AMERICAN GAME TAKES
OVER DUPONT STAFF

III Ofuef TO strengthen and better
cOr-Ordinate the conservation move
mont, the American Game Associa-
tiOn took over the trained cOnserva-
tion field force of the e. l. dupont
deNemOurs & Co., Inc, of Whining
ton, Delaware, on January 1, 1882
according to announcement made
public by officials of the Associa-
tion.
Officials of both the Association
and the dupont Company feel that
such a field force can operate more
effectively under a nOn-proft organ
izatiOn, it was said. The field force,
maintained by the DUPONT Company
for the last four years, is to operate
directly under the supervision of
Seth Gordon, president of the AS
sOciation.
Among the Objectives of this field
service will be to aid in establish
ing sound state, county and local
game restoration and production pro-
grams; to develop local demonstra-
ton projects and to keep them Op-
Grating smoothly; to help establish
ed local educational institutions pro-
vide special training courses to de-
velOp game experts and to establish
fellowships at such institutions; to
develop and promote local and ma
tional information services; to keep
in close touch with game conditions
throughout the country so as best
to serve the interests of the sports
men, landowners and general pub
lie; and to cooperate with all agen-
cies and organizations working to-
ward the objective of providing more
game for everybody.
"This step means not only a bet
ter coordination of wild life con-
activities, but will also en-
able the American Game Association
to render Il service to the cause,
which, due to insufficient field con-
facts, has not been possible hereto
fore, Mr.. Gordon said in explaining
the enlarged scope of the Associa-
tiOn's objectives.
The field force is to continue to
operate under the same principles
as enunciated in the DUPONT wild
life policy. These, as quoted by the
dupont Company are to bring all
factors into productive relationship
with each other; to aid in bringing
the most promising theories to the
test of experience and let the public
decide for ITSELF to search out bio
logical facts for both game and fish
and to assist in making
these facts known; to promote re-
search for other facts needed, and
20 Help in training men to apply

Expert Gives Advice On
Care Of POtted Plants
During All Seasons.
By G. J. RALEIGH

Regardless of how scrupulously
clean the home may be kept, there
is an enormous amount of fine dirt
particles in the air. In this dust
often there are chemicals which are
injurious to plants. The fine dust
particles may also interfere with
the ready passage of air from the
outside to the spongy tissues of the
leaf. Both of these conditions are
harmful to the plant
House plants should be given a
bath in soapy water at approx
mately three-week intervals. You
can do this by using some form of
a small spray, or with some plants,
a rag will be satisfactory. After the
bath the plants should be rinsed
with clear water to remove all
traces of the soap.
Along with cleanliness of surface
of leaves of house plants goes a
relatively pure air. House plants
will not thrive in a room that con-
tains small quantities of illuminat-
ing gas. Keep the plants removed
as far as possible from the gas
range and from open windows ex-
posed to the heavy smoke from
neighbors' chimneys.
Other important factors in obtain
ing excellent results with house
plants are; feeding with complete
plant food, humidfying dry air and
adequate sunlight.

Rat-PrOOfing The Farm

Man has resOrted to many devices
to control rats-trapping, snaring.
trailing, flooding, digging, hunting,
ferreting, poisoning, and the use of
fumigants, lines, lures. repelleuts,
and bacterial viruses-but there are
probably just as many rats in the
world as ever. The only permanent
solution of the rat problem, says the
Biological Survey of the II. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. is rat
prOofing, which means not only eY-
eluding rats from buildings but also
eliminating their hiding ana nesting
PLACES and cutting OFF lhcir fond
srTIly. The Use of concrete oI
masonry is the best aid in eXcludine

GFtiCns of farm buildings should be

more above. Keep the farm free of
laces where rats breed. These are
usually beneath wooden floors set
to rear the ground; in piles "f
lumber or refuse; in straw, hay,
and manure piles; beneath con-
crete floors without curtain walls;
and inside double walls Of buildings.
Burn trash as often as possible and
keep garbage in a tightly covered
can. Store lumber and similar ma
terial on a platform Is inches ~
more off the ground. Rats breed
and take refuge only in places near

WHAT CAUSES MOST
HUNTING ACCIDENTS,
GAME WARDENS ASK

Has the type of gun used anything
to do with the number of hunting
accidents, or is carelessness the
chief factor in all cases?
In reports issued almost simultG-
neOusly, game officials of Pennsyl.
vania and New Jersey have disa-
greed on the question of whether
high-pOwered rifles are more dang
erOus than shOtguns in hunting
deer, a bulletin of the American
Game Association states.
New Jersey, the only state which
has outlawed the rifle in deer shoot
ing, gave this law most of the cred
it for keeping its accident toll dur
ing the recent deer season down to
one death and four casualties.
Pennsylvania, where the srille is
the legal weapon for taking big
game, blamed its SO fatal and 50
non-fatal accidents during the deer
season on carelessness. officials de-
Tended the rifle as being not only
the best big game weapon from the
animals viewpoint, since fewer
wounded deer escape to die slowly
but equally as safe.
Ohicials pointed out that New Jer-
sey's season lasted only four days,
and its total legal kill of 1,702 deer
was So times smaller than the legal
kill in Pennsylvania. The number of
hunters was said to be proportion
ately smaller.
After survey of this seasons
accident toll and that of other
years, Charles G. Stone, executive
secretary of the Pennsylvania Game
Commission, announced his conclu-
sion that it is not the type of fire
arm so much as the careless hand !
ling of them which caused accidents. !
He said that according to figures J
the longer shooting range of rifles |
has not been responsible for any
casualty. The majority of injuries |
have been self-inflicted or inflicted /
upon companions, as a result of
carelessness.
= While the complete record of all |
accidents in Pennsylvania
has not been tabulated, Mr. Stone
said that usually small game hunt
ing, with shOtguns, accounts for six
times as many accidents as big
game hunting in that state. Shoot
ing person in mistake for game is
by fine and suspension Of
license.

