approached New York today aboard the tanker Esso Bay-

Joy over their own miraculous rescue was tempered with
sorrow at the fate of three other persons—two men pas-

waves apparently too weak from injuries for the long strug-
gle against tempest winds and battering water.
Eight coast guard vessels gave the three up for lost after

Austin, Jan. 28.—Questioned about his attitude toward
proposed relegalization of horse race betting in Texas,' Gov.
W. Lee O’Daniel said today he was opposed to any measure
which would place the state in “partnership with crime.”
A number of bills to relegalize betting on horse racing
are expected to be introduced in the legislature, which two
yean ago replaced a legalization statute after a bitter con-
troversy. .axeu 12 * a * * " * T‘em,

in favor of this move.
Of course the farmers are pro-
tected by our trespass laws, but
very few wish to take this step
against friends or neighbors. The
farmer wants, first of all, proteo-
tion from rowdyism and careless-
ness. He also wants the profit
justly due him for the product
his acres provide in game, fish
and fur, even though it costs him
little to produce it. In most cases
he and hig family will enjoy mak-
ing new friends among sports-
men from the towns and cities.
Such contacts are profitable and
helpful in many ways, not only to
the farm family, but to their city
friends as well.
Posting the farm against hunt-
ing, fishing or trapping may help
to keep careless strangers away,
but it makes new friends and of
itself does little or nothing to in-
crease game on the average farm.
The future of wild life in the
county is In the hands of three
agencies. It depends upon the
ability of landowners, state game
commissions and sportsmen to de-
velop and maintain a system that
will bring pronounced benefits to
all. This profitable and pleasant
alliance, which is the only solu-
owner. Due to the present "closed

the legislature Monday, Gov. Lee O’Daniel inaugurated his
promised policy of seeking far-reaching economies in effi-
ciencies in the state government. The message made specific
emergency recommendations and gave notice of others to
follow, and these had been preceded by notice of still other
recommendations of similar intent.
The governor strongly urged that the state auditor
be appointed by and be reponsible to the legislature and that
the state budget law be amended to make it tight and to
compel its observances by the state, counties, cities and other
political subdivisions that have the responsibility of spending
the people’s money. He further said that later he will make
emergency recommendations to abolish and consolidate many
useless special funds, that the legislature may have a more
definite control over public expenditures.

REPORTER
Rida Flock of "Star Boarders".
Morna Hope Anderson, poul-
ty demonstrator of the Tundra
4-H club, wishes to raise chickens
tor profit and has begun her
demonstration by ridding her
flock of the "star boarders" by
culling and selling the non-layers.
She used the receipts from these
culls to buy standard bred cock-
erels for breeding purposes. She
has also begun to keep an ac-
curate record on poultry expenses
and receipts for the year.
Morna Hope keeps laying
mash, water and oyster shell be-
state-wide when they may really
be only farm-wide. It is unwise
to enact laws permitting the kill-
ing of game on af lands within a
large political division regardless
of the fact that on many farms
within that area there is little or
no game. Equally unwise is it to
close entire communities or states
to build to hunting when it is
obvious that certain farms have
abundant supplies of game that
are well taken care of by the
landowners.
This article is not meant as
criticism of the acts of our former
and present representatives, but
to show that after careful study
of the problem and after hearing
the opinions of several others in-
terested in wild life it is impera-
tive that such legislation. as now

inflexibe legislation.
Legislation should be so framed
as to furnish an incentive to
practice game management. On
two properties, side by side, one
, owner may provide food, increase
a farmer from hunting birds,
even on his own premises, this
group can see no advantage in
spending time and effort to aid
in the propogation of wild life,
when they are not allowed to en-
joy its advantages.
It is needless to state that
illegal hunting must be stopped
and legal hunting adjusted to the
game supply; that is, in areas
where the legal bags permitted
are larger than the supply justi-
fies, hunting should be kept with-
in reasonable limits. To this end
legislation should take into ac-
count the farmer's efforts in be-
half of game. Flexible administra-

FOR HEALTH PROGRAM
Birds appeal strongly to the in-
terests and affections of man-
kind. Not only do they charm by
their graceful forms, harmonious
colors, sprightly actions, and usu-
ally pleasing notes, but they have
an even more important claim
upon our esteem because of their
great encomic value.
Birds feed upon practically all
insect pests. They are voracious,
are able to move freely from
place to place, and exert a steady
influence in keeping down the
swelling tide of insect life.
For economic as for esthetic
reasons, thereore, an effort
should be made to attract and
protect birds and to increase their
numbers. Where proper measures
of this kind have been taken an
increase of several fold in the
bird population has resulted with
decreased losses from depreda-
tions of injurious insects.
Though game has been driven
by man out of much of our coun-
tryside, it can be restored and de-
veloped. The same gully that
wastes the land can be made to
produce a cash crop through the
proper methods of curbing ero-
sion. A goodly supply of game
birds, in addition to being bene-
ficial because of their insect-con-
suming habits, will eventually
provide the farmer either extra
food and pleasure or an added
source of income, as be can al-
low sportsmen to hunt on his
well-stocked premises and pay for
the privilege.
Van Zandt county with it
countless acres of wasteland, un-
trimmed fence rows, and govern-
ment pea patches affords excel-
lent coverts and food sources for
thousanls of game birds and wild
life in general. With any definite,
organized effort this number
could be greatly increased. Meet-
ings have been held recently for
the purpose of forming a wild
life association in the county. But
this is impossible without the co-
operation of tbs farmer and land-
wood. y i -
