GOVERNOR . Federal Reserve
In picking Eugene Black of Atlanta
for Governor of the Federal
Reserve Board President Rocsevelt
has followed the example of his
last Democratic predecessor in selecting
a man from the South to
head up the nation's financial system.
I am one of those who believe
that the late W. P. G. Harding
of Alabama was the best man
who ever held the post to which
Mr. Black has been appointed.
' Mr. Black was picked, I am told,
mainly because he is entirely free
from Wall Street influences. He
has a bigger and more important
task than any of his predecessors
had, since it is on the cards, I believe,
that the entire banking system
of the nation will be taken into
the Federal Reserve System,
and the head of that system will
exercise financial control even
greater than that of the Governor
of the Bank of England.
Unlike many bankers, Mr. Black
has a sense of humor. But his reputation
for sound, homely common
sense is the highest.
ROCKEFELLERS . they move
Times change and landmarks
pass. The Rockefellers, father and
son, are moving from the historic
address "26 Broadway" to the new
Rockefeller Center, five miles up
town. For more than fifty years
"26" has been the headquarters of
the Standard Oil Company interests.
Nobody knows how many millions
have been made there, but
probably enough to pay off our national
debt, if the men who made
it had kept it.
The Rockefellers don't keep their
money. They spend it largely in
vast enterprises for the public welfare,
education, health and the
restoration of historic antiques.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is in the
limelight just now because he objected
to Communist propoganda
being put into a mural painting by
Diego de Rivera, the Mexican artist
v.ho had been engaged to do
some work in the Rockefeller Center.
Some "Liberals" are making a
great fuss, saying that Mr. Rockefeller
is no judge of art. That may
be true, but wouldn't he look foolish
promoting Communism?
GOLD since 1493
According to the United States
Bureau of Mines all the gold that
has been mined in the world since
any kind of records have been kept
and that is from 1493, the year
after Columbus discovered America,
down to date, amounts to a little
over a thousand million ounces. At
$20 an ounce that is worth twenty
billion dollars, and mere than half
of it is still in the form of money
or gold bars held in banks as security
for money.
In the United States, since 1792,
we have mined about 226 million
ounces, worth above $4,600,000,000;
and that, curiously enough, is just
aoout the amount of monetary
gold still in this country. i
In the same 450 years of gold
production the amount of silver
mined in the world was a fraction
more than fifteen thousand million
ounces; and the ratio of silver to
geld in the world's monetary system
before silver was dropped by
one country after another, was just
about fifteen to one.
Silver is coming back as money,
but it is more likely to arrive at
a ratio of about twenty or twentylive
to one than the traditional
"sixteen to one" of the old Populist
days.
POPULATION . needed growth
The United States could support
probably ten times the population
we now have. It used to be all that
nine-tenths of the population could
do to produce food enough for the
ten-tenths; now it takes the time
and work of only a fifth, perhaps
less, to feed everybody.
Population in the United States
is almcst standing still. Unless
there is an unexpected upturn in
the birth rate or we open our doors
again to immigration from Europe,
we shall find ourselves still less dependent
on the producers of food.
It looks to me as if fcod farming,
on any important scale, will
be a thing of the past in fifty
or a hundred years from now. More
people will be engaged in trying
to make money out of growing
food. They will get their cash from
other forms of labor and of products
of the land.
LAND . . what it will earn'
What is good farm land worth?
An English friend told me not long
ago that the best land in England,
where the average production per
acre cf all crops is much higher
than in America, the markets are
at the door, the growing season is
longer and the climate generally
more favorable, can be bought for
$100 or less per acre, when it can
be bought at all. With an experience
of two thousand years behind
them, English fanners are pretty
likely to know what values are.
I doubt whether any land in
Warrenton, North Carolina
America can earn interest on a very
much higher valuation than that
except in a very few highly favored
spots and then only by intensive
cultivation of high-priced perishable
fruits and garden truck.
One of the principal causes of
much of the present trouble of the
farmers is that they paid, or promi
ised to pay, more for their land
than it was worth, and their mortgages
represent more than the actual
value.
Land, like anything else, is wcrth
only what it will earn.
