Crow Is Worst Enemy ; The crow, which is being hunted |as a predator by sportsmen in all parts ot the state, is the greatest single en- emy of ducks in the northwest North Dakota marshes, Gabrielson asserted. “The crows have created a real problem, and to combat them we are sending one of the best trained men available to spend the summer here. He is E. R. Kalmbach, of the biologi- cal survey, who will study the situa- tion in an effort to determine the best method of control. From fragmentary reports emanat- ing from the Canadian provinces, the survey chief said he believes water All Hens lay FRESH eggs! ' ALL Cigarettes are not FRESH! | LISTEN, PEOPLE! - «Are fresh eggs better than stale eggs? Everybody says ‘‘Yes’’! Are fresh cigarettes better than stale cigarettes ? Everybody says ‘‘Yes’’! ts This Week this year. The duck breeding areas in this country have been increased to ja tremeondous extent, he pointed out, adding that the aggregate acreage of nesting marsh in North Dakota is greater than in any other state. Asked whether market hunting re- mained a serious factor in the deple- tion of game, Gabrielson replied that inroads from that source are much ‘less than they were formerly. While non-migratory upland game birds are outside the scope of the bureaus activities, these species will be given every chance to thrive on land encompassed in the projects, Gabrielson declared. Food and cover will be provided and these areas made attractive to upland game. Grouse in ‘Down’ Cycle Questioned in regard to upland game bird conditions, he said it was his opinion that grouse are at present on the “down” part of the cycle of frequency and scarcity, indicating that these birds are decreasing and have not yet reached the upturn, Fish will be planted in reservoirs connected with the projects, Gabriel- son promised, but not in the marsh areas. “It wouldn’t be a good prac- tice,” he commented, “to have ducks hatching out in waters inhabited by northern pike or black bass,” consid- ered voracious species. Gabrielson is not a stranger to North Dakota. He obtained his first field job with the survey in New Eng- land in 1916, Two years later he was Stationed in the southwestern part of North Dakota, covering a territory ex- tending to the South Dakota border. He worked for a time in controlling rodents on the Fort Berthold Indian reservation southwest of Minot and was engaged in prairie dog poisoning operations farther south, Gabrielson’s work, which has in- cluded almost every branch of the survey, has catried him into every state in the Union with the excep- tion of Kentucky. He succeeded Jay N. ‘Ding” Darling as chief of the bu- reau last November. Amy Mollison Takes Off for Capetown ! Gravesend, Kent, Eng., May 4.—(?) —Mrs. Amy Johnson Mollison took off at 8 a. m.

A LITTLE PERSONAL HISTORY Editor, Tribune: T noticed one “Capitalistic Minded” attempted to answer my recent ket- ter. However, with the best of will I was unable to see where his “answer” came in. Not a grain of logic, not a constructive sentence in the whole “answer.” It was merely parroting. Still, being a kindhearted person, I shall accommodate his “wondering” and curiousity if I am a dirt farmer or not, something that is absolutely immaterial and, in case something in my articles was too hard for him I shall be glad, indeed, I shall appre- clate the opportunity to attempt to dispel the mist. And I pray that this might add to his comfort and restore his peace of mind on that point. However, I want first to point out something in “Capitalistic Minded’s” answer that cannot be too strongly condemned, “that they (the govern- ment) pay this money out to people to lean on shovels.” This pitiable parroting was inaugur- ated by disgruntled and rejected re- lief applicants, chiselers, and political enemies of the president and then carried on by irresponsible parroters who seem not to be able to understand what they know. A Fort Peck dam cannot be built by “leaning on shovels” minor dams around The president's intention was to keep up the men’s self-respect and morale and it can be said that the men have reacted in @ very satisfactory manner. But such loose, irresponsible talk is not only unjust and insulting to the men, but it can have a dangerous consequence. Such parrotlike talk can not be too strongly condemned. Iam not a dirt farmer, I have an office job, a very humble one at that. But once upon a time I spent four years trying to pick up some knowl- edge about agriculture. A student had to be among the top men if he should have a chance in competition with seven or eight hundred others for a place among the limited 50 that were to be admitted to the agricul- tural university. Neither money nor influence, only his own qualifica- tions could bring a student there. fully admit that I had a very good chance, but “complications,” that had nothing