By Ted Kssting

What's wrong with wildlife ad.
ministration of our states?
It's politics you say. An no less
authority than DR.. Ira N. Gabriel
son. former director of the u. S
Fish and Wildlife Service, agrees
with you. He places politics" a,
the head of the list of chief defects
in current state game administra-
tons.
In more than half the states the
wildlife department and its funds are
at the mercy of partisan and per-
sonal politics. A good wildlife pro-
gram requires continuity of effort
and personnel to have a chance to
succeed. 1t is not likely to have
either under the kind of political
administration that still prevails in
over half the country.
The second most potent factor
contributing to poor game manage
ment is sportmen's pressure. Sports
mems groups are too often ignorant,
even if they are enthusiastic. BY
organizing pressure to secure un-
wise privileges and to cause the
adoption of unsound programs. they
have been responsible for an appall-
ing waste of conservation funds and
effort.
Third most important factor in
producing poor game adlninistra-
ton is lack of adequate authority
to manage the wildlife harvest.
Every state game department needs
the authority to open and close sea-
sons. to control bag limits, and to
make such other regulations as are
necessary to limit the harvest taken
each year.
There are many other factors that
contribute to poor wildlife manage
ment, but these are the three most
important. What's the solution? DR..
Gabrielson sees only one answer:
Interested sportsmen must become
so thoroughly organized that they
can force the removala of these
handicaps.
Sportsmen's groups, sufficiently
aroused, have demonstrated many
times that they can secure sound
legislation on which a good program
can be built. They can do the great
est service to their own interests
of America by insisting that their
state conservation department be
free from partian and personal
political interference, that it have
adequate authority, that it resist ig
norant pressures from hunting anc
fishing groups, that it have an ade.
quate enforcement staff, adequate
personnel to make accurate inven
tory of game stocks each season

CONSERVATION NOTES

Every farmer who has cattle
should plant winter grazing crops.
Oats, well fertilized, is one of the
best crops to plant. To plant these
crops right, the land should be pre-
pared now. Some farmers in the
county made net profit last year
of $50 to 500 per acre on winter
grazing.
B. E. Presley and B. H. Maxwell
of Pickens are preparing their land.
w. j. Waits and Sam D. Hall of
Goodman also are preparing land.
Mr.. Maxwell states he has obtained
more and better grazing in the past
when he applies plenty of phos-
phate and nitrogen to the oats.
For best results 500 to 800 pounds
of 20qo phosphate should be applied
per acre. or 800 to 400 pounds of
45qs phosphate. If basic Stag is ap-
piled, use 1000 to 1900 pounds per
acre. The fertilizer should be disk
ed in and the land broken four to
six inches deep. Also 40 to 60
pounds of pure nitrogen should be
applied per acre. If nitrate soda is
used, apply 800 to 400 pounds per
acre. If double strength is used APP
ply $50 to 200 pounds per acre. The
nitrogen may be applied at the
time of planting or used as tor
dressing soon after the oats come
up.
Anhydrous ammonia has proven
to be as good as any of the nitro
gems when properly applied and is
much cheaper If it is used it should
be applied few days before the
oats are planted. T. E. Murtagh Of
Ebenezer is equipped to apply the
anhydrous and will apply it for the
public. 1t is important to have the
land well broken and pulverizec
when using this kind Of nitrogen.
From three to five bushels Of oat.
should be planted per acre. II thu
oats are not to be harvested, a win
ter legume should be seeded will
the oats. Wild winter peas and Grim
son clover have given good grazing
seeded with oats. Seed IS to q
pounds of peas and 10 to IS pounds
of crimson clover per acre.
It will cost around SIS to proper
ly fertilize and seed an acre OF win
ter grazing. However, it is a goot

The annual Farm and Home
Week at State College was held last
week. More than 1900 farm men
and women saw the exhibits, went
on the tours of the campus and
farms, heard the outstanding speak
ers, and still had time to visit with
friends and play little.
The exhibits arranged by manu-
facturers and agricultural service
agencies drew crowds every day.
On display were the latest farm
machines and home equipment. The
educational booths told the story of
, one-variety cotton, the Importance
Of forestry, poultry and other agri-
cultural enterprises in Mississippi.
The handicraft booth, arranged by
home demonstration club women,
featured hand-hooked, floral rugs,
etched metal in copper and alumni
mum, quilts and other such article.
The three feature speakers were
John Temple Graves. of Birming-
ham; Allan Kline, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation;
and Clayton Rand, editor, Gulfport.
Mr.. Graves expressed the hope
that eff any group has to rule
America" it would be the farmers.
He believes the farmers, the most
right thinking group in America. and
most free from the European dis
ease of leftism.
''The farmer loves his land and
home, and when he is prosperous,
he is the bulwark of true American
ism," Mr.. Graves said. But if hard
times should afflict him, Stain, Wal
lace and Williams are expecting to
establish Communism in this coun-
try under the guide of farm relief"

Arabs.
The terms of the truce proposed
by the British last week were
amended by Warren r. Austin
chief American delegate in the
U. NJ, by the introduction OF a
clause permitting immigration into
Palestine OF Jewish men of all ages
including those capable of bearing
arms, provided that they are not
incorporated into the Israeli mill
tary organization.
See New Hagana Forces.
The Arabs opposed this on the
ground that there are now IN the
Cyprus internment camps some 5000
trained fighting men, who If allowed
to reach the Holy Land would in
crease substantially Hagana's fight
ing power if the truce is not foi-
lowed by a permanent agreement.
The Arabs also maintain that
arms could reach the ISraelis from
various Mediterranean ports, where
shiploads of equipment, purchased
III the western countries, are ready
to sail for Palestine.
The integrity and impartiality OF
Count Folke Bernadotte and his
staff of advisers, who are expected
to be Allied military men, assures

would disclose his real intent.
