One of the most serious threats to American agriculture in the afwill be a drive by impractical theorelfish and short ‘sighted inlists to remove all trade reand throw the American et open to cheap es-. m ies from other countries with low living standards.

Although the serial number makes it possible to detect a stolen coupon that hae. been exchanged for gasoline, it is impossible to trace the coupon back to the thief—or. the person who bought it from the thief —uniless it is endorsed. The new coupons reach the local rationing boards in rolls. When a ration is prepared, the required number of coupons are taken from the roll and the eoupons numbers recorded. The coupons a hen stapled in identification si According to Goyne’the A-10 coupon, valid for three gallons expires at midnight March 21. B-2 and ©-2 coupons remain valid for five gallons each.The few existing B-1 and C-21 coupons and old B and © coupons on which the words “mileage ration’ appear, continue t° be valid for three gallons. DEPREDATIONS OF WILD FOWL CAUSE ALARM SAIN FRANCISCO, March 9.—On the ground that crop depredations by wild fowl will be aggravated, strong protests are to be filed with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, against proposed additions to the wild fowl refuge in Glenn and Colusa Counties, it was announced today by George Lodi of Arbuckle, chairman of the Joint Wildlife Management Committee of California. Condemnation proceedings have . been started by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service for acquisition of 9200 acres in Glenn and Colusa counties adjoining the present 11000 acre duck and geese refuge: This proposal, if carried out, would énlarge the present refuge, known as the Spaulding Ranch, to more than 20,000 acres. As a result of a meeting held in the San Frantisco offices of the “alifothia State Chamber of Commerce. Ledi stated, the committee unanimously went on record a6 unalterably opposed to this increase m the acreage of the Spaulding Refuge. “To increase the size of this refuge,” Lodi declared, ‘would only serve to increase wild fowldepredations on growing crops of the Sacramento Valley. As: an alternative, the Wildlife Management Committee is strongly recommending establishment by the State Fish and Game Commission and Federal Wild life Service of a series of smaller refuges extending throughout the Sacramento and San Joaquin jV alleys, where feed can be .grown or otherwise provided. This would have the effect of dispersing the ducks and geese who are so extensively damaging our growing crops, particularly rice, and would afford the farmers more opportunity to protect themselves aganst such depredations.” In: its discussions of the problem, Lodi stated, the committee consider ed resolutions which were presented opposing the proposed purchase by the board of supervisors of Colusa County, a telegram by the board of supervisors in Glenn County. and a letter of protest filed by Wright L. Calender, Willows attorney. The Joint Wildlife . Management Committeé headed by Lodi is composed of fifteen agricultural and sportsmen’s organizations, as well as members of the state legislature, and representatives of the USDA War Board and other organizations interested in reducing crop losses occasioned by wild fowl depredations. 4 AFFECTS STEERING Faulty front wheel alignment is condemned largely on the ground that it results in abnormal tire wear. There is no questioning the accuracy of the charge, states the Public Service Department of the National Automobile Club, but it should be remembered that this deficiency also means harder steering. Check the wheels the next time the car is difficult to turn. Only two states in the nation permit sale of wine direct from barrel to consumer’s jug.
