THURSDAY, OCT. 28, 1937 MAKE GAME A CASH CROP A suggestion of interest to cnortcmiin oc ti-oll nc firwoT'e ic the loilowi'.ig article by W: T. Combs in the Progressive Farmer. Fish and same are crops which Teach the carrying capacity of land and water, just as any farm crop does. If you do not harvest this crop, leaving" a plentiful seed stock, you are neglecting to take advantage of your natural opportunities. "The current year's expenditures on fishing (for sport) run to about S500.000.000. This year's hunting" expenditures will probably run to ! nearly as much. The problem of satisfying these sportsmen, giving them something for their money, is be- j coming more and more acute. "Why should l.hc farmer be inter- j ested in raising and protecting a j better fish and game supply? If not { for your own recreation, how about for cash? In every state there are ', many thousands of sportsmen who are anxious to find a place where they can get hunting and fishing, good beard, and comfortable lodging at a ; fair price Short or Ion--term leases can be arranged covering your own ! and. neighboring acreage. Or If you have comfortable accommodations you can board sportsmen at so much a day or wcetf, price covering ais > the privilege of hunting and fishing . on your property. Lease rates run from 5 to 30 cents per acre per year, depending on what you have to of- j for Tlic average in the south is 10 ! to 15 cents per acre. The present situation is that \ sportsmen are wanting more game, i looking to the farmer for it. and j willing to pay for it: and the farmer. : with every legal right to raise and ! protect sucli game, can soil shooting 1 rights to these sportsmen."

Reai. !y it is we who are queer, we Xoriii . i Americans and our dainty European ancestors; for most peoples of the world are bone eaters. They eat the soft ends and the porous insides oi : the long" bones, they crouch and i munch the small bones of birds and . little animals entire and the Chinese j have even discovered how to extract the important bone mineral by the use of vinegar. The well known > Chinese dish "sweet-sour spare ribs" j is made by breaking the rib> into xmaxi pieces ana cooKing uieia. wjui any meat that happens to be atj tached. in sweetened vinegar. The resulting* dish is so rich in available I calcium, the essentia! bone mineral, that it will easily supply the body's j calcium need lor a tiay. How do these peoples know that j their bodies must have calcium, a : discovery which science has made i only in recent years ? How do the 1 Chinese know that nursing and j pregnant mothers must have a;i ex: tra supply of calcium *7 Yet they have a tradition by which these 1 mothers must be provided with a provided with a special dish made from the bones of pigs' feet cooked in vinegar. VVho told the American Indian to prepare his tortillas with lime water? You may answer these questions. I will simply add that racial wisdom is such that we should offer lessons in diet to other races with a good deal of humility. Our own experts seem to have de- i cided that we should get our calcium j from milk. We need, says Profes- j sor Scrman, one-half to two-thirds | of a gramme of calcium daily. Chil- i dren and mothers nee.: a gramme j To supply this we must give them j at least a quart of milk every day. j Put milk does not agree, or if you cannot get pasteurized milk and pre- j for not to take the risk of drinking raw milk, then you may take your calcium in the form of dicalcium phosphate.

T take the liberty to sug | gest that inasmuch as the trucl drivers for the children of the coun ty are supposed to have been hiret because of their special fitness foi their positions, that they be scrupu lously careful to try to measure u{ to every expectation In making these suggestions. I feel sure tha: they, will meet the approval of tin officials who selected them, am most assuredly will they meet th< approval of the parents of the chil dren. ii the nr. * place, the person whi takes charge of a truck takes thi lives of the children into his owi bands. in the second place, ho as sanies a responsibility, in some ways equal to that of the teacher, and ii other ways, the same as that of : conductor on a train. He is sup posed to be capable?not only so but willingly to manage the child ret in a first class manner. Assuming that all drivers are persons of char actor, Uie next thing is to have i j schedule tacked up in front of thi him 'inil !1C no mieciwin xm j by it. In the next place, the drive j should properly arrange the pupil I in the bus so that they may get ou I and in without disorder. A no the | thing which is very important, th driver should net speed. Perhaps few people realize how few parent are especially anxious to deliver j child into the- hands of the mos careful driver for a long distance much less into the hands of a per son who is careless and irrespon sible. It is probable that some drivers may not reaiize that they ar actually officials in a school systcn and may think that their only dut is to drive their trucks to and fron school. A few others may o.vade the re sponsibility and just let things rc : along.
