could be done around here.
I'm fighting Risko again in Madi-

IT'S going to be one of the biggest
thrills OF my life. I expect every
young fighter dreams of the time
when he'll fight in the Garden.
II guess there are some pretty good
middleweights around now, though I
haven't seen enough Of these Eastern
Fellows to know how they shape up.
I'm willing to fight any of them. And
I would like to fight Jimmy McLarnin.
There's a fight that would draw big
money anywhere. If fight McIarnin,
I'm ready to defend my title and
guarantee to make a low weight. I'm
always under the middleweight limit
anyway. There wouldn't be much
weight difference between Jimmy and
me. And how it would draw!"

He has a 75-acre farm at Oxon Hill
which for several years he held open
for hunting. This privilege was so
abused that he had to post it, and in
side of two years rabbits could be
seen bobbing all around the place,
and bob whites made a playground of
the farm.
Adjoining neighbors per-
mitted hunting and his conser-
vation work went for naught,
but he did get few ideas from
his trial.
He suggests that the State lay of
2-mile strips about every 10 miles,
on which no hunting would be per-
mitted. Farmers would do this volun-
tarily, Skinner believes, but If they
wouldn't. then it should be made
mandatory. In this way numerous
refugees would be ablished where
game could breed in safety and would
not be killed off the first season with

Refuge Plans Outlined.

THREE tracts of adjoining land
comprise the area. One tract
contains 1850 acres, another 800 and
a small tract of $50 acres. The
Patuxent River borders them on the
east.
Snowden Hall, an old-time Southern
mansion, once surrounded by thou
sands Of acres Of plantation land, is
located on the refuge. The old man
sion, according to present plans, is
to be reconditioned as a headquar-
ters, and other needed buildings are
to be built. Improvements also are
under way, including boundary ferc-
ing by w. p. A. workers and c. c. c.
improvements on roads and trails.
A detailed biological survey
has been started to obtain basic
information as to numbers and
kinds Of animals on the refuge.
and associated conditions Of
plants, soil and weather.
Quail have been greatly depleted on
the area, but it is believed that under
proper management they will increase.
A marshy area along a creek flowing
into the Patuxent probably will be
developed for waterfowl. The south
eastern end Of the refuge is swampy
and contains plenty of food for bea-
vers, but these animals must be intro
duced. and part Of the small tract is
ideal for deer.

found through research and expert
ment can be applied.
There are many perplexing
problems connected with wild
life. For instance, what has
happened to quail this year?
That's only one of them. The sur
vey will try to find the answer to
that and several others.
The new station has been named the
Patuxent Research Refuge, and is part
Of the National Research Center at
Beltsville, Md. Wild life food and
cover plants now on the refuge are
to be encouraged, and others are to
be planted. About two-thirds of this
sanctuary is covered with pine and
hardwood trees. The refuge also con-
tains marsh lands. river bottoms, old
farm lands, pastures and orchards
