Crop Repiorta Ravorable From Whi
ter Wheat Fields..
Chicago, March 21). —The Modern
Miller says that generally favorable
crop advices are coming from the
winter wheat territory and that
weather conditions during the last

ress of the crop. The most promising
feature is the fact that in most of
the territory west of the Mississippi
River there tis nil ample supply of
moisture. States to the East of there
also have abundant moisture. -
Although Spain docs not possess
the greatest aren of cork forests she
produces approximately one-third of

! Raleigh, March 29- —Creation of a
; state anglers tax by the 1927 ses
sion of the General Assembly mark
ed one of"the most oustanding steps
in this state from the standpoint of
sportsmanship. declared Director
Wade H, Phillips of the department
jof Conservation and Development.
I yesterday.
! Results of this legislation will bc
[ come more obvious in the future
as more funds are. provided for re
stocking the fresh waters of the state
| with fish, he pointed out. Tne puo
j vision that the funds derived from
I the operation of the law shall be
: used for the propagation and pro
j teetion of the game fish in the
streams of: the statexhouhl furnish,
; according to estimates, at least ten
! thousand dollars or more the iirst
year.
| "It is hoped, said Director I'iiil-
I I ips, "that the number of game fish
may be increased so that this state
will become known throughout the
.country as a mecca for fishermen.
Tlicr are thousands of sportsmen in
the United States who will be at
tracted to North Carolina by know
ing that there is ample sport to be
had in catching game fish.
“We have already in North Caro
lina five state hatcheries and the
state is cooperating with the federal
government toward maintaining an
other. From funds to be derived from
the anglers' tax and through appro
priations we hope to increase the
I capacity of these and to add others
as the need arises and finances per
mit."
Predictions have been made that
the license law will prove extremely
j popular with the sportsmen since
I their fees will be turned back dircct
