BIRD REFUGEE
ACT PRAISED
Adequate Protect o n
Assured By Law
Jardine Says

Secretary Jardine Of the United
States department Of agriculture,
considers that the Norbeck-Andre-
sen migratory bird refuge bill.
which has just been enacted into
law by a unanimous vote OF both
branches Of the 10th congress and
by approval of the president on
February 10. is one of the most
important wild life conservation
measures that have been written
on the statute books of any ma
ton.
The outstanding exception is the
related migratory-bird treaty act
1918. which the present law is de-
signed to supplement. Both laws
we're passed to carry out the obliga-
tons OF the United States under
the treaty with Great Britain to
protect the wild birds that fly
back and forth each year from
Canada, and both will be admins
tered by the Bureau of Biological
Survey Of the Department Of Agri-
culture.
The new law" explained the
secretary. gives additional force
and effect to the earlier measure

SO. AMERICA
NOW BUILDING
Era of Industry For
Brazil And Other
Nations Noted

SAC PAULO. Brazil, Feb. 22.-lR)
All South America has under
taken to industrialize itself and
supply the manufactured goods its
people need.
1t Is an uphill job. South Amer
leans have been thinking in terms
OF land and agriculture for four
centuries. The Portuguese ana
Spanish land grants were the basis
for all fortunes until recent years.
Coffee, sugar, rubber, cattle. fruit,
grains, rice and cotton supported
the upper class people and afford
ed labor for the workers.
Most of the large fortunes OF
South America are in great es-
tates. The rich are not inclined
to industries and will not invest
their fortunes in them to any
great extent. Consequently cap
ital has come from abroad.
Sac Paulo. which claims to be
the greatest industrial city south OF
the equator OF any continent. has
grown into a city of 100000 under
industrial expansion. 1t was for
tunate in having the worlds great
est coffee district at its door. But
Sac Paulo no longer rests on cof-
fee. It has profited by the abun-
dant water power in this part OF
Brazil and has set itself to manu-
facture the goods Brazil's 35,000.-
600 inhabitants require. Cotton.
wool. jute. leathed. wood and all
sorts of metals are converted into
the articles required by Brazil and
neighboring countries.
Rio de Janeiro has also been in
dustrialized to a considerable eX-
tent. II Is Brazil's greatest shoe
center and has important cotton
mills, hat factories and other indus
tries. 1t also manufactures wall
paper.
Brazil already manufactures
practically all the ordinary wearing
apparel required by the masses and
is rapidly extending its factories
for the manufacture OF more lux
uricus articles because living
standards are rising rapidly.

Early Harvesting
fOnions Barred

RAYMONDVILLE, Feb. %
Warning onion growers against the
dangers Of harvesting their crop too
soon, a bulletin has been issued by
buyers. in which it Is pointed out
that II the onion Is picked too early,
the crop will be a complete loss.
This Is explained by showing that
II the onion is harvested before the
moisture stops going to the top
green's, but instead goes to the onion
itself. the onion will shrink after
shipment, and not reach destina-
ton in good condition.
The crop in the Raymondville Sec
ton is declared to be in fine con-
ditiOn. and an unusually large re-
turn is promised. BUYERS now are
contracting onions in the field from
$3.50 to $3.50 per crate. depending
on the quality.
Shipments are not expected to be-
gin until about the middle or latter
part Of March. 1t is said. this de-
pending entirely on weather con-
ditionS.

by providing federal funds for the
survey, purchase, and establish
ment Of large areas throughout the
entire country to be maintained as
inviolate NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., nest
ing and resting grounds where for
eve the migration species OF birds
may enjoy complete protection.
The measure as passed is a ma
tional acknowledgment OF the ire
mendous Importance of the birds
Of America as aids in the develop
ment Of agriculture. II acknowl-
edges also the will OF the American
people to give adequate protection
TO the beautiful and harmless crea-
lures that are heard In season from
every forest, copse. and hedgerow
in the land. And 1t further recog-
nizes the importance OF the migra-
tory game birds as a food supply
and primarily as ar incentive to the
healthful sport. outdoor study, and
recreational activity so essential In
the development of sturdy Ameri-
can manhood
The act definitely strengthens
the arm Of the federal government
In its sound, constructive, and pro-
gressive policy Of bird protection.
Civilization and the advance OF in
dustry, which have otter been
ruthless in their disregard OF the
needs of the wild creatures. are
influences that from year to year
have decreased the water and
marsh areas of the country By
many thousands Of square miles in
the aggregate. 1t is evident that
close seasons. bag limits. and re-
strictions imposed upon the gum
ners Of America by the game laws
will all prove ultimately ineffec-
tual to perpetuate our birds If the
destruction Of their habitat Is
allowed to continue unchecked.
