BY BISHOP BATES

An animal in nature is func-
tioning part of some stage, of
some 'Biome', and in the wrong
stage, it dies. The biome con-
cept indicates the wisdom of TAX
ing the game crop as soon as pos
sible after the young of the sea-
son natures. Otherwise nature
starts the harvest herself. 1t also
makes us realize that the only
way to increase a desired wild
life species, once we have the
habitat at the stage of the biOmeS
development most favorable to
the species in question, is to en-
courage its feeding organisms.
Finally it indicates that we do
not need to worry about the an
imals that prey on game species
because if we harvest the game
crop soon after it is produced,
these predators must automati-
cally adjust their numbers to fit
the reduced population, or COM
pensate by increasing their pres
sure on unaffected surplus popu-
lations of non-game species
which they normally include
among their prey.
Evolution, or we might say,
natures system of trial and er-
ror, has produced within balance
so perfect that unless men inter
fere, it is apparently impossible
for any member to kill off an
other. Each as we have seen,
lives on and controls the surplus
population of the species it eats.
To the best of knowledge, no
wild predator has ever eXtermin-
ated its prey.

The dark or brighter side A

want to rush to new renoWn

 Stassen made rough tumble fight for the nomination, lost his early stride and fell far short of the goal When the Philadelphia convention closed he seemed to be the forgotten man. Indeed, it was widely contended that he had lost all chance for a future in the Republican party
 In fact, however he made good impression camp as he did the Taft organization Having made his peace with Dewey, and also having delivered one very able speech for the COP candidate at Detroit he now is in comfortable position. He can, and doubtless will play important role in the Dewey campaign.
 If Governor Dewey wins expected, and Stassen winds up in the cabinet, the place which seems most logical for him is the hot spot occupied by James V. Forrestal Secretary of Defense. This unmis takably the most challenging and also the most hausting place in the official family except only the Presidency. It will be the hardest spot to fill when the time comes for constructing Republican ticket.
