FOREWORD.
Interest in and appreciation of the great outdoors was never so widespread and general among Kansas people as now. The wealth of our people has- greatly increased. The automobile has made travel easy and pleasant. More and more we are seeking and en- joying the outdoors. Country clubs with fine golf courses are springing up all over the state. The desire to get out, to get away, is evinced in country homes, summer cottages on lakes and streams, tent dwellers and roadside campers. It is a normal; healthy tend- ency and must be encouraged. Nature is a great solvent, and the best medicine. Much outdoors means health; health means strong bodies and clear minds. Work is important; recreation is necessary. It is one thing to grow old, but quite another thing to grow old gracefully, preserving our proper mental poise and balance. To grow old is inevitable. To remain young in spirit, normal in mind and body, responsive to all the beauties of our natural surroundings, be it song of bird, beauty of cloud or sunrise, stream, lake or land- scape—in short, to live—this is only accomplished by spending a reasonable amount of time, at frequent intervals, in the open. An-
~ nual vacations are well enough, but they can never repair the waste
of daily grind. Change is necessary, as much for the farmer as the shop girl.
It is the business of the Kansas Fish and Game Department to encourage this outdoor tendency in our people by making the out- doors more enjoyable, by making better shooting for the hunter, more and better fishing for the fisher—man or woman. It hopes to establish and maintain public shooting grounds, refuges, resting and nesting places for birds; to foster and establish state parks; to plant and encourage the planting of trees; to keep our streams and waters pure and to assist and encourage the impounding of more water; to prevent unwise drainage of lakes and swamps, that our subterranean water levels may be preserved, and floods prevented. These things and many others this department can and should do. It is to acquaint you with the activities of the department for the past year, to enlist your help and inspire you

KANSAS FISH AND GAME.
BIRDS.
No one knows and very few appreciate the great value of birds. Every- body likes to see birds flitting about. We enjoy their songs and admire their grace and brilliant plumage. We love them. But have you ever attempted to figure out in plain dollars and cents just the actual money value of a bird?
Take the reports of our agricultural department and note the tremendous estimated value of crops destroyed by insect pests, of which birds are the natural enemies, and in many cases the only means of combating them.
The loss to this country through the destructive work of insects has been estimated at from 400 to 800 million dollars a year. The codling moth is believed to damage the apple crop to the extent of twelve million dollars annually. The boll weevil cuts down the value of the cotton crop by fully twenty million dollars.
Birds are nature’s insect regulators. Having the power of flight, they can move easily and quickly—here to-day, fifty or a hundred miles away to- morrow. When for any reason certain insects become excessively numerous, and hence destructive, in any section, birds, attracted by the abundance of food, move quickly to the infested district and nature’s balance is soon re- stored.
“By far the most efficient aids to man in controlling the codling moth are the birds.” (Year Book, U. 8. Department of Agriculture.)
Thirty-six species of birds are known to attack the codling moth. More than fifty species of birds feed upon caterpillars, and thirty-six species live largely upon destructive plant lice.
Prof. Edward Forbush, state ornithologist of Massachusetts, states that a single yellow-throated warbler will consume 10,000 tree lice in a day. A scarlet tanager has been seen to devour gypsy moths at the rate of 35 a minute for 18 minutes.
A pair of birds have been seen to visit their nest 450 times in 11 hours, carrying one or more insects to their young at each visit. The Biological Survey reports finding 60 grasshoppers in the crop of one nighthawk and 500 mosquitoes in another, 30 cutworms in the crop of a blackbird, and 70 canker- worms in the crop of a cedar bird. Two thousand mosquitoes and a large number of house flies were found in the stomach of a martin, thoughtlessly killed by a boy. Consider these facts, and then, even laying aside all senti- ment in the matter, can you ever again harm or molest so useful and necessary an agent as a bird, or permit anyone else to do so?
The hills and valleys of Kansas literally swarm with countless thousands of song and insectivorous birds. Mr. Jean Linsdale, from our State University, and the writer identified sixty-four species of birds here near the hatchery in a few rambles over the country. Mr. Linsdale found ninety-one species in

Atchison county. These were nesting birds—summer dwellers and resident birds. One could find many more in the migrating season.
Kansas people are alive to the great value of our birds and unitedly de- mand their protection—and they are protected. Some communities still have one or two boys who think it smart to shoot birds with a sling shot or to rob a nest occasionally, but their numbers are growing smaller each year. On the whole, our birds are well protected and looked after. Many of our schools have bird days. All give some attention to the study of birds. This depart- ment would like to extend this work in the schools, and would do so if it had means. It is doing something and plans to do more. Kansas teachers are alive to the importance of bird study. They are injecting a lot of it into our schools, and it is having a most beneficial effect. This department has cause to be most grateful to Kansas school teachers.
THE OLD BLACK CROW.
The greatest menace to our birds to-day is none other than the crow. He is a canny bird. His numbers are increasing very fast. Farmers, stockmen and everybody are interested in exterminating the crow. Hawks take only the finished product, so to speak. Crows prey on other birds, from the nest up. They are smart about it and are not easily killed. Not only do they destroy birds’ nests and kill young birds, but they raid the hens’ nests and kill young poultry. Though the Biological Survey thinks otherwise, I still believe they carry hog-cholera germs. Crows will destroy the nests and eggs of every bird they can find. One swallow does not make a spring, but here is an oc- currence I witnessed: Five crows located a setting pheasant. They lighted on the ground near by and walked round and round the nest, kawing and getting closer all the while. At last the enraged pheasant made a rush for one of the crows. Instantly the other four dived into the nest and got an egg. This process would have been continued until all the eggs had been taken, had they not been driven off. They doubtless returned, as a few days later when I visited the nest it was empty. Mr. Wm. Petrie tells me that last year crows destroyed practically all the nests of wild ducks on the salt marshes in Stafford county.
I think it would be good economy for the state to pay a bounty on crows. From information received and from letters coming to this office, I believe our farmers would gladly pay their share if a bounty were placed on crows.
Here is one method said to be very successful in killing crows, and it is good sport. Place a stuffed hawk on a tall pole set in the open near some trees, or on a prominent dead limb of a tree where it may easily be seen. Secrete yourself within shooting distance and begin calling with a “datto” crow call. The crows will attack the hawk as soon as they spy it. If one is killed or wounded they seem to get confused and will not leave, though many are shot. It is worth trying.
MAKING TWO COVEYS OF QUAIL WHERE THERE WAS BUT ONE.
The man who sits down and wishes he were in New York will never get there if he does nothing but wish, and yet it is comparatively an easy thing to go to New York. If he was in dead earnest and wanted to go bad enough to make the necessary effort, without doubt he could accomplish it. Now about
Bulletin No. 7. - 7
what is the first thing a man wishing to go to New York would probably and reasonably do? He would set about earning enough money to pay railroad fare, would he not? And after he had the money he would purchase a ticket on some road that went to New York, don’t you think? But suppose he purchased a ticket to San Francisco? He would be as bad off as though he _ had never started.
Now we all want more quail—farmers, sportsmen, everybody. What are we doing to get them? Wishing, principally. Suppose we actually come to life, get in dead earnest and say, “By the great horn spoon, we are going to have more quail.” Now, then, we have the stage set. Something is going to be actually “did” beside wishing. But what is it? Just what are we going to do?
I have in mind a half section of Kansas land. Just close your eyes a moment and you can see one exactly like it—rolling, some brush, some weeds, a creek, part in cultivation, some timber, some grass. A friend and myself had the exclusive privilege to hunt on this land for several years. When we first hunted it it contained just three coveys of quail; year after year, just three. No matter how many birds we left one year, there were just three coveys the next year. One fall was very dry. Frost came late; the vegetation was rank; no snow. The dogs could not work. We got disgusted and killed very few birds. Later the weather turned bad; big snows came. We thought of our birds and took feed to them. We could find but one large covey. We counted thirty-two birds in it. Doubtless the three had drawn together where most food could be found. We got the feed to them and they were there late in February and we had rosy dreams of lots of birds next year because we had left so many. Very good; what happened? Next year there was Just one covey of birds on that land. Hunt as we would, there was one covey and no more.
Well, what is the lesson? What happened? Several things could have and doubtless did happen. Cold weather and scarcity of food probably drove the three coveys into one, centered on the best feeding ground. We fed them in this place. As food was abundant, they probably moved about very little and flew none. They grew fat and lazy. They have no means of protection but flight. They disliked to fly; they preferred to run a little. They fell easy prey to vermin of all sorts—cats, owls, hawks, foxes, coyotes—all manner of “varmints” that love quail.
But this is not the whole story, nor the point I wish to make. Harking back to the fact that we found just three coveys of quail on this land every year—never any more, no matter how many birds we left for seed. Now think a minute. Haven’t you had the same experience—same number of coveys every year on the same land; maybe one less, but never any more? Why no more? When we left thirty-two birds there did we not have a right to expect sixteen coveys the next year, or twelve, or eight? We cértainly did expect some increase, but did not get it—and why? Because there was cover and feed on that land for only three coveys. That is the reason, and that alone. Now, then, things begin to get elemental and simple. If we want more birds on a given piece of land, what are we to do? Johnny down there in the second grade may answer—plant more cover and feed.

