May Set Up Muskie
Hatchery in State

Park Rapids Successful efforts OF
w. P. Ballard in the propagation OF
muskellunge in the last two years
have led to prospects for the estab-
lishment of a permanent muskie hat
cherry at Billiards. home on Bell Tain
lake, with plans now being present
ed to the conservation commission
calling for an outlay of $4,000 for
this work. The muskellunge lakes OF
Mantrap valley are known far and
wide, but in recent years the muskies
have been so reduced in numbers
that there appears to be danger OF
the complete wiping out of this fish.
First attempts at artificial propoga-
ton were not successful, but the
present experiments Of Mr.. Ballard
give assurance Of success.

CCC Boys Catch and
Tame Year Old Moose

year old moose was accomplished by
Frederick Mason, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mike Mason, Plainview, who is work
ing in a conservation camp. Finding
the young moose in the woods, ap-
parently unafraid of men, Mason took
off his belt and put it around the
moose's neck and called for more
belts from his companions to make a
lead rope, bringing the moose into
camp. About 400 to 500 pounds in
weight and four feet tall, the moose
has become quite a pet for the camp.

DISCUSS
HOMESTEAD PLAN
Extension of Federal Help Is
Suggested by the White
House.

Conferences are being held in ad-
from the White House on a rehabili-
tation program extending subsistence
homestead aid to unemployed veterans
and needy war pensioners.
Following word that the President is
interested in the project as a relief
measure, various proposals were dis
cussed yesterday by Harry L. Hopkins,
relief administrator, and Brig. Gen.
Frank T. Hines, veterans administra-
tor Federal purchase of farm land
and construction of low-cost homes
with garden plots for the use of vet
Grams are included in the plan.
1t was proposed that the Govern
ment be reimbursed out of monthly
veterans pensions. AS in the case of
the general subsistence homesteads
program, it is proposed that the vet
erans' plans be undertaken in an eX-
perimental way.
Developments followed a recent
White House conference between Presl-
dent Roosevelt and Representative
Patman, Democrat, of Texas, who has
been advocating the step and who was
leader in previous fights for pay
ment of a soldiers bonus.
Hopkins has directed Col. Lawrence
Westbrook, chief of the Rural Rehabill-
tation Division of F. E. r. A., to ex-
plore the homestead plan for veterans.
In the Veterans Administration, Gen.
Hines directed DR.. E. G. Dexter, solicl-
tor, to make a study.
1t was estimated there are 100000
veterans who receive an average OF s42
monthly from the Government. With
subsistence homesteads of their own,
financed for easy payments, it was
believed many of these veterans could
find an independent livelihood on the
land.
