ARlklD
By Ted KestMg

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 al
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 administra-
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 r 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 removal 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 w 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 and
fishing groups, that it have an ade-
quate enforcement staff, adequate
personnel to make accurate inven-
tory of game stocks each season
and trained research men to work

WHO SIDES WITH GOD
Social People

It seems clear to me that God

as He has given the bees the honey:
and as our social system could not
subsist without the sense Of justice
and injustice, He has given us the
power to acquire that sense.

Zedekiah, a the story reveals, held
Ebed-melech in high esteem. He
was, obviously, a most honorable
a How he had come to know
jeremiah, and to esteem him so
highly, is a subject for profitable
contemplation. The devotional read
ing, Matthew 25:31-48, offers final
opinion on the value Of Ebed-me-
lech's ministry to jeremiah. The
golden text, "As we have therefore
opportunity, let us do good unto all
men," Galatians $40.
JEREMIAH'S FRIEND
II BED-MELECH was Jeremiah's
II friend. When he saw what the
princes had done to Jeremiah, he
went to the king and begged him to
allow him to draw Jeremiah out
of the mire in the dark dungeon. He
know that jeremiah would soon die
in this awful place, and Ebed-me-
lech risked his life in making the
request to rescue jeremiah. The
wonder is that the princes had not
ordered Ebed-melech slain. Evil
IDENTIFY, they recognized the hand of
God.
Like as this Negro servant In the
long ago served God by rendering
kindness to a man of another race,
so may we today serve God and
civilization by good will and kindly
service to all races.
FREEDOM THROUGH A SLAVE
THE story of Ebed-melech's kind
l. ness to Jeremiah lifts to en-
nobling example the act of a slave
on behalf of freedom. The worlds
benefactors are those who under
stand freedom, and cast themselves
In utter self-forgetfulness into the
struggle for right against wrong.
What had jeremiah done to re-
ceive such harsh treatment? He had
delivered Gods message to the peo-
pie of Jerusalem, warning them
that the city would be taken by ~
Chaldeans, and how they might es-
cape destruction. jeremiah was
proclaiming freedom-not always a
popular course. For this effort to
help the people, he was thrown into
the muddy dungeon. This servant
of the king was the only man In
Jerusalem who understood the pur-
pose of Jeremiah.

A INDEED

n
RANTED permission from the
NJ king to rescue jeremiah, Ebed-
melech devised prompt methods Of
letting down old pieces of rope and
rags, telling jeremiah how to fasten
them under his arms, and with the
aid of thirty men drew him up from
the mire, and brought him into the
court of the prison.
And then God spoke words of
great reward to jeremiah on behalf
of Ebed-melech. "But l will deliver
thee in that day, saith the Lord;
and thou shalt not be given into the
hand Of the men of whom thou art
afraid. For ! will surely deliver
thee, and thou shalt not fall by the
sword, but thy life shall be for a
prey unto thee. because thou hast
| put thy trust in me, saith the Lord"

E~BED-MELECH'S noble ministry
II to Jeremiah lifts up a banner
for every true follower OF the Lord.
Who sides with God must always
win. That is the lesson Of the les
son. We should have known
about this Negro, had he not cast
his ell on the side Of God.

Damage by Pecan Larvae

Pecan nut casebearer tAcrobasis
caryae (Grote) } is sometimes a Ii
hitting factor in the production of Pc
cans in certain areas in the South
eastern states. Most of the injury is
caused by the first-generation larvae,
which attack the newly set nuts. A
single larva may destroy an entire
nut cluster. The individual nuts that
have been attacked can be recognized
by the characteristic borings, or
frass, that are cast out by the lar
vac. The damage is most evident
when pecan trees set a light nut crop
but may also be severe in heavy crop
years. In exceptionally heavy crop
years the damage may be more than
offset by a beneficial thinning effect
due to the destruction of a portion of
the nuts.
