Farmer Called |KeyMon' in Increasing
of Quail, Turkey, Other Game

The wild turkey Is coming back
to Virginia. The Whitehall deer
has been restored to Virginia's
mountains. and a long pro-
gram of the State Game Commits
sion aims at greatly increased
wildlife supplies throughout the
State.
Commission officials. who for
many years operated their pro-
gram with an annual fund less
than that used by Richmond to
take care Of garbage. say never
theless that every year there has
been a gradual strengthening OF
the game management set-up.
The State turkey farm in Cum
Fberland County has worked out a
system under which pure wild tur-
key hens are mated with native
gobblers in the wild. I'm the vast
areas Of the State In which tur-
keys have become extinct. wild
brood stocks are being restored by
releasing purebred wild turkeys
raised in captivity" they say.
Quail Studied.
Studies Of quail in Virginia are
giving the commission a better
idea Of how to manage the quail
crop. They found that there is
an average annual loss of AT per
cent Of all the quail which survive
the hunting season. These losses
in late winter and early spring can
be attributed directly to under
nourishment, the officials say.
Increasing wildlife supplies in
Virginia will take help. the officials
say. They point out that "the
farmer is the key man in produc-
ing enough food for game" Dur
ing the past two years privately
owned lands, including over a mil
lion acres have been permanently
improved for game. The commits
sion is making a major education
effort to bring to the farmer
keener realization Of the value of
game"
Help Available
Commission officials say they
are ready to give farmers active
assistance in all matters pertain
ing to the States wildlife. In
addition to furnishing vast guam
titles of slips and seeds of desirable
plants free to those who will use
them, the commission has trained
personnel who will give individual
farmers help.
In habitat improvement, the soil
conservation districts and the
game commission, cooperate.
Habitat improvement for game
ties in directly with control of
erosion" they point out.

resources on which the recreations
of hunting and fishing depend. is

This Week in the Garden

Freezing temperatures and
threatening weather may hamper
garden work occasionally but
there will be many days in which
we can take care Of the season-end
chores. There is still time to SOW

the early spring Towering bulbs
and set out deciduous trees and
shrubs. Then there are the last
minute chores of putting the gar
den to bed for the winter.
One of the chores that needs to
be done in the suburban areas is
the digging and removal of dew
berry vines. They resemble trail
ing blackberries and are so OBJ
noxious because the thorny vines
cause painful scratches. BY loos-
ening the soil with a spading fork
they can very often be lifted COM
pletely. Consign them to the trash
burner where they will make good

Newly set out evergreens should
be given the protection of a screen
to cut off sun and wind during the
winter. A burlap bag opened and
tackled to three stakes will provide
the needed protection. The stakes
should be placed far enough away
so that there is a few inches Of
space between the branch tips and
the burlap.
Now Is the time to buy and set
out young shade trees. They are
needed to provide a frame for the

Gen. Marshall has now told the

that there is no thought of
yielding the island to the Reds.
Recognition Of Red China
The administration began with
an aloof position. But since the
Red Chinese entered the war in
Korea, their views have changed.
Gen. Marshall now says that
Mao will not be allowed to shoot

Moscow, 1T is believed by some

present controversy over the
dismissal Of Gen. Macarthur.
As in q number of Western Eu-
ropean countries, the great de-

MacArthur's custer Is inter-

unity in this country.
Few foreign observers realize.
however, that the heated con-
troversy which has gripped the
nation shows. in fact, unity Of
the American masses behind
more effective and determined
resistance to the Muscovite

warlike adventure-until the

But those who do not UNDER
stand the American character
are likely to Judge the develop

and to reach the conclusion
that America is not united. All
these factors are said to con-
tribute toward the reported
feeling in Moscow that the
time may be ripe to hit the
Western nations when they are

Military Lioison Still Confusing.
Misleading Reports on Macarthur Messages Show
Top Officers Have Poor Contact With Field

the January 13 message was a
clarification of the January IL
message or that it was intended
as a modification of the mill
tary policy previously laid down
in the 16 recommendations of
the Joint Chiefs, four of which
were revealed by General
Macarthur in his address to
Congress.
The whole point surrounding
the January II message is that
the administration apparently
challenged Gen. MacArthur's
statement in his address to
Congress that his views on the
four main points had been
shared in the past by the Joint
Chiefs. Nothing in the record
to date contradicts the truth
of the Generals assertion.
In fact, the January Is mes
sage from President Truman
told Gen. Macarthur that "the
entire Nation is grateful for
your leadership" Ten days later
when the January II message
arrived. the issue of evacuation
had been settled and it had been
agreed that U. N. forces would
stay in Korea. So the General
interpreted the January Il
recommendations as still the
view of the Joint Chiefs.
The whole episode illustrates
once more the bad liaison be-
tween Washington and Tokyo.
which is reminiscent of what
happened just before Pearl
Harbor was attacked. Certainly
there is still a lack of co-ordi-
nation, and apparently the top
officials do not know what the
officers lower down are doing
about delivering messages to
important commanders in the
field. A serious catastrophe re-
suited in 1941 from this kind of
confusing setup and apparently
1t has not been cured yet.