PHEASANTS.
Our pheasants are mostly young birds—the kind we put out for stocking. They are sent out in the fall, about the first of October. At that season there is abundance of insects, seeds and berries of all kinds. These young birds have never known a home. If they are released in suitable cover with abundance of food and water near by they will at once settle down and make a home. I have little faith in old birds as a stocking proposition. They are restless and will not stay where they are put.
We also send out pheasant eggs to those who will rear and liberate the birds. Eggs are sent out in the spring and early summer.
Pheasants reared on the grounds of the State Fish Hatchery.
It must be understood we have no game farm. These birds are hand reared in inclosed pens. We have but very little space available for such work. Had we a half section of land we could easily rear thousands of these birds each year. We are simply doing all we can with the means available.
We never have enough eggs or birds to supply all applicants. This should not deter you from applying for them, if you are interested. We fill applica- tions in order of receipt, all things being equal. Have your application on file; we will get to you some time.

HOW CAN KANSAS BEST PRESERVE WHAT GAME IT HAS AND INCREASE ITS PRESENT SUPPLY?
By Witt1am B. Bouuton, Morristown, N. J.
[Norr.—By rare good fortune I have made the acquaintance and established myself in the good opinion of Mr. William B. Boulton. That Mr. Boulton is a recognized authority on conservation matters is indicated by the fact that he is not only chief conservation commis- sioner of New Jersey, but is also chairman of the National Game Conference. TI hope every Kansan will read and ponder this article by Mr. Boulton. He has said more in these few sentences than I can convey in a whole book. If we would just get a clear conception of what is herein stated and then proceed to put it into operation, Kansas fish and game problems would be solved.—A. C.]
‘
You have asked me to write a short article giving you my opinion as to how Kansas should proceed to conserve what game you have and also how you, may increase your present supply. The tersest statement I could make would be: Plant cover! Kill vermin! Feed in winter! But I am afraid this would lead to so many further questions that I will have to elaborate some- what.
To start with, let me say that the people must be educated to realize the value of game to a community, for game is one of the greatest assets any state may possess.
It would be hard to estimate the number of men who earn their living by manufacturing articles used by the sportsmen, as almost every line of business is benefited by the sportsmen’s trade. Ammunition and guns are but a small part of the gunners’ needs, compared with special footgear, clothing, boats, tents, camping outfits and other necessities. Sportsmen in quest of game also help support the railroads and the automobile industry, and their hotel and restaurant expenditures taken collectively run into large figures.
The breeding of game to provide sport is already an industry in many states, and it should be in every state. Where game is plentiful you will find many men earn their living directly from the game by catering to the needs of the sportsmen, and the food value of game killed each year is sufficiently great to demand that it be properly protected for the sportsmen. Under these circumstances it is easy to convince your population of the money value of game, as all the facts and figures are on your side of the argument.
Kansas is an agricultural state; therefore the farmer must be convinced of the value of the game to him; he must be shown that he can either be the game’s best friend or its worst enemy. For example, I have heard farmers say that the bobwhite quail was of so great a value to them that they would refuse to have one shot upon their farms and that they believed the quail should be put on the song-bird list and protected for all time by law.
This same farmer cultivated his land right up to the fences, clearing every bit of brush and cover from his fields and burning his grassy swales and his pasture land. Now, this man was making his farm a place where no quail could survive. Instead of*being a friend he was the birds’ worst enemy. If there was not a gun manufactured, quail would soon be only a memory if the same conditions existed everywhere.
If this farmer desires really to help the birds he should leave cover to pro-

tect bobwhite from hawks and severe winter weather. He should leave uncut grain for food during the winter and he should allow his birds to be hunted only by men known to be respectors of the law and who could be depended upon not to shoot the coveys down too close.
It may sound paradoxical to say that shooting quail will make more quail, but nevertheless this is true. Ask any farmer if it is not necessary in raising live stock to secure new blood in his herds from time to time. Ask if his poultry business would be successful if he had more cocks than hens, or if he did not every year or so secure birds from a different strain.
These very matters are taken care of when quail are hunted. The male of all birds is the brighter colored, and instinctively the gunner will pick him when a covey rises. Also, the coveys are scattered, and single birds fly too far to get back to their original companions, in which case they join up with the first covey they hear calling. Many instances are on record to prove that where there are two cocks for one hen they are so pugnacious that they will not allow her to set, breaking up the nest in their quarrels.
If Kansas would pass a law allowing the State Game Department to estab- lish a system of small refuges and to plant food thereon, your quail problem would be solved. There are very few farmers who would not be willing to lease gratis to the state two or three acres on his farm that he does not culti- vate for one reason or another. This area could be sown in kafir corn, millet, cane or some other suitable food and not harvested. No shooting should be allowed on such places. In this way they would serve both as winter feeding stations for the birds and also as refuges to which they would fly when pressed too hard.
I have been told that quail are very plentiful in the south and southwestern parts of Kansas, but scarce in other sections. I think the state could trap birds in localities where they are abundant and use them for stocking less fortunate sections of the state. I am of the opinion that if this were done properly it would produce wonderful results. When quail are trapped the whole covey is usually caught, and in such cases a sufficient number of birds should be liberated immediately so that no harm would result to the section from which the birds were being taken.
Kansas should also have a game farm where ring-necked pheasants could be raised and liberated to increase the shooting. While these birds, to my mind, do not compare with the bobwhite quail as a game bird, they furnish splendid sport and are excellent as food.
Above all, you must have an adequate force of wardens to enforce your laws and care for the game. The breeding stock of all game must be pro- tected adequately or you cannot expect to be able to collect the yearly divi- dend. The majority of men, when once they understand the purposes of a game law, will respect it, but you will always find individuals who must be haled before the court and made to realize that law, which is the voice of the majority, must be respected.
Finally, help the little birds by killing down the vermin which prey upon them, such as hawks, owls, foxes, weasels, etc. All of these take a large toll during the year, and there is no doubt in my mind that quail would increase very largely if their enemies were kept in check, besides which the farmer is really benefiting himself by destroying the enemies which prey upon his poultry.

