EMPLOYMENT GAINS Greenville News A further inddoation that the long-predicted “recession” isn’t right around the comer yet is found in the Census Bureau’s latest report on employment. It says civilian employment rose a million between March and April. This is the season of the year when employment in farm ing operations normally rises. And about 60 per cent of the March-April increase was due to stepped up agricultural ac tivity. But not counting the 600,000 rise in the number of farm workers this spring, the employment picture of the na tion is better than it was a year ago by about a million wage earners. In Aprfl about 1.6 million more workers had jobs in ag riculture and other industries than a year„ ago. The aggre gate of their incomes adds ap preciably to the buying power of the nation, for salaries and wages have not decreased dur ing the year. As measured by the number of job-holders earning regular pay checks, the times are not bad. The tide of spending in come for consumer goods is still running strong and finan cial experts say the economy of the nation is in fair balance. The outlook could be a lot worse for this democracy of ours. DUST DOWN, Roll Paper, Pa per Bags, Containers, Ice Cream Cones. Toilet Tissue, Paper To wels, Napkins. Our prices are right.

No one quite knew why. No-hunting laws, refuge systems and re lease of pen-raised and wild birds failed to result in more quail. Now an answer has been found by the U. S. Soil Conser vation Service. According to Verne E. Davison, biologist with the SCS. we have grossly over estimated the food supply. Quail have been starved out. Or, maybe we have only failed to realize what food conditions a covey requires. At any rate, color lespedeza, now acknow ledged as one of the best foods for bobwhite quail, the SCS has proved that a serious food deficiency exists in almost ev ery field, pasture and woods from Texas to Virginia 1 . It has only been within the past two years that the value of bdcoior as quail food has been recognized by both wild life and agricultural circles. To day, bicolor strains hold the distinction of being the first plants developed and improved for the primary aim of bene- fitting an American game spe cies. The future for quail throughout the south is getting brighter and brighter as new strains are introduced, and there will soon be hardier varieties for northern planting. The SCS began gathering su perior strains in 1940, and by careful selection several new strains have been developed that are much better than com mon bicolor. Four million plants of these new strains'—enough for 4,000 covey of quail—were planted afield this year. A perennial shrub, it grows 1 six to ten feet high. It can be es tablished by transplanting nur sery-grown plants or by direct seeding. It has proved to be a most dependable and inexpen sive shrub for erosion-control purposes—a fact which is help ing farmers recognize game pro- dpction as a farm problem they can solve.
