trout were released in Turkey creeH.
Gave creek and Fuckers canyon last
Sunday by A. E. Mann, deputy gamS
warden. and his assistants, Mann
reported Twelve thousand OF the
small fish were released in each OF
The streams.
It is quite possible that large
number of Rainbow trout will be
put in the same creeks in the neal
future, Mann said.
Because the fish are now small
and will be too small to furnlsn
much meat if caught, Deputy Mann
requests that all sportsmen be sporCS-
n2anlike enough to refrain catching
them until they have had an oppor-
tunity to grow and multiply III
numbers. He explained that 1t IS
for the benefit of Cochise county
that the fish are being planted III
the streams. and that it also is Tor
the benefit of local people to give
the new fish time to grow and IN
crease before they are caught.
Thirty-seven wild turkeys and y
pheasants were released in the Chir-
icahua mountains last year and are
already being killed by unsportsnaaE-
like hunters, Mann reported. Fe

wishing to notify him OF law in
