WALTON COMMISSION

WALTON COMM SSlON
The Wisconsin Conservation Com
mission for the last ten years has put
the Langlade County Gun and Game
Club at the head of the list of clubs
from which it receives the fullest
cooperation The Chairman of the
Commission, Mr.. w. 3. Barber, has
attended several annual banquets Of
the club, given addresses before it,
and is fully cognizant of the splendid
work done in Langlade county in the
interest of game protection and con-
servation.
The officers of the. club are: A. l..
Sohrweide, president; Anton NOBLE,
secretary; c. E. Henshaw, H. A. Kohl
and E. F Schneiter, directors.
Each year the club receives its
full annual quota of fish fry or finger
lings from the Wisconsin Conserva-
ton Commission. Brook trout predomi-
nate, but as Langlade county possess
es more miles OF trout streams than
any other county in the state, the
allotment from the state is not suffi-
scient to stock all the streams. To
care for this deficiency the club early
in 1922 purchased with its own funds
100000 trout eggs from a private
fish hatchery. These eggs are now
being Matched out at the state hatch
cry at st. Croix Falls, Wis. and will
be delivered along with the regular
allotment of the county this next
spring, making about two carloads
Of fingerlings. Individual members Of
the club have also sent in application
for bass fingerlings to the Commits
sioner of Fisheries at Washington, d.
c. All.this gives assurance that fish
ing in Langlade county will get bet
ter from year to year.
Langlade county possesses over
$50 miles of trout streams and one
hundred springfield lakes containing
game fish. Many of these waters have
won national fame for their fishing
resources.
