(NOT FIRE)
Nowhere else on earth at
any time in the world's history
has there ever been such a
concentration of large animals
as that which was present on
the grassy plains of the North
American continent when the
bison herds roamed the land.
Only sketchy estimates are
available as to the numbers of
hoofed animals contained in
the herds. Roughly, there
were at least a hundred mil
lion buffalo alone and prob
ably there were nearly that
many proghorn antelope. Vast
herds of elk ranged the north
ern two-thirds of America
from Pennsylvania to the Pa
cific' ocean, swelling the ani
mal population to a stagger
ing five hundred million in
dividuals. .
Slaughtered for Tongues
Across the prairies of the
Old West, the Indian and his
palefaced brother rode, kill
ing the great beasts. At first
the animals were killed for
food; then for sport, then for
hides. At one time they were
slaughtered by hundreds of
thousands ' just for their
tongues. Millions were killed
just because they made a good
target. They were shot from
moving trains and left to rot
under the western sun.
When the hide hunters went
through the west, they killed
and skinned the buffalo and
left the carcasses. Buffalo
robes covered the laps of most
people who had to brave win
ter storms and cold. It is
claimed that at one. time
man could step from one bison
skull to the next across an
entire state without once
touching the ground. There
were times when entire areas
had to be avoided because of
the stench of rotting bodies.
'Always Plenty'
' Naturally, the animals could
not withstand such an impact,
and their numbers declined at
an alarming rate. There were
then, as there are now, some
half-wise folks who claimed.
'There will always be plenty
of buffalo." i
But by the turn of the last
century, what had been a
hundred million had dwindled
to a pitiful remnant of 500
individuals, and these sur
vived only because a few wise
and farsighted men realized
that a majestic animal was
being victimized by greed,
stupidity and ignorance.
Today, but few of the bison
remain. There are small, iso
lated herds under constant
protection and mostly fenced-
in - a pitiful remnant of the
once mighty herds that ac
tually shook the earth with
their' pounding hooves.
The thundering herds now
are hardly an audible whisper.
Gone, too, are the antelope
herds, the elk and most of the
others.
What is left is passing, too;
the bighorn sheep will have
to struggle desperately to last
another decade; their range is
becoming limited. The inevit
able end approaches; already
the great hoofed creatures,
with the exception of the
white-tailed deer, are gallop
ing into oblivion. '

A friendly fellow, Morgan is lonely because the rainy
weather has forced him in doors and kept people away.

Farm Income Under
Eisenhower Down
Washington - 1UPII - A gov
ernment report today indi
cates that net farm ' income
under the Dwight D. Eisen
hower administration dropped
nearly $22 billion below the
total for the preceding eight
years. This is actually a re
duction of about $21.6 billion.
The report from the Agri
culture Deoartment did not
refer to this figure. !
What USDA furnished was
a preliminary estimate of net
farm income in 1960. This
figure was added to earlier re
ports to get the total for the
eight Eisenhower years.
It says net farm income in
1960 rose about 3 per cent
above 1959. This would put
the 1960 figure at about $11.6
billion, bringing the total for
the Eisenhower years to about
$95.5 billion.
Net farm income for the
eight preceding years adds up
to a total of $118.1 billion, a
difference of $21.6 billion.

Thornton Predicts
Trouble in Japan
Salem IUPD Atty. Gen.
Robert Y. Thornton predicted
Monday the United States is
headed for more trouble in
Japan and the Far East dur
ing 1961.
Addressing a Great Deci
sions forum, Thornton said he
felt "the multiple forces be
hind the Tokyo riots of last
June are still at work."
"The immediate goal of the
Sino-Soviet block in the Far
East," Thornton said, "is to
force the expulsion of U. S.
bases from Japan, Okinawa,
the Ryukus and Formosa."
t. "A target of equal import
ance to the Communist plan of
conquest in Asia is the Japan-
U. S. mutual security treaty.
he said. The treaty was rati
fied in spite of Toyko riots
last year.
"I do not think that the Jap
anese people will ever volun
tarily embrace Communism,"
Thornton said, "but we must
be prepared for more picket
ing and demonstrations at our
defense installations, embas
sies, and consulates."
Thornton said he felt the
"Reds will continue to chip
away at the U. S. position
wherever and whenever the
opportunity presents itself.
"They will try to exploit
anti-American feeling and na
tive neutralist movements in
Asia to embarass us or to
cause us to lose world pres
tige," he said.
