Great Britain Is
Trying To Prevent
A War In Europe
Germany, However, Offers Hos
tile Attitude Towards England.
Conference Is Held.

London, Aug. 3O.-Great Britain
recalled her ambassador to Berlin
for consultations this week after
Germany was feared to have struck
another blow at Europe's wobbly
pace by her hostile reception OF
British warnings against force.
Disclosure of Sir Neville's return
caused surprise in diplomatic quar-
tiers here, coming on the heels OF
Britain's warning to powerful, re-
armed Germany that it would be
difficult for her to stand aside in the
event of war in Europe.
Sir Neville's report on Germany's
attitude towayd the Czecltoslpvak
dispute will be placed before the
meeting of ministers Tuesday and
it was said the unusual step might
be taken of asking Sir Neville to
attend the meeting.
It was learned that the cabinet
ministers might also discuss pre-
cautionary measures"-presumably
including the disposition of troops
and fleets-in addition to diplomatic
activities.
Matt intentions toward Czecno-
slovakia, sprawled across Europe's
back yard with powerful friends
pledged to take up arms in her de-
tense, was the enigma that diplo-
mats anxiously waited to see an
swered on the eve of what they
agreed would be a Hateful Septem-

Government To Make Parkway
Area Happy Hunting Ground"
Landowners Requested To Co.
! operate In Improving Hunt
ing And Fishing.

\GOAIOI IlOCG. Inc August ISSUE
OF the Parkway News contains the
following interesting story about
the federal governments wildlife
program along the Parkway
Last month we mentioned that
our landscape development would
be of benefit to wildlife and that
we intended to stock some of the
Parkway streams with trout.
Now we are ready with pre-
view of the whole wildlife program,
planned not only to improve con-
ditions on the Parkway, but with
your assistance, to develop the
whole region for better hunting and
fishing.
The Parkway itself will become a
great sanctuary, offering a safe
place for game to breed and feed.
Conveys of quail, instead of being
hunted until the last bird is killed,
will flee to the Park protection so
that seed stock will remain for the
next year. Quail and other birds
not only offer food and sport, but
assists by eating the insects that de-
stroy crops.
It is our hope that the Parkway
will become great breeding ground
and that wildlife will increase to
such an extent that they viii spread
out over the surrounding country
and restore it to it's former glory as
the Happy Hunting Ground" OF
your ancestors and the Indians.
We have a real job ahead, but
our program is actually under way.
Following is a brief outline Of the
work we are undertaking to help
wildlife:
Cd Parkway slopes will be plant
ed to native grasses, shrubs, vines
and trees.
(2) Worn-out and eroded fields
will be restored to pastures or wild
life and game areas. Gulled or
very steep fields will be returned
to forest.
60 In granting permits for pas
lures or agricultural use, we shall
ask you to preserve the old rail fen
ces and to leave uncut the shrubs
and trees necessary to provide food
and cover for wildlife.
az Streams will be improved by
construction of log and boulder
dams, providing brush cover and IN
other ways improving conditions for
fish and game that are dependent
on water.
90 Rearing ponds, fishing ponds,
and lakes will be build and pre-
pared to provide proper conditions
for fish and waterfowl.
(6) Small streams will be stocked
and closed to fishing so that fish
4, may grow safely. AS they grow
they will continually seek larger
streams and ponds and many will
move to the waters outside OF the
Parkway to supply you with better
fishing.
Cd The Parkway and the Parks
will be stocked with birds and 9TH
err game as soon as they are avail
able.
You probably know that some OF
the Parks include as much as g.
600 acres and many portions of, the
Parkway will pass through very
large holdings of the U. S. Forest
Service. These Park areas may be
stocked with deer and wild turkey.
Your Help Is Needed
The above, in brief, is our pro-
gram. We can only work on Park
way lands, but you can do much
to help the wildlife that spreads to
your land by leaving cover along
fences, leaving little uncut grain
along the fences to provide food,
and many other things that will
mean little to your but much to the
wildlife that needs your help.

TERRACING SAVED
NEGRO'S LEAF CROP

Oxfords Aug. 30-Tobacco grown
this on the farm of Willie Cooper,
Granville county Negro, is of good
quality and shows practically no dam
age from heavy rains earlier in the
season, said J. r. Redding, Negro
farm agent of the State College Ex-
tension Service.
Cooper told Redding he gives credit
to a good system of terraces for saw
ing his leaf crop from drowning dur
ing the wet weather.
On nearby fields that were not ter
raced, Redding pointed out, there was
no outlet for water that fell on the
land. On these fields the water stood
for days at a time and so seriously
drowned the tobacco plants that the
yield was lowered and the leaf is of
poor quality.

AAA Cotton Money
To Increase Income
Tar Heel Growers

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. 3d.
The AAA cotton program will add
welcome dollars to the value of the
North Carolina cotton crop this sea-
son, in the opinion of E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive officer at State Col
lege.
Without the control program and
the government loan offered to grow
ers, he said. cotton prices would pro-
badly be five Or six cents a pound at
this time instead of around 83 cents.
A 216.534, OOO-pound crop has been
forecast for North Carolina in 1888
and on basis of S3 cents a pound,
Floyd estimated that the income from
lint sold or placed under loan will
be Sc, 1876, 900 greater than it would if
sold at 5,3 cents.
He also stressed the Importance of
growers participating in the agricul-
tural conservation program to qualify
themselves for the government loan
on their 1888 crop.
The full amount of the loan will be
available only to those cooperating
poundage-quotas.
The loan plan announced by the
AAA also encourages the production
of high quality, longer staple cotton
by providing for higher loansrates on
the better lint. The rate for. 7-8 inch
middling cotton is 1927 pound.
