Campbell Visiting
New Mexico

General Thomas D. Campbell,
president of Campbell Farming
Corporation, arrived in Hardin
Monday from New Mexico to
spend a few days at the Camp
bell ranch here.
Campbell said fall seeding of
wheat at Hardin is complete
and much of the wheat is up,
making good prospects for the
next years crop. The condition
is an improvement over last
fall, he said, when, due to dry
weather, the winter wheat fall
ed to sprout in the fall.
General Campbell recently re-
turned from a trip to Washing
ton, D. c., and New York, and
that crops over the
country look good. He commen-
ted that he expects no drop in
the wheat price, and said that
the Campbell Corporation will
not sell any wheat at the pres
emit time.
General Campbell does not
consider the wheat acreage al
lotment cut serious.

Ripping
OF the Rivers

About this time every year
the situation arises-some far
mers and ranchers begin post
ing their places with "No
Hunting, No Trespassing" signs,
and some hunters and sports
man begin crying because so
many ideal hunting grounds are
put out of their disposal.
The posting of many farms
and ranches seems unjust to
the careful and sportsman-like
hunter, but our sympathies are
with the rancherS and farmers.
We've heard too many stories
of valuable cattle, horses and
poultry being killed during
hunting season. One ranch we
heard of lost a total of II tame
ducks and had cattle shot, all
in one season.
We believe the damage is
done by a small percentage OF
careless, thoughtless hunters,
but property owners can i'll af-
ford to permit any hunters on
their premises while taking a
chance on drawing one of these
"brainleSs blaSters."
Most ranch and farm owners
would not object to hunters who
are hunters. They object to
that class that MIGHT be re-
fered to only as KILLERS" Post
ing their land is their only
alternative in safeguarding their
property
