CAME A8 AN AGRICULTURAL
CROP
(Uy W. C. Kelley, Junior Biologist,

Fur in game la essenitally a product
of laud and Ih as characteristically
agricultural a# timber, farm crop#, or
doim-Mtic livestock. Human capacity
to transform the land surface and
render it unfit for habitation by wildlife,
particularly game, baa been clearly
demonsl rated by the rapidly decreasing
numberH of game which accompanied
the frenzied human effort#
to in< reuse the number of cultivated
acres when crop price# were soaring.
That a rever#al of the de#trucllve
proce## (ran bring about an amazing
rcHtoratlon of game hu# ul#o been
amply demonstrated in many loealltie#
Moreover, game represent# a
' crop which, tiiougli requiring a tnltiimuin
expenditure, yield# a harvestable
surplu# in favorable environment#.
it follow#, then, thut game
. cannot he ignored in any comprehensive,
well considered plan for land
utilization.
Through tiie properly coordinated
use of ill# land, the farmer may do
much, not only to #uve the remnant#
but ul#o to increase greatly the number#
of game on hi# farm. To deal
intelligently with the problem, however,
roquireB <an appreciation and
understanding of the requirement# of
the game. With the#e requirement#
dearly in mind, wildlife value# should
be measured against land value# for
other use# and the land put to the
sanest u#e,
The basic requirement# for game
are a sufficient, available and varied
food supply Cover and protection
against enemies. Range which offers
suitable nesting place#.
'I hese requisite# call for area# definitely
devoted t<> the use of game.
Su? h areas as hedge row#, gullies, badl>
eroded fields, fence corners. and
other marginal and Hiih-marginal an as
are of little or no value for other
nse.u |,in are, or can he made, havens
t?>r game birds In addition to the
iarea# set aside specifically for wildlife,
other portion* of the farm can
be made to coutrlbute to the welfare
of the game species. Flolda of lespedeza,
cane, cowpeas, peauuta and other
crops add immeasurably to the
natural food supply: "
At very little expense, the farmer
can need gullied apota and entail gullieh
to lespedezas which will reseed
themaelvea. I^spedeza aectlon la particularly
adapted to thla uae. Corners
of fields, Inconvenient to cultivate;
Held border#, unproductive because of
hhade, need for turning room, or danger
of erosion; and other small Idle
patches planted to intllet, cowpeas,
hoybeans, lespedeza, bonne, Florida
beggar wood, or other crops used by
game and sutted to the region represent
an excellent Investment in game
Insurance and erosion coutrol. The
expenditure for seed and fertilizer
combined need not exceed $6.00 per
acre and most cases can be held well
below that mark.
Gullies planted with fruit-producing
shrubs which can withstand silting
will be used by quails, particularly if
the fruit ripens during the lpcuballon
period or is available ddrlng the winter,
All of these treatments are comparatively
inexpensive. The shrubs,
privet, coral berry, American beautyberry,
blackberry, wild plum, wild
cherry, haw, cedar, holly and others
can be collected locally and transplanted.
Although a majority of the farmers
in South Caroiiua have not made any
provision for game in their land use
and erosion control plans, they would
doubtlessly do so if they were aware
of the profits which may accrue
through the sale of shooting and trapping
rights, under the regulations fixed
by the Stale. Since farms must
be managed for profit, the fact that
fanners have a proprietary interest in
the game on their land and that they
are Justly entitled to a monetary return
proportionate to their efforts in
Its behalf should be recognized.
(One southern state's quail crop valued
at well over one million dollars;
South Carolina at $400,000 or 25c per
bird ?,

Radio Priest
Is Condemned
Cincinnati. Sept. 25.?The Most Rev.
John T. M( Nicholas, archbishop of the
Cincinnati archdiocese of the Roman
Catholic church, issued a statement
tonight condemning Father Charles
E. Coughlln's assertion that President
Roosevelt was "anti-God."
i He also protested and condemned
j Father Coughlln's statement in an address
before a national union for social
Justice rally last night "that he'advocates
the use of bullets 'when
any upstart dictator in the United
States succeeds in making a one-party
government and when the ballot
is useless.' "
Vatican City, Sept. 25.?A second
Vatican "warning" to the Rev. Father
Charles E. Coughltn, was held a
fueure possibility tonight by prelates
who tendered his public declaration
that President Roosevelt was "antiGod."
Vatican prelates, studying about the
President of the United States, "could
not be reconciled with the belief by
authoritative Vatican circles that in
every polemic, authorities should be
respected."
The prelates recalled that the authoritative
Vatican newspaper Osservatore
Romano recently rebuked the
Royal Oak (Mich.) radio priest after
a political speech in which Father
Coughlln termed tho President "a
liar."
Despite Coughlln's apologies after
the "liar" appellation, the Osservatore
held it was not proper for a priest to
attack constituted authority in any
nation.
Father Coughlln's "anti-God" definition
of the President was made during
a speech at Cincinnati Thursday
night during which he declared that
Mr. Roosevelt "says destroy and devastate"
contrary to Biblical tenets.
The orator also declared ho would
urge "the use of bullets" if an "upstart
dictator" voided the ballot.
That big settlement of Dakota

