LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Mar. 5
(ANP)-The financial report of
DIR. A. S. jackson, financial secre-
tary of the AME church, at the bis
hops council meeting here recently
indicated that approximately $780,
900 of the church's Dollar Money
fund had been raised by churches
in the United States, and that the
amount was expected to be topped
when reports of African, South
American and West Indian confer

FATALLY INJURED IN
AUTOMOBILE MlSHAP

KINSTON, Dec. a. -(Pe Posi-
tive identification of a 35-year-old
man killed by an automobile here
Monday was made Tuesday by his
nephew and friends, who said it
was Cyrus Padgett of the Jackson
ville-Verona area of Onslow coun-
ty.
First reports Monday stated rel
atives of Ed Jones of the Hargett' S
store community, believed he was
the victim, but Jones was found
at his home.
Identification was difficult, in
vestigating highway patrolmen
said, because the mar carried no
papers to aid in establishing his
identity.
Martin King, Kinston policeman,
identified Padgett as his nephew
and this was substantiated by
friends of the dead man.

RESERVE SHIPS
TO SEE SERVICE
Government Placing Yes
sells From Storage Basin
Into Foreign Duty

The return to active service of
two Liberty ships stationed at the
Brunswick river storage basin was
announced in Wilmington yester-
day aimed speculation that several
more would be recommissioned in
order to ship needed commodities
to Foreign ports.
A representative of the Wood
Towing company of Norfolk, Va,
disclosed that the craft would be
sent to Charleston for commission
ing as soon as crews arrive from
the Norfolk operating base.
The transports will Join approx
mately $50 others from storage
basins in other parts of the country
in moving goods scheduled for
foreign delivery. 1t is expected
that as soon as the assignment is
completed these ships will be with.
drawn from this service and re-
turned to the reserve fleet.
In Washington, a spokesman for
the Maritime commission denied a
report that the movement of re-
serve vessels into lay-up points
was being suspended.
Rather, he said. Captain Con-
way of the commission has been
asked by President Truman to
provide necessary vessels to expe-
dite the shipment of grain and
coal to overseas ports.
During the month ending Dec.
Is. a total of SO ships were with
drawn from basins throughout the
country and Reconnaissance. Dur
ing this period, 121 ships were
moved into the storage points. AS
of the same date. there were 1,742
in the basins. During the same
month, 81 vessels we're moved into
the sanctuary mere and one was
taken out to give it a total OF
81 on hand. The ship Withdrawn
was of the Liberty type for sale
to a foreign government.

Among the many causes of

LAKE PROGRAM FIRST

H. A. Rider, conservation COM
missioner, told press representa-
tiVes recently that Ohio'S lake
building was first on the agenda
of New Years activities and that
the Ohio Division of Conservation
wiuld spare no effort in carrying
its plans through to completion.
Three recreational lakes financ-
ed by general revenue, are schedul-
ed TO be built this year and seven
headWater lakes for which fishing
license funds are earmarked also
are on the list for completion as
rapidly as manpower and mater
ials problems will permit.
The lakes will provide more than
5000 additional acres of water to
Ohio's total of $4,000 acres of in
land waters, and will add thousands
of acres of recreational parks anC
hunting areas to the states already
extensive park system. A minimum
of 300 feet of land about the shore
lines of the new lakes is assured
by policy of the Ohio Conservation
Commission. The minimum, how.

with above-normal rainfall occur
ing during the remaining season
Q944). These conditions were fur
ther aggravated in 1945 by unus-
ually cool weather during May and
June following the warmest March
and early April in 100 years or
more. The cool weather did not
materially retard the growth of le-
gumes, however, and this may have
caused later nesting attempts with
consequent high losses of hen
pheaSantS and nests due to moving
machine accidents. One farmer,
for example, reported the destruc-
ton of 90 pheasant nests while
moving 90 acres of alfalfa.
The current pheasant shortage
is not peculiar to Ohio. Surround
ing states, notably Michigan, have
also experienced marked decline
from past high population levels.
Explanations for the decline have
been many and varied. The popu-
lar explanation is that foxes are
the chief cause. Farmers living in
Northwestern Ohio where foxes are
observed, however, have expressed
the opinion that the severe wealth
er which prevailed last winter in
combination with several poor
nesting seasons are the most inn
portant causes.

