Game in Africa
Ample, Hunters
Few, Peret Says
By DAVID W. MAZEN
Staff Writer, The Orcgonian
Wild beasls on the Tanganyika
plains mi- getting a great break
on aecoiint ol the war. While I ho
Germans arc killing women and
children, the lions and leopards
and elephants of the African wild
country are not bothered by big
game hunters from London und
Berlin and the United States.
Gus Peret, Oregon's best known
gift to the big game hunting
craft, was stopped from going to
the black continent by the blltzs.
At the Benson hotel Peret de
clared that If the giant cats of the
Africa veil could siieak, they
would say nice things about Hcrr
Hitler and his baby-killing raid
er. "This war has stopied nearly
all game hunting over there,"
Gus declared, "and the old guides
and white hunters are having a
hard time making n living.
Yonenlla Rancher
Peret, ex-football star of Uni
versity of Oregon nnd owner of a
large ranch near Yoncalln, Is spe
cial representative of the Rem
ington Arms company. In this
line of work for 31 years, Peret
has traveled over most of ' the
earth teaching Hons and ele
phants and Kodlak hears to re
spect American-made ammunition.
"During the first world war.
there was a great deal of light
ing in various parts of Africa,
where the Germans had large
colonies," explained the dead
shot shooter. "This was very
hard on the game, for the men
of both armies killed for fond,
nnd for trophies as well. The
hunters In there now still have
to get game for meat, but there
are so few of them that very lit
tie hunting is going on.
Peret said that "a topnotch
white hunter In Africa draws
S750 In English money for n
short trip, and all he furnishes
is a rifle, you have to furnish
him his ammunition. You don't
have to furnish them their liquor,
but If you open a bottle, they arc
nlwavs on .hand to gel their
rharc -a damn big share."

Sheep Like Brome
Grass, Test Shows
Smooth brome grass hay prov
ed the most palatable to sheep
and Reed canary grass the least
palatable among 19 dirierent
kinds of grass anil grain hays
fed at the eastern Oregon experi
ment station, reports D. E. Rich
ards, superintendent. The test
was made by giving five different
kinds of hay to sheep each dav
and then keeping a close check
on the amount of each kind con
sumed. This was the second trial
of Its kind made at the station
and results obtained were-similar
to those of a year ago.
Smooth brome grass proved to
be almost as palatable as alfalfa
hay. Other high ranking rongn
ages were timothy, beardless
wheat, big bluegrass, Asiatic san
foln and Fairway strain of crest
ed wheat grass. At the bottom of
the list were so-called Michel's
grass and Reed canary grass.

Pacific coast production of hops

excess of ttlotments,! has extend
ed to Aprl 30, l!M3, I he time dur

Growers who take advantage
of the extension have three
chances to avoid the penalty.
They may underplant their acre
age allotment next year by the
amount of this year's excess:
they may count on the lining of
quotas by 1!M3; or they may
suffer a crop loss next year of
such magnitude as to offset tile
excess.
DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
Am radium gives out light,
heat and healing without de
creasing lis power, so may we
shine for Christ. Christianity
is the only religion in the
world that does not exhaust it
self in blessing the human
raw. Radium shines without
being consumed or replenish
ed, except as God's energy
causes It to name like a mim
ing bush. If we let our light
shine, the supply will be un
diminished, hut when hidden
under the bushel of self, It Is
extinguished. No scientist can
explain radium or electricity
anv more than he can explain
God. If we accept radium, the
telephone, the telegraph, why
not accept God. His highest
spiritual energy waits to
charge our being with all pow
er so that we may shine as the
stars forever. Radium lays
prolong or destroy life,
cording to our attitude toward
them. It is also so with the di
vine light. It may become v
consuming fire or a shining
elorv, according to our recep
tion or rejection of His pow
er. The choice Is ours. He that
fnlloweth after me shall not
walk In darkness but shall
have the light of life. God's
love Is the most persistent
never - falling, Indestructible
thing in the world. Amen.

More Heating Plants
Go Into American Farms
COLUMBUS, O. (API Thej
day of furnace-equipped base-;
ments for rural homes is giving
way to more efficient storage
and heating plants, says George
R. Shier, agricultural engineer-
ing specialist at Ohio State uni
versity.
Put the furnace In a uiuny
room at the rear of the house,
Shier suggests. Blower systems
will deliver the proper amount
of heat throughout the dwelling.
Utility room furnaces elimin
ate the need for basements en
tirely, says Shier, and without
them farmers won't be bother
ed with the problem ol keeping
them dry.
Shier expressed the belief
that furnaces because of their
heat probably have ruined more
good basement storage space for
vegetables and fruit than most
farmers realize.
