Ranger Warns Hunters of Fire Points Out That More Fires Caused By Carelessness During November "As the fall hunting season and the beginning of the forest fire sea- son happen to coincide, all sports- men can help prevent destructive wild fires by (being careful with fire while in the woods," County Ranger H. A. Hardy warns citizens of Gulf county. Ranger Hardy said that over 75% of the fires in Gulf county were caused by carelessness during No- vember of last year. The *1950-51 state-wide fire report for lands pro- tected by the Florida Forest Serv- ice showed that 97.2% of the wild- fires were man-caused, with over 30%, of these being caused by care- lessness. "Hunters particularly should be careful because of the effects a raging wildfire can have upon game. Game cover is lost, the water in the woods is affected and natural foods for game are burned," said Hardy. "Crush it, drown it, and break it. Follow these rules and the woods will be in good shape for next hunt- ing season, too," added the ranger. "Crush your cigaret, cigar or pipe ash dead out. Break your matches Before letting them fall to the for- est floor. Drown your campfire or warning fire until no ember is left glowingg" .------ - Junior Class'Play Next Friday Night "In Again, Out Again" Promises To Be Laugh Hit of Year; Mat- inee Thursday Afternoon The junior class of the Port St. Joe high school is presenting its an- nual class play next Friday night, December 7, at S o'clock in the high school auditorium.

Our Country 1"9 Right or Wrong THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW Notice in last week's Star where City Attorney Cecil Costin Jr., had been instructed by the city dads to draw up an ordinance providing for a fine of $10 for people who drive their cars over the hose at a fire? We're against such an ordinance. That $10 fine doesn't even begin to compensate for the damage done when a car runs over a high-pressure hose loaded with water. Present cost of a section of hose is around $160, we are informed, and once it has been run over it is practically useless. The local fire department hasn't the facilities to cut out the ruined section and replace the couplings, so the hose has to be discarded. We suggested to Fire Chief Durel Brigmau -and he heartily approved of our suggestion- that instead of a $10 fine that those driving their car over the hose be required to replace that section of hose. If a few penalties like that were to be assessed people would think twice before running over the hose.

AN ACCURATE PROPHECY 'Way back in 1878, during a discussion of the possible dangers of industrial monopolies, Sena- tor Benjamin Harvey Hill in the U. S. senate ob- served: "I have said I do not dread these corpor- ations as instruments of power to destroy this country, because there are a thousand agencies which can regulate, restrain and control them; but there is a corporation we may all dread. That corporation is the federal government. From the aggression of this corporation there can be no safety, if it is allowed to go beyond the bounds, the well defined limits of its power. I dread noth- ing so much as the exercise of ungranted and doubtful powers by this government. . "If this great, ambitious, ever-growing corpor- ation becomes oppressive, who shall check it? If it becomes wayward, who shall control it? If it becomes unjust, who shall trust it? As sentinels on the country's watchtower, senators, I beseech you watch and guard with sleepless dread that corporation which can make all property and rights, all states and people, and all liberty and hope, its playthings in an hour and its victims forever." Senator Hill was a prophet of high order. Dur- ing the past few years the government has grown greater and greater, more costly and more costly -and more and more it has gone beyond the control of the people. It has undermined the foundations on which our freedoms rest. It has come to dominate our lives in a thousand ways. That is the trend which, unless it is checked, must result ultimately in tyranny-as the whole history of the world proves. That boost from ten to fifteen words minimum for a telegram should please the women folks, (\since no woman can express 'her opinion in ten measley words.

