Kven though a person is an invited guest at a gathering, he can stand only so much bragging before starting a counter offensive, and that's just what I did aif president of the South Carolina Game and Fish Association. The Tennessee sportsmen are trying to get a game and fish commis? sion, and have been trying to do so for three years. We have also been ? trying to get one for three years, and so far htfve not been entirely successo W- ? . Tennessee's Federation of Sportsmen have set ten thousand members as their goal. Our Association is also aiming at that figure. Tennessee's legislature convenes in January, as does South Carolina's, The challenge has been issued and accepted, and the contest is under way. The winner is the state that first roaches a membership of ten thousand, or first gets a game and fish commission enacted into law. YVe are starting off on about even terms. The dues to the Tennessee Federation are one dollar a year. Our dues are fifty cents for membership in the state association, and fifty cents additional dues for the average local chapter. The membership of the two contestants is about the same. The only advantage they have over us is the fact t>f a larger population, and the full-time services of a paid organizer. , s This is be merely a friendly contest?no prizes or anything like that ?just the satisfaction of gaining our mutual objectives ahead of the other outfit. From time to time we - will give in this A?lumn the membership standings, and , also the progress being made in obtaining the passage of the respective game ahd fish commission bills.

A LITTLE OF THIS AND A LOT OF THAT I have been studying the budgets of France and Great Britain, our furrin friends when they came aborrowing, but our mortal enemies when ' we go a-collecting. France .has a budget of $3,500,000,000,000, dmded as follows: I?Cash to keep Hitler in Ger$2,200,000,000 mai $2 200,000,000,00 many * ' . .

Those birds would have declared war on us long ago, gassed .us into submision, and, if they coul , would have had Roosevelt, Johnson, Borah, Hoover and Huey Long helping to dig a canal between London | and the Marne river. (N. B. Great, Britain's budget is very similar to France's, except they have set aside $3.85 a.s a sinking fund to retire their debt ty> us.) If Germany wants to beat the living lard out of France, she has my permission as well as my 25 cents. I have hopes that Great Britian will possibly pay us a littl* on account some day and take a receipt for the balance, but if she has a war and needs our help. I'm going to cut the telephone wires between the office of Ramsev NlacDonald and our treasury department, and if they come wanting a loan, I'll make 'em pay up firt8 ptr.d. lb-ally and truly what's happened to us. J according to my way of thinking! is: we have been milked dry and the feed and the feed basket thrown away. 1 think w\- are all getting along mighty well to have all of our <-a-h snitched from us. without any coll ate rials being left with us. Those foreign bullies aint a bit bigger than an ordinary deadbeat who buys a ham and a. hunk of bread on credit, and forever thereafter avoids the kindhearted grocer who credited They have plenty of cash "over there" for every conceivable purpose on earth except for paying their just debt to the United States. I am in favor of this country cutting out teaching French in our schools and substituting Finnish thereafter. (Those Finns are paying their obligations.) And if Groat Britian don't reform, it's O. K. with me for us to change our language from Aigli?>h to Latin, or some other hones^Vlngtie. and if they fool with ' me just a tiny bit more. I'll take out! ar. injunction against them over i fetching another little old sail boa. j over here to get licked. If those birds all we pay us up, why. we d pay all we owe and have enough cash left, counting our gold at the new price, to erect'a 50 story Federal building at every cross roads betwixt j Seattle and Charleston, but don't get hopeful: they aint going to pay.

