...electric current generated at the Government-owned plants at Muscle Shoals to municipally-owned plants. To prepare retail outlets for TVA's power has been Mr. Lilienthal's chief job as one of TVA's three directors. Birmingham was the first city in TVA's area to vote on whether it would take over the local privately-owned light & power system and buy current from TVA at an estimated 7/10? per kilowatt-hour wholesale, or continue to patronize private enterprises. In the voting, privateering...

...banned all quail shooting for 17 years. New Jersey's northern counties have been closed to it for some ten years. This autumn New Jersey will allow farm-raised quail to be hunted. Iowa will launch a long-range program for increasing its quail supply. In twelve experimental areas State College researchers are studying methods of determining how many quail a given area contains, how many of them may wisely be shot each year. To be licensed for quail-raising a farm must have 640 continuous acres, be provided with adequate food and cover. Next year lowans will shoot...
