"Ilhe belief is held that putting a place on the head of an species is a certain way to reduce ts num- bers-and run species it cer- tainly works out that way. Often, however. frauds connected vlnth bounty laws prevent the accomp- lishment cf the purposes oi the leg- lslutlon. Among the more flagrant frauds u the manufacture of "scalps"; where the requirements do not strlctl define the of ue animal be presented for bounty payment many "scalps" may be made from a. single animal Another common way of ‘beating’ bounty laws is to import "sca pa“. perhaps from mother State: and wihot ll tn effect. the same thing. is the paying of s. bounty on e. mig- ratory species. The supposed ne- flt. were there any» to be derived from the killtlng of the creature. would accrue to some state other than the one paying the bounty. For instance. it is altogether pro- bable that crows killed for bounty in nor-them winter roosts are mostly nesting inhabitants of Canada. a stale paying a bounty on such crows, would benefit (if then-e were any benefit) another nation. Many bounty hunters olso are rovldent ¢riough to refrain from i g females. and from disturb- ing dens of young. so as to ensure u. continuing crop of bounty-pro- ducing species. A great defect in the auniiilstratlon of bounties is that the officials authorised to pay them are not qualified to identify the creatures ori whose head there la l. price nor to defect fraudulent “seal s". Again, the question 3s to who er or not bounties will be paid often is vested in boards of county commissioners. of the members of which not one in a. thousand has even a smattering of the informa- tion necesary for Wise treatment cif s. problem 1n aimal econoiiucs. Notwithstanding these objections to bounty lows. lh 1935 twenty- eight. states still retained these arc- haic and harmful provisions. For common species, the usual result of bounty laws, because of defects 1n their administration. is the con- tinued payment your after year of showing that. the procedure is upon a. cropping basis, and no reduction in numbers is being accomplished. Where rare species are concerned, the bounty is higher. the incentive profit by it is much greater and the effect of the law is toward elimination of the rare animals. Consider the case oi Wildcats in Pennsylvania. where the bounty is $15.00-th.ree tines as much a5 that paid upon any other animal In 5-year divisions of a. 23-year period of bounty payment, the aver- age number of wildmts presented for bounty dropped as shown by these figures: 460. 422. 248. arid 18-1. An accelerating rate of decline ‘s obvious, and the fate of the wild- cais is clearly indicated. At the same rate of decrease as show-n in the last period Wildcats will be eli- minated as bounty animals in Pennsylvania during the next five years. that is. about 1944i. Actual extirpation may not. result; but it will be something close to it,‘ Another instance illustrating the evil of bounties (and indeed of any form of control by wholesale action) is Pennsylvania's bunty on wea- sels. A large proportion of those for which bounty is paid are the tiny and interesting Least Weasel. a species whose food the year ’l‘Ollllfl consists almost entirely of niice. for whose capture its loan and disposi- iloll_esluurrl>l_v_f_lt_it_-.l-lare_lhe sit.- with a ln-mer and a smaller corolla. The Red Bartsia, sometimes celi- ed the "Brownweed (Odonites rubra.) is common on roadsides and in fields. It looks as bit like Summer Savory. apart from its color. Cattle avoid it. and are said to refuse grass growing round it “Bur-tale." com- memorates Johann Bortsch. a Prussian botanist. Last, of the family is the Yellow Rettlle (Rhlniinthus i-rlata-pllil: like all the preceding, it ls semi- parastfc on the roots of grass. e name Rhlnanthus is Greek for "nose-flower": (this doesn't. mean that it is fragrant at all, but fon- cifully compares the beaked upper- ,» of the corolla. to an animal's but)“ . Send-parasitic plants will grow in so'l and produce green leaves like the vast majority of other plants: but they never attain full development until they have grass or other roots to draw their sus- tenance from. ‘Ilhere are several other mrmbers of this degenerat- ing group in Canada which have yet been found in P.

The plants are re- markably variable in appearance azid habits of growth/The leaves present almost every form. The flowers are "usually in spikes. as the Mullelhs. or in panicles, as the rank-smelling l-‘igworis, occason- ally axillary and solitary. as the aromatic Musk Flower. but never fewninel. In no family, except per- haps the Orchids are there so many varieties of irregular corollas, which generally have 4 or 5 divisions eith- er slightly united at the bas- or completely lnto a tube. Tm fruit is a I-celied capsu c. wh‘ch opens when ripened and allows the num- erous seeds drop cut. The Bcroiphulariaceae are bitter plants. Some contain a. narcotic poison such as the Fox- glove (Digitalis). Amon the weeds are the Mulleins: Toa Max: the Speedwell; f Veronical). some speoles of which are troublesom on lawns: Glandular Eyebrimht and Red Birt- sla, introduced. both rather com- mon pvstwe weeds in Prince. ward Island: and Yellow Rattle. an annual weed in low meadows."

