SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Japs Gird

In an effort to further delay the
u. S. drive westward to the heart
of the japanese empire, the enemy
dispatched increasing air strength
to the South Pacific area, with
particular increases noted in the
Marshall Islands.
With the Gilberts in our hands,
and Allied eyes cast northward to
the strategic Marshalls, U. S. Lib
orator bombers initiated a heavy
bombing campaign against the lat
ter islands, to soften up their de-
fenses. AT the same time, U. S.
fliers continued assaulting the big
enemy supply center of Rabaul, on
New Britain.
AS U. S. bombers droned over
these detectives to drop tons of
explosives, the Japs sent up strong
waves of fighter planes to dis
rupt the attacks. Further, strings
of conveys were observed bring
ing up reinforcements for strength
ening defenses.

RUSSIA:
Baltic Push

Even as the Nazis repeatedly
were organizing 250,0O0 Estoni-
ans, Latvians and Lithuanians for
military service, the Red army
pushed toward the borders of
these tiny Baltic states.
AS the Russians reported that
the Nazis were shutting troops
from the Ukraine to the north
to meet the Reds latest drive, ac-
tion on the 1,200-mile front as
sumed the shape of game of
military chess. Previously, Nazi
pressure on Russian lines before
Kiev had drawn Red reinforce
ments to that area.
Threatened by the Reds surge
in the north were the rail lines
supplying Nazi forces in the Len
ingrad region. Severance of these
lines would cut off essential Ger
man communications, forcin g
them to rely wholly upon their
Baltic sea routes, and a drive to
the shores of these waters would
make the Nazis' positions almost
untenable.

Pheasant
Crop Is
Below Norma

EAST LANSING, Dec. 27-For
the first time in five years the
pheasant crop at the conservation
departments Rose Lake wildlife
experiment station in Ingham
county was below the normal of
approximately 10 cocks per hun
dred acres, Durward L. Allen
biologist in charge of the station,
has announced.
This year hunters bagged only
6.8 cocks per hundred acres, five
less than the 1912 take of lib
birds per hundred acres.
A normal crop provides a pre-
hunting bird population of ap-
proximately Ia cocks and 10 hens,
conservation field men estimate,
but this year it was probably only
about 9 cocks and 10 hens.
Studies at the station show that
with existing cover conditions
between 60 and 100 hunting hours
per hundred acres will harvest the
available pheasant crop but that
two or three times that amount of
hunting will make the kill very
little higher. Conservation field
men believe that pheasants become
"cagey" when hunting pressure is
heavy and are more difficult to
kill. The usual age ration among
cocks shot at Rose Lake is ap-
proximately l old bird to 10 birds
of the year. This years age ratio
was l "old timer" to 3 young.
Very heavy hunting at Rose
Lake has indicated that it is al
most impossible to "shoot out"
cock pheasants in the present open
season and that there is very lit
tie danger of having too few cocks
left for breeding.

9 Gdme Laws
Unchanged
For 1914

COLUM BUS, o., Dec. 2l-No
changes were made in the seasons,
bag limits or legal lengths for the
1914 fishing season, under tenta-
tive fishing regulations announced
today by the Ohio Conservation
and Natural Resources Commits
sion.
The Commission held its Decem-
Der meeting in connection with the
annual public hearing on fishing
regulations which was held Thurs
day and adopted tentative regu-
lations after having conferred
with members of the State Con-
servation Advisory Council, which
is made up Of IA sportsmen and
farmer representatives from the
seven Ohio conservation districts.
Opinion was rather equally di-
vided at the hearing on the aban-
donment of a closed season on
black bass during the spawing
season but the Commission decided
to make no changes in the black
bass regulations.
Bag Limit
A bag limit of 20 with a posses
sion limit Of 40 after the first day
was placed upon frogs. The regu-
lation on turtles was unchanged.
Under the tentative regulations
the use Of rowboats and canoes on
jefferson Lake in Jefferson coun-
ty will be permitted. This request
was made by members of the Adj
visory Council from that district.
The same dates and boundaries
will be used for the closed sea-
son on black bass, splitting the
state into two areas again this
year with an earlier closing date
in Southern Ohio. The Commits
sion decided that while weather
conditions were not as contem-
plated last year that the split sea-
son should be given another trial
again this year as, in most years,
climatic conditions are such in
Southern Ohio as to result in an
earlier spawning season for black
bass.
The black bas closed season will
be from April Is to May 81 in
the Southern Zone and from May
| to June Is in the Northern Zone,
while the colsed season in the Lake
Erie Fishing District will be from
May 25 to June 80. The trout sea-
son was established the same as
for the past year, opening the
season on April Is.
Here are the tentative regula-
tions on all species of fish (All
dates inclusive).
No Closed Season
No closed season on any of
above species except trout and
black bass. Trout, closed Septem-

winter wheat seeding, indicated
production for 1914 was set at $780,
957, 900 bushels, or 2,649,OOO BUSH
els less than 1943. Because rye IS
not considered war crop, many
farmers reduced paintings.
Because dry weather hampered
seeding and continued to prevail
after planting, as much as 2l.9 per
cent of the winter wheat crop may
be abandoned and lower acreage
yields may result. Only the eastern
sector of the corn belt has been fa-
vored with good weather, but the