TREES.
[When your hands are idle, plant a tree.]
Kansas will never be all it can be until every quarter section of land in the western half of the state is bordered and crossed with a row of trees. They may never make timber that can be sawed into boards, yet trees can be planted that will be profitable for fence posts, for fuel and for many pur- poses on the farm.
I know of one old Pennsylvania Dutchman who brought a bag of walnuts with him to Kansas. He plowed a furrow and dropped these walnuts into it around the outside of his quarter section of homestead. He did not have enough to go all the way round either. When the war came on he sold the government nearly $7,000 worth of fine walnut timber and had a lot of trees left. ‘Those trees never cost him a cent. Besides he gathered up enough walnuts to supply him for years with what his wife said was the finest’ cook- stove fuel on earth. Such nuts are too valuable to be used for fuel these days. I recently paid a dollar for a rather small bag of them.
But the actual money value of trees so planted is the smallest part of it. Think of the value to our climate, to the fertility of our soil. The breaking up of our surface winds, thus preventing “blowing” of the soil. The increase of rainfall and its absorption into the ground, thus preventing floods and washing of the soil. Consider the added thousands of insect-eating birds such trees will harbor and their great benefit in destroying insect pests of every kind. It is a matter that Kansans cannot longer afford to overlook.
I am not a tree expert, but we have men at our State Agricultural College who are. They can and will gladly tell you what kinds of trees to plant in different sections .of the state. I am certain this information is available; but if not, this department will make thorough investigations and accumulate such information and give it gladly.
One thing I do know about, and that is the sort of trees to plant to attract birds. Every farm should have two or more patches of blackberry briers, common old black currants, sand plums, elder thickets, wild gooseberries, bittersweet, or some other such tangling and bushy shrubs. These should be left year after year and never burned.
As trees you should plant the Russian mulberry, the hackberry, wild cherry, choke cherry, the Norway or sweet cherry, and the Japanese flowering crab. As a nesting place nothing equals our common hedge tree, or Osage orange, and it makes the very best fence posts when cut.
Birds do not crowd around your house and garden eating your fruit be- cause they want to be near you, but because that is the only place on your farm where they can find food and shelter.
Plant some seed-bearing trees and fruit-bearing vines and shruks on the back side of your farm and the birds will stay there and leave your cherries and strawberries alone. Do something for the birds besides curse them and write us for permission to kill them because they eat a cherry or two. They are our best friends; let’s give them a square deal.