Legislature Makes
Several Changes In
State Game Law
The Legislature found game, fish
and conservation laws a favorite
subject and enacted more than
two-score new laws on the subject.
,
Sport fishing was the subject
93 lowc nnri came regulations
were changed in more than 20
acts. The commercial fishing industry
and fishermen also were
the object of some score or mere
laws.
Several efforts were made to
materially change the set-up of the
State Department of Conservation
and development, which administers
all game and fish laws, but only
one major change was made.
The offices of State game wardens
and commissioner of inland
fisheries were consolidated into one
office to be filled by a man "of
scientific training and experience
in the propagation and preservation
of fish and game" whose salary
will not exceed $3,000 yearly. He
will be named by the sonservation
board.
Game Commissions
The major changes in the State
game laws were embodied in one.
new act. Under it a game commission
is created in each county, to |
be composed of the chairman of I
the county board of commissioners
the clerk cf the superior court, and |
the county game warden. The commission
will direct the expenditure
of a graduated percentage of the
hunting license receipts for the
control of predatory birds and animals.
New schedules for license fees
will be: County resident, 60 cents;
State resident, $2.10; State nonresident,
$10.10. Former fees were:
County, $1.25; State, $3.25, and
non-resident, $15.25.
For the purpose cf fixing open
and closed seasons, the State was
divided into three zones. The western
zone includes all counties west
of Alleghany, Ashe, Watauga, Av
ery, Mitcnen, y ancey, duuuoiuuc
and Henderson. The central district
includes counties beginning at the
western boundary and exending
eastward to a line formed by Warren,
Franklin, Wake, Chatham,
Lee, Moore and Richmond counties.
The eastern zone contains all counties
east of the line.
Open Seasons
Open seasons for taking game
birds and animals, except possum,
coon, deer, buffalo, elk, squirrel and
bear are: Western, November 15 to
January 1; central, November 20
to February 20; eastern, November
20 to February 1.
Open season for deer will be:
Western and central, October 15 to
December lo; eastern September 1
to December 15.
Open season for squirrel will be
Western, October 1 to November
30; central and eastern, October 1
to December 31.
Open season for racoon and pcssum
in all zones will be from November
1 to January 31.
Open season on Dears will be:
Western and central, October 1 to
January 15, with bear hunting proHihit.prt
in t.hp east until 1934.
Local seasonal changes were made
for Halifax, Northampton, Hertford,
Person, Martin, Bertie and
i Washington counties.
No open seasons were listed for
beaver, buffalo, elk, doe deer,
pheasants and ruffled grouse.
The 1931 law allowing creation
of privately owned public hunting
grounds was amended to allow establishment
of such reservations on
1000 acres of land, instead of 3000
acres.
Hunting Permission
The new game laws make it unlawful
for anyone to hunt with
guns or dogs upon the lands of another
without obtaining the owner's
consent and such permission
applies to only one open season.
As the State law puts no regulations
on fox hunting, local bills
on tho snhiopt. mprp made law for
several counties. The regulations
vary greatly.
Several special seasons for individual
counties were called for in
new laws, most of them being
shorter than the State-wide seasons.
Ashe county got a. special
game commission empowered to
control hunting and fishing regulations
there. Bladen county got
special seasons for quail, turkey,
squirrels, rabbits, bear, foxes and
deer.
Uniform seasons for taking all
forms cf game in Cumberland

counties between November 20 an

pheasants until 1935. :
In Catawba county the season '
for all game will be from Novem- '<
ber 20 to February 1, but pheasants '
may not be hunted until 1935. A 1
special Hyde county law sets the 1
fee to hunt migratory wildfowl as ;
$15.25 for non-residents of the
State and $1.25 for North Caro- ;
linians.
Most of the local fishing laws
provided exceptions from the state- i
wide laws on fishing. <
The two new State-wide laws '
would allow daily fishing permits 1
to non-residents of the State at '
60 cents per day and would cut the
fee for a permit for propogating |
game fish from $25 to $5. One also .
allows a commercial fisherman who i
has taken out proper licenses for <
this type of fishing to deal in live :
fish for propagation. <
The local acts range from adding
new waters to those in which fish- >
ing without license is allowed to i
permission to seine in certain of
the streams. (
