Wild life problem! can be worked out to the mutual benefit of farmers and sportsmen. Dean William A. Schoen feld of Oregon State college Mid to rt aT at an agricultural conference meeting here. "We're not going to get the answer at once, but wo must focus attention on It end seek the answer." he said An experiment In that direction on 3600 acres near the Benton and Linn county lines was described by Arthur S Elnerson, U. 0. Biological Purvey official, who Is at Oregon State col lege temporarily as a game manage ment Instructor. The plot, known as the Soap croek game management area, Is owned by farmers who agreed to cooperate wun State college, biological survey and state game officials In the experi ment, Elnerson explained. Increase Htudletf. Natural creases In the protected game are studied. The farmers co operate by raising certain forage crops to supply seed for game birds to eat. Some means of compensating the farmers will be determined later, he said. They may be paid accord ing to the number of game blrdc killed. The 75 sportsmen, farmers and State and federal officials dlscuued means of supplementing farm Income by propagation of game on farms. 'I don't blame the farmers very much for shooting game out of sea son," said Lew Wallace of Portland, member of the state game commis sion. "I've been a farmer and I know their problems. They feed the game most of the year. All wild game Is property of the state, but the state would have no funds to pay )) losses." Ed Aver! 11, permanent chairman of the Oregon conservation council, said sportsmen have made possible as much conservation as "we have." The : Chinese pheasant does some damage! to crops, but 11 months of the year aids farmers by eating bugs, worms i and weed seeds, he continued. ! Fatora Herlpt Program. "I'm for the poor sportsman as well as the rich," Averlll said. "I'm for a script program under which farm ers would raise and protect game and be remunerated by the state for nil game killed on their properties." Prank B. Wire, state game super visor, did not address the group, but explained after the meeting that Ore gon has a game script law, but farm era and sportsmen have not yet agred to Its operation. The activities of the state game department are financed solely by sportsmen's license fees, Oame Com missioner B. E. Wilson of Corvallli pointed out. William M. Rush of the biological survey said that state and federal officers were meeting the problem of elk depredations on eastern Oregon farm lands by opening the well stocked areas to hunting each sea son and keeping understocked areas closed. "Something must be done to pro tect crops, or farmers will be up In arms," he said. VET LEADEOCORES COLLEGIATE SATIRE PHOITNIX.

(AP) Urban Kubat's originality Is to be rewarded and the offer comes from none other than the street cor company whose pass the whole Ku- bat family Is riding on because of Blue Boy, a three -yen r -old homing pigeon. Urban worked '.out a scheme by which he takes Blue Boy to work each morning. The pigeon flies home with a case under his wing in which is the street car pass on which the 10-year-old boy went to work. Urban's father retrieves the pass and goes to work with the ptgeon, sending the bird back so Mrs. Kubat can bring down the family lunch. William H. Lines, general manager of the street car company, said "as cltlKen" he wanted to congratu late Urban on his cleverness. "The pass is good for the family and we want the family to use it Just o long as two members do not rtde on It at the same time." Furthermore, said Lines : "If low ceilings, poor visibility, storm conditions or other factors which make for poor flying condi tions ever prevail, all the Kubat family has to do Is to put Blue Boy on the street car with his pass, of course, and the mo tor man Is hereby Instructed to see that he gets off safely at the proper stop."
