Raleigh and tobacco in England a pleasure tradition
For fifty years after tobacco arrived in England all classes smoked from peers to peasants. The medical field later opposed it for health yet fashion kept smoking. Sir Walter Raleigh helped popularize smoking for pleasure before his death in 1618, while opponents included King James I with his Counterblaste to Tobacco and Dekkar who mocked it as a corrupting influence.

Muskrat Season in Iowa Closed by Fish and Game Commission
The Iowa Fish and Game Commission closes the muskrat season for 1932 1933 after a thorough study. Population depletion tied to drought caused muskrats to cluster in large lakes and streams, leading to widespread trapping and market sale. The ban applies to both northern and southern zones to protect seed stock and aid future increases.
