Two important resolutions were
adopted by the Wisconsin Game Pro

The second resolution indorses the
project for the purchase of the NORTH

port Of the association. It urges each
local club to cooperate with the locas

financial support and instructs the
directors and delegates to make ii
their duty to see that every local club
becomes an enthusiastic worker in the
movement.
The association also Endorsed limi-
tation of 20 pounds as the amount OF
fish that nonresidents may take home
after fishing in Wisconsin lakes.
Owing to the reported numbers of
does and fawns conveyed by automo-
biles in the night time from the places
where they were killed, the associa

game laws to authorize game war
dens to search autos travelling by
night
In his annual address, Judge A. X.
Owen, president, reviewed the accom-.
plishments of the association in pre-
I ceding years in the way of desirable
Legislation. He mentioned the North
ern Lakes park, bill for which pass
ed the legislature and was vetoed by
the governor, as one of the most i'm
portant projects indorsed by the
association, and expressed the hope
that some means would be found to
preserve that area for the public. He
strongly urged consideration and sup,
port of broad policies, policies that
show vision and which are construc-
tive in purpose.
President owen stated that Mil
waukeel newspaper is engaged in a
broad and tar-reacning campaign in
the interest of outdoor life IN Wiscon-
sin. It is doing a great work, he de-
clared by consistently urging the
adoption of an adequate state forestry
policy, the creation of state parks, the
preservation of the wild life of the
state, the conservation of game, pro
vision for better fishing through more
intensive and extensive propagation
of fry with a view to keeping all
streams and lakes constantly stocked,
and measures to increase the tourist
trade It is a work that is being done
veryably and intelligently, he said and
it is of interest and benefit to every
lover Of life out of doors and of great
advantage to the state.
Among resolutions adopted was one
favoring changes in the open season
for cartridges, rabbits and squirrels.
The open seasons desired by the asso-
citation are: Partridge, Oct. 10 to II;
rabbit, Oct. 10 to Jan. Is; squirrel,
Oct. 10 to Jan. Is. The bag limit for
these varieties of game would be, five

Resolutions advocate a 500 fine
for illegal deer hunting, instead of $50
dog license law to permit the re-
moval of the collar while the dog is
hunting; oppose the establishment Of
private fish hatcheries except where
the hatchery is entirely artificial and
is outside the existing channel of the
stream; indorse the project for federal
public shooting grounds and wild life
refugees to protect migratory birds: op-
pose the sale of game fish or animals
captured in the state; indorse the
proposed federal fish rescue station
in Wisconsin; and recommend that,
for a period of three years beginning
Jan. /, 1922, the conservation com
mission desist from the practice of
contracting with commercial fisher
men for the removal of rough fish,
which is condemned as detrimental to
game fish. In case removal is necess-
airy, it is suggested that the conserva-
ton commission do the work Re-