about $12,000 per settler to go through

Divorce Grounds
Often Ludicrous
Judges seem to be stiffening up a
bit iu the matter of grauting divorces,
says the Milwaukee Journal. The
other day one announced that in bis
court one slap would no longer be
coMidered sufficient evidence to warrah$
a decree. It might be the meaningless
expression of an idle impulse,
he said. Hut still there are plenty of
complaints which will win the papers.
In Chicago Mrs. Patrick Crane hid
in the back seat of her hupband'a automobile
and what she saw and heard
from that vantage point won her a
divorce and $25 a week.
And Karal Hak, a batcher, got his
papers right away when he reported
that his wife had put soap In his
coffee, needles in his bed and had
thrown a salt shaker at him.
It was in Chicago also that Esther
Gottchalk won $50 a month because
her husband made her oil and clean
too many gadgets.
it Hwems that Gottchalk, was a gadget
fiend. He made 'em, and bought
'em, aud swapped for 'em, and persuaded
all his friends to give 'em to
him on all birthdays. His house was
cluttered with them.
None, Mrs. Gottchalk, told the
Judge, wus worth a hoot. None would
sweep the floor, dust the furniture,
do the wafting, open a can or wash
a dish. Hut Just the same if Gottchalk
came home and found any untended
he got pretty inad.
That was all the judge needed to
know. He gave Mrs. Gottchalk her
$50 u month forthwith.
Still in Chicago, Patrolman Thomas
Simmons, weight 1115, was allowed to
divorce his wife, Carrie, weight 165,
because she had been violently and
physically cruel to him every day of
the eight years they had been married.
Carrie gave Thomas 30 pounds,
but he never had a chance. Not for
so much as one day in eight times
365. Thomas could clout the daylights
out of a crook, but Carrie had
the Indian sign on him until the Judge
wiped it off.
A fellow, named Joe Hill got a divorce
because his wife lied. This was
in Eureka Springs, Ark. She had been
married before and when she and Joe
came to terms she told him she had
three children. Joe said he didn't
mind. Liked it, in fact, because it
saved him a lot of trouble, But when
she moved her family In Joe counted
up to eight. So he went to the judge
Lillian Ehrhardt, in Trenton, was
also successful. Rut, of course, she
had a much better story. Her husband
threw a live cat at her, though
lie knew she had a horror for cats,
and then he squirted insecticide.
Mrs. Tresa Egli, also of Trenton,
told an even more powerful tale. Her
husband, she said, kept rattlesnakes
in the bathtub. She found them there
every Saturday night, and maybe
oftener. .
The judges looked pretty* stern
when they heard about that, but they
began to smile again when Laura
Canning came along. She said that
her husband sent her an Easter egg
covered with cuss words.
That one was on a light level with
the story of Mrs. Ben Skelly, out San
Francisco way. Her husband, with
whom sho had recently celebrated a
golden wedding, suddenly got to
pinching her at funerals. Of course,
they didn't go to many funerals. But
on the other hand, when you did go
you didn't want to be worrying and
watching your husband's fingers all
the time.
Death Sentence
For Killing Officer
Charleston, Sept. 25.?Benjamin
Rivers, 45-year-old negro convicted of
killing Detective Purse A. Wanaley,
was sentenced today to be electrocuted
January 14, five months to the day
from thd elate of the crime.
Judge Marvin M. Mann, before pussing
sentence, denied a defense motion
for a new trial and conceded the prosecution
request that the time for
Rivera to die be set sufficiently far
off to permit his use as a witness
against Isaac Brown, co-defendant
who is to be tried at the next torm of
court.
The negroes are alleged to have
killed Wanaley whe^n he attempted to
arrest them. N
Moccasin Strikes Boy
, HartflYille. Sept. 20.?Charles Kupfer,
high school boy, who lives a few
miles from Hartsville on the McBee
highway, was bitten yesterday morning
by a copperhead moccasin.
Charles immediately tied a tourniquet
around his leg and killed the
snake before the accident was known;
to others. He was rushed to Dr. Byerly's
Emergency hospital where he
was given treatment. It is reported
he is "resting well."

