DON'T BE TOO TIDY, PROVIDE SHELTER FOR BIRDS WHICH FIGHT INSECTS, FARMERS TOLD

Clearing of All Fence Bushes May Be Detrimental to Crops, Conservation Leader Says; Science Academy Studies Varied Subjects.

Times Special NORTH MANCHESTER, includes clearing bushes from

of trees may act as a boomerang to the disadvantage of the farmer, Kenneth Kunkle, Conservation Department Fish and Game director, today told the Indiana Academy of Science. The Academy began two-day sessions and was to hear

State.” Cites Insect Danger

“The farmer,” he said, “who so thoroughly cleans out his farm that he leaves no place for lownesting and ground-nesting birds, leaves his crops and stock wide open to insects on which these birds would prey if they were there.” Mr. Kunkle said also that it isn’t good farming to clean grasses and

small bushes from fence lines because wild life must have continuous cover if it is to survive. It must have lines of cover running from thicket to thicket and the thickets alone will not be sufficient, he said. “All authorities agree,” he said, “that the destruction of the natural habitat of game is largely responsible for its decrease. The improvement of that habitat so that a given area will produce more game is the result sought in game management.”

Meet in College

Dr. Will E. Edington is academy president. Dr. Ortho Winger, Manchester College president, welcomed the delegates to sessions in the college buildings. S. 8. Visher, Indiana University, was to talk later on “Regional Contrast in Rainfall Intensity in Indiana and Some Effects Thereof.” J. E. Switzer, Indiana University, was to speak on “The Droughts of 1930, 1934 and 1936, and the Relation to Crop Production in Indiana ‘and Other States in the Corn Belt.” There were to be sectional meetings in archeology, bacteriology, botany, chemistry, geology, geogra- ! phy, physics, psychology and zoology. Dr. Elliott said “Women automobile drivers react more slowly than men, and a sound warning signal to both will bring their driving foot from accelerator to brake more rapidly than will a tight signal. “These are the results in tests of 700 drivers.” In an investigation which he and Prof. C. M. Louttit of the university conducted at the Indiana State Fair, with assistance from State Police, it took drivers seated

jat the higher occupational levels.

in an automobile about one-half second to set the brake following a warning signal. “An auto horn brought a significantly quicker reaction than a red light in more than 4000 separate trials. Men could get the brake on enough faster than women to make a difference of about four feet of travel at a speed of 60 miles an hour.

“This is enough margin, to mean the difference between safety and collision, in view of the fact that an auto will travel 242 feet at | 60 miles an hour before it can be] stopped on a braking reaction time of one-half second. “One finding was that reaction | time tended to speed up for persons |

Doctors, lawyers and teachers could get their foot on the brake in as short an average time as .491 second, while common laborers required .537 second. Driving experience did not seem to be much of a factor in speeding up the reaction, while age slowed it down slightly. “There is still a place for the automobile horn and the policeman’s whistle. In the drive to eliminate noise, it should be remembered that human beings react to sound more quickly than to sight. One thing that explains the advantage of sound is that sound is nondirectional, while sight requires direct fixation.”

U. S. BUDGET BUREAU REPORTED USING AX|

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (U. P).— Conforming to the Administration’s aim of keeping expenses and income balanced, the Budget Bureau is drastically cutting departmental estimates of needs for the 1939 fiscal year, Government officials reported today.

THESE COVERED FENCES PROVIDE WILD LIFE HOMES

A farm with covered fence rows. such as shown above, provides cover for wild life and gives it a continuous line of protection from hawks and others that prey on it, Kenneth Kunkle, Conservation Department Fish and Game chief, today told the Indiana Academy of Science at its North Manchester meeting.

A farm, clean as a hound’s tooth, as shown above, is the acme of neatness, but with its clean fence lines and its trunk-boxed trees, it leaves no protection for wild life, and provides for no low-nesting or ground-nesting birds, all of which prey on insects and varmints that in turn prey on the farm crops.

Typical Town

Beaver Dam, Wis., Reported Average Small City; Income $1309.

ASHINGTON, Nov. § (U. P.).—A cross-section study of Beaver Dam, Wis, reveals it as the “average” small city among those surveyed by the Department of Agriculture in a study of American family income and spending habits, Dr. Louise Stanley, director of the survey said today. Dr. Stanley said Beaver Dam was one of 19 small cities chosen in widely separated parts of the country for the survey, but that no attempt was made to select a “typical” city. Other small cities surveyed included Westbrook, Me.; Gvreenfield, Mass.; Mount Vernon, O.; Lincoln, Ill.; Boone, Iowa; Colum=bia, Mo.; Dodge City, Kas.; Greeley, Colo.; Logan, Utah; Olympia, Wash.; Sumpter, S. C, and Griffin, Ga. Beaver Dam was “average” in almost every respect, the cross section comprising 453 families, revealed. The average 1935-36 family income was $1309. The average family numbered 36 persons. Only 10 per cent of Beaver Dam

families had more than one wage

earner. Eleven per cent of Beaver Dam families have been on relief at some time during the year. Wage earners’ families outnumbered those of business and professional men three to one. Home-owning families outnumbered renters 220 to 217. Rents averaged $20 a month and no family interviewed was paying as much as $45 a month,
