Walton Club Writes
About Jackson Hole
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
During the course of u campaign
to raise funds to alleviate the period
cal depletion through starvation of
the elk herd of Jackson's Hole, we
have observed a certain amount of
criticism in the west which is due to
the fact that western newspapers and
others perhaps do not understand the
objects of the Izaak Walton League
in carrying on this project.
Our immediate interest lies in OBJ
tanning 5000 acres of hay lands ad-
joining the present elk refuge of 81
90 acres maintained by the United
State. Biological Survey near the
town of jackson. The purpose of the
acquisition of this land is to provide
more range and more hay for the elk.
Title of the land will be held by the
Walton League or its assigns and
will not be withdrawn from tax lists.
1t is the opinion of the League,
however, that the entire Jackson's
Hole area should be turned over to
recreational purposes.
In view of the fact that this is per-
haps the greatest scenic, r~ecreational
and wild life region in the United
States, and that it is admittedly not
a success as a grazing OF farming
area, / think there should be no graz
ing or farming in Jackson's Hole.
i do not mean that there should be
any "freeze out" of the settlers. They
must be adequately paid for their land
and holdings. Since the settlers in
the Hole are far from prosperous and
are exceedingly anxious to sell out,
any move along the above lines will
be welcome to them. Also any such
move would be to the financial bene-
fit of all Wyoming because of the re-
sultant tourist influx.
The Hole was made only for wild
things-as a great wild life area, and
l think it should be set aside and pre-
served forever as a great r%ecreational
center. l do not mean that hunting
or fishing or trapping should be stop
ped.
The Walton League recently caus-
ed the setting aside of 800 miles of
Upper Missouri River lands as a SINH
liar area. This region permits hunt
ing, fishing and outdoor sports, at the
same time giving the government su-
pervision over the area to the end that
outdoor recreation shall be its prin-
cipal or only purpose.
As 500 as the 5000 acres in Jack
sons Hole have been purchased, the
Walton League will be in a position
to cause a bill to be introduced in
Congress to create a ~recreational area
of the entire Hole, or to take other
steps toward this end.
How should this be done? We are
very anxious to get the opinion of the
Wyoming people on this matter. 1t
seems to be the almost unanimous
Judgment of those who have spent
some time in Jackson's Hole that the
Teton mountains should become a
part of Yellowstone Park. Do you
think this done? Do you think it
should all be a national park, or do
you think that one Of it should be a
national park?
Do you agree with the Walton
League that the Jackson's Hole
try should be developed along recrea-

Furnish Fuel to Keep
Fowls Warm in Winter

Hens have more work TO do In order
to lay eggs In winter than any other
time OF year For one thing, feed
must furnish fuel for keeping them
warm. TO manufacture whites, yoiks
and shells Of eggs requires a healthy
body supplied with certain food ele-
ments which hens naturally pick up in
the spring and summer.
One OF these important food eIe-
ments or rather a number Of them have
been found to be contained In butter
milk and similar food elements are
easy to supply in the laying mash by
the addition Of 10 per cent or more Of
dried buttermilk.
A ration consisting OF % pounds
wheat bran, % pounds standard mid
dllngs, 30 pounds cornmeal. 8 pounds
bonemeaI and - pounds dried butter
milk has given Hne results. In feed.

Clover Will Do Well if
Given Real Good Chance

Every farmer likes 10 look at q
good field OF clover, especially on bis
own farm. Cider men tell us Of the
time when clover grew naturally and
all that was necessary for success
ful ''catch" was just to SOW the seed.
But many years Of cropping have
brought about far-reacblng changes In
the soil. Lime IL continually getting
away IN the drainage water. IA crops
sold on the farm, and IN. the bones
OF animals Phosphorus-neyer very
plentiful even In virgin sOils-has
been reduced by cropping and ~ five
stock until today It Is the limiting
element IN most soils
With these factors In mind. II IL not
hard to see why clover fails so often,
for clover needs lots Of lime. and II
never does well unless plenty OF phos-
Dhorus is present. To be sure. many
lther reasons are often given fOr

"It'll be an awful shock to her"