Some grasses will make their way up inr- oush a considerable fhckness of soil: and no matter how feeble they are aft/er the effort, they quickly become robust when they reach the sunshine. and give the moze trouble since their roots are deep. Then lprepdre a. big batik of good soil ifor a. foundation on which Ito build the stonework; memember it is not an easy matter to renew the soil afterward. so a good k should be laid i:i at first. It is likely that you will use .0cai "rocks," and here is a note of warning: be sure that each s.onc selected is not. om which will shell off every winter. There is con- sideroble diversity of local stone in this respect but. good rocks can readily be detected in spring time l about the same number of bmizitics especially. It ls annoying to have to uncover plants that have been integrated rock every‘. winter» Now lay the stones on the] soil in the proper position in which nature laid than down in the earth: | to make this plairier our sandstones. were deposited in flat layers. and if ‘ they are stood on end the layers will split apart. As to their arrange- ment on the bank of soil. try and make them look irregularly natural and leave plenty of “p0ckets“ for your plants. It would be s. fine thrng if wel could have a gorgeous display the first year, but you know the old saying: “Rome was not bult in a day." It will take two or three years before your rock-garden perennials will cause you to say “Behold it is good." But in the meantime you ma get results if you plnnt some of e lesser-known hardy annuals and you may if inclined save their seed for another year. Here arc a few which will grow anywhere. an: all are dwarf: Iberia (Candytuft) dark crbiison; Ionopsidium acauie (has no common name) very dwarf, dainty pale mauve flowers; Lobeiia several kinds, deep bue: best rous- ed in house and planted out: Silli- vltaiia procumbers (no common name) haid as nails yellow abund- ant: omphalodes llnifolio. while.

' v Vifhen species already have diffi- culty in maintaining themselves bounties are a. fiziislrng stroke. States usually deny that their ob- ject is the extermination of any creature, but. neverthe est bounues are actually extermlnatlng humer- ous species. So, from the state's point of view. it their denial is sin- cere. why ere bounties paid? Our forefathers trapped an occasional weasel that molested poultry, or shot an occasional fox for the same offense. They did not think of rusti- izig to authorities for aid. or of hov- ing “control" subsidized by the, stow. N0. these refinements were left for their more poiitically-pnlnded. and truly elven of unconsciously. com- munistic descendants. ng at a map OCl which the states having bounty laws are made black, the others left while. cnc finds no reasonable explanation for the statutes. Why should Washing- ton. Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, for instance. have bounty laws and Wyoming. Utah Nevada. and Cali- fornia not have them? Both groups have about the same species and about the same abundance of wild life. If one group of these states needs bcunties, the other docs: and the rovers.- is just as true. Referr- ing to the map again. we find that Iowa. and Illinois in white. are en- tirely surrounded by a black belt of bounty-paying states.

Weekly Live Stock Market Report (April 17. 194i) SUMMARY 'Ilhe very sensitive condition of the cattle triidc to supply was dc- monstruted during the past week. The market started off well but under the influence of if little heavier offering soon developed a weakness that finally resulted in a decline in prices for the week of 25 cents to 50 cents on iiiost grades. At the moment, it appears to rc- quire only a small surplus of cattle over immediate needs to break prices. Calves sold steady to 50 cents lower with the loss apply- ing principally to Toronto. Hogs were slightly easier at Toronto and a little firmer at other markets. while sheep and lambs lieicl about steady on e small supply, Eastern Callie ' Marketa Steer and heifer prices were 35 cents to 35 cents at Toronto with weighty steers taking most of the loss. Cows and bulls. however, held steady. Choice weighty steers clos- ed up to a top of $9.10 and butcher steers finished at $7.25 to $8.50. A few hundred cattle were still un- sold at the close. The trade was fairly active at. Montreal with prices steady and giocl steers sell- ing from $9 to $9.50 and good cows mostly $6.50 with an odd sale up to $7. Good cattle continued scarce in the Muritlmes but there was no change in quotations, good to choice steers continuing to sell at $8.50 t0 $9.50.

United States Market 'I‘lie Buffalo market sold a num- ber of Canadian Ft&"“s of hsuvie" weights at $10.25 to $11 and some lighter kinds down to $3.80. THESE sales would be about equal to $3.90 to $9.65 st Toronto on weiohtv kinds and $8.65 to 8.90 on light. weights.
