If We had tried to make up the deficiency by irrigating the land with an ld-fashioned we'll pump, we should have had to provide about seven and one half gallons minute throughout the summer sea- son for each person in the United States.
 Every man would have been forced to inn port 22 helpers from abroad to work the pump handles in eight hour shifts. each pump ing gallon minute. Or to make 1t specific to one region; in the Ohio Valley this sum- mer there was water shortage of more than 50000 tons for each l00-acre farm, or about 600 tons day for the whole season. Man did not try to circumvent nature by use of the hand pump, but the artificial devices by which he did attempt to produce rain were even less practical states Dr. C F. Marvin, chief of the Bureau.

CHRONIC FOR BATTLE?
(Hartford ,fimes.)

Although opposition was couched
 in mild terms, there can be no doubt but that the sentiments expressed at the meeting of the Connecticut as- sociation of city and town court
 judges indicate a hostile attitude toward the proposed district court plan now before the legislature The vote to retain as members all alumni" judges, and to hold an- other meeting in fortnight and
 instruct the executive committee to function as a steering committee, wuold all seem to point in the direc- ton of consolidation of active inter- est and effort.
 One thing is earnestly to be de- sired, namely, that these officials will voice their sentiments in pub- lie so that their arguments may be met, if possible. Perhaps wise changes can be made in regard to some of the details of the proposed district court plan. What should not happen is that these incumbents of minor courts in the state should operate under cover to thwart adop- tion of the judicial councils recom- mendations. It is disclosing no se- crets to say that minor court judi cial appointments. made through legislative machinery, are inevita- bly bound up with local and state political organizations. To be ap- pointed judge of a city or town court one naturally seeks and usual ly receives the support of the towns representatives in the legislature who ordinarily work co-operatively with local political leaders and the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-27

One point that the senate special commit tee on the conservation of wild life recom
 mended was that the farmer might interest himself more in this movement. Says the committees report, The raising of games
 especially game birds, can be made desirable by-product of the farm with slight expense to the farmer and landowner, and at the same time furnish recreation and entertainment for the sportsman, who now realizes that unless there is cooperation with the farmer, to the pecuniary advantage of the farmer, game will disappear, and this understanding is borne to the sportsman he realizes the neces- sty of cooperation, and that he should bear his part of the expense of the protection and reproduction of game. Recent discussions all indicate better understanding of the relation of the farmer to the ownership of game. It is upon his land that many of the wild fowl nest and their young, and it is over his land that the sportsmen with his consent must travel in their efforts to shoot Or capture these birds. . Perhaps that is one reason why there is so much enmity between farmers and city sportsmen. Too many of the latter class are apt to trespass wilfully. In addition they may damage private property, be reSpon- sble for forest fires, etc. Such gentry has no right to use gun or rod. Rid the sport world of such and there will be more chance of CO., operation between the farmer and sportsman.
