Ross O. Stevens, head ofi

of the changes in wild anpopulations

inimals desired and their natural

rhese have been attempts at
fame management. Nearly all
such attempts, sooner or later,
lave run into snags. It is being
'ound that to manage an area i
Jroperly all animals, from these' i
:omposed of no cell through the
nsects, amphibians, reptiles, fishis,
birds, and mammals, must be
:onsidered. Game managements
apidly giving way to wildlife

It is this broad viewpoint which
s being taken by the wildlife
ionservation department of the
Soil Erosion Service. While we
ire giving considerable attention
:o the bobwhite, quail and other
fame animals we are not overooking
the results our work
night have on other species. In
feneral, the song and insect eatng
birds have been gradually deceasing.
The Soil Erosion Service
is anxious to change this
londition and make it possible
'or the birds to more successully
reproduce themselves and tc
nore effectively do their part in
iontrolling insects and other
larmful animals.
New Field
The field of wildlife conserva:ion
is relatively new. It is very
nteresting and offers no end to
study and research. All plants;
ind animals of an area must be
aken into consideration if maxmum
benefits are to be realized,
rhere should be a definite unierstanding
between game manigement
and wildlife conserva:ion.
To Hear McLean

atorial Committee 1
l
Washington, May 7.?The ad- '
ninistration's viewpoint on the constitutionality
of the special se- j
curity bill will be given to the
Senate Finance Committee to- |
norrow morning by Assistant So- ,
icitor-General A. D. McLean. ]
The constitutionality of the bill ,
las become a matter of great J
(resent interest, because of the (
mplications in the majority of j
(pinion in which the Supreme
3ourt yesterday by a five-to-four s
lecision held the railroad pension (
aw invalid. i ?
Following the decision yester- (
lay, Senator Toseph T. Robinson, (
najority leader, requested the j
lommittee to re-examine the con- .
ititutionality of the bill in the 1 <
ight of the decision and the ].
:ommittee requested Attorney- j
Seneral Homer S. Cummings to i
ippear before it for that purpose.j <
dr. Cummings today designated I
dr. McLean to give the view of 1i
he department. (
The North Carolinian some <
veeks ago upheld the constitu- j i
ionality of the bill before the j
louse Committee on Ways and i
deans and his statement was c
lighly complimented by members j
if the committee.
Mr. MacLean has also been des- j
gnated by the Attorney-General
o give the views of the departnent
on all questions which may
irise under the work relief act. j

New Orleans, May 8.?A strong j

it Baldridge of Bloomfield, Iowa,
iresident of the National Editoral
association, with a statement |
oday that since the newspaper |

In his annual address before j
he association, Baldridge reviewid
its first half century, declarng
it was "marked with pro- I
fress" and that the N. E. A. s
(ears an impressive influence on |
he thought of the nation. Some |
iOO editors and publishers are j
intending the meeting here.
"There never have been, in |
his country, really free newspa- J
(ers," Baldridge said, "for the I
(apers have been subservient to I
x>iitical interests or to pet aggrandizements
of their owners.
Ind today, the freedom of the
?ress is in greater peril than ever
efore, because of the growing
lemogoguery on the one hand
ind the increasing bourbonism on

Discussing the effect of the

THE STATE
Tobacco Crop Is
Well Advanced
\t Least 90 Per Cent Already
Set, According To
Wilson Observer
Wilson, May 15.?The farmers
n Eastern North Carolina have
seen extremely bu3y the past 15
lays. I am informed at least 90
ser cent of tobacco has been set
vhich makes it one of the earlest
crops in several years," said
VI. Z. Moore, veteran Wilson tosacconist.
"There are a great many who
lave repainted and have a perfect
stand. On account of cold,
Iry, windy weather there are rex)rts
of some having right much
eplanting to do most of which
vill be completed next week.
"Since the acreage control sys;em
came in effect, the farmers
lave been cautious in selecting
varieties of improved seeds and
fertilizers most suitable to the
soils, every one trying to make
i good quality of tobacco. We
save been cultivating tobacco so
ong the farmers grow it in a
scientific manner.
"Years ago when wrappers and
:obacco of texture were in denand,
the farmers had their rows
from 3 \'2 to 4 feet distance, set
the plants 3 feet distance in the
row, and topped out a certain
imount of leaves down the stalk,
leaving fewer leaves to mature
md ripen, and since there are less
wrappers needed for chewing tobacco,
and the demand is entirely
for smokiner tobacco and cie
irettes, the farmers place their
rows the same distance apart, using
more, and a better fertilizer
in proportion to the fertility of
the soil, and set the tobacco from
18 to 30 inches apart in the
row, an average of 24 inches, and
leave from 4 to 8 leaves to the
plant to mature, more than for
wrappers, in fact a great many
farmers do not top their tobacco,
.vhile I think that a mistake. I
think the button should be broken
out if all the leaves are left,
(ret they continue to do it year
ifter year, and must be obtaining
satisfactory results.
"Curing a crop of tobacco is
the most important work. A good
trop can be damaged or the value
uined in the curing. Men used to
jet good salaries to supervise
suring tobacco but now almost
;very tenant cures his own tojacco
successfully.
"The sad appearance and dissatisfied
countenance worn two
>r three years ago by the farmers
ind tenants have disappeared, and
changed back to that natural
sptimistic expectation of receivng
a fair price for this year's
>roduction of tobacco. They feel
sertain they will receive around
sure of prosperity and can once
igain find time for the problems
>f the golf score."
The opening session of the contention,
which will continue
hroughout the week, was attend;d
by editors and publishers from
learly every state. The various
state associations have planned
ndividual meetings during the
sourse of the convention.

,no risk of having to take 10 or
12 cents a pound as they did a
j few years ago. The crop has
[been increased some, but there
lis no way to foretell the amount
j of tobacco that will be made,
or to guess the price it will bring,

Rails Get Bigger
i Share Of Berries
This Week Sees Less Truck
Activity In N. C. Deal
And Better Market
I New York, May 10.?It looked
like old times at the Jersey City
j ball grounds on Wednesday; 23
I cars of North Carolina strawberries
arrived for distribution
, here. It has been quite a few
years since the rail movement
[from the South has reached these
proporitions. Over 60 cars have
arrived by rail for the entire
| week.
The local truckmen, the receivers
and even the buyers were
more than glad to see the berrj
business by rail again. This helpI
ed the market considerably anc
j caused a better feeling all around
Quality of the berries showed Uf
j fine, and distribution was more
orderly.
This increase in rail arrivals
greatly diminished the true!
! movement of berries from the
Carolinas. A fast schedule has
1 been inaugurated by the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Pennsylvanis
Railroad, giving a running time
between the shipping points anc
Jersey City of 24-hours. The
j train arrives between 10 and 11
P. M. Daylight Saving Time
which gives receivers ample time
to bring the berries to the market.
It is generally predicted thai
the success of this rail movemenl
this week will be an inducement
! to other growers to do likewise
Truck shipments of berries anc
other vegetables from the South
have proven in the past the cause
of demoralized markets arriving
| as they do at all hours of the
day and night to the detriment
of the grower, shipper and receiver.
