What's With the Bass?

John Fox, who operates a
bait store in Frederick, is assist
ing the Maryland Game and In
land Fish Commission in deter
mining how many bass are be-
ing caught since the opening of
the year. The answers so far
are surprising to some and re-
vealing.
Just Ga bass have been
caught that Fox is aware of.
OF these fish, only four were
smallmouth, the rest big
mouths. While this is not sur
prising to good crappie fisher
men, who fish during the cold
months, it causes comment
among bass anglers.
All the fish were taken on

The new state boating act re-
Gently passed by the legislature
has created many questions
among boaters and fishermen.
The final rules and regulations
governing the operation and
safety will not be established
until the Department of Tide
water Fisheries and the Mary
land Game and Inland Fisheries
have jointly approved regula-
tons for their respective dis
trictS.
Here are, however, answers
to some of the questions water
men have been asking.
The license will be issued at
the Annapolis office of the De-
partment of Tidewater Fisher
les, this organization handling
it. The Inland Fish Commits
sion will only be charged with
enforcement.
An unlicensed boat or craft
will have to conform to all such
safety regulations as are estab-
lished and adopted by the two
agencies.
The law becomes effective on
June l, 1860.
It is the boat that must be
numbered, not the motor. If a
man has two boats and uses a
motor on either one of them he
must number the boats he uses
the motor upon.
Any boat having motor on
1t of more than seven and half
horsepower will have to be
numbered. If the combined
horsepower of two motors ex-
ceeds seven and half horse.
power, he must license the boat
also. For instance, if the fish
erman would put two five
horsepower motors on the boat,
he would be exceeding the seven
and half horsepower limit.
The Department of Tidewater
Fisheries will enforce the regu-
lations on the tidewaters of
Maryland, and the Maryland
Game and Inland Fish Commits
sion will operate on all fresh
waters. No provisions have been
made to authorize any other
agency in the state to enforce
this law.

sey have not passed a State
Boating Act, meaning that the

Opening lead: Deuce of clubs.
West opens the singleton
club, and East wins with the
ace. If East is frightened of
his partner he returns a club
for West to ruff.
This pleases West. He wanted
a run, and he got it. He has
had the pleasure of showing he
Is the boss Of the partnership.
This also pleases South, for
he makes his contract. East
gets a trick with the ace of
hearts, but West is then out of
trumps and cannot ruff again.
South eventually discards three
diamonds on dummy's long
clubs.
Different Boss
The result is different If East
Is boss Of the partnership. He
wins the first trick with the ace
of clubs but decides not to re-
turn a club. This is partly to
show West he can't expect to
have things his way.
So East returns a diamond,
South must take the flnesse,
for he cannot discard on dunn
my's clubs until he has man
aged to draw trumps. West wins
with the king Of diamonds and
returns a diamond.
Now South leads q trump,
and East wins with the ace.
The time has come to lead a
club, and West ruffs. West then
leads another diamond, and
East ruffs.
The contract is down two,
and everybody is happy except
South. What about North? He's
busy scolding his partner for
failing to make the contract
somehow; after all, North also
has to show who is boss Of the
partnership.
incidentally. you might like
East's shift to a diamond at
the second trick quite apart
from the practice Of BOSNIAN
ship. East knows about the
singleton but foresees that he
can give his partner only one
ruff. He must set up another
trick, and only q diamond lead
can possibly produce another
defensive trick.

1859 Elk Harvest
Highest On Record

The elk harvest by Treasure
state hunters in 1859 was the high
est on record according to fig
ures released this week by the
state fish and game department.
The more than $4,000 elk har-
vested exceeded previous highs in
1855 and 1851.
This yearly increase in harvest
and satisfactory calf crops demon
Strates that u elk herds r in a
vigorous and productive condition,
Walter j. Everin, department
director, said.
"Even more significant is the
fact that only two percent of the
1859 harvest came from the North
ern Yellowstone elk herd while
35 percent of the 1855 harvest
came from Yellowstone" the
director stated.
This reflects the benefits derived
from the program of sound game
management supported by the
progressive sportsmen of Montana
The consistent increase in harvest
of non-park herds demonstrates
the wisdom of developing many
smaller herds based on range with
good food supplies instead of q
few large herds or overStocRed
ranges. Everin also said small
productive herds scattered over
a larger area r more compatible
with the livestock industry.
The harvest figures are tabulat-
ed annually from hunter question
naires. Director Everin voiced
thanks for the cooperation of al
sportsmen who promptly returned
the questionnaires. This is one
way sportsmen can actively helT
to ~perpetuate the superb hunting
they now enjoy.

