Wild Life Problems Can Be
Worked Out to Mutual
Benefit Says Schoenfeld
Experiment Is Cited
PORTLAND, March 27. 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.

STREET CAR PASS
PORTLArTO, Ore.. March 37. (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."

other equipment can be evolved for
the quick clearance of roada and
parking area, Mr. Canfleld stated.
