask for them. Many of the
farmers are sportsmen, however, and
want game increased if it does not in
terfere with the growing of their
A satisfactory working agree
ment to this end is being effected be-
tween game authorities and the agri-
.culturists in each county. Another
ruling of the commission provides
that no rabbits shall be released on
lands.

WHITE SLAVERY IN ATLANTIC
CITY CHARGE OF MINISTERIAL
UNION

This statement was unanimously
adopted by the Atlantic City Minis
terial Union at it's regular meeting,
held Tuesday, and SEN to The Daily
Press for publication.
Having in mind the discussion that
is going the rounds over the laxity in
law enforcement, permit us to say:
Gas ministers of Atlantic City we
stand for prohibition; we fought for
it. Senator Edge is against it; he says
he has no use for it.
I'VE are in possession of informa-
ton that leads us to believe that there
are score of young girls in white
slavery in this city, and if testimony
is to be credited, under political pro-
lection because of money paid to rep
resentatives of men high up in civic
life.
Some of the testimony that could
be given would justify headlines in
the largest type ever used. 1t is not
our business to enforce law, but it is
our business to call attention to the
political sycophants who, while max
ing money, or building a political ma
chine out of lawlessness, tell the gen
eral public law cannot be enforced or
that it is the public's business to make
specific complaints.
1--WE are making our complaints
specific enough when we say that we
do not believe a honest effort is being
made to enforce the laws against
gambling, drink and prostitution.
More than this, we want it distinctly
understood hat the Ministerial Union
is behind everything the chairman Of
our Civic Affairs Committee, the Rev.
capacity; he is our representative and
spokesman.
while it is our business to change
the hearts of men, and thus their
characters, it is obviously our bust
ness to change the environment of
men. We cultivate flowers in favor
able soil, not in the desert. We run
automobiles, but not through uncut
jungles. By changing desert and
jungle we can do both.
1.-THE liquor interests, aided and en-
couraged by the wobbly-webfooted
politicians, are trying to make the
public believe there is an uprising of
public sentiment against the enforce
ment of the Eighteenth Attachment;
it is not so. But there is a heavily
financed campaign being carried on
by the liq%uor-loving crowd to discredit
this amendment that has put this
crowd in the same class with the lot
terry system. We refuse to become
partners in this ~disgraceful mess by a
program of silence.
I'VE hereby instruct the chairman
of our Civic Affairs Committee to give
this statement to the Atlantic City
papers with an earnest request that
they give it a conspicuous place in
their columns-Atlantic City Press.
