REFUGE PLAN
IS EXTENDED
Game Preserves Being Estab-
lished Over State

The state game and fish commits
sion will continue to enlarge on it's
game and refuge plan, +. r. Judd,
state fish commissioner, told ga
thering here recently to hear game
laws explained.
Mr.. Judd directed attention to the
Game and Fish Laws, stating that in
his opinion they compared favOrably
with the laws Of other states and
were liberal in their terms as re-
CARDS the open seasons for the sew
eral species Of game and fish. He
said that while our native prairie
chickens, sharp tailed and ruffed
grouse, were the noblest of game
birds and were more numerous IN
North Oak ota than in other states,
yet in his opinion, the Chinese or
ring-necked pheasant had a place in
our game life, and that most OF the
criticism of them as tending to drive
out our native birds was not based
on facts or proved by any reliable
data. He further stated that the
game refuge plan was, and would
continue to be, prime factor in the
conservation of our native and exotic
species of game birds. The Commits
sion has obtained 100 pair of Hun
garian cartridges for distribution in
the state which it is believed will do
we'll in the western part Of the state,
and perhaps in the eastern part.
In fish work he stated that the
hatchery at Spiritwood Lake would
operate this spring, and that good
supply of eggs had been obtained.
mostly the walleyed pike, some
steel-head trout. Plans were being
made to distribute many of the ma
tive fish from well-stocked waters to
those that need to be re-stocked.
Mr.. Judd also wished to. stress the
fact that no part of the cost of OPP
Grating the Game and Fish Depart
ment was born by the taxpayers, as
all funds. were obtained by the sale
Of hunting and trapping licenses, and
that several thousands of dollars
were turned in the State School funds
from fines imposed on violators of
the game laws.
Mr.. Eastgate' slides of some so of
our native birds with remarks there
on were interesting and educational.
This talk was listened to by small
but much interested audience, a great
many Boy Scouts being present. Mr..
Eastgate stressed the fact that the
crow was very destructive bird, and
that by reason of its depredations.
the supply of game and bird life
was much reduced; he advised con-
certed action in getting rid of it. In
speaking of the hawk family, Mr..
Eastgate said that most of the hawks
were beneficial to the interests of
the farmer, as their food was largely
rodents and insects, and the hawks
should be protected rather than ex-
terminated.

aided him in the great part he play
ed in the nations affairs.

SAVING TO CONSUMERS

Washington, March 1s.-Nine raw
materials essential to American in
dustry and agriculture, whose prilcl-
pal production sources are abroad
are controlled in greater or less de-
gree by combinations of foreign pro-
ducing organizations, Secretary Hoo
yer wrote to Senator Capper, Repubz
lican, Kansas.
The circumstances affecting each
commodity have been determined by
special Commerce department investi-
cations, and the secretary assorted
that the situation required feoeral
legislation, suggesting particularly
modification of fJteign trade statutes
to allow American purchasers to COM
hine in their buying, without regard
to existing antitrust laws.
Urges Selling Combine
He advocated the extension OF the
Webb Pomerene act, which allows
American producers to combine for
the purpose of selling in export SO
rs to permit the setting up of COM
mon purchasing agencies by Ameri-
can interests which utilize the mon
opolized foreign raw materials.

WINTER WHEAT
OUTLOOK GOOD

Chicago, Mar. 1S.--Prospects for
winter wheat, especially in the west
and southwest, led to price setbacks
in the wheat market today during
the early dealings. There was no.
ticeable absence of aggressive buying
and values gave way under scattered
selling. Opening prices which var
led from unchanged figures to sc
lower with May Sl.06A to $1.062s and
July SLOTS to Sl.07A were followed
by moderate decline.
Subsequently weakness in New
York stock and cotton quotations act
ed as something of a weight on wheat
which closed unsettled, one fourth to
three -eighths to one cent net lower,

TODD COUNTY HAS TWO BIG BLAZES

Mission, S. D., Dec. 29.-Fire of
supposed incendiary origin destroyed
a fine barn on the Houston ranch
about ten miles east Of Rosebud on
Christmas night. Fortunately, the
fire was discovered in time to save
all the livestock. The loss is partly
coverd by insurance.
A second fire the same day oc-
Cured on the Beauvis farm a few
miles north of Mission. The small
son of Mr. Beauvis had become the
proud owner Of toy gun which
needed caps for ammunition. Lack
ing the caps, the youngster secured
some matches and inserted the heads
n place of caps.
Seeing dog run into hole in
a hay stack he gave chase, placed
his gun in the hole as far as his arm
would reach and fired The head of
the match flew out setting fire to the
huge stack of fifty odd tons of hay,
which was soon reduced to ashes.

The most important of these show
points in any show sample is uniform
ity. Corn as it grows in the field is
never entirely uniform, and rigid Sc
lection is necessary to keep it even
reasonably true to type. Uniform
type is desirable ideal and in judg-
ing an exhibit of corn the man who
selected it is being judged more than
the corn is. Consequently the grow
er's ability to select corn that is UNI
form in length, circumference, color
depth OF kernel and all other points is
of fundamental Importance. Be sure
that our sample contains ears of the
same type. One of the most common
mistakes Of corn exhibitors is to put
one or two good ears of very diff
ferent type into an otherwise uni
form sample. No Judge should con
slder such sample in close competi-
ton.
Trueness to type in variety contests
is of Importance. All ears in a show
sample should be free from any
mixed or cross pollinated kernels as
these are evidences of careless sclec-
tion and breeding. The ears should
be uniform III color and the rows
should be straight and we'll filled at
both the butt and tip. Except in
certain uncommon varieties yellow
corn should have a red cob aud white
corn q white cob.
A nearly cylindrical ear is preferred
at mcst shows. Straight rows of ker-
nels, none of which pinch out are de-
sirable unless this is variety charac-
teristic. The butts should be well
rounded and well filled. The tips
should be well filled although slight
space between the rows is desirable.
Pack your sample carefully before
sending it in to show. Put your name
and address on the sample
