CONSERVATION JUMBLE

FRIDAY OF last week the Baltimore
Sun said editorially with reference to
conservation matters in Maryland:
"On August the United States Soil
Conservation Service turned over to
the State 33,825 acres of submarginal
land in Garrett county for reforesta-
ton and to aid in preserving wild life.
On the same day the Federal agency
also turned over to the State an adj
ditional 1900 acres in Garrett county
for an outdoor laboratory for research,
investigation and demonstration pur-
poses in biological sciences, engineer
ing, forestry and wild life conserva-
ton.
son August IS it was announced
that four State-owned hatcheries were
preparing to release 1900 game
birds Last Monday a carefully pre-
pared report was issued revealing the
need for soil-erosian-control pro-
gram for the Burnt Mills reservoir
watershed near Silver Spring, Mont
gomery county. And on Tuesday Gov
ernor O'Conor waded out into the
Patuxent River and freed fifty young
diamond-back terrapins.
There can thus be no denial Of the
fact that a many-sided effort is being
made to conserve and to expand the
States natural resources. Nearly
every State department has hand IN
the effort. The Soil Conservation Ser
vice gave the large Garrett county
tract to the State Forestry Depart
ment 1t turned the l 800 acres over to
the University of Maryland. The four
hatcheries preparing to release the
game birds are operated by the new
State Game and Inland Fish Commits
sion. The report on the Burnt Mills
watershed was made by Mr.. o. C..
Bruce, Maryland coordinator for the
Soil Conservation Service and was is
sued at College Park. The terrapin re-
leased by Mr.. O'Conor came from the
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory.
which is under the newly reorganized
State Conservation Commission.
1.-THE State Game and Inland Fish
Commission is an independent agency.
So also is the State Conservation Com
mission. The State Forestry Depart
ment is entirely independent of the two
commissions but is associated with
the University of Maryland, And 1t
also must be remembered that in mat
tiers of stream pollution the State
Health Department, another indepen-
dent agency, plays part.
"All this makes it reasonably clear
that the effort to conserve and to eX-
pand the States natural resources is
being made without coordination,
Problems concerning reforestatlon,
soil erosion, the sitting up of streams,
rivers and the bay itself, the propa-
cation in their natural environments
of fresh and salt water life and game
fall into one pattern or framework. To
be attacked successfully they must be-
attacked with full understanding Of
their INTERPOLATION.
"This form of attack has never been
made in Maryland. Only few months
have elapsed since Governor O'Conor
and the Legislature turned down a
bill to bring all conservation activities
under one directing agency. Forum
ately, a greater number of people are
coming to realize the Importance OF
conservation and to appreciate the
fact that Maryland's present conserva-
ton methods are hopelessly made
quate."

SPORTSMEN TO SEE NEW
FILM ON ely CASTING"
2-Reel Picture To Be Shown At
Meeting Monday, August rs

Lets Go Fishing" a new two-reel
sound motion picture starring Tony
Ossetta, U. S. professional all-round
bait-fly-casting champion, will be
shown to members and guests of the
Garrett County Sportsmen's Associa-
ton at their annual meeting, August
%, at Table Rock Inn, on Route so, "a
500 o'clock following a banquet at
which 200 or more are expected.
This was announced today by H. c..
Riggs, president of the Sportsmen's
Association, who disclosed that 16
MN. print of the film for the special
showing is being obtained from the
Detroit headquarters Of the Fisher
Body Division of General Motors.
Described as an important contribu-
ton to fishing lore by conservation
authorities and others who have
viewed it Lets Go Fishing" pre-
sents a comprehensive lesson in the
art of fishing and casting, and encour-
aging participation in the sport and
emphasizing the basic rules every true
fisherman is willing to observe in the
interest of its preservation, according
to Mr.. Riggs, who states that the film
is completely devoid of advertising
save for the credit titles.
Accetts's unquesioned skill with the
rod and reel is established at the start
of the film when he stands behind the
goal line a tone end of a foot ball
field and casts a plug over the other,
a distance of at least 40 yards. His
unofficial casting record, set two years
ago at West Palm Beach, is 435 feet.
After few tricks of this sort, Ted
Husing, who does the narration, ac-
knowledges the champions ability on
dry land, but asks the pertinent ques-
ton as to whether or not he can catch
fish. The scene then shifts to an in
land lake, with Tony playing the part
of both champion and John j. Dub. The
difficulties he encounters as the latter
provide the comic relief.
There follows discussion of the
proper type of tackle, the method of
holding the rod in the hand, the posi-
ton of tn ethumb, that Of the arm, the
all important wrist action and Other
factors that play part in the art of
casting as Tony illustrates the right
and wrong methods in his dual role.
The necessity of keeping the bait
moving, or striking back, and of main
tanning a taunt line at all times after
the fish has been hooked, likewise are
touched upon.
The film ends with the advice to fish
in weeds and ruhes along shore, or
near the boat landing, because, accord
ing to the champion, few people do,
For this purpose, he urges the use
of a single NEEDLESS lure and shows
that he can vene cast into the branches
of a tree without snagging this type
of bait.
After the picture the members and
guests will have opportunity to hear
interesting discussions relatives tc
local hunting and fishing problems and
also hear from the State Game War
den and new Commissioner.
Quite a number of reservations are
being made by the ladies and they are
assured Of a warm welcome at the
meeting, it was stated

STATE HOG PRODUCTION
DUE FOR AN INCREASE

Hog production in Montana is due
for an increase, the bureau of agri-
cultural economics predicted.
Good feed crops in 1888 are respon-
sible for starting Montana on the
Comeback trail" in pork production,
Jay G. Diamond, senior statistician for
the bureau of agricultural economics,
said.
He reported that a 81 percent in
crease in hogs in this state in the past
year probably marks the beginning of
a return to production more in line
with that of the pre-droutl years In
Montana when the 1928-1932 average
was about 389, 900 head"
The states hog population in 1888
stood at 10000, the report showed, or
an increase of 81 percent over the
1887 total of 10000
Favorable feed crop production in
1888 will result in increased borrowings
for the spring of about 46 percent,
based on the indications of reports
received from farmers who expect to
farrow 10000 sowS next spring. In 1888
only $4,000 sows we're narrowed and in
1897 the narrowing total was only
ii 900 head.
