Fish and Game Protection.

Something like a score of fish, game
and bird protective organizations have
been organized in Indiana within the
last few weeks under the auspices of
thp Indiana fish and game commits

did cooperation by farmers, deputy
game wardens and others for the pro-

preservation of birds that destroy the
insect pests. II is probable that the
fish and game laws in Indiana were
never so well enforced as at the pres

of the game wardens and the changed
public attitude which now seeks to
hclp rather than hinder this work are
