It is estimated that the state will be short approximately 23,000 farm workers despite importation of agricultural workers ffom Mexico, prisono ers of war, and migrant workers. As a consequence, it probably will be up to Mr., Mrs. and Miss California to go into the fields and orchards again on vaAFTER THE WAR By LEONE BAXTER When eleven million men lay down their guns at the war’s end, how many, trained for killing, will pick up new guns to send a crime wave rolling over the nation like raging flood waters bursting their dams? The question is up for discussion every time a man in uniform commits a crime. To the layman, war training seems a natural stimulent to murder, rape and robery. According to most criminologists, such is not the case, and their findings are highly reassuring to families of service men, worried about how their boys will come out of the war morinhibitions out the window— a cir‘umstance we are yet too ‘busy to handle—-which may send the post war moral é6tructure into a sickening and unprecedented decline. HELD OVER FOR BREEDING SAN FRANCISCO, March 22——To assure a sufficient number of birds for breeding stock at the state game farms of the Division of Fish and tame, more pheasants are held over into the winter than are actually needed. This allows culling and gelection for the mating pens when the MANY PHEASANTS Re ma B TNE MSA Po A cations and over week ends to prevent loss of vital foodstuffs needed by the armed forces, our allies, and ourselves.

A large percentage of these birds were males which have now been reé leased in areas where there was an unbalanced ratio between cocks and healthy adult or youth can handle.

It is an important, patriotic task, as thousands of San Franciscans have learned in recent years.—Contributed. THE CHRONICLE’S FORUM Another indication of the awareness by San Francisco of its relationship to the rest of the state, particularly Northern and Central California, is reflected in the immediate support given to the San Francisco Chronicle’s proposed statewide forum on present and postwar problems of this area. especially shock cases, will have a deeper sense of social responsibility’ than if they Stayed at home a There is a pretty good chance that those who had criminal tendencies when they were inducted will have them when they walk out With their discharge papers, and the normal, law abiding inductee, in all probability will be a normal, law abiding veteran. : That view is shared by J.

These birds should. produce hatches of young pheasants this spring, and should aid in imereasing the pheasant population in these areas. At the state game farms, the first set of pheasant eggs was made on March 15. Breeding birds are held at Chino, Casaic, Bakersfield, Fresno and Yountville. : Hatching will be done at Chino, Fresno and Yountville, according to August Bade, chief of the bureau of game farms and day old chicks will Of all-the major cities of the nation, San Francisco is in the best position to take a constructive position of leadership.

MAN AND HIS VICTORY GARDEN All the current appeals made to recruit victory gardeners this month, worthy as they may be on a patriotic basis, have been based upon ponderous and cosmic motives which real gardeners will take in their stride. It is doubtless true that backyard and Sunday afternoon gardeners are contributing substantially to the food supply of the nation. It may be true that food will win the war and write the peace. But confidentially that is not the real reason why men and women don their old hats and fatigue uniforms, grasp an ‘onion or tomato. setting between their thumb and first finger, and sally forth into the sunshine to wage a protracted campaign against slugs, snails and other assorted pests. No, even patriotism could not take these gardeners out of their backyards. In fact, it is one of the blessings of this terrible war that so many of us have tentatively taken up the hoe from patriotic motives only to discover the beauty and satisfaction of gardening. The warmth of the spring sunshine, the earthy odors of newly turned soil, and the abiding satisfaction in transforming an ugly backyard into rows of fresh vegetables are so delightful ehat we would never willingly give them up. Like Candide, beset by the troubles of this best of all possible. worlds, we can say to our personal Dr. Panglosses, “‘to heck with it all, I'll go dig in my garden.’’—Contributed. tor moral but already here, are most of the factors that might generate the crime wave so many still expect with peace. They are the younger brothers and sisters of the service men, the juvenile delinquents whom our and social agencies have not yet succeeded in coping with. Another facis the possibility of depression following the war for jobless men are bitter men and often anti-social. Dr. Winifred Overholser, superintendent of St. Mental Hospital, predicts “the loosening of morals after the war, a slump already evidenced in juvenile gang warfare, petty crimes, and a soaring tide of illegitimacy.” The supposed killer instinct of batElizabeth’s ter Arnold, Kern county supervsies bird production and distribution.