Deer Harvest
Second Only
To Record High

Montana hunters took 10000
deer in 1859 for one of the best
deer season on record in the state,
according to figures released from
the fish and game department
This harvest was second only to
the record high in 1857.
Hunter success in Montana this
past season was perhaps the high
est in the nation with 102 deer
harvested for every 100 hunters
afield. Montana deer hunters
have enjoyed a harvest of 100000
or more deer for the past five
years, Walter j. Everin, depart
ment director, said. He emphasized
the fact that harvests of this size
are not a temporary matter. The
progressive seasons, with healthy,
productive herds on good ranges,
will stabilize the harvest at OF
above the present level.
Field surveys show that deer
herds and deer food supplies are
generally in better shape. There
was still some winter loss in areas
where numbers of deer exceed
food supplies. In most areas, the
mild winter, the good condition
of deer and food supplies should
mean excellent prospects for mex
season.
eve believe Montana will east.

as the top big game state in thu

Expect Increase
Of Fishermen In
State This Year

An estimated number of ESQ.,
900 or more fishermen r expect
ed to try their luck on lakes,
streams and rivers of Montana this
coming season.. General fishing
season will open May %. Fishing
prospects appear bright with bet
ter management methods, add
ton of new waters and hberalized
regulations all pointing to a shorter
time between bites.
An increase in both resident and
nonresident fishing licenses Is
anticipated over the 1859 season.
In 1859 there were '232,731 persons
holding paid licenses to fish Mon
tana waters for sport and recrea-
ton
All holders of the 1859 Montana
resident $500 Class A resident bird
and fish licenses are reminded to
retain this particular license in
order to apply for a similar one on
May l. Persons having their 1909
licenses need only present 1t In
order to purchase the 1860 issue.
Fishermen wishing to fish in year
round open waters must have a
new license May 1. All fishermen
must have them in possession
when general fishing season opens
May %.
Fishing is free to legal residents
of Montana who are 70 years of
age or over. They need only carry
proof of age. The privilege was
given to this age group through a
law enacted by the 1857 legisla-
ture. Youngsters under Is years OF
age also are allowed to fish state
waters without a license.
Each year increasing numbers
of Americans take advantage OF
the unparalleled fun and relaxa-
ton afforded by Americas most
popular outdoor family sport. Ac-
cording to the Sport Fishing In
stitute in Washington, DC. the
ranks of the rod-and-line weilderS
in the nation have increased stead
lily over the past decade at a rate
of nearly four per cent annually.

IL your tackle box has been sitting

Whea cleaning your tackle box be
sure to use 9 commercial cleaner.

Replace all damaged rod guides. A

line. Also check the windings on your
rod to see that they are not coming
loose.
These are the things that I've been

Department Gets
AppOrtiOnment OF
Federal Aid Moneys

Montana received $847.43 as a
partial apportionment of fiscal
year 1860 federal aid funds for
state fish and wildlife restoration
programs, w. J. Everin, fish and
game director, announced. The
funds became available for ex-
penditure March 16. The amount
received previously which was
available on July 1 of last year
include $473,192.84 for wildlife and
$123,173.59 for fisheries work.
Under the federal aid fish and
wildlife restoration program, states
expend their own funds and are
then reimbursed up to 75% of the
cost by the federal government.
Federal aid funds are derived from
an excise tax on sporting guns and
ammunition and on sport fishing
rods, reels, creels and artificial
lures. Foreign projects are also
taxed, Everi9 stated.
Distribution to all states is made
on a formula based on the number
of license holders in a state anc