KINDS OF TREES TO PLANT.
By ALBert Dickens, State Forester.
“Consider the birds.” It is not entirely new, this notion of yours, but too little thought is given to their welfare in selecting species of forest trees when planting for shade, shelter or satisfaction. So in recommending to you a list of trees for Kansas planters I promise to keep the welfare al the birds more nearly in the front of my mind than ever before.
I have needed some sort of inspiration for this letter I have been delaying, and this noon as I walked home the sun came out after a day’s hiding and I saw perched in the tip top of the tallest one of a block of red cedar the prime favorite of all bird lovers—the cardinal—swelling his little throat with “good cheer,’ and the thought came to me that if Uncle Remus could conduct an election for the favorite tree among our Kansas feathered tribes that “Reddie” would certainly nominate red cedar. And in listing trees that are to be planted for Kansas landscapes, considering birds, I feel inclined to second the nomina- tion. The plant pathologist and horticulturist would hardly recommend red cedar as a species for an orchard windbreak, for the apple rust has its origin upon the red cedar; but in our climate we are not starting any crusade against it, and the long chance is that it will be planted in Kansas so long as we appreciate landscapes and the songs of birds. The spray schedule takes care of the Kansas apple.
The redbird loves the cedar for a nesting tree, as it gives the privacy that nesting birds seek, and the pursuer of small birds is always baffled by the prickly branches in which the pursued takes refuge.
No species excels the cedar in hardiness and adaptability. It is native of every corner of Kansas and throughout the state wherever the surface is sufficiently broken to protect it from fire. It withstands almost any hardship except fire, but the resinous tissues kindle quickly and burn almost instantly. The fruit is eaten by many birds when food is scarce; and as the berries, so called, are retained throughout the winter, the cedar is both bedroom and storeroom for the bird that knows no other home than Kansas. Red cedar grows slowly, but is valuable wood when grown.
All evergreens seem slow in growth, but they are distinctly worth while. They are economical in growth. A large proportion of their tissue is in the central stem or sawlog, and they do not trespass on the territory of the neighboring plants as do most of the rapid-growing species.
As landscape trees they are in high favor and for windbreaks they are un- excelled, as they offer maximum resistance every day in the year. Austrian pine is our favorite, with Scotch pine second. Many birds nest in pine trees, and the seeds in the cones are a source of food in time of scarcity.
As a source of both shelter and food in times of scarcity the elms are to be rated highly. For shade and beauty they are also rated well. Perhaps no species is more generally satisfactory than the white elm for a lawn or street tree. It is a real Kansan, adapting itself to circumstances and protecting itself and the soil it grows in from sunburning. Many people want to head it too high, and the trunk sunburns and the soil scorches and the borers finish it shortly; but given a chance to branch out, it is one of the hardiest of the list.
Bulletin UNOS “72 13
Of course a bird prefers many other kinds of food to elm buds and elm seeds, but the seeds come early, and many birds expand a wrinkled crop with the buds and seeds. The red elm is preferred by the food-hunting bird, but white elm is more commonly found and is a more handsome tree, while for fuel, posts or lumber-the red is superior.
Another member of the same family as the elm—the hackberry—is desirable in every way. Thick foliage and edible seeds, edible for birds and boys at least, the hackberry is worthy a place in any Kansas grove. The questioning child wonders if the “false bird’s nest,” an excrescent growth on small branches, may not be a protection for the little homes hidden among the hackberry leaves. The growth detracts from its appearance, but rarely if ever injures the vigor of the tree.
The cherry grower finds it cheaper to plant some mulberry trees than to let the robins and thrushes collect all their wages from the cherry crop, and the thieving catbird will often leave the strawberry bed when the mulberries ripen. For the same reason the grape grower may well leave the elderberry bushes along the fence row, for the birds that eat worms will claim their dessert later in the season, and elderberries seem to satisfy at least some of the birds. The mulberry furnishes good fuel and fair posts and makes good windbreaks and deserves a place in the grove, but not on the street or near the house. The staminate-flowered (male) mulberry makes a good street tree and fine shade without the messy nuisance of the berries.
For. nesting places many birds choose the thorny trees. A little selection of a nook among the young shoots and the nest is guarded by bayonets that repel the lawless invader. The Osage orange is one of the hardiest of Kansas trees. With frequent and systematic pruning it forms a most excellent hedge. Given space and some thoughtful pruning, it forms a really fine tree, hardy in every way, and one of the most durable and valuable for all sorts of uses, from the plebeian fence post to finish for high-class buildings.
The honey locust is a good tree in many ways—hardy, fairly rapid in growth, and handsome when well grown. It must not be pruned overhigh or the sunscald and borers will shorten its life.
The winter stock of last year’s birds’ nests show that the black locust furnishes apartments for several birds. The raids of the borer make the locust less valuable, but its glory in flower time makes it worth an effort to grow it.
The wild cherry is a good tree, usually bearing large crops of fruit, which ripen in time to help save much better fruit from fruit-loving birds.
The hawthorns are hardy and well suited for any location where a small tree is needed. There are several species and all are good.
Persimmons that have hung on the trees until they are partly dry are eaten by the birds that winter in Kansas. It is a fruit that is increasing in popu- larity, and the tree is hardy, good-looking and well worth planting. »
All the above-mentioned trees are well suited to Kansas conditions and will be found successful in practically all parts of the state in soil at all suited to trees.
For the highest, driest and windiest prairie places of Kansas red cedar, hackberry and Russian olive are probably the hardiest. They can endure hardships, adapt themselves to conditions and dwarf themselves to suit the limitations of food and moisture. In these places the meadow lark and other
14 Fish and Game Department.
grass-nesting birds are about the only feathered neighbors found there the year round.
There are many other trees that are well suited to bottom-land planting in western Kansas. The cottonwood, sycamore, ash, soft maple, and several species of oaks, among them the burr, yellow, pin and shingle oak, succeed probably in the order mentioned.
For the eastern third of Kansas there are a number of species that in alti- tudes above 1,000 feet are not successful to such a degree as to warrant their unreserved recommendation. For eastern Kansas the oaks, hard maples, linden and sycamores are all worth while and deserve planting in proportion as they excel the cheaper and more common trees. These trees give a distinction to property that is not easily estimated. It takes time to grow them, but they are all very much worth while.
The cottonwood is the one tree that grows in almost every locality. Its longevity and size attained varies directly with the soil moisture and plant food. In high, dry places it is ready for the woodpile in ten or twelve years. In moist, loamy soils it increases in size and value for a couple of centuries at least. It is the only species that makes a marketable sawlog in a quarter of a century, or even less. Kansas is one of the few states that is increasing in lumber resources, but with the present increase in wood-using industries more interest must be given to the planting and fostering of trees if the needs for the wood and lumber products continues to be supplied.
WILD FLOWERS.
Kansas is not so fortunate as many states in its wealth of showy and beautiful wild flowers; yet we do have a goodly number. Many of our flowers cannot be of the showy kind, because they must nestle close to the earth to escape the wind. In spring and early summer many people do great harm to our wild flowers and flowering trees. Masses of flowers are gathered, only to be cast aside. Many of our flowers have very delicate reproductive pro- cesses. Taking the bloom means no flower another year in many cases. Some flowers are so lightly rooted that if grasped by the stem and pulled upward the whole plant is lifted out by the roots. Good people thoughtlessly twist and tear whole branches from redbud, haw, alder and such flowering trees, thus leaving a great, ugly scar, destroying the beauty and eyrammeny. of the tree, if not actually killing it.
“Well,” you say, “don’t you want us to gather any flowers at all?” Of course we do; but as:our population increases, waste and uncultivated land decreases in amount, while the automobile carries more and more people into the remotest districts. It means that we must all be more thoughtful and considerate if we are to retain our wild flowers. Take only as many blooms as you can use. Cut them with a knife, or grasp the stem with one hand and pull them with a downward movement and not lift the whole plant out by the roots.
One of the momentous questions before our generations is this: Are the people of one hundred or one thousand years hence to enjoy the flowers, the birds, the trees and animals that we now enjoy? Are we to conserve wild
Bulletin No. 7. 15
life or are we to exterminate it and deprive future generations of what should be one of its richest heritages? Let us so act that we shall not be reproached by those who follow us.
OUR PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL.
When the spawning season is over, one deep, clean pond on the hatchery is opened to the public as a swimming pool. It is very popular with the people, as many as a hundred bathers being in the pool at one time on warm evenings. It seems to disturb the fish in no way, as this pond produced a

wonderful lot of fish, though it was used all summer as a swimming pool. We expect to erect dressing rooms, sand the beach and otherwise make it more attractive. Our idea is that this institution belongs to the people of Kansas and we want them to use it.
USE THE FISH AND GAME DEPARTMENT.
If this department is worth while the people should use it. It can be made distinctly helpful. If it is not so, the governor should look for a capable man to lead it. E
When the writer took charge two and a half years ago we received from three to a dozen letters a day. We now receive from 45 to 175. Telephone and telegraph bills run from $15 to $22 a month.
If you have a pond of never-failing water we want to supply you with fish to stock it. It will be one of the best things you ever did. Write for blank application, fill and return it. The first time we come your way we will bring you fish. It costs you nothing in money; only a little effort.