Poor Grass-Legume Stands Often Due to Deep Sowing Depth of sowing the seed of grasses and clovers is probably as important as any other controllable factor in, obtaining a stand. The pre- vailing practices of the past have been to sow such seeds too deep and thus .prevent maximum emergence of seedlings and make high rates of sowing a necessity. Recommenda- tions in much current literature in- volve depths which Lre too great for best results. Since a good initial stand is necessary in the establish- ment of meadows and pastures and depth of sowing is a controllable factor, it should be given more con- sideration. Depth of sowing tests in Ohio with alfalfa, red, alsike, and crim- son clovers, white and yellow sweet- clovers, Kobe, Korean, Tenn. 76, and sericea lespedezas, timothy, orchardgrass, and Sudangrass, showed that more seedlings were obtained from seed sown Y4 to 1/ inch deep than from surface seed- ings or seed sown at depths of 1 to 2 inches. Similar experiments were con- ducted in Minnesota withive dif- ferent soil types and with five dif- ferent legumes and five grasses. The species used were alfalfa, sweetclover, red, alsike, and white clovers, timothy, bromegrass, crested wheatgrass, reed canary- grass, and Kentucky bluegrass. The tests were made under variable conditions and at depths, of surface, Yz inch, 1 inch, 2 inches, and 3 inches. The number of seedlings obtained from the surface and Y inch seed- ings were satisfactory for all kinds in these averaged field tests. Red c.dver was the only legume with more than 50, per cent of seedlings from scw-ing at che 1 inch depth. Both of these series of tests show that in regions where soil and amois- ture conditions approximate those of the North Central and Corn Belt States, and perhaps elsewhere, maximum stands of small-seeded legumes and grasses are likely to be obtained by sowing at depths of /4 to % inch. Deep sowing also results in de- layed emergence, weakened seed- lings, and thin stands which permit weeds to get an early start and to compete successfully with the young seedlings of the meadow crop plants. If a companion crop is used, this delay and the stronger, more rapid early growth of the compan- ion crop plants result in still great. er competition for the smaller seed- lings of the grasses and legumes. If the depth of sowing which gives the maximum number of seedlings is used, it should be possible to ob- tain a good stand by sowing less seed per acre than has been used by most farmers in the past. Thed problem of sowing seed at depths of V4 to % inch and not run the chance of much of it being 1 to 2 inches deep is not simple. One of the common practices, and about the only practical one on an uneven or rough field, is to broadcast the seed and follow with a drag having the teeth sloped back. A grass-seed drill is good but extreme care should be taken to set it for very shallow seeding. One of the most efficient implements for this pur- pose is the pulverizer-packer grass- legume seeder. The front rolls pack the surface soil, at the same time creating furrows into which the seed is dropped; the rear roels al- ternate With the front rolls and lightly cover the seed and firm the soil over it.

Time-Conscious Geese Fool Waiting Nimrods Thirty-eight hunters who gath- ered at Crawfordville Thursday of last week (opening of the hunting season) with anticipation of taking home a goose or two today are of the belief that geese carry watches. The hunting season was due to open at noon, and all morning a huge flock of geese milled around in Luther Roberts' field, feeding brazenly. Hunters from miles around got wind of it, and 38 of them paid Rob- erts $5 apiece to hide in the field. They took their stands well in advance of the noon shooting dead- line. The geese went on calmly feeding, paying no attention to the drooling nimrods. It sure looked like a great day, with Thanksgiving goose for everybody. But at 11:30 a. m. the geese all took off and flew into the nearby federal game refuge, and not a single hunter got a shot for his five bucks.

Gray says he going to ask the su- preme court for a declaratory de- cree on the law, passed by the 1951 session of the legislature. The law, he avers, "if followed to the letter. would eliminate every honorable man in the state from the roster of candidates for public office." The particular part of the law Gray will challenge requires candi- dates for office to keep a record of all contributions 'to campaign ex- penses, what they were spent for, name of the contributor, the amount and the item for which the money was spent. Gray said his main reason for at- tacking the law is that he believed it infringes on his constitutional rights as a citizen. "I have talked to several persons who may become candidates for statewide office and all of them have expressed a desire to see the law challenged but were afraid tO do it themselves for fear of public opinion recently aroused by the Kefauver crime investigating committee," said the mayor. "Can- didates feel, if they attack the law, the public will think they are up to some type of campaign skulldug- gery." While Gray said he isn't figuring on being a candidate for public of- fice at the moment, he did say that "some day I may decide to become a\ candidate, and in that event I would not want my constitutional rights as a citizen infringed on by some inequitable law." Tlbe Florida Press Association is also studying the law, lifted almost bodily from New Jersey statutes which for more than 20 years have existed on New Jersey lawbooks without a test case. The association also is contemplating .asking for a declaratory judgment to get court interpretation of puzzling features of the new law.

TO MY MANY FRIENDS I wish to announce my decision not to seek re-election to the office of State Attorney for the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit. The ever increasing duties devolving upon the State Attorney has faced me with the choice of either aban- doning my private law practice or retii-ing from the office of State Atto.nley. I can ill afford to sacrifice my law prac- tice, and it therefore seems only proper that I stand aside for someone who can devote more time to the tremendous volume of work now moving through the State Attorney's office from the 6 counties embraced by this judicial circuit. In announcing that I shall not be a candidate for re- election, I do so with a feeling of profound gratitude to my good friends through whose confidence and good will I was elected to this office nearly four years ago. I trust that I have conducted the office in such a manner that my many friends who so generously placed in me their faith and confidence shall have no cause for apology or regret. MERCER P.
