S. Type 31 includes what is called White Burley^ tobacco. It was first produced by George Webb in 1864. It is light in color and body, and is milder than the Burley used for pipes. U. S. Type 32, Maryland tobacco, is -noted for its < ‘burn , \ In this respect Maryland excels most other tobaccos. These are the kinds of home-grown tobaccos used for making Chesterfield Cigarettes.

For several years, say Survey of ficials. our waterfowl have been in - wad pught, and the present situa tion is almost as serious as the 1931 emergency that led to a one-month season and induced the president to issue a proclamation in behalf of the birds. Canvasbacks, red heads, scaups, blue-winged teals,, and several other species of ducks are at an exceedingly low ebb, even though they may be abundant in a. .ew iavored spots. The only ducks likely to be fairly plentiful this fall are pintails, mallards, and black ducks. Overshooting, declare officials of he Bureau, is one of the chief causes of the decrease in water- fcwl and the only one that can be cmeaied immediately. Obviously,, hey state, the first thing to bo done is to reduce the kill in order to make sure of saving a satisfac- jtory breeding stock: ■; With a breeding stock provided J for, we should proceed at once, say | the biologists, to carry out the pro gram already undertaken to re store water areas, to set aside, sanctuaries, and through research, to find whatever practical means, there may be to increase the pro duction of ducks and geese by helping them against their ene mies, and by preventing the losses occasioned by disease. All these things, they point out, will be of the greatest benefit ultimately, bui most of them require time meas ured in years as well as adequate financial support. txt Home Coming Day' For University of S.