We also supply game birds and eggs to the limit of our ability. We have no game farm, but we rear some birds—all we can. We buy some—all we have money to buy. If you need birds to get a start, write us. We’ will do what we can for you.
If you have ideas let us have them. Do not think you must always agree with us and be complimentary. Your honest criticism might be worth more to us than praise. We want to be used and useful; otherwise we have no excuse for being. First obey the game laws and insist on others doing so; then use the game department and tell others about us.
Ask us questions. We don’t know it all, but we do know a good deal, and we have exceptional ways of finding out. Maybe we can help you.
TOURIST AND AUTOMOBILE HUNTERS.
We asked the last legislature to pass a law prohibiting the carrying of a loaded shotgun or rifle in a wheeled vehicle on any public road in Kansas by anyone except an officer in the discharge of his duties. The majority of our legislators did not think the law a good one. We are of the opinion that it is sound and should have been enacted. I wish to give just one case in point. A most reliable man, an officeholder, told me this cireamstance, and I have witnessed several very similar occurrences. My friend was driving along a country road in Pratt county. A couple of hundred yards ahead of him was an automobile tourist with tents and bedding tied to the sides of his car; evidently a camping tourist. Suddenly a gun was thrust from the side of the tourist car and a shot fired. The car come to a stop and a man jumped from it. By this time my friend’s car was almost upon him. When he saw the approaching car he sprang back into his own car and “beat it,’ as my friend said. My friend then stopped to see what had been done. At the side of the road lay a dying pheasant hen and in the weeds about her were eight or ten very young pheasants. This man was looking for a supper and he did not care how he got it. Quite possibly he lived in Illinois or Ohio. A farmer’s chicken would have looked good to him. Much of our cover is along the roads. Grain is hauled along them and spilled from the wagons. Our birds congregate along roads and tourists take a heavy toll of them.
HELP YOUR GAME WARDEN.
Hunters should not lose sight of the fact that their future sport depends upon the proper protection of game. We cannot kill all the geese and still have eggs. The game warden has a difficult job and is entitled to and needs the codperation of all true sportsmen. The man who breaks the game laws is robbing the fellow who obeys them. .The violator does not deserve sympathy. Some men must be educated with a club. If you have this kind operating in your community, lend the game warden your assistance in his efforts to bring them to justice. If the average sheriff received no more co- operation from the law-abiding citizens in his community than is generally extended to the game warden, crime would run riot.
Bulletin No. 7. 17
THE GAME HOG.
The game hog is a hunter who knows no such thing as conscience in the shooting of game. He respects not its mating and nesting seasons and is regardless of its scarcity or its struggle for existence. He will kill the full legal bag limit every day he hunts if he can do so, and then probably sneak a few for the dog. He will use any kind of pump or automatic gun, continue shooting as long as the birds are in sight, and he knows no such thing as giving the birds a square deal. He always shoots into the center of a flock or covey in the hope of getting three or four birds at one shot, and is wholly oblivious as to how many birds he cripples. He delights to be photographed with a wagonload of game, and he dearly loves dead birds as a background. He believes in spring shooting, longer open seasons, more game, and can see no reason why all the game in the world should not be killed and marketed.
But the real sportsman who has had a fine day’s outing can fill his day and his soul’s desire with a half dozen birds just as well as twenty-five or fifty. To slaughter a wheelbarrow load of game is a mistaken idea. One live quail on a fence to-day is worth more to humanity than twenty dead ones in a bloody sack.
WANTED—A MAN TO LEAD.
There isn’t a lad but wants to grow Manly and true at heart,
And every lad would like to know The secret we impart.
He doesn’t desire to slack or shirk— Oh, haven’t you heard him plead?
He'll follow a man at play or work, If only the man will lead.
Where are the men to lead to-day, Sparing an hour or two,
Teaching the lad the game to play Just as a man should do?
Village and slums are calling—come, Here are the boys, indeed,
Who can tell what they might become If only the men will lead?
Motor and golf and winter sport Fill up the time a lot,
But wouldn’t you like to feel you’d taught Even a boy a knot?
Country and home depend on you, Character most we need;
How can a lad know what to do If there isn’t a man to lead?
Where are the men to lend a hand? Echo it far and wide— Men who will rise in every land, Bridging the “Great Divide.” Nation and flag and tongue unite Joining each class and creed, Here are the boys who would do right— But where are the men to lead? —Selected.

HOW LONG ANIMALS LIVE.
How long animals live is a question that can be answered only approxi- mately, because of varying conditions. The data here given reflect the ideas of practical men verified by scientific observation:
Day fly, 24 hours; May bug, 6 weeks; May bug (larve), 3 years; butterfly, 2 months; flea, 2 months; fly, 3 to 4 months; mosquito, 6 months; ant, 1 year; grasshopper, 1 year; bee, 1 year; hare, 6 to 10 years; rabbit, 8 years; sheep, 8 to 10 years; dog, 10 to 12 years; viper, 10 years; nightingale, 12 years; wolf, 12 to 15 years; cat, 12 to 15 years; frog, 15 years; bison, 15 years; canary, 15 to 20 years; toad, 20 years; goldfinch, 18 years; ox, 25 years; horse, 25 to 30 years; eagle, 30 years; stag, 30 to 40 years; swan, 35 to 40 years; camel, 35 to 40 years; orangoutang, 40 years; salamander, 40 years; heron, 50 years; lion, 50 years; bear, 50 years; raven, 80 years; pike, 100 years; carp, 100 years; elephant, 100 years; sturgeon, 100 vears; parrot, 100 years; turtle, 100 years.
STATE GAME REFUGES.
The last legislature provided for the establishment of state game refuges by voluntary agreement between the owners of lands and the State Fish and Game Denartment. Such refuges must contain not less than 120 acres or over 640 acres. They may not be nearer than two miles of each other at their nearest limits. The procedure is very simple. The landowner simply places his land in the hands of the State Fish and Game Department for game purposes only. He agrees that neither he nor any member of his family shall hunt birds on the land, nor will he permit others to do so, for a period of five years; which agreement may be renewed by consent of both parties. The state posts the land against trespass and assists in policing the same. It supplies birds for brood purposes to the limit of its ability. and of such kinds as it deems best suited. The owner agrees to look after and protect the birds, kill hawks and predatory animals, plant food and cover and attend to the welfare of the birds generally. It is hoped by this plan to create game sanctu- aries on which the birds are never molested and from which they will eventu- ally move to the surrounding country, thus gradually restocking the state.
It is obvious that this is a slow and quite expensive proposition for the department. The markers alone for 160 acres of land cost about $14. Birds, whether we rear them or buy them, are very expensive. Thus far we have established fourteen of these refuges, for twelve of which game birds have been supplied. Letters just received in answer to inquiries sent out indicate the plan is working well thus far. All are enthusiastic about the matter and practically all the birds liberated are staying right on the land where released. This is phenomenal and is accounted for by the great care and interest taken by the owners. It also confirms the belief of the department that only young birds are suitable for stocking purposes. Only two of the birds sent out last fall have been reported killed, and they by that animal we always preach against—the cat.
I cannot say too much in commendation of the fine spirit of codperation
Bulletin No. 7. 19
given by the landowners who have declared their land state refuges. They have cheerfully complied with every demand of the department, and I can see no reason why this shall not become one of the greatest benefits to the game birds of Kansas.
We shall continue to establish these refuges just as fast as we have means to do so. If you have made application to have your land declared a refuge and it has not been done, do not be discouraged; we simply haven’t money to
buy more posters at this time. If your place has been declared a refuge and you have received no birds, do not get impatient; we haven't got the birds. We will get to you just as soon as we can.
THE FUR TRADE AND OUR WILD ANIMALS.
We recommended to our last !egislature further protection to fur-bearing animals and a license fee for trapping. The legislature thought well of the matter, and accordingly shortened our trapping season fifteen days and pro- vided a dollar per year trapper’s license fee. Events have proven the wisdom of these acts.
Fur is never prime in Kansas before December 1, and seldom at that time. It is well known that there is an annual loss of 25 per cent of our fur catch the country over on account of unprime hides. In 1919 one of the employees
20 Fish and Game Department.
here on the hatchery sold 84 rat skins caught in November for $72, and 56 caught the last of January, 1920, brought him over $160.
A St. Louis fur buyer ran a full-page advertisement in some of our largest daily papers advising trappers not to trap before the fur was prime. Ad- vertisements of this kind are not unusual; scarcely a fur dealer’s price list that does not contain admonition against trapping too early, and likewise against taking fur too late in the spring.
Below is a sample clipped from a price list that came to hand only the other day:
PROTECT FUR BEARERS DURING BREEDING SEASON.
As soon as the breeding season commences in your section, we advise you, in the interest of the future welfare of the trapping industry, to pull up your traps and use your influence to get every other trapper you know to do likewise.
Every time you destroy a female animal during the breeding season you also destroy the young she would bring forth if she were allowed to live. One female destroyed during the breeding period may destroy a whole family of animals that would give you good returns next season.
Figure it out on a profit basis and you will never allow yourself to “kill the goose that lays the golden egg.” Trap all you wish now, but pull up your traps as soon as the breeding season commences in your section.
Yet we have no end of trouble keeping boys from trapping before the season opens and getting justices of the peace to fine them for destroying their own property. Lots of good people can see no reason why the boys should not be allowed to do as they please. Trap early, when fur is worth- less, and the animal is only killed in vain; trap late, when the animal is soon to become a mother, and thus exterminate the “goose that lays the golden egg.”
The fur of our state is of considerable value. Ask the dealer in your town. He probably pays out $20,000 to $30,000 each year for fur. A farmer in one of the central counties of the state wrote me that he had trapped and sold off his farm enough fur to pay the original purchase price. Even at the prevailing moderate prices, there will be over $500 worth of fur sold off the hatchery grounds this year. This is a crop that does not have to be planted or cultivated. Like the rains, it descends from heaven. It is all profit. Is it conceivable that we are so blind to our best interest that we will not observe reasonable and proper regulations to perpetuate this important and profitable asset? And it will become more and more valuable as the years go by. A few years ago rat skins sold for six to ten cents each. In 1919 they sold as high as $5.50. They now sell at from $1 to $1.50. If our people would only understand that regulations regarding the taking of fur is not to repress or interfere with anyone in the exercise of any rights, but solely in the interest of preserving and continuing this great natural asset for the more profitable use of all our people, they certainly would assume a different attitude toward this department and its efforts in this matter.
Tn a recent bulletin of the New York Zoological Society, Doctor Hornaday has again rendered the cause of wild life signal service by drawing attention to the fast-approaching extinction of many fur-bearing animals, unless drastic steps are taken to stem the ruinous process of slaughter.
Bulletin No. 7. 21
After the opening sentences of the bulletin the writer expresses himself as follows:
“While there is life there is hope. We are making the present effort in the hope that some remnants at least of the glorious Age of Mammals may be allowed to survive. But unless immediate steps are taken we believe that the fur-bearing animals of the world at large are doomed. The craze for “fur,” for legitimate and illegitimate purposes; the insatiable demands of the trappers and fur dealers, and the mad rush at the counter for fur and pseudo-fur, con- stitute three irresistible forces with which no outside reform can cope and no outside conservation campaign can arrest. Even the present much-reduced prices are highly destructive, and if they continue—as they surely will—then must we bid a long farewell to all the wild mammals whose skins ean, by any stretch of the human imagination, be regarded as furnishing wearable fur.”
ENFORCING GAME LAWS BY CONFISCATION.
The accompanying picture is taken from the Minnesota Conservationist. It is reproduced here to impress you with the fact that in Minnesota and many other states people are not only arrested and fined for violating the game and fish laws, but their guns, nets, togs, boats and other devices used in violating the law are confiscated and sold for the benefit of the fish and game department.
If our hunters stood not only to be fined five dollars, but to lose a fifty- dollar gun as well, if caught violating the game laws, they would probably think twice before violating them.
It may well be mentioned in passing that Minnesota is an older state than Kansas, yet every year thousands of deer, elk, moose, bear and ruffed grouse are legally killed in Minnesota. There is not a wild deer in the state of Kansas to-day. Of our native game we are stripped down to rabbits, quail and prairie chicken. Does this not prove that we have been too lax in the matter of protective game laws or of enforcing what laws we have, or both?

SPORTSMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS.
It must be admitted that in two years I have accomplished nothing worth while in getting our sportsmen to organize. Hither I have not gone about it in the right way or our people are not ready for it. It is the one big thing needful to better game conditions in Kansas. I have repeatedly used all the arguments in its favor that I can think of, but have accomplished almost nothing. Results are so meager that they are not worth stating. However, a few counties have organized and are much pleased with results. I know how the matter can be effected, and intend to put it over. So far I have had neither the time nor the means to devote to it, but did expect vastly better results from the efforts put forth than has been attained. Better shooting, proper laws and rigid enforcement of the same are matters the shooters will have to attend to for themselves. There is no letting “George” do it. Either we shall do it for ourselves or it will not be done. Conditions are vastly better in Kansas than ever before, but there is still great room for improve- ment. I intend to make a determined effort to organize the shooters of this state, and from an entirely different angle, but must get ready for the cam- paign before it can be launched. In the meantime this department stands ready to assist and further all efforts to organize.
BE ALIVE.
What would we not give to be real men and real women? At best the most of us are only half awake. Scientists tell us that there are millions of singing, chirping insects whose notes our ears are not attuned to catch; grand choruses of harmony are going on all about us of which we know nothing. Without the aid of the microscope and the telescope we should miss much of the beauty of many flowers and animal organisms and would have never known of the existence of solar systems much vaster than our own. These distant and illusive things we shall for the most part miss and must forego. But how many of us are really and truly alive to all the easily grasped beauty and harmony all about us? We are partially asleep. We are not awake to all the things that are easily within our range of common and ordinary comprehension.
What would we not give to be so keenly alive as was Theodore Roosevelt. I do not bring Mr. Roosevelt into this chapter to start an argument nor yet with apology. I wish for a moment to consider Roosevelt the man. Great political and economic questions surged his mind and occupied his attention. War, statesmanship, oratory, literature, finance and religion—he challenged all these. His coolness in the face of a charging African lion was the wonder and admiration of his companions, and yet the song of that most shy and illusive of birds, the hermit thrush, was well known to him. He most minutely describes the bird and its song. He had no more of time than you or I. He labored no harder and was not more wearied than the ordinary man at the day’s end. He was just alive, that is all. John Burroughs says of him, “He usually saw the bird or heard its note as quickly as I did, and I had been
Bulletin Neo. 7. 23
teaching my eye and ear the trick of it for over fifty years.” It is said that upon his arrival in England on returning from his African hunt he was asked what could be done for him, and he asked that some naturalist be found to accompany him on a ramble through England to identify the native English birds for him.
The most expert bird observer in all England was assigned as his com- panion, but it was soon found that Mr. Roosevelt knew the birds much better by sight than his English companion. He did not know their notes and calls, for he had never heard them, but all that anyone could get from books,he had gotten. He could and did turn from the stress, the heat, the calumny and vituperation of a great political convention, in which his idols and ideas were shattered, to spend half a night listening to the song of a mocking bird. And here is what he says about it:
“The moonlight was shining in through the open window and the mocking bird was already in the magnolia. The great tree was bathed in a flood of shining silver. I could see each twig and mark every action of the singer, who was pouring forth such a rapture of ringing melody as I have never listened to before or since. Sometimes he would perch motionless for many minutes, his body quivering and thrilling with the outpour of music. Then he would drop softly from twig to twig until the lowest limb was reached, when he would rise, fluttering and leaping through the branches, his song never ceasing for an instant, until he reached the summit of the tree and launched into the warm, scent-laden air, floating in spirals, with outspread wings, until, as if spent, he sank gently back into the tree and down through the branches, while his song rose into an ecstasy of ardor and passion.
“His voice rang like a clarionet, in rich, full tones, and his executions cov- ered the widest possible compass; theme followed theme, a torrent of music, a swelling tide of harmony, in which scarcely any two bars were alike. I stayed till midnight listening to him; he was singing when I went to sleep.
He was still singing when I woke a couple of hours later; he sang through the livelong night.”
The ordinary run of us go forth into the fields with dog and gun, or to the streams and lakes with rod and line, with scant time for any but the business immediately in hand. We have no ear for the songs of birds or eye for the natural beauties all about us. Yet more grace may be learned from a flitting bird and more melody realized from the song of a lark than from all the schools of colorful dancing and all the man-made instruments of all the orchestras on earth.
VACATIONS AND EFFICIENCY.
The best of indoor conditions are not sufficient to keep a man in physical and mental trim year in and year out. The chief reason is that a change of environment, a departure from the routine of labor, is essential to the well- being of every man who works. I am a business man, not a physiologist or a pathologist, and I am not going to undertake a scientific explanation of the manner in which a change of scene, of interest and activity affects the bodies and minds of men. I simply know it to be a fact that outdoor recreation re- news that mysterious something which we call vitality, and I know the differ- ence between an office or a shop snappy with vital force and one with an atmosphere of stale and bilious incompetence. Here is a point for every em-
24 Fish and Game Department.
ployer to remember: Impetus is lent to any business by minds animated by a purpose to attain results in which they are interested, and the more such minds you have concentrated on the work in your plant the better results. If there is only one such mind, and that in the office of the head of the concern, you have a one-man business, and a one-man business has no more place in the twentieth century than a flintlock musket. Therefore plan to have a working force equipped not only with capable arms and legs, but with clear heads.
Scientists tell us that when the human body is worked beyond the hmits of normal endurance there are formed what are called the toxins of fatigue— literally poisons generated by broken-down tissues. A medical man tells me that there is a sound scientific basis for the rough-and-ready form of speech which describes a resolute man as having “guts.” An overworked, run-down, dispirited man hasn’t any that are in proper shape, for the doctor says that when one is in that condition the large intestine goes on a strike and diffuses poison all through the system. A vacation—that is, a change of activities, not merely loafing—restores bodily and mental snap in such cases quicker than anything else. . . ., Just why this is, in scientific detail, we can leave to the doctors, but that it is true is common knowledge. Just as all who have done manual labor know what a relief it is to use a different set of muscles when one set has grown tired, so all the faculties of an active man are renewed and refreshed by change—John Ballard in Outers-Recreation.
THREE WISE MEN AND A GUIDE.
(Adapted from Field and Stream.) “THE TRUE SPORTSMAN.”
First Wise Man: “No man is a true lover of nature and the chase unless every fiber of his being protests against the wanton destruction of game. They are God’s creatures and He loves them. They are our prey and we hunt them. That is only natural, because we are but human. Yet we should have progressed so far that our souls and our common sense cry out against needless slaughter and waste. It is but a sign of our civilization that we should conserve our game so that we have good shooting always. A man who does not protest vigorously against every outrage on our wild life, who does not protest at unjust laws, who does not fight against merciless destruction of cover and cynical disregard of closed seasons, who does not put his entire strength into the fight for conservation, is not a sportsman. That is what he must be judged by.”
Seconp Wise Man: “I can’t agree with you entirely. I think conservation of our game should be entirely automatic. The great thing in hunting or fishing is enjoyment, isn’t it? It is—and to make true sportsmen we should educate them to true enjoyment. I do not know whether I am a good sports- man or not. I cannot be the judge. I try to be. I have gone out to the woods or the brookside and I have found that mere hunting or fishing is not. everything. I look at the hills and the trees and the clear water. I am at peace with the world. It is the contentment of nature, freedom from all cares, the solitude that calms a mind which has been grappling for a year with
{
ld ; b, }
Bulletin No. 7. 25 the anxious cares of life. I do not think I am needlessly wasteful. In fact, my wife accuses me of never having furnished her with a game dinner. I think if we could educate our people to a true enjoyment of nature that we would never need to worry about our game covers and the wild life that is in them.
Tuirp Wis— Man: “My father taught me just one thing, but there are many angles to it. And that thing is, ‘pit your skill and experience and strength alone against your quarry.’ In a word, ‘take no unfair advantage.’ Isn’t it true? If you have a colt you want to break—how I hate that word— if you have a colt you want to train to your wishes, is it fair to use a heavy saddle and a cruel curbed bit to accomplish it? Isn’t it far better to pit your own wit against his instincts, to teach him that you are his friend, that you and he can have wonderful times together if only he will consent to be friendly? I tell you, if you use that method and train that colt to love you and consent to serve you through something else besides fear, you have won for yourself the greatest pleasure in life. ¥
“When you go afield it is the same. There are those who go equipped for murder, who return loaded down with a great, selfish burden of game. It is kill, kill, kill, while God’s great sun looks down. Compare such work as that with a kindly, decent sportsman in the field. He does not return to be photo- graphed with a grape arbor full of dead birds, but he has pleasant recollections, incidents to cherish in memory’s brain cells. It is the same way with old Izaak Walton’s disciples. Compare the angler who uses a four-ounce fly rod with his cousin who uses a pole and a triple hook. Why, there is no com- parison. The one’ is murder, the other is true sportsmanship.”
Tue Guwe: “If ye’ll pardon me, I think ye’re all a bit wrong about it, though ye are partways right, too. The man who cannot shoot too many birds or animals, the man who cannot use cruel guns and cruel hooks, the man who cannot take a wrong advantage of a dumb animal, be it horse or deer or hare or dog or partridge, is the true sportsman. Ye can find many such, gentlemen. Yes, it is the thing within that cannot that makes a true sportsman.”
LIFE.
Let me but live my life from year to year With forward face and unreluctant soul, Not hurrying to nor turning from the goal, Not mourning for the things that disappear In the dim past, nor holding back in fear From what the future veils; but with a whole And happy heart that pays its toll To youth and age and travels on with cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill or down, O’er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy, Still seeking what I sought when but a boy— New friendship, high adventure and a crown. My heart will keep the courage of the quest, And hope the road’s last turn will be the best.
—Henry Van Dyke.