Columbia President
Scores Modern Life
New York.?Nicholas Murray Bui
ler, president of Columbia university
recently denounced modern life and
| arraigned the church, home and
school for failing in their fundamental
duties as he opened the 183rd year
of the university.
"This world, which calls itself civilised.
Is only jusf now emerging from
the greatest of all wars, which shook
and weakened its very foundations,
and at the same time it is thinking of
war. talking of war, spending for war
and preparing for war in a fashion
and on a scale which would ybe quite
Incredible were it not so obvious,"
Butler said In his presidential address.
"Crime multiplies year by year and
almost day by day. It is more common
and more brutal among those
people who consider theselves highly
civilized than among those whom we
"complacently class as barbarous. t
"Murder has been against the law
at least since Moses came down from
Mount Sinai, and murderers have been
punished by beheading, by hanging,
or by electrocution. Yet there were
more murders in the United States
last year than among any other people
at any time In recorded hlBtory.
"Instead of people leading upright,
kindly and conscientiously ordered
lives, we have on every side a mad
passion for personal gain at whatever
cost, an eager desire to get something
for nothing and a willingness to commit
the most appalling and lhhuioan
crimes in order to satisfy some quickly
passing emotion, or to gain some
much desired personal end,
"Is It not the plain fact that the
war, which has so long been prosecuted
by the church, the school and
the family upon evil, upon immortality
, upon crime and upon every form
of selfish disorder, has thus far failed
to win a victory that has any real
meaning in the case of hosts of our
fellow men?
"The answer must, unhappily, be
yes. Is it not also plain that the environment
in its grosser aspects,
working through all the modern organs
of publicity, has largely displaced
the church, the school and the
| family as a controlling educational
j influence?
j The two most precious things in
j this world are liberty and justice.
Neither can exist apart from the
other. Both must be taught and both
i must be learned. This means instruction,
guidance and discipline. Kespect
for law depend^ upon man's
ability and willingness to change the
law to meet his changing needs.
physical force, terrorism,
depotism cannot accomplish'the high
ends at which civilization aims. Intelligence,
sound moral standards and
the spirit of service can do so, always
have done so and will continue to do
so. It is for these that the endless
war is to be untiringly waged,"
farm terraces end to end
SIX time8 nation's length
More than 16,000 miles of terraces
?enough for about 6 terraces from
New York City to Los Angeles?have
been built by farmers in Soil Conser-|
vatlon Service demonstration areas in
forty-one states. During the next 3
years the Service expects to help
farmers build about 36,000 more miles
of terraces. ?= ? .
The value of terracing in keeping
soil on moderate slopes from washing
has been proved in many parts of the,
country Terraces usually are built on
land with no more than a 12 per cent,
slope.
In one case unterraced land lost
soil at the rate of 64 tons an acre each
year. On similar land terraced, the
soil loss was a little more than two
tons an acre. In another test, unterraced
land lost from eight to ten time#
more soil per acre.
Another value of terraces, in regions
where rainfall is scanty, is that
they hold moisture as well as soil
Numerous tests show that as much
aa eight per cent, more water runs
off unterraced fields. Crop yields also
are increased on terraced fields,
after about the sepond year, the Increases
being much^reater after several
years.
The Soil Conservation Service finds
that terraces should not be much over
a quarter of a mile in length. Shorter
terraces generally conserve moisture
and retard washing better than long
terraces. - .

WHERE WAVE* WENT HIGH
Thc Llttle Norway Lake Surged Highu
ar Than Tha Capitol Doma
With a terrifying row/an avalanche
plunged from .rocky cliffs nearly a
mile high into the still waters of Loen
Lake, western Norway, recently. The
wave that followed was reported to be
as high as the capitol building at
Washington. It took a toll of more
than 70 lives and nearly wiped out
two villages near the head of the lake.
"I.oen Lake, an extension of a series
of waterways leading inlafad from
Nord Ejord, la no stranger to disss-]
1 ter," says a bulletin from the Wash-.(
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic society. "Many Inhabitants
of the region recall % similar
tragedy in 1905, when |W?ons lost
.Ifafelr lives.
"In 1934 nearly 00 persons were
drowned by giant waves set up in the
same manner at Tafjord, a few miles
northeast of Loen Lake.
"Loen Lake is famed among travelers
and anglers as one of the moat
beautiful of many long, narrow, stone-1
ringed fingers of water along the ruggad,
mountainous coastline of western
Norway. A barrier of rock separates
It from the main fjord and the sea,
raising its level to a height of some
289 feet above sea level.
. "The lake Itself la about ten miles
I
long. Except for a few knifelike ravines,
it is entirely surrounded by
huge precipices nearly 5,000 feet high
with mountain peaks towering another
1,000 to 1,500 feet above the ciifftops.
Between mapy of the peaks
huge glaciers descend, but all of them
are transformed into waterfalls before
they reach the lake. When clouds
hang low In the region these falls
seem to drop out of the mist.
' Most impresslvd Of the lake's rock
walls is the steep, serrhlfid face pf
Ravenefjeld, source of the avaladciie#
that caused both the 1905 and recent
disasters. Near the southeast end of
the lake, this Btern 6,575 foot clifffaces
three of the principal hamlets
of the region and a number of scattered
gaards, or homesteads, whcse
inhabitants sometimes do not see the
sun at all during the winter months.
"Scars of the 1905 avanlanche when
a stupendous crag detached itself and
plunged into the lake, can still be
? f* ,
seen. This slide was recalled by a
memorial stone on a low rock by the
lake. "The
villages of Noesdal and Boedal
which were reported virtually destroyed
by the recent wave, hug the
shore across the lake from the Ravenfjeld.
They again felt the full force
of the giant waves set up by the tons
of rock hurled into the water. Many
of the houses had been moved up the
shore since the 1905 catastrophe, but
still not far enough/'
