have Endorsed the bill with equal
vigor.
The State maintains a muscal-
longe hatchery at Bemus Point on
Chautauqua Lake.
Ed Kemper, representing the
Potomac Anglers Association, be.
fore the House committee on ,
bill to establish the upper Mis-
sissippi river wild life and fish
refuge, said in part:
am making this statement on
behalf Of the Potomac Anglers A..
ISOLATION, composed Of anglers IN
the District of Columbia, Maryland,
and Virginia. The association IL,
one OF the largest of it's kind in
the Eastern States and represents
the sentiment of the outdoor fra.
ternity in this section.
We are for this bill unanimously
for the 101 reasons for its enact.
ment which have been given at
these hearings.
We hold one special point Of
view which has not been accented,
NAAO PO4AAN OA VAC" VI IA0 dIktSkGE WHO
lives in the central Eastern States
and finds his recreation in fishing
for black bass Our streams, the
Susquehanna, the Potomac, the
Shenandoah, and the Rappahan.
mock, are being fished out. Why?
Because there are more and more
bass fishermen each year and TO
adequate, reliable source from
which small bass can be obtained
for restocking purposes. The nat.
ural increase of the bass in these
streams has reached the point, un.
der the present-day popularity of
bass fishing, where the bass are
barely able to perpetuate theru-
selves, and there is. no annual
surplus 2 for the sportsmen. This
can be overcome almost immedi.
ately If our streams are restockcd
each year with reasonable guam.
titles Of lingering bass from 3 to
6 inches in length.
We can not obtain such finger
lings except in minute quantities
from the United States Fish Com.
mission, or from any Of the neaTss
by State hatcherieS because their
joint production i'm this section is
GOCduy 1uaU6Quat0s
| After investigation. we are con-
WINGED that the creation Of a greaE
refuge on the upper Mississippi
river. with its many natural bass
hatcheries, would so largely in.
crease the supply Of small fish for
| stocking purposes, on a national
basis, that the benefits would ex.
tend to our part of the country.
We believe that in a short
period Of years, if this natural
breeding ground is saved from ex-
ploitation and intelligently devel-
oped, that our needs for restock-
ing purposes can be supplied either
direct from the Mississippi or by
releasing money and small bass at
present unavailable to this section
! because of the insistent demand Of
all States for small. bass.
We therefore beg of the commit
tee to report this bill favorably
and thereby help the anglers OF the
Eastern States to restore their de-
pleted rivers with black bass. The
men and women of the outdoor
America would be intensely CRATE
full to Congress for such legislation
| at this session.

Another good lure for the long.

that red predomlnates, in fact, the
redder the better. Now, from the
sportsmen's point Of view, use

An international crOw-shOOting
contest, open to every citizen
Of the United States and Canada
and staged for the purpose OF
helping to lessen the number of
these predatory enemies Of game
and useful birds and animals,
will be started today. It. is
planned to have the contest rum
three months. Prizes have been
arranged for amounting to $500.
Sportsmen, dealers in sporting
supplies and clubs in all parts of
the country are back Of the con-
test and it is hoped that through
its agency millions Of game birds
and animals may escape the depre.
cations of the crow. Nearly every
community in the North American
continent has during recent years
found itself the victim of the dam.
age wrought by this bird. Game
wardens, naturalists and sportsmen
have made an intensive study of its
habits and have checked its depre.
dationg. The crow does some good
at times by the number Of grubs
he eats. but his destruction of<he
! eggs and young Of other birds De.
creases the number of these useful
| species which, If allowed to escape
| him, would be potential consumers
Of millions of insects and of i'm.
mense help to farmers.
Recently a canvas was taken in
Pennsylvania Of the damage &C
tually done by the crow. Eyewit.
nesses reported that he was guilty
of practically every crime in animal
life from picking the eyes out OF
young lambs to robbing nests and
destroying the eggs and young,
killing rabbits, and destroying fruit
| and crops.
The contest will be divided into
two classes. one devoted to ind.
vidual shooters and the other ia
team scores. The prizes will be
in the form of merchandise to be
obtained from local dealers. There
will be 70 awards to individuals and
21O team trophies.
The prOpriety Of selling Cha.l.

There are those who contend
that this species of fish should be

The season thus ended has been
one Of the most successful the

so. From the opening bill last

the theater's management has
maintained standard In offer

scouting Tor new screen play
ers, just as baseball clubs send
agents into the bushes for
promising diamond talent, is
practice which I feel confident
will be adopted by motion picture
companies within a few years.
To me 1t represents the only
practical way Of filling the de-
mand for new faces for the silent
drama.
For a moment let US consider
the method of the baseball scout.
During the ball-playing season he
makes the rounds Of the smaller
leagues. He is usually an ex-star
himself and so he knows stellar
ability when Il comes to his at.
tenti0n. Every year he picks out
several promising youngsters and
sends them to his clubs training
camp for trial. II the young
candidate for fast time shows mp
well, he is kept. Otherwise he
goes home. It costs him nothing.
would suggest that motion
picture organization try the same
plan. Their scouts would be
clever casting directions, veteran
stars OF good discernment or even
prominent directors. They would
survey performers In small-town
stock companies or even church,
school and college entertainments.
In every city the motion picture
scout would advertise his pres
ence and invite screen aspirants
to come for Interviews and local,
camera tests.
Finds" would be sent to Holly
wood for the same kind Of tryout
given young bali players.
Some Of the scouts selections
might fail, but II each scout
pulled only one jewel out OF the
dust heap in a whole year / feel
that the expense Of his mainten.
ance would be easily justified.
Producing organizations are on
the lookout for new faces, but 1t
is the rare exception who can earn
