fancies that the hunting and fishing
liberties Of 80 years ago represented
the highest good" the report said.
The new day Of conservation is here
in its noontide strength and the de-
partment Is firmly established. 1t
should be evident to even the casual
observer that no backward steps will
be taken and that Texas, with its
frontiers of game, must assume lead
ership rather than trail behind other
states in protective efforts.
Blanket statements as to the in
crease or decrease Of species is diff
ficult but there has been a gradual
increase in certain areas.
There is an eternal triangle Of life
in Texas fauna, the hunter. the pred
atory animal and the climate. The
predatory animal hunts day and
night in both the open and closed
seasons. Adverse climate works not
so much in the destruction Of the
actual supply as in the prevention of
increase. The hunter. with these al
lies, was able to deplete game TO n
low level until law enforcement be-
came effective.
Add to Supply
"A fair increase Of deer, quail and
turkeys in favored portions of the
state has occurred since our report
of q year ago. The largest increase
naturally has occurred on the game
preserves which in extent have now
reached the high mark of 5000, 900
acres. Credit is also given 10 large
ranch owners in the Kerrville region
and IN south Texas, where hunting
has been restricted to a degree con-
sistent with normal increase.

ties, more than have ever been en-
ployed before, have given effective