Game Resources Can Be Made Profitable The fall season is at hand and the thought* of thousands of sportsmen residing in the North will soon begin to turn southward where out-of-doors .sports can be engaged in almost every day in the year. It might be well to remember that numbers of these sportsmen are hunters of small game. In this connection, there is still a wealth of game to be found in the South such a# quail, turkeys, ducks, geese and deer in some places; but few farmers and large land-owners have thought of making money out of this resource. -One of the things that is most noticeable to travelers in passing through this section is the fact that only a small part of the total land $rea is in cultivation. Actually improved farm lands make up less than 20 per cent of the whole, the remain der being either "wild" land or farm woodsland. Under such conditions it is of the utmost importance that areas of woodland shall be made to provide some regular and substantial income. Steps should be taken by owners to make all lands in the rural districts earn taxes. Otherwise the land is a burden to the owner. Fortunately a few landowners in the Southeast have learned that the practice of the most elemental forestry on their woodlands results in profitable crops of timber and other forest products. They are learning, too, that the game resources can be made highly profitable if given a little care and attention. The Southeast is one of the best natural game sections of the country. While in some places abuses have all but wiped out some animals and birds, many of the sections served by the Coast Line still offer exceJlent shooting that can be still further improved and that wi)l bring landowners worthwhile returns. In som^cases they are already leasing their hunting rights for enough to pay the taxes on their holdings. Game conservation after all is largely a matter of applied common sense and means wise use rather than more restrictive legislation. a All game requires ' proper cover, proper food and protection from its enemies. "Given these, plus a respite from shooting at times when the young animals and birds are too small and inexperienced to look after then**, solves, game Will nourish and increase in close proximity to cities of considerable size. ( It is, of course, necessary to have strict enforcement of laws governing bag limits to prevent thoughtless and selfish individuals from killing more than a reasonable amount of game. The great majority of" sportsmen, however, readily comply with the limits established by common sense and good sport. In order to have game it is necessary to leave, or to provide, at the end of each hunting season, enough animals or birds to restock each area, and to see that they have the opportunity to raise their young. This includes protection from wild animals and birds which prey upon game, and especially against prowling house cats and dogs. The landowner who gives proportionately as much thought and attention to his game as to his cotton or tobacco can get a surprisingly large return from the game crop. Good shooting attracts people who are willing and able to pay for their, sport. Very often people who go into a section to hunt, become regular visitors and make considerable investments. In some sections lands suitable for private hunting preserves are already at a premium. While the tourist business i.- attractive. conservation of fish and game has a much wider scope. The people of the Southeast have always been accustomed to an out-of-doors life. A large part of them are direclty interested in game conservation because they enjoy good -port and because they want to perpetuate the supply of game so their chi.Jren will know and love the woods and fields and wild life, and learn how to handle a gun and take care of themselves in the open. As the value of game comes to be more generally known those landowners who take steps now to protect, the game on their holdings are sure to reap the reward for their work and foresight.?Exchange. Much Pork To Be Given Needy Washington. Oct. 18.?Needy unemployed families in South Carolina received 10.117?J 42 pounds of government pork in the 12 month period ended September 30. In ' ddition, the federal surplus relief corporation announced t<<day 2.223,2o 2 pounds of canned i>eef, 1.665,501 pounds of butter, 2,631.624 pounds of Hour, and 1,050,000 pounds of fresh beef were shipped to the Palmetto state during that period." There also was shipped to South Carolina during the 12 months 389,280 pounds of lard, 114,222 pounds of cheese, and 657,568 pounds of cereal foods, the report showed. Net Farm Income Rise Encouraging _____ <0 Farm income, including rental and benefit payments, for the third quarter of 1934 has increased $192,000,000 over the third quarter of 1033 und $505,000,000 over the same period ?n 1932, according to LouU H. P**n| economic advisor to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. For the three months, June, July, and August, 1934, total farm income in the United States including $133,000,000 in rental and benefit payments, was $1,508,000,000 as compared with $1,316,000,000 in June, July, Jnd August> 1933, and $913,000,000 in the same period of 1932, an increase of 65 per cent in two years. This is th^ highest three-month level reached itnce the rise which started in the second quarter of 1933 but still 33 per cent below the pre-depression level. Income for August, 1934, including rental and benefit payments, averaged approximately 8Q per cent above the low level of the first quarter of 1933. % \Vhile farm income increases have been partly offset by increases in price of commodities which farmers purchase, the net increase is encouraging. Prices paid by farmers on August 15 averaged 25 per cent above the level of March, 1933. This indicates that the purchasing power of farm products in exchange for comI modifies had a net increase of ap| proximately 44 per cent, according to Mr. Bean. Higher prices that farmers are now receiving and a larger total of rental and benefit payments are expected to sustain the level of farm income and offset the reduction in volume of farm marketing due to smaller crops. Good Feeding Best While Hens Molt _ Clemson College, Oct. 20. It is to the poultryman's advantage to feed his hens so that they will complete the molt in the shortest possi-< ble time," advises P. H. Gooding, extension' poultryman. The molting period, he explains, is a natural rest period for hens and during this period they gain back their body weight and change their feathers. Asserting that it takes virtually the same ingredients to grow feathers "as it does to produce eggs, the specialist states that the best practice to "follow in feeding molting hens is to keep a good laying mash and grain before them at all times. A heavy feeding of grain will enable the hens to regain their weight quickly, and the sooner this is done the quicker the birds will start laying. "After the hens have been molting for about three weeks, it is wise to start feeding a wet mash about 4 p. m., or later, just prior to giving the grain feed," Mr. Gooding continues. "When this practice is followed, the hens will oat the wet mash and will then gorge on the grain which will cause them lo go to roost with a crop packed with feed. The desirable amount of wet mash to feed is from three to four pounds for each 100 hens." O. Cotton Grade And Staple Reports Ginnirtgs in the Southeastern States this week were lower in grade and shorter'in staple length than ginnings last year. An exception to this is that ginnings in Alabama, while lower in grade, were longer in staple length than for last week. The proportions representing Spotted cotton increased materially this week over last week. Over 62 per cent of ginnings in Florida this week was Spotted, while ginnings in Georgia and Alabama each showed about 25 per cent of this color group. For the season to date ginnings in Southeastern States, including Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, are considerably better in both grade and staple than ginnings to corresponding date last season. Alabama ginnings are an exception in that the length of staple in the State is shorter than last year, as shown by much larger proportions for cotton shorter than 7-8 inch this year to date. Rats May Eat Up Poultry Profits Clemson College, Oct. 20.?A rat will eat two to three dollars worth of feed a year, approximately what it costs to feed a hen, and a hen's feed bill us the most expensive item. These facts, as stated by P. H. Gooding, extensive poultryman, prove that rats are hard on the poultryman's pocketbook and that if rats are present in the hen house, a day or tw spent fighting them will most likely prove to be profitable. Rats may be fought with bait, such as that containing red squill, which is poisonous to rats but not to otheT kinds of animals. They may be gassed, trapped, or shot.