IF A SPORTSMAN TRUE YOU’D BE, LISTEN CAREFULLY TO ME.
Never, never let your gun Pointed be at any one; That it may unloaded be Matters not the least to me.
When a hedge or fence you cross, Though of time it cause a loss, From your gun the cartridge take For the greater safety sake.
If ’twixt you and neighboring gun Bird may fly, or beast may run, Let this maxim e’er be thine, Follow not across the line.
You may kill, or you may miss, But at all times think of this: All the pheasants ever bred Won't repay for one man dead. J. EK. GuADSTONE,

rISH FROM A HOME-MADE LAKE.
Herewith are pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Watkins, of Cherryvale, Kan., together with baby Watkins; also a 44%4-pound bass caught by Mrs. Watkins and an 8'%-pound eatfish caught by Ray. The fish were caught from a made lake, which at one time was the city water supply of Cherryvale. The lake has been regularly stocked by this department. Young Watkins says in his
Mrs. Ray Watkins. Ray Watkins and Baby Watkins.
letter that himself and wife had taken an expensive fishing trip to Colorado, where they caught nothing. After returning home they decided to waste a little time at the home lake, with the result shown. He says that many fine fish are caught from the lake. Ray is a son of Senator F. M. Watkins, of Montgomery county, so he has real sporting blood, and from the interest in that fish shown by baby Watkins, Ray and his wife will soon have to move over and make room for a third angler in that boat.
It simply shows what can be accomplished by intelligent use of the means at hand. There could be thousands of such lakes in Kansas, all yielding abundance of sport and good food. This department gladly supplies ample fish for stocking without cost to anyone.
The Cherryvale lake is also one of the best ducking grounds in the state.

