MORE LICENSES
LESS GAME

Recent statistics issued by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture present an
anomaly. During the season of 1928
more than 6,450,OO0 hunting licenses
for the taking of wild game were is
sued throughout the United States,
Alaska being included Fees paid for
these licenses amounted to more than
$1,000, 900. In 1867 hunting licenses,
issued numbered only 5,987 sos, and
fees paid totalled S8,155, 535.
With the native game disappearing
in many states hunting licenses in
crease: What's the answer? 1t forms
puzzle for which many solutions are
offered. One is that the increase in
the use of automobiles for outings has
aroused the dormant innate desire of
humanity to hunt-a desire that i'm
pels the autoist to carry along a gun
and hunting license even though he
knows the chances of finding some
thing to shoot are often becoming
more and more limited
Businessmen interested in the sale Of
hunting and fishing equipment agree
that the outdoor trend" of the public,
inspired by the broader use Of auto
mobiles, is responsible to large degree
for the issuance of more hunting
licenses. The chance opportunity to
hunt is in itself an enticement- and
is bringing rapidly to the public de-
sire for restoration of the oldtime con-
ditions when one had only to 60 a
little beyond the back yard gate to
find some kind of game.
This desire is the foundation of the
gigantic conservation movement that
Is sweeping across the country. In
every state where conservation de-
partment has been established" and
provided with suitable funds" the de-
sire to see Nature at its best is in
creased by the activities of these de-
given them in most states is meeting
constantly increased approval and
support Of the citizens.
In most states the Izaak Walton
League chapters are working in har-
mony with the conservation depart
ments. frequently assuming the re-
sponsibility for policing areas and
saving the state such costs. also secur-
ing fish and game breeding areas
which the states departments could
not have obtained without League
support And everywhere such areas
are established tourists visits are In
creasing tourists dollars are being
left behind to the qualification of the
residents Of those localities. Conserva-
ton pays big dividends.

Pay Your Bills Promptly and Aid in
Your Citys Progress and Development

Minnesota's field products are worth
four times that of such states as
Florida, Maryland, Maine and West
Virginia
The combined crops of the sixteen
states amount to only twice the value
Of the field crops Of Minnesota.
The combined crops of Florida, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Massachusetts,, Ne
vada, New Hampshire, New Jersey and
New Mexico are of less value each year
than Minnesota's crop.
In addition to excelling as a field
crop producing region. Minnesota is
also a heavy producer of livestock,
hogs and wool She is first among all
the states in producing butter and a
heavy raiser of eggs and poultry pro-
ducts
According to Mr.. Hotaling Minnesota
has made steady progress In farm
development and has been adding new
farms while other states have suffered
