Of North Carolina
i
Charlotte, N. C. Mar. 11 (UP)
|?A North Carolina Wildlife Federation
is being organized to con- J
ordinate the activities of nature
lovers.
The organization will be a subsidiary
of the General Wildlife
j Federation, which has assumed
jthe task of assembling into one
group all governmental agencies '
and private organizations within
the United States and territories,
which are interested in restoration
and censervation of wild
I life.
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Virgina and West Virginia com;
pose one of the 13 regional divisions
of the parent organiza-!
tion, formed at a recent Wash-!
ington conference called by President
Roosevelt.
Burton H. Smith, Charlotte, is j
|contacting North Carolina hunt-'
ers and fishermen in the interest
of the wildlife program. Smith j
praised the Federation set-up as
one which "cannot possibly get
under the control of a group of
! selfish interests". Developement
of the program in North Carolina
still is in its early stages. Smith
said.
The Federation has received official
endorsement of Boy Scouts
of America, and of the national
Junior Chamber of Commerce, j
The four purposes of the organiz-j
- ation as listed in the constitution
adopted in Washington last
month are:
1.?To organize all agencies,
societies, clubs and individuals j
which are or should be interested
j in the restoration and conserva-!
i tion of wildlife into a permanent,
unified agency for the purpose
of securing adequate public re- ji
cognition of the needs and values
of wildlife resources. ,<

i
Inbreeding And Outbreed- T
ing Both Are Included In
Logical Program Of Improving
Livestock
Improvement of farm livestock, jS
by fixing or eliminating inherited jei
characters logically includes in- a,
breeding and outbreeding. Both | ti
are well known to breeders andtqi
have been used spasmodically for!w
years, but the genetic principles!
on which they are based have j op
never been well understood, say at
livestock specialists in the United p]
States Department of Agriculture.
These principles are discus-! _
sed in the forthcoming issue of i fe
the Department yearbook. |di
Inbreeding is the mating of ?c
closely related individuals, such
as brother and sister, father ana la
daughter. It is a two-edged sword | ia
which many breeders fear. While!su
it is a way of rapidly intensify- nc
ing and fixing desirable charac- jer
ters, it is just as likely to em- ar
phasize undesirable characters. j?t
"Pure families" within a breed 01
may produce a much sought af-1
ter strain such as Anxiety 4th'w
Herefords or Bates "Pure Duch- fa
ees" Shorthorns or Earl Marshall se
Aberdeen-Angus?or they may re- j
suit in failure. This is why prac-'
tical breeders dislike going very}m
far with inbreeding and why any a(
worthwhile experimental program
which must run many years, joi
should be carried out by the Gov-1a
ernment, other institutions, or by ?'
foundations established by men | =
of wealth.
Inbreeding brings out defects'
rapidly in whole families, which jj
may then be discarded. It is a ] ?
sort of truth detector or sound- 9!
ing apparatus to discover what
lies beneath the surface. When jj
intensive inbreeding produces de- ?

lard To Grow
Good Tomatoes
akes Time And Trials To
Perfect Plants Resistant
To Disease
Tomatoes resistant to disease i
a goal of breeders and grow- j
s. Control measure take time 1
id money, can never be effec- j1
ve on an entire crop and are j
lite ineffective in controlling
ilt and mosaic diseases.
Some of the problems of devel-1
>ing disease-resistant tomatoes I'
e related by the Bureau of j j
lant Industry:
The breeder cannot produce a |'
ctives faster than they can be '<
scarded, the breeder resorts to j <
icasional outbreeding. 11
Outbreeding?crosses of unre- <
ted inbred families?may result
offspring with desirable traits
ich as vigor and productiveness
>t only above that of the par-!
its, but even above that of other
limals of the breed. At one J
roke previous losses are wiped i
it with a net gain besides. n
Students of genetics know; <
hat happens, even though the ]
.ctors cannot be identified. Es- 1
mtially outbreeding breaks up i
iced, undesirable factors with <
.ctors from another strain which i
ay even have undesirable char- 1
iters. It is not a case of two 1
ids making a good, but a case
' two goods which did not have <
chance, supplementing one an- 1
her.

resistant variety until he finds a !:
plant with some capacity for "re- j j
sistance" which it can transmit ,
to its offspring. The search may'
lead to remote corners of the '
world. Resistance may be evident. ^
It may be obscure. Once found,
breeding stocks uniform for "resistance"
should be developed. If J
these uniform strains are not; ^
good commercial varieties, the
breeder must use them as par-J
ents to cross with varieties of'
desired commercial qualities.
Successive selections from hy- j n
brids must then be carefully j t
made and tested to make sure I
they breed true for resistant and
commercial characters. This is
slow work, because many genera- j
tions with thousands of plants! ?

Potatoes Require
Very Little Plowing \
If weed control in potatoes is
not a major problem, the extra
work of more than one good,
deep cultivation probably will not
pay. In a 3-year test by the United
States Department of Agriculture
at Presque Isle, Maine,
cne-cultivation potatoes yielded
slightly more on the average'
than potatoes cultivated five
times. j
In both cases there was a light!

Wood had great difficulty in getting
workmen to mold his plows

bushels of potatoes before he had
