State Game Warden's Report.

The annual report of the State Game
Warden of Maryland for the year ended
December 81 1910. contains some inter
esting statistics on the game situation in
Maryland, and the work which the Game
Warden's Office is doing toward Its pro-
lection.
For the first time in the history of the
office, the department was sell support
ing The appropriation for this work is
S., 500 and the State received in license
revenue IS, 462, showing clear profit of
$4,672.
Licenses were issued to 4.365 persons,
at the rates prescribed by the various
counties in which they were taken out.
The diligence with which State Game
Warden Sidney c. ZONES and Deputy
Game Warden Oden B. Smith have pros
ecuted the violators Of the game laws has
done much to preserve the small game
throughout the State from the usual reck-
less out of season slaughter.
Forty-seven cases were investigated by
these officials and SO offenders were con-
victed. Seven cases are now pending and
the others were discharged because of the
lack of sufficient evidence
vi lDe 80 CONVICTIONS secured by the
State game officials, % were as direct
result of the efforts of Assistant Game
Warden Sidney c. Jones. 1t was prim-
ariy due to his energy in pushing each
case reported by the deputies that the
practice of dismissing offenders with
warning was broken up.
The office appointed 374 game wardens
of whom % have not yet qualified That
interest is awakening in the preservation
of the small game of the State is evil
denced by the manner in which the var
ious county game associations have gone
into the work of distributing partridges,
rabbits and pheasants for breeding pur-
poses. Baltimore county is arranging to
spend 81, 900 in this work, and it is prob
able that Cecil will follow with like
amount. Baltimore county took the lead
for 1910 in the amount of money raised
through licenses and the number of
licenses issued. OF the $S,472 turned
into the State treasury from these sources
nearly 81, 900 was received from Baltimore
county.
