MANNF ED LAUDS
INDIANA FISHING
Says NimrodS From Other
States Come Here.

That Indiana has better fishing
waters than Illinois, Ohio or Ken
lucky is the boast Of Superintendent
George N. Manifold Of the fish and
game division of the State Conserva-
ton Department.
To prove this statement he cites
the fact that residents of these
States annually are in
creasing their fishing activities in
Indiana.
In 1918 only 1876 nonresident IL
censes were taken out, while in 1925
they increased to 1857. Despite
the fact that the price for nonresi'
dents has been raised from 81 to
1925 by the last Legislature, con-
officials feel that the num-
Der will not decrease.
Ice is out Of the northern lakes
early this year and sportsmen al
