WILDLIFE HARTESTS ENDS
FOR NORTH CAROLINIANS
It’s back to the rack for the
guns of North Carolina hunters.
The State’s 1946-47 season for
the harvesting of game birds and
animals came to a close last Sat
urday (February 15) with the
end of the legal period for taking
opossum and raccoon with guns
and dogs. The State’s trapping
season also wound up on that day.
In 1938 he joined the staff on
Oklahoma A. and M. College, in
charge of thfe school’s nursery ex
perimental work. He also taught
there. He received his bache
lor’s and master’s degrees in
plant pathology and botany from
that school. He came to State
College in 1941.
EDUCATIONAL SUPERVISOR
JOINS STAFF OF DIVISION
L. G. McLean of Raleigh, for
merly" with N. C. State College in
charge of the nursery research
program and as a teacher has
joined the Division of Game and
Inland Fisheries as educational
supervisor.
Mr. McLean has had wide ex
perience in research and educa
tional work. In 1929 he joined
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture and was at James Is
land. S. C. for plant disease
studies. In 1931 he was trans
ferred to Texas, working in
Greenville and San Antonio on
plant and erosion-control stu
dies. He was transferred to
Oklahoma in 1934 and as regional
manager instituted the Soil Con
servation Service program of ero
sion control. He also engaged in
studies of native and migratory
game birds.
GAME LAW VIOLATORS
DECREASE IN JANUARY
Violations of fish and game
jaws reported for January by
protectors of the Division of
Game and Inland Fisheries total
led 283, a considerable drop from
the 517 registered for December.
January fines amounted to $2,-
327.30, and court costs, $2,319.
02.
Hunting without license, as
usual, was the most frequent vi
olation. Protectors picked up 134
hunters on this charge. This was
followed by hunting with an un
plugged gun, 30 cases, and hunt
ing out of season, 18. Heaviest
penalties handed out were for
firelighting deer, of which nine
persons were convicted. Fines
ranged from the minimum—$100
to S300 tagged on one defend
ant.
Events marking the week will
place special emphasis on the
need for greater protection and
management to insure adequate
supplies of fish and game to meet
the increased hunting and fish
ing pressure already in evidence
with millions of former service
men and women returned to civ
ilian life.
Each year the Federation is
sues a sheet of wildlife poster
stdmjixs reproduced from paint
ings by famous American nature
artists. The 1947 issue has 40
studies of birds, inammals, fish,
flowers, and trees in the 64
stamps on the sheet. Clubs, so
cieties, and individuals interes
ted in obtaining further infor
mation on Wildlife Week activi

Raleigh, February 19.—Althou^
the supply of mixed fertilizers
available to North Carolina far
mers will be almost as large this
year as last, the supply may be
less than the demand and some
desirable grades will likely be
short this season, in the opinion
of D. S. Coltrane, Assistant Com
missioner of Agriculture.
“Two factprsi lead to the
thought that the demand will not
be supplied. , First, tbe^ dCmand
follows the agricTUtural pocket
book, which is relatively heavy
at this time. Second bottlraecks
in the supply of ingredients have
occurred in the past few months,”
explains Coltrane.
There is an insufficiency of box
cars for hauling phosphate rock
to the fertilizer plants and a shor
tage of tank cars used for trans
porting sulphuric acid, which is
used to treat phosphate rock in
producing superphosphate.
Potash
As regai'ds potash, the manu
facturers who supply North Ca
rolina have ' allotments as large
as last year for the period from
July 1, 1946, to April 1, 1947.
However, this material will be
removed from allocation on April
1, and theie is considerable doubt
that there will be as much pot
ash in May and June as in this
period last season.
It looks now as if the supply
of potash will be 'between two
and three per cent below that of
last year.
Nitrogen
According to Coltrane, the
most serious bottleneck is in the
nitrogen supply. This is “giving
the farmers real concern,” he
says.
It is now impossible to obtain
nitrogen lor top dressing small
grain. Coltrane believes that the
supply this year will be not more
than 25 per cent of the North Ca- |
rolina demand. This'is attribu
ted to three factors:
"W
\ 1. The six weeks’ muitime
strike, which occurred at the time
-when the majority of Chilean ni
trate of soda was scheduled to
be shipped. - '
2. A six weeks’ dock workers’
strike in Chile.
3. ’ The' ina>milability of soda
ash, which-is eB^ntial to the pro
duction" of nitrate of soda manu
factur^ in the United States. So
da a^ is now going to other in
dustries, principally to the glass
industry acep^ing to^ informa
tion received by the State Agri
culture Apartment.
Although shipments^ of ChUeali
nitrate began qn January 25, the
first supplies are not scheduled
to reach the United States until
early March. No supplies will be
available until about the middle
of March. No considerable, a-
mounts can be obtained ..until, the
latter part of May.
Anunonium Nitrate
Large quantities of ammonium
nitrate were exported for the
production of food in ^rope.
Consequently, very little of this
ingredient ’^can be obtained at
this time. "
Coltrane finds that “rather
large’’ supply is expected for top
dressing of crops this spring.
The supplies of this ingredient
plus late arrivals of CJhilean ni-
ti-ate may make the supply in
May and June almost equal to
the demand at that time.

SWIFT'S PLUS-VALUE
TOBACCO PLANT FOOD
.J.
We adniit it’s silly. Even BLENN won’t produce
leaves big enough for Zeke’s cigars. But tobacco
growers everywhere will “vote” for BLENN,
Swift’s plus-value plant food for tobacco. That’s
because BLENN gives tobacco a real, profit
making boost. It helps produce bright leaves of
finer quality. It helps, make better yields for
higher profits.
The formula for BLENN was developed by
scientisla in Swift’s Plant Food Laboratory and
in practical grov^g tests. Every ingredient must
come up to a rigid standard of excellence. The
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash used are the
best obtainable. Then, in addition, Swift adds
those vital extra growth elements that make the
difference tetween a fair yield and a top money
making crop.
There’s going to be a lot of BLENN used on
tobacco fields this year. You’ll be wise to see your
Authorized S’wift Agent riglit away. Place your
order for all the BLENN you wiU need arid
arrange for early delivery.
