ny. 1t also had it's own refuge Of 49,
600 acres. SO the state Is now in pos
session of 234,3OO acres Of refuge.
This land is worth not less than SO an
acre, at a low estimate.
And this Is not all. Gov. John Nj.
Parker, Conservation Commissioner
NJ. L. Alexander and Mr.. McIlhenny
have a plan to increase the total acre
age TO 100000 in one big tract.
The Rockefeller foundation and
Ward-McIlhenny tracts are separat-
ed by two other tracts. One of the lat
ter is tract of $4,000 acres, lying In
Vermillon parish and owned by the
Vermilion Bay company The other
is tract Of $4,000 acres, belonging
to several owners. BY the addition
of these two tracts the big bird refuge
would have an unbroken frontage of
70 miles on the gulf.
Commissioner Alexander believes
that the next year will see the pur-
chase of these two tracts by the state
and their addition to the refuge. II
Is stated that majority of the own
ers of the $4,000 acre tract have
agreed to sell to the state for refuge
purposes at price approximating s.
an acre. This Is virtually gift to
the state of half the value Of the
land.
Mr.. McIlhenny has been called the
| father of wild-life conservation In
the SOUTH" Apparently he deserves
the title. Anyway, 1t was he who in
fluenced Mrs. Sage to make the Marsh
island purchase.
The fiSrt work Of the department
was to eliminate the market hunters,
which was done by means of armed
wardens, authorized as deputy sher-
IFS and marshals, travelling In motor
patrol boats equipped with small rap
id-hre guns. 1t was hard fight
Louisiana has long been the haunt of
swarms of market hunters and plu,
mage hunters. Many battles were
fought between the wardens and the
pOachers. The most sensational DOS.
sibly, was that in which Rene Sau.

with six market hunters. The warden
was shot in the eye and the lung, bu,