REARING CHANNEL CATFISH.
The Kansas State Hatchery seems to be the first to produce channel cat- fish by cultural methods. Little is known of the reproductive habits of this most desirable fish. What was thought to have been known seems to have been all wrong. By close observation and a fortunate circumstance we hit upon a plan that seems to be successful with this fish. We have not gone far enough with the matter to be able to give authoritative, detailed information, and do not wish to promulgate premature conclusions. To anyone interested we shall be glad to give all the information at hand. It is most probable that within a few vears we shall be able to produce this fine fish as eneily and in as good numbers as bass.
FISH LADDERS.
Kansas laws, like those of most other states, provide that all dams across running streams shall be provided with fish ladders or fishways. This department has blueprints and specifications for building such ladders and will gladly supply them when asked.
We receive many complaints of dams without fishways and petitions asking that persons and companies be compelled to comply with our law. We ad- vise all parties building new dams to incorporate fish ladders therein. We have not compelled their installation in dams already constructed, for the reason that we are not at all certain that fish will use the ways when installed, and we dislike to place a needless expense or burden on anyone. I am unable to get authentic information that fish do use to any extent any of the fishways constructed.
In an actual test covering a thirty-day period, night. and day, at the Keokuk dam across the Mississippi river last spring, at the time when fish are supposed to run upstream, not one single game fish went up the ladder, and. only one or two of any kind. Yet this fishway is the last word in con- struction and cost thousands of dollars.
Mr. Buller, for thirty-two years a fish culturist in Pennsylvania, made thorough tests of fishways installed to facilitate the shad run in some of the streams of that state during the time when the run was at its height, and though the shad were literally piled up below the dam, and the test was ex- tended over the whole spawning period, only one or two shad came up the ladder. Such instances can be continued almost without number; but all point to the same conclusion, namely, that fish will not use such devices.
Kansas streams all have periods of great flood water, during which the dams are entirely overflowed and covered. Fish can then run at will. Also, our streams are mostly shallow. Dams impound the water, making deep, quiet pools for fish to live in and shallow margins to spawn. I am of the opinion that most dams in Kansas are a decided benefit to the streams as concerns the fish; that there are many more fish in the waters impounded by the dam, and in the stream far above the dam, than there would be if the dam were not there; that such waters serve as a breeding and feeding place

HARVESTING THE CROP. .
This picture gives an idea of the vegetation necessary for a good brood pond. From this half-acre pond, with abundance of moss, as shown, 35,000 bass were taken. Had it been a “clean” pond, with no moss or bottom vege- tation, it would produce from none to a couple of thousand at best.
After you have made a pond get some moss and other aquatic plants grow- ing in it. These can be found in almost any old slough.

for the fish, and that many more ascend the stream from such waters than would ever come up from below were there no dam there.
It is a question how many fish run up a stream anyway. That they do seek shallow water to deposit their eggs we know, but most observant men now are inclining to the belief that, generally speaking, the pronounced move ment of fish is downstream.

DISTRIBUTION OF FISH.
Size and kinds considered, few state hatcheries supply more fish than the Kansas State Fish Hatchery. Certain it is that we do produce a wonderful lot of fine fish-—enough to abundantly stock all the waters of the state. We should have more water, and can easily have it. More good dams should be placed across worthless draws and sloughs. Practically every farmer could have abundance of fine food fish the year round by constructing a good dam and covering otherwise worthless land with water.
It should be a good dam, however. A fiimsy dam is time and money wasted. We gladly send literature and instructions for building dams.
Use the Fish and Game Department. Its output is free. It belongs to you; why not make use of it? Those who know the department best think the most of it. Men who use it once continue to use it. Perhaps you are overlooking a good thing. We made one trip with the state fish car into the eastern part of the state and delivered 105 cans of fish to 51 applicants, when every single applicant met the car and got his fish. And this, too, when roads were very muddy. These men had used the department before. They had got fish before and knew their value. If you have a pond of an acre of two, clean it out, fix it up, make it five feet deep, and build a good spillway. The spillway is the weak place in most ponds. It should be wide enough to care for a cloudburst. It is the unusual thing that always happens; unexpected things cause most of our troubles. No use to put fish in a mudhole, but you can make a real lake of most mudholes.
When you want something or want to know something, write to us; maybe
we can help you.

These fish were of our native kinds, 7. e., bass, blue gill, crappie, white perch, catfish and sunfish, and except where the term “fry” is used were one, two and three years old. The fry were bass only.
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Our slogan has ever been, “Save wild life by education,’ and we still think wild life will be in no danger of extermination when all our people are brought to a realization of its beauty, its value, its very great help. Once put it in the heart and mind of the boy that birds are his best friends, that in destroy- ing them beyond reasonable limits he is not only harming the birds but injur- ing himself, and you need no warden to watch that boy. But until vastly more of our people have this realization, strong-arm methods must be em- ployed. Many “game hogs” are still among us. They are confined to no one class or calling. Many farmers as well as city dwellers can be honestly so denominated, and as long as we have this class in considerable numbers it will be necessary to make arrests for violations of the game laws. No other argument appeals to some people.
38 Fish and Game Department.
We said in our “Foreword” to this bulletin that one object in issuing it is to acquaint you with our activities during the past year. It is, therefore, that you may know how much and what we are doing that I append here- with a tabulation of arrests, fines and convictions, together with the names of the wardens making the arrests and the persons arrested, for the months of October, November and December, 1921.
No vindictive motive incites this recital. It is given rather in sadness that so many offenders against our game have been found. It is given that you may know the facts. This policy of arresting game-law violators will be con- tinued and even enlarged. I hope this list will have a deterrent effect, causing men to hesitate to take unfair and unlawful advantage of our birds. We cannot remedy an evil condition by simply passing a law against its abuse. Laws, however good they may be, accomplish nothing unless enforced.
PROSECUTIONS FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE GAME LAWS Durine Octoser, NovEMBER AND DeceMper, 1921.

. FINALLY.
Signs multiply that at last our peoples generally realize the necessity of doing something to conserve and increase our game supply”
The instinct to kill is a primitive one in man—as thoroughly and deeply embedded in his nature as the instinct to mate and reproduce his kind. We cannot by law take from or destroy this instinct in man, even were it wise io do so. Man will kill, but experience proves that he will be regulated in his killing by wise laws honestly and persistently administered. The taking of game and fish, therefore, must be regulated. Since this is true, why not make our regulations wise, just and reasonable? Kansas people have not hesitated to lead in other matters; why tolerate half-way methods in conserving our wild life? Its recreational value alone is incalculable. This is a most oppor- tune time to adopt proper methods. Our game is on the increase. With wise laws honestly enforced we can have good hunting and fishing in Kansas for years to come. Let’s do it.
If we are to ask Kansans to hunt and fish in Kansas, we must have
something for them to shoot and catch.
