Many Game Laws
Are Introduced
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel


RALEIGH, Jan. ia multi
plicity of bills affecting North
Cardinals game laws are finding
their way into the hopperS OF
both the house and senate, but
many of them pertain only to
several counties. Bills have been
offered in the senate repeating
the resident license tax on hunt
ing and fishing. while another
bin would abolish the office OF
state game warden and transfer
his duties to the department OF
conservation and development.
The bill transferring the game
warden's office to the depart
ment of conservation and de-
yelopment was offered in the
senate by Senator Land. 4 bill
by Senator Patton of Macon,
would require no license for hunt
ing coyotes, wildcats an dtoxes IN
his county, while in another bill
he would pay a bounty for GER
tain kills. Still another bill by
Representative Sullivan of Bun
eombe, would regulate the fees
of the Buncombe county game
warden.
Game law bills have been pour
ing into the hoppers of both
houses at the rate of several each
legislative day, and indications
are that the committees on game
will be as busy reporting out
legislation this year as any other
committees.

RARE PLANTS
IDENTIFIED
Scores, Hitherto Unknown,
Are Now Being
Designated

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. (UP).
Spanish and American scientists
now are identifying scores of
plants, hitherto unknown to Sc
fence, that were collected more
than 100 years ago by a parish
physician in Colombia, the Smith
sonian Institution reports.
Between the years of 1888 and
1908, Dr.. Jose Celestino Nuts
started out to collect and de-
scribe all the flora of the An
dean region north Of the Equa-
tor.
In 1888, after he had outlined
his project, according to the
Smithsonian, Nuts was appoint
ed by King Carlos III of Spain
as "first botanist and astronomer
of the Royal EXPEDITION to Gren-
ada" The king provided Nuts
with ample funds for the work
and he set up at Bogota what
was described as a "great scien-
tific factory" At one time, the
Smithsonian sys, he employed 10
artists working nine hours a day
to paint the plants collected.
But Nuts died in 1903. Dur
ing the Spanish revolution the
material was sent to Spain,
where the boxes were opened in
the presence of the royal family.
The mounted plants and draw
ings were sentsto the Botanical
Garden.
On several occasions, it is point
ed out, attempts were made to
resurrect the collection. How
ever, when Ellsworth P. killip Of
the Smithsonian, visited the
Madrid garden last year both he
and DR.. Arturo Caballarro, di-
rector, were convinced of the
worth of this collection.
Now the work Of identifying
them is in progress. Up to the
present time more than 100 new
species have been discovered.
