SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a. (UP)
The biggest sports business in the
world is not baseball, football or
boxing-it is hunting and fishing.
There are more participants in
field and stream play than in any
other sport and the state fish and
game commissions Of the west are
preparing for the greatest on
slaught in history on what remains
of the nations wildlife and fish.
Immediately after World War I
the sale of hunting and fishing Ii
censes climbed 80 per cent through
out the country. The experts pre-

Montana. Idaho, oregon, Wash

and Arizona of the far western
states will get more than their
share of this business because most
of the few primitive areas re-

However, they all arc being handi-

ANY swamp will be acceptable to
this gay little singer whose range is
Eastern North America to the plains
and north to Newfoundland and
La abrador.
Whether the chosen swamp be
inland or close to the ocean, there
is always an abundance of seeds of
the aquatic plants and sedges to
satisfy the sparrow's appetite.
When the winters are mild. the
birds are seen in the cattail marshes
along the coast of Southern New
England and Long Island. Their
song resembles that of the chipping
sparrow, but is much sWeeter, with
a distainct metallic tone.
This sparrow is 5s4 inches long.
The upper parts are brown, streaked
with black, with underparts of gray
