cfest Reports Show That the Animal
Is Net Likely to Become Extinct,
at Any Rate.

The fear that existed not long ago
est the native buffalo would soon be.
come extinct is dispeled by Il report Of
The American Bison society, which
states that there were $685. wild and
tame buffalo In the United States In
January, 1920. This is an increase Of
about 800 per cent since 1908, n which
year there were l,ll6 wild ana trme
buffalo in this country.
OF the nine ;oyernment-owned herds,
two of the largest under the care of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture are located in the Wichita nation.
al game preserve, Oklahoma, and on
the national bison range at Dixon,
Mont. The herd on the Wichita pre-
serve now numbers l5l, including 2S
calves of this year. In uis herd four
bulls and - cows are ten years OF age
or over and one COW is tWenty-nine
years old. The 10 animals that con-
sttuted the original Wichita herd came
from The New York Geological park.
1t Is planned this year to dispose of
some Of The surplus buffalo In the gov
ernment herds in accordance with the
provisions made by the 1919 approprla-
tlonal bill for their care. Public parks
and municipalities are the largest pa
irons, BY distributing the animals
over the country, II disease or mis-
fortune oyertakes the main herds, there
still will be stock left with which
groups could be built up again.