TURKEY INDUSTRY
NEEDS KNOWLEDGE
Scant Data On Intricacies OF Rear
ing and Marketing BehOOYeS
Research
-Rv q. V. l.. Tnrncr

There is much work ahead for the
several State experiment stations in
the collection of data and proof of
practices in turkey rearing and mar
keting.
Turkey rearing is coming back
with no uncertain speed; the dis
cOvery that the dread blackhead is
no longer a disease to be seriously
reckoned with has put turkey cul-
ture upon simple lines of successful
rearing.
Science has yet to prove how fast
growth can be maintained, after
Matching, and how the birds can be
marketed without loss to the pro-
ducer.
Shade is a moot question insofar
as it affects mortality and growth,
especially during the so-called fat
tening season, just before marketing,
either for Thanksgiving or Christ
mas.
There has been no concerted effort
to create Il year round market; some
turkey growers hatch in late June
and find a profitable market in Feb
ruary Birds early Matched and un-
sold for either one Of the major
holidays, would probably become
STACY, tough and Improbable, be-
cause of the feed cost from April to
February.
Large flocks of turkeys on small
areas seem to be agreed upon as the
correct fattening as well as rearing
method; heated broOder houses now
follow incubator Matching and re-
stricted range is maintained until
the flock is disposed of around
Retail trade is the most profitable
but requires time to build to.
In retailing the producer suffers
no loss from drifting, due to ship
ping; flock owner in Western

birds a distance of four
miles to a collector; when the birds
we're loaded the total net weight
was 1921 pounds. The collector, on
Tested scales, proved a drift" loss
Of forty pounds; the receiving
weight had dropped to 9S1 Opnds, or
nal ia pound for each bird and a loss

what they are given if they have
their own set of dishes and table

France Denies Intention to-

Against U.S
EXTREME NATI0NAllSTS
EXCORIATE STATEMENT
Official Attitude, However, Is That
All interpretations Of Pacts
Must Be Avoided Now.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS. July l6.-The storm raised
abroad by the report of Premier Her
riots statement on the connection of the
post Lausanne accord with Great Brit
ain and American war debts continued
to preoccupy official circles today in
spite of an official announcement yes
terday intended to clarity the situation.
The statement, following by one day
President Hoover's letter to Senator
Borah declaring the United States would
not be influenced on the debt question
by any united front in Europe, en-
phasized that it was far from the in
tention of France to form such front.
Any assertion that the recent Franco
British accord would restrict Great Brit
ain in making new arrangements for
war debt payments to the United States
was palpably absurd, 1t said.
Hoover Letter Criticized.
The principal Paris newspapers care
fully avoided comment on these deyel-
opments today but some OF the extreme
Nationalist organs excoriated the Hoo
yer letter.
Emile Bure. writing in L'Ordre. said
Such an extravaganza would be laugh
able in less catastrophe times"
President Hoover led his country to
ruin" NJ. Bure continued. while pre-
dieting prosperity. Shall We continue
to accept him as a guide?"
Referring to the Hoover letter, Jacques
Bainville, in LAction Francaise. said :;
Thus spake Napoleon, William II
and Zarathustra T.
The upshot of the explanations yes
terday appeared to be that Premier
Herriot considers the Franco-British
accord binds Great Britain to consult
and advise with France before making
any new arrangements for payment OF
its war debts to the United States. but
ooeS not in any way prevent an ,ndi-
vidual agreement.
Herriot Assertion Stands.
The statement which caused the fu-
rore was attributed to Premier Her
riot on Wednesday by the Havas
,FrenchI News Agency, and was con-
sidered semi-official at the time. The
French government issued no denial
that the PREMIER had rade such an as
sertion in reporting the accord to the
Finance Committee of the Chamber of
Deputies.

The theory that some stranger" may

tobacco millionaire, was checked by au-
thorities today.
Sheriff Transou Scott disclosed he
was seeking an unidentified motorist
who inquired the way to Reynolda sew
eral hours before Reynolds fell with a
bullet in his mead July 6.
This, coupled with an unexplained
visit to the s.lerif's office by Albert
Walker. young chum of Reynolds. whose
story cf the fatal night supported a
suicide theory, served to revive interest
in the case
Walker was accompanied by his at
torney. but they did not see the sheriff
who was out. Sheriff Scott has said
he wished to question Walker further.
Although investigs tors leaned toward
the belief the unidentified man was
merely on his way to Reynolda to at
tend a party held there that night.
Sheriff Scott said no clue would be lg-
nored
Reynolds was found by Walker on a
sleeping porch OF the large family
estate. Walker testified he had made
suicide threats.
Mrs. Reynolds. the former Libby Hol-
man of Broadway blues singing fame
supported the suicide theory with the
statement that in brief lucid period
out Of many hours in which she re-
membered nothing else, she saw Smith
place a pistol TO his head and fire.

Gus discrepancies TO be checked in testi-
mony at the inquest. which resulted in
