—Conservation— CROWS LIKENED TO DARK CLOUD OF DESTRUCTION Heavy Loss Suffered by Farmers in Ravages by Black Flocks. Thl U the flr*t of two artlrle* on crow*. The terond will appear neat Saturday. BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Time. Special Writer A flock of ravens separated itself from the black green spruce forest covering Coffin island on the south Nova Scotia shore and slowly flew over the half mile of intervening water separating the island from the mam land at Beach Meadows. Croaking gutturally. they covered the space between the wide sand beach and the sparsely cultivated acres of the thrifty fishermen ne>e Eagle Head m a few minutes flying at a lower and still lower elevation until the flight assumed low visibility against the gray green brackens. Suddenly one raven left the flight and dropped heavily on a low stone dike, another swerved left and another right, wheeling as though under explicit instructions to alight in nearby spruce trees. Descend to Eat The major part of the black squadron continued another hundred feet and slowly settled in an open field across the road and hard under another bleak stone fence Beyond the fence was a road and topping a cut bank on the farther side was a gray shingled fish drying house. The entire cavalcade of gluttons fell heartily to eating fish offal thrown out on the small field by the owner who, according to Nova Scotia custom was preparing his next season garden with fertilizer. A brief period of silence broken only by the distant roar of the gray Atlantic surf beating out its brains against a hardbitten coast, then, “Blam! Blooey" A thick cloufl of black powder smoke held agiinst the side of the fish house then lazily drifted off to merge into the blue haze of a sea turn day. Old Peter Noggler appeared soberly in the door of his fish house, a great ten-gauge go<*e gun in his arm crook and surveyed the slaughter. remarking: “Ten-eleven ravens. Not so nad. If a body doesn’t keep his weather eye on his garden those croakers will take the whole lading, bile and belly. They are worse than the herring gulls and they are bad enough. Taint hardly use to try to keep them out. but I can't waste all those cod fish cheeks.” Cost to Farmers is Heavy In another country a leaser raven called a crow’ flies in flocks numbering into the thousands. The farmers are not content with them but passively submit to his depredations. Annually he costs the soil tillers thousands of dollars in illicit booty. Nothing is sacred to him: everything is grist for his gizzard. His day starts early and lasts late and he rats and eats. Eggs, young chickens, wild bird fledgings. beetles. cutworms and com. sprouts: sometimes beneficial, but mostly not. Canny as an Aberdeen Scot, he knows exactly how to gang a nesting hen. wild duck or pheasant. I have witnessed a wild hen duck leave her nest in mad panic to escape their black ivory bills that would have blinded her and have seen them carry away her entire clutch of eggs. # They are the major public enemies among the egg destroyers today in the United States and Canada. and to them can be attributed the principal reason for the scarcity of wild mallard ducks. Crows Use Watchman And if you think you are a clever sportsman, go out with your gun and try to shoot just one crow. Dash along a country road. Over there is a field is a flock of feeding crows. As long as your car keeps moving there they eat. A wonderful shot. Stop the car and you can't unlimber your gun before* they are gone. Don't try to sneak up on one. Over in a tree, out of sight, is a watchman. When you are nearly in range, up h? jumps and squalls out in a mile-wide voice. “Caw! Caw.” Then a pause. Again. “Caw! Caw!” It means, “Look out! Look out!” And every crow within hearing knows exactly where you are. and I sometimes believe knows your name make of your gun, its caliber and the size of the shot you are using Try a blind. Use a decoy owl. You will get a few good shots; then you will have to mo\e on. It will be several days before you can use that blind again to advantage You can't fool a horsefly; neither can you fool a crow. much.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PROPOSED CODE OF INVESTMENT BANKINGREADY Sweeping Reforms Will Be Studied by National Institutions. Sweeping reforms in banking were revealed today in proposed rules of fair practice for investment bankers which will be submitted Monday to firms in twenty-six cities throughout the country. These proposed rules, prepared by the code drafting committee of tne Investment Bankers’ Association of America, have been approved by the association board of governors at a meeting attended also by non-mem-bers of the association and by members of the national code committee. The rules prescribe that investment bankers must insist that corporations whose securities they sell to the public will disclose periodically all essential information to help investors know what their securities are worth. High-speed distribution and highpressure selling shall be banned, the proposed code states. No sale shall be confirmed unless it has been approved by the investment banker or a responsible executive of the investment banking firm. So-called doorbell selling is forbidden absolutely. Tribunals Are Planned Machinery for the enforcement of fair practice rules is to be set up by the business itself. Tribunals will be established to which any investor may bring his grievances. Advance notices on new issues, including adequate information, must be given in ample time for careful consideration by the securities distributor. The investment banker will have to disclose to all customers w’hether he is acting as principal or agent, and if as agent, whether for buyer or seller. The proposed rules provide for a uniform price at which new issues of securities may be sold to the public, but also definitely strikes at selling to preferred lists. The practice of favoring one client over another, by paying more than the market value for a security taken in a trade, is prohibited. Drastic Penalties Urged If approved by the NRA, the rules will have the force of law under the national Industrial recovery act. The association believes, however, that investment bankers should devise a procedure for enforcing the spirit of the code that is more expeditious and effective than is provided by the courts. It is provided that all investment bankers desiring to do so should register with the investment bankers’ code committee. Drastic penalties for violations of the code would be determined by the committee. The association believes that the compelling inducement for investment bankers to register is that no registered banker would grant any nonregistered banker in America the discounts or commissions customary among dealers, nor join with him in any selling syndicate, but could deal with him only on the same basis as with a member of the general public.

ORDER NEW TRIAL IN DYNAMITE CASE Former Hammond Theater Operator Wins Appeal.

CITY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA SET FOR BUSY TIME Following Concert, March 6, Musicians Will Play in Other Cities. With March 6 marking the “zero hour” for its next Murat theater appearance, the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra, under Conductor Ferdinand Schaefer's baton, is spending the next three weeks energetically polishing off musical “rough corners.” The purpose of such industry is. however, three-fold, for the date ot the fourth concert this season will inaugurate the most active two weeks in the orchestra's life. Exactly one week later, March 14, the orchestra will fold up its music racks, commandeer three crosscountry busses and bag and baggage (including everything from piccolo to tympani), and will invade the precincts of Purdue university at Lafayette. The trip will be in the nature of that most gratifying of artistic compliments, a “return engagment.” For the local group emerged so well from its initial out-of-town appearance there last year, that it received an enthusiastic invitation to come again—and at a fee considerable higher than that of last year. That, however, is but half of the story. After several years' efforts March 21 will mark the realization of another symphony dream, when Mr. Schaefer takes his enthusiastic band to the other end of the state for a concert at Bloomington. The program there is to be present eh under auspices of the Friday Musicale, and will be given at the Indiana university alumni hall. For the next local appearance of the orchestra Mr. Schaefer has selected a program of “romantic” music, featuring works by Rossini, Schumann, Saint-Saens and Max Reger. Every joint in the root system ot a Johnson grass plant—often several feet in length—is a possible source of propagation of this pest.
