Beware Poor Land
by I'm RHoDYH

Experience has taught the veteran
quail hunter, regardless of the lack
of thought he may have given the
matter, to 60 along with Louis
Bromfield's observation, Poor land
produces poor crops, poor stock,
and poor people," might well be
amended to include poor game. "
Given the opportunity he will, al
most instinctively. select as his hunt
ing territory fertile farm, offering
ample food and a diversity of game
habitat.
We believe it was DR.. r. W. Esch-
meyer, the noted fish biologist, who
jokingly said the way to spot farm
pond that is full of fish is to notice
how well the farm-houses and barns
are painted. The better the paint
job, the better the fishing. His rea
soning was that if the buildings are
well maintained. it is because the
farmer is prosperous. If the farmer
is prosperous, it is because his LAND
is fertile. If the land is fertile, the
pond also will be fertile, and the
fertile pond will support the mos,
fish. We can't report on how his
theory works out in practice, but it
sounds logical
Weeds Not Enough
1t is self-evident that non-fertile
land cannot produce the luxurian,
groWths and abundant food supply
requisite for carrying large guam,
tity of game through the critical
winter and breeding seasons. Poor
land, especially if it has been over
grazed, is highly productive OF
weeds, but weeds alone are not
enough to satisfy fully the needs of
game birds and animals. They are
fine for mice, but who wants to go
mouse hunting?
Less self-evdent is the fact that
foods grown on neglected WORKOUT
land are deficient in minerals and
VltamlnS that are IS important to
animals as they are to man. Their
degree of Importance is indicated
by the fact that some animals can
detect their presence. or note their
absence, in the food they eat. For
instance, hog given free choice
will eat from a pile of corn raised
from good soil in preference to an
equally sized pile raised on a poor
farm. Of further Importance is the
possibility that living in poor habi-
tat and under general adverse con-
dtons alters breeding habits and
reduces the reproductive capacity
of animals. Leopold suspected this;
later observations lend credance to
his suspicious. Quite possibly the
two phenomena are related.

MODERN GOVERNMENT

Two men were working on the
White House lawn, each supplied
with a small push cart. They walked
about picking. up paper with a long
spear. One spied piece Of scrap
paper and started to spear it when
the wind came up and blew the
paper into the White House through
an open window.
The man became frantic and
rushed into the building. He re-
turned shortly, shaking his head.
TOO late. He's already signed it."

This tip is particularly for bass
fishermen who like to angle for

about six inches long and then tie
another knot in the end of the loop
SO as to leave small loop about a
quarter inch long. To attach the
plug. pass the small loop through
the eye of the plug, then lift the
large loop over the Plug and pull
tight To remove the plug merely
pull the small loop.

As you know, the local Presby- terian Church has been planning Tor some tme to be hosts to Alaska rresbytery- -Presbyterial, April 22 to AprI 27 After the tragic fire of last week many townspeople seemed to feel that such a thing should be cancelled.
 In view of this fact. a special meeting of the congregation was called Sunday March 23. following the morning Worship Service. At this meeting Che pros and cons Of the adyisability of continued plan ming for these meetings were thor oughly discussed.
 Although we all feel deeply a. bout the towns loss, it was unani- mously decided it was more im- portant than ever that this con- claye be held We realize there will be much criticism concerning this decision. but the life of the town cannot just drop it's aetiv- ities and sit in mourning.

CARPENTERS WILL STRIKE APRIL 28;

ANCHORAGE = April 2S has been set as the date when all carpenters in Alaska walk off their jobs un- less current wage demands of $3.58 an hour are met

 The carpenters. Swan said, take the position that for years there has been too much difference be tween their wages and other heavy industry crafts such as teamsters, operating engineers and laborers.
 The other crafts signed an agree 'ment in December to accept the 9 cent hourly increase. The raise, ef- fective last January 1, still subject 10 the approval of the Construc- ton Stabilization Industry Commis- sion. Swan did not say what the other scales were.

UP OUT OF THE ASHES

1t has long been the contention of this newspaper that Wrangell is the most cooperative town on earth The prevailing spirit aI- ways has been that what is good for one is good for all what is bad for one is bad for all.
 We are proud to reiterate those sentiments on this occasion as one half of our towns business district lays in ashes
 The close-knit, shoulder to shoulder efforts which has mark ed Wrangell through the years was never more clearly demon strated than during and since the conflagration which laid h 3 town low. It was that old daunt- less, neyer-die spirit of all for one and one for all which brought under control the worst fire dis aster to strike the town since the historic fire of 1906.
 Today the estimated property loss stands at $1.25O,000 for the destroyed section alone, not in- cluding personal effects, many of which can never be replaced. Damaged area figures, W h e n definitely ascertained, will add greatly to this amount.
 It's a tough rap.
 But. side by side the people oi Wrangell fought the flames into submission. With courage and de termination they will again, side by side, rise from the ashes - 8 bigger, better and more modern jed town.
