WILDFOWL SEASON CLOSES
JANUARY 81

Saturday, at sunset, will bring to
an end the open. season for the hunt
ing of wildfowl in the United States.
The season has been a very unsatis-
factory one in Maryland and am sure
! has been in all states east of the Mis-
sissippi Valley. Maryland and the
Atlantic Coast states depend on Ca
NADIA for at least 80 per cent of their
bag. The drought which prevailed
in Canada in 1929 and 1880 did not
affect the breeding grounds of the
black duck which is the Hudson Bay
Country nor the wild goose, swan or
brant, whose breeding grounds are
in northernmost part of the North
west Territory and the Arctic Circle.
However, all other species of Wild
fowl were seriously affected by the
drought which prevailed, causing
thousands of lakes to become arid
and mother ducks which laid their
eggs on marshy areas surrounding
these lakes, when the baby birds
were Matched, found the water
had entirely disappeared. There
fore, thousands upon thousands of
little ducks, known as "puff-balls,
died in their nests.
The wildfowl situation is probably
more serious than many of our Mary
land sportsmen are aware. There is
a strong sentiment prevailing trying
to induce. the Biological Survey to
close the, season entirely for the
hunting of wildfowl in 1882. We,
hope such action will not be taken,
but, at this time we appeal to the
sportsmen and hunters of Maryland
to comply with the law and not hunt,
pursue or kill any wildfowl of any
specie after sunset January 31st I'M
til the opening Of the hunting season
November LIST, next. Through our
patrol system, we shall use. every eff
fort to prevent violation of our wild
fowl laws.

Fine Statues of Buddha
in Japanese Shrines


Four gigantic statues of Buddha have
been erected in Japan. The largest
one is located in the city Of Kyoto,
and dates from 1901. 1t is a wooden
figure, consisting of only head and
shoulders; but even so it reaches to
the ceiling of the lofty hall in which
it is enshrined, and is So feet In
height.
The next largest is 531a feet in
height, erected in the city of Nara. 1t
is made of plates Of bronze soldered
together.
The third in size of these images,
but which perhaps gives the most ma
jestic impression Of the four, is located
at Kamakura, erected m the Thir-
teenth century. It Is 40 feet inches
in height, and is formed of sheets of
bronze cast separately, brazed togeth-
er, and finished off on the outside with
the chisel.
The hollow interior of the image
contains a small shrine, and the Wis.,
itor may ascend into the head.
The next, and smallest of the four,
was built in 1891 at Hyogo, in the
precincts of the temple of Nofukuji.
It Is 4S feet high. It was largely
through the efforts of paper manu-
facturer of Hyogo, named Manic Sho-
bel. that this statue was built But 1t
by no means equals the ancient sta
tue at Kamakura.

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland
John saw the Holy City,
On the Island in the Sea.
And the white company stands
ing,
That could not numbered be.
The bells in the steeples were
ringing;
No clouds could mar the day;I
And the Heavenly Hosts were
singing;
All tears were wiped away.
And there shall be no mora
dying;
Neither sorrow, nor crying,
nor pain;
No heartaches, or anguish, or
signing;
And we shall be young again.
And God himself shall be with
us,
Our God forever to be.
In that land of eternal glory;
And there shall be no more
sea.
| will meet you on that morn
ing,
When the mists have relied
away,
And Gabriel blows his trumpet.
On resurrection day.
When the dead in Christ ara
risen,
To meet Him in the air;
On that glad and happy morn-
ing;
Oh. may we all be there.

ACRES OF GOLD
BY J. B. Abbott
Labor Costs Money-Grass Re-
quires Little Labor

According to some recent
cost of production records in
Lancaster county, Pennslya-
MIA, 'to produce a four year ro-
tation Yielding 81 bushels Of
corn, 1856 pounds slower, 1873
bushels of oats, 1858 bushels Of
wheat, and 1920 pounds of hay
on four acres, requires 226
hours of man labor and horse
labor at cost of $59.61. To
maintain an established pas
ture would require annually on
four acres not more than eight
hours of man labor and horse
labor for top-dressing mineral
fertilizers and repairing fences
at an annual cost of $3.50. II
we add $2.40 per ton, the cost
of grinding the grain necessary
for cattle feed, the labor cost
of the four acres of grain rota-
ton would be approximately
$1,000. On the basis of the
above yields, 765 pounds of di-
gestible crude protein and S,407
pounds of total digestible nu-
trients would be produced, ex-
GLIDING the oats and wheat
straw. On an average of the
three soils, where complete fer
tilizers were used, the blue-
grass pasture produced on four
acres 1886 pounds of crudedi-
gestible protein and $685.
pounds of total digestible nu-
trients.
On the basis of the above
figures, labor cost necessary to
produce one ton of digestible
crude protein would be $17S.22
for the rotations and 1882 on
the pasture. In like manner
one ton of total digestible nu-
trients would involve a labor
cost of $0.66, respectively"
There is the whole story in a
nutshell. A ton of nutrients
from pasture grass involves a
labor cost of only $0.66 as COM
pared with 1854 for a ton Of
nutrients from typical cultivat-
ed crops. Other production
rental, fencing, and fertiliza-
ton, may be assumed to be
about the same for arabic land
and pasture, certainly no
higher for pasture, so the
economic advantage of pastur-
over manger feeding becomes
at once apparent. That being
so, why continue to try to solve
the problem of shortage Of
grazing by manger feeding
during the normal grazing
season?
In challenging the practice
of Manager feeding during the
normal grazing season I am
not advocating starting the
dairy COW. She must have
plenty of feed, of course, but
why give it to her by substitute
ing expensive manger feeding
for cheap pasture feeding ex-
cept for these brief periods
when it must be done on ac-
conut of drought?
1t is a much wiser policy to
improve the pasture or even to
make a pasture on arabic land
if one must go to that length.
That costs something, Of
course, but itcosts far less than
the manger feeding which is
necessitated by shortage of
grazing.

They we're told they would have

probably not work the first part of

without extra pay for overtime. And
they were against the terrible speed
Up.
Sunday night organizers of the
Metal Workers industrial League got
together with number of men in
the shop in order to organize them
and to lay the grounds for a strike
throughout the plant, because the
men in all departments are raising
hell. Monday morning the organ
izers spoke to a number of workers
Of the paint shop at the gate and
the workers said if the boss started
anything they would not stand for
it. Before the men started work the
boss wanted to fire three men in the
department who we're fighting
against the terrible conditions, but
the men stuck together and said if
the three we're fired they would all
go out on strike The boss had to
yield to the collective resistance Of
the workers In the meantime, eight
or ten more men were hired in the
paint shop because the bosses are
expecting some trouble,