SEEN AFTER GOOD NESTING SEASON

the field and when only meager
supply of ammunition was avail
able. There is good reason to be-
lieve that hunting had little effect
on the decline in pheasant num-
berS."
There were important changes
in farming practises which affect
ed wildlife during the war years,
the report revealed. Among these
were: a decrease in winter food
and cover due to ID percent de-
cline in corn acreage; a 9 percent
in nesting cover provided by small
grain, meadow and rotation pas
ture and a 95 percent increase in
the acreage of soybeans.
THE increase in soybean acre
age indicates a substantial gain in
the area of grain crops used by
pheasants," Dambach stated. This
gain is largely mullified, however,
following avora bic harvesting
seasons since combine harvested
soybean fields afford little effec-
tive cover"
Many farmers in the pheasant
belt believe that the remarkably
severe winter of 1944-45 had dis
aSterouS effects on pheasants,
quail, cottontail rabbits and other
animals. A Sandusky county farm
er reported that roads in the vicin-
ity of his farm were snow blocked
for 10 consecutive weeks. During
this time he noted that pheaSants
which customarily fed in the field
of shocked corn near his home
were unable to reach the food be-
cause of their inability to travel on
the deep snow.
Dambach expressed the belief
that an apparent decline in the
number of hen pheasants was one
of the most disturbing outcomes
of the census. Only Al percent of
the pheaSants observed in the CEN
sus this year were hens as compar-
ed to 51.2 percent hens in 1941,
Added to the reduction in hens
were unsatisfactory nesting condi-
tionS when heavy and frequent
rains persisted in 1943 and 1945

A quick recovery of the pheaS-
ant population will be possible fol-
lowing a favorable nesting season
and a return to prewar farming
methods, it was revealed recently
in a report by Charles Dambach
from the Ohio Wildlife Research
Station who conducted a pre-
season survey of the game Situa-
ton in Ohio for the Ohio Division
of Conservation and Natural Re-
sources.
In citing the scarcity of pheas-
ants in six northwestern counties
in which the survey was conducted,
Dambach said that meager data,
collected by very limited manpow-
er revealed that the pheasant popu-
lation is at least one fourth less
this year than it was during the
peak seasons prior to the war. He
said that the most serious reduc-
tions were noted in Hancock, Wood
and Hardin counties in the heart of
the pheasant belt.
1T is of particular interest to
note," Mr.. Dambach reported,
that the decline in pheasant a.
bundance occurred during the per-
iod when fewer hunters were in

WORMS BEST FOR FISH BAIT

More than half of all fish caught
at Lake Alma in 1945 were taken
on weed worms. The fish manage
'ment section of the Ohio Division
of Conservation is completing rec
ordS of the creel census taken at
the lake last summer which reveal
ed this fact as well as other inter-
esting ones.
The two largest black bass
caught each measured 20 1/2 inches
in length but one weighed three
pounds, eight ounces, the other
four pounds, seven ounces.
Two of the largest bluegills
caught measured 9 1/2 inches each
but one weighed 10 ounces and the
other II 1/2 ounces.
Two-thirds of all blue-gills were
caught in the months of July and
August indicating that Lake Alma
is one of the better hot-weather
fishing lakes in Ohio.
Nine out of every ten fishermen
who used worms (worms cut out
of the hollow stalks of horse weeds
and other pithy-stemmed plants)
caught fish.
Artificial flies were near the bot
tom as effective lures with only 4

HELP NEEDED TO
RESTORE PHEASANTS

Utmost cooperation between
landowners, hunters and game Of
ficials is needed to restore Ohio's
pheasant population to its peak,
Conservation Commissioner II. A.
Rider said this week in reviewing
The recommendations set up by the
Game Management Section of the
Ohio Division and Natural Re-
sources.
A. w. Short, chief of the game
management section, recommend
ed that the Division continue and
enlarge its facilities for artificial
propagation of pheasants for dis.
tribution when and where needed
He said that the field men of the
Division should continue their pro-
grams of food, cover and water de-
velopment to provide the required
habitat for the birds and that ade-
quate law enforcement was needed
to prevent overshooting and to in
sure a sensible harvest of game so
that adequate brood stock would
be left to produce the next years
game crop.
Commissioner Rider emphasiz-
ed the fact that hunters and land
owners can play a most important
part in maintaining a good game

REFUGEES STUDIED

District conservation supervisors
are being questioned about plans
to restore Ohio's system of pleas
ant refugees as a part of the pro-
gram to restore this popular game
bird to its abundance of three
years ago. At that time pheasantS
had become so numerous that
many refuge areas were abandon
ed at the suggestion of farmers in
the better pheasant counties where
some crop damage by the birds
had occurred.
Now that the crop of
ring-neckS has reached an all-time
low in the state many farmers and
sportsmen believe that preserves
and refugees should be reestabliSh-
ed to bring the birds back. The re-
fuges provide an opportunity for
game protectors to maintain pro-
per food, cover and protection to
insure better carry-over of brood
stock through the winters.

