ASKS INFORMATION
e. II. Metcalf Will Protect Informants
Who Give Him Tips in Confidence
of Pre- Season Trapping.

Anyone who knows that anyone is
trapping before the season opens will
confer a favor by sending me notice at
once. I viii treat their information as
strictly confidential. and will get evil
dence enough to convict without bring
ing the person who gives me the tip into
the case at all No trapping can be
done until Oct 90, and then only foxes,
raccoons, marten fisher-eats and skunks
can be trapped until Nov. /, when the
law goes off on minks. muskrats and
others. There is no close season on
bobcats and bears.
All close seasons are to protect val
liable fur bearers until the pelts begin
to be of some value. 4 preseason trap
per is simply robbing someone else of
valuable furs they might get when the
season opens. Send in your tips and
will try to do the rest.

that American meat exports would
drop to pre-war figures before European
herds had been entirely restored, as
many factors tend to limit the money
