Municipal Forests.

Every municipality in the coun-
try should have a public forest.
There is no doubt about this.
Many eastern towns and cities are
doing it, and finding that it pays
not only as a playground, but eco
nomically. 1t is a splendid idea.
The Chicago county forest is an
example of the way it can be hand
led by large city. The forest is a
great asset to Chicago. 1t is com
paratively simple for smaller places
to have forests. And don't forget
that such forests pay. The people
of the Germans pay no taxes; the
town forests provide enough reve-
nue. to cover them.

Ducks Are Curious.

Here's a note of interest to the
present day duck hunter who goes
to great lengths to dress himself
in cloth which matches his sur
roundings, and to avoid showing
even the smallest speck Of white or
of any color other than brown. It's
from an old account of duck hunt
ing on the Potomac river near
Washington:
THE canvas-back is often shot
from behind blinds of brush, which
conceal the sportsman, in the midst
of their feeding ground. There is
practice, however, of tolling them
in, as it is called, by shaking a
colored handkerchief tied to the
branch Of a decayed tree. On what
propensity Of the bird the success
Of this manoeuvre is founded, it
would be difficult to say. There is
no doubt Of the fact, however, that
they are thus decoyed within gun
shot. 1t is related of an old sports
man on the Potomac, that a long
queue Of red hair, which he wore in
a brush, and shook over his
shoulder, which served the purpose
admirably WE'LL

Small Bass.

I have known Of lakes in which
the bass were all, uniformly, of a
certain small size. So, perhaps,
have you. Maybe it's your favorite
bass lake. Here's hint from Rob-
ert Page Lincoln, in Outing"
"Inbreeding of bass is account
able for the production of fish Of a
certain small length. Only by mat
ing these small bass with larger
bass from other waters can you ex-
pect to increase the length of the
bass in these out-of-the-way lakes.
Autumn is the time to thus stock
these lakes. Simply catch the fish
with a fly and spinner so that 1t
will be caught in the lip, have a
tub Of water in the boat and place
them in that. When you have
enough, convey them as soon as
possible (and without much hand
ling), to the lake you wish to
stock"

Horn Blowing.

We all like to elbow our own
horns. 1t is human nature to en-
Joy singing our own praises. The
shrinking violet type is rare.
But if oyerdone, it gets to be a
bore. There are folks who forget
that if they deserve to have nice
things said about them, somebody
is saying them.
Commendable deeds seldom go
unnoticed. When it may seem
sometimes that enough praise is
not bestowed, just remember that
if we were all engaged in footing

would be no time left to "whoop it
up" for other deserving ones.

RattIesnake Farm Nuisance.

State officials have been appealed
to by residents of the neighborhood
of Kohler, Sheboygan county, Wis,
in an attempt to curb the rattle
snake breeding activities of DIR.
Frederick Eigenberger who oper-
ates a rattlesnake farm in the
vicinity.
Residents of the neighborhood
claim that the snake farm enclos-
ures are insecure and that the poi
sonous reptiles are overrunning the
countryside. During the last three
weeks eleven rattlesnakes have
been killed in the vicinity of the
snake farm and two were killed
last Saturday. Henry Gruebner,
deputy state conservation commits
sioner has made an inspection of
the neighborhood and has sent a
report to Elmer S. Hall, state con-
servation commissioner. Mr. Hall
has requested an opinion from At
torney General Herman L. Ekern
as to the powers of the conserva-
ton commission in interfering with
the conduct of snake farms. Wit

here?"
The soul of Henry Hanson Of
Hanson's Squirrel Lake Resort. a
dozen miles west of Minocoua. was
1ulI OF the spirit Of conservation of
wild life.
We need lot of advanced legis.
latlon and we need it quickly" he
declared explosively. I'VE need a
36-lnch limit on muskellunge, 49,
inch limit on bass, and l0-inch
hmlt on pike. Why those limits?
It's because fish under those sizes
are not mature enough to propa-
gate. It's silly for the state to null
tlply hatcheries and plant fry and
let them grow just little less than
big enough to propagate. Every
llsh planted in our waters ought to
be protected until it has had
chance to reproduce itself. We
ought to have a bag limit Of five a
day on bass. That's enough for one
fisherman to take in a day. WHY?
Because five mature bass is all an
average family can eat in a single
day and we ought not to let
fisherman take more game fish
than he and his family can use.
Close Deer Season Forever
Wisconsin ought to close the
deer hunting season forever. A
live deer in the woods, on the trails
at the waters edge, is worth more
to the state as a specimen to be
snapped with a camera than as a
carcass to be shipped to big city
as meat for carousals. Let's close
the season for hunting deer for
several years if not forever.
The state rates its dairy indus
try at the top. That's measuring
it in money. The tourist industry
is already rated as second. If they
will give us protection on our wild
life, we'll have the tourist business
far in the lead within five years.
And getting people out in this
country means more than mere
money.
I'VE ought to have game protec-
tion laws uniform all over the
state. It's ridiculous to permit one
thing in one. county and forbid it
in the next. It's hard to under
stand how they can make laws like
that.
Our system Of distribution of
fish fry is wrong. There's too
much pull and politics in it. I've
had an application in for federal
fry for three years, and they al
ways say my application is on file
and will be handled in order, but I
learn Of others who have political
drag getting prompt action on the
application for fry.
"The Mississippi river valley is
the great natural fish hatchery of
the United States. That area ought
to be developed as the nations fish
propagation plant, and it can be
done with comparatively little cost
if done in connection with the fish
rescue work that is already going
on.
I'VE can learn about conserva-
ton from Pennsylvania and sew
eral other states. Ten years ago
Pennsylvania had no wild life to
speak Of. Last year Pennsylvania
produced more wild life than any
other state"

Those bitches AGAIN.

Coming home from a business
meeting at Wisconsin Rapids last
Sunday evening we came across an
autoist between Merrill and Wau-
sau which had skidded on the slip
perry road and had wound up in
one Of Wisconsin's copyrighted,
man-killing, auto-smashing, drain
age bitches on the side of the road.
The man was travelling at slow
speed, but the slippery road and
passing cars had crowded him to
the side too far and his car just
naturally slid into the ditch, no
harm done to either car or occu-
pants, fortunately.
1t was necessary to get aid from
ia farmer in the person of a good
husky team to pull him out.
If the ditch had been of proper
depth or had the road been crowned
sufficiently which would obviate
the necessity OF such caverns, the
man would have pulled out on his
own power.

that time of Wisconsin's system of