to do with agriculture or my own conduct, blocked the way. It is about 28 years since I began, off and on, to write about American agriculture, North Dakota farming in particular. I was quite well familiar with the robbed-out and abandoned New England farms as well as the farming methods on the plains. It had been pointed out that that method and the thinning out of the great forests carried the U. 8. along the same road that brought China to its deserts and to “China's great sor- row.” And, if we lived long enough we would see the beginning of the end. There is nothing new in this but a curious fact that the human!obey God who gave the whole uni- mind can vision the future by study-| verse its disposes ing the past. Tt can be a bitter pill, but the time has come when the facts must be faced and the truth be told. It was therefore that the president began his conservation policy of the country’s agricultural resources. The time will come when this alone will place him among the nations immortals. And it was something entirely different from votes with two cars in the garage and two, chickens in the dinner pail. Thirty years ago I was told: “If you can keep the reins you can be a farmer.” It was the first subject I wrote about: “If you can keep the reins you can be a farmer.” Later I discovered it was the truth and not a glorious one. How is it today, the reins, the wheel, or both or what? In the issue where “Capitalistic Minded’s” “answer” was published is an editorial. I should advise him to give it a most careful study. It can give plenty of material for reflections, even an answer to the above ques- tion. However, I still possess sufficient faith in my own convictions to sign my articles with my name and not a pseudonym. Fred Knudsen. ‘WISDOM FROM AFRICA Bismarck, N. D., April 24, 1936, Editor, Tribune: Please allow me to let your readers know at least part of an address which King Mutara IV, a Ne king of Rugnda-Urandi in Central Africa, addressed a short time ago to his sub- Sects: “What I feel deep in my heart is this: that it is to no profit for a man to rule with the intention of getting rich and of living on his subjects. Chiefs should exercise their power for the sole purpose of securing the wel- fare of their people. Parents should command their children with the nor hundreds Of thought of helping them.

So also must they do who, here on earth, command in they are concerned only with the ma- terial well-being of their subjects they will gain nothing. If they fail to guide the people towards the King,| towards Him who has entrusted to His place.' They should also remember that if, law. Everything in a man him to be cause he knows that there is no power except that which comes from God. Hence, if anyone offends his chief he offends God. should enforce laws worthy of our ‘True King, Jesus Christ, for whom they rule. These laws must not be unjust, nor demanding anything ex- cept what is salutary for the people. “I sincerely wish that our Ruanda may be whole and entire for Jesus Christ, that every one may know His will and do it—and that I, too, may really and truly rule for Him. Pray for me that I may reign in His name as an obedient child and not a cring- ing slave.” Let me add the simple question: If all men in political offices were fol- lowing the principles which this Ne- gro king puts before his people, would the highly civilized nations of Europe and America still be compelled to burden the nations with excessive taxes as they are compelled to do now? Yours, VINCENT WEHRLE, Bishop of Bismarck. EXPENSIVE LUXURY Bismarck, N. Dak., May 2, 1936. Editor, The Tribune: I would like to have space in this column to express my disgust with the way this Public Welfare board handling old age pensions. It is a dis- Grace to the state and an insult to the pioneers, the demands they are making on the old people who have endured all the hardships of develop- ing this country and have paid their taxes and accumulated a little home. Now they ask us to sign it over to the state and become pau- Pers to secure what the federal gov- ernment says we are entitled to without this sacrifice. The questionnaires, they are send- ing out requiring the life history of | tinued. one’s parents and all his relatives bearing on his rights to a pension, are out of place. Well, I guess we can’t kick. We are getting what most of us voted for the last 15 years. We must lay the blame on the party that was in control of the last legislature and are in control of every department now. This wel- fare board is a creation of that party and is a pretty expensive luxury, It cost Burleigh county $5,000 in ex- allowed. them their subjects, they will be un-/ cess of the vouchers that was faithful. the absence of any statement what “What I wish to see here in Ru-| this was for, we must assume it was commanded be-/to say. is!have it.
