Thirty-three chain store systems In the United
States took in only 2 lilo per cent less cash in Janu-

news OF crime much less extensively than they did q

AUSTIN Feb. l3.-5portsmen Of
the Valley should find an increased
supply OF white wings on which to
practice their craftsmanship as the
seasons 40 by II IN bill which iii. r.
Leonard. representative from HI
dalgo county. is nov preparing be-
comes q law.
For the past several seasons
there have been many complaints
from true sportsmen In the Valley
that the white wings were being
slaughtered in u wanton manner Al
n time when they were nesting. All
hunters know that to kill one OF
the birds. especially q mother bird
| during the nesting season provides
nothing more than sport. The
birds are in poor flesh and are
hardly fit for consumption But a
greater wrong than that is done In
the resultant deaths OF the young.
Each white winged dove has two
| young TO care for during the latter
summer months. Thus the destruc-
ton of one bird means In reality
the killing OF three. but that 4
not all. The annual disturbing Of
migratory birds during their nesting
season has one inevitable result
the failure Of those birds TO return
to that section Of the country where
they cannot find peace for rearing
their young.
Perhaps the best informed man
In the state ON birds and game OF
the Valley Is Chas. q. Jones, now
supervisor OF all game wardens In
the state. but formerly warden for
the Valley for many years. Mr..
Jones is heartily in accord with the
attempt TO protect the Valleys
white wings because Nhe has seen
the supply decrease from year TO
year.
AS the law now reads, the white
wing season opens on August 8 and
closes on October /. Leonard, In
attempting to rewrlte the law so
the season would not open until

Investigate Death Of
Montevideo Woman

Mrs. John c. Johnson, 3S years old,
living six miles southeast of Monte
video, was burned to death last week
when fire destroyed the house on the
Johnson farm. The fire is believed
to have started from the explosion
of gasoline stove in the kitchen.
Mr.. Johnson was in the barn Sun
day morning when he heard loud
explosion, and looking toward the
house, saw flames issuing from the
kitchen door and windows. Unable
to enter the house, he procured a
ladder with which he rescued his six
year-old niece through second story
window. The explosion and ensuing
fire destroyed the house and contents.
The, body Of the victim was found
on a mattress in the basement of the
house directly under the part which
had been a bed room. 1t is thought
she had attempted to smother the
fire in her clothing by wrapping a
quilt around herself. Authorities
are making an investigation of her
death.

STERILE GRAIN HEADS
DUE TO STEM MAGGOTS

White heads in wheat and barley,
which showed up thickly in some
parts of the state this year, are due
to insects known as wheat stem
maggots, explains A. G. Ruggles,
state entomologist and professor of
entomology at University Farm. The
adult of the wheat stem maggot is
a two winged fly.
If the plant showing the blighted
heads are examined, the injury will
be found just above the joint. For
this reason the damage is sometimes
incorrectly attributed to the cereal
joint worm.
Using up all straw, so that none is
carried over from year to year, and
the burning and cleaning up of fence
rows and other spots where the mag
gots may live through the winter, are
the control measures recommended.