BAIT is ABUNDANT
WHERE SEEMING HEAVIEST

Live bait is abundant in streams
where heaviest seining occurs, DR..
T. Fl. LangloiS stated in letter
this week to farmer and sports
men Representatives in the seven
conservation districts of Ohio. An
explanation of the bait situation
was given by Dr. Langlois at the
request of the Ohio Conservation
Commission who took no action
at its last meeting on scattered
requests that a ban be placed on
the taking Of live bait by CONNER
cial bait dealers.
Information gathered sin C e
1880 when this problem first SEEM
ed acute indicated that bait deal
ers take between five and six mill
lion minnows each year from Ohio
streams" DR.. Langlois stated.
"The great majority of these were
taken from streams in counties adj
joining the larger State reservoirs.
These streams flow through flat,
fertile lands and are exceedingly
productive of minnowS."
Streams in the vicinities of the
new Muskingum ConServancy Dis
trict lakes are not highly product
i've of minnows, DR.. Langlois said,
but private propagators in this
area have been successful in rails
ing minnows in ponds and will
soon be able to produce the bait
needed by fisherman.
To shut off the supply of min
nows by putting a ban on bait
dealers at this time would hinder
|.the development and use of many
new fishing areas and avert the
development of the bait propaga-
ton business by private enterprise,
DR., Langlois stated.

CONSERVATION PROGRAM
READY FOR FUTURE

With the discharge of its train
ed personnel from the Armed
Forces and the loosening up of
building materials the Ohio Divis-
ion of Conservation and Natural
Resources is preparing to set in
motion the most expansive conSer-
vation program in the States his |
tory.
Cooperation of the Ohio Division
of Forestry, the u. S. Soil ConSer-
vation Service, the Water ReSourc-
es Board and other conservation
agencies is assured. Farm groups,
civic clubs, youth organizations
and Sportsmen have endorsed the
basic principles of the program
which is to give Ohio more lakes,
better streams, more extensive
forests and aid to the farmers in
preserving their lands, building
farm ponds, and providing the
basic requirments of fish and wild
life.
The building of three great rec
reational lakes from general rev.
enue funds already appropriated
and available for the purpose, and
the construction of seven head
water lakes from fishermen's Ii
! cense funds is the most imposing
feature of the program for the bal
ance of 1945 and 1916. The survey
ing of sites and the acquisition
of land is nearing completion and
construction is scheduled to begin
at these lakes within the next two
, months. Altogether, the ten lakes
now planned will add more than
| five thousand acres of water to
| the $1,000 acres now available for
public fishing and recreation in O.
hio. Thousands of acres of land a.
bout the shores of the lakes will
provide public hunting on areas
in which game management pro-
grams will be carried out.
Second in the list of important
projects for the coming year is
stream improvement. Surveys and
plans have been completed in the
, drainage area of Milestone Creek
! where cooperation of the u. S. Soil
Conservation Service and the O.
hio Division of Forestry will in
sure the development of the area
as a "conservancy district" before
improvement of the stream banks
and the building of small dams and
headwater lakes begins. The Whet-
stone Creek project is expected to
serve as a guide and demonstration
for other such small conServan-
cies to be extended to streams in
other sections of the state.
Rounding out the program are
plans for the purchase and use of
surplus war machinery to speed up
the construction of farm ponds;
the preparation of portable display
cases which can be exhibited at
state fairs and in store windows to
inform the public of Ohio'S conser-
walton program; the preparation
of map showing the intersections
of highways and streams; the de-
velopment of wild goose sanctu-
ary at Rest Haven Wildlife Ref
uge in Erie County; study of ma
tive and migratory waterfowl in
Ohio; and host of game manage
ment and fish distribution projects
designed to increase and perpetu-
ate the sport of rod and gun.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, March 28-(P)-Be-
lief that the Senate may approve
the Pace bill as an amendment
to the minimum wage bill inspired
a sharp rally in the cotton futures
market in late dealings Thursday.
Mill and outside buying rallied the
market $1.35 to $1.95 a bale as
offerings proved scarce.
All deliveries made new season
al highs and the highest prices for
futures in % years. Trade quar-
tiers estimated the Pace measure,
which would include farm labor
costs in the parity formula, would
raise cotton parity to around 30
cents a pound against 1855 cents
currently for 15-16-inch middling
cotton.
Futures prices approached 27 IL
cents a pound, which led some
quarters to believe that issuance OF
the pending government directive
raising trading margins will be
fastened.
Cotton futures closed $l.35 to
1.85 a bale higher.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 28-P)-Most
OF the grain futures trading Thurs
day was done by the professionals
with only a moderate volume OF
commission house participation
and prices of all deliveries not at
ceilings were nudged forward.
Wheat and corn remained at cell
ings of $7.83 IL and $1.21 IL. Oats
were unchanged to l cent higher
than yesterdays close, May 83-cent
ceiling; rye unchanged to 2 IA up,
May $2.19 1920; barley I'M
changed to Lucent advanced, May

With the oft-defeated Pace bill
up again for debate in the Senate,
this time as an amendment to the
minimum wage bill, traders paid
close attention to their news ticker
for the remarks of Senator Elmer
Thomas O-Okla) who spoke in
support of the measure.
Meanwhile, the latest rumor was
that a government incentive pay
ment direct to producers might be
authorized without disturbing pres
ent ceiling prices. The purpose Of
such a payment, it was understood,
would be as an inducement 10
farmers to sell surplus stocks OF
grain to the government for ex-
port.
