eliops. SoiiiJS. wUicIi i'or flavor are the 

 equal of any which inn he made from 

 meats or oysters, are made from the heads 

 and trimmings ordinarily considered as 

 heing only fit for the garbage can. 



Thirty-four varieties of fish, nol iu- 

 clnding salmon and halibut, have been 

 used in the demonstrations. Thus, it has 

 been shown that a housewife can cook 

 fisli any day in the month, if she wishes. 

 and not have the same kind twice. Of 

 these, the most popular were small sole, 

 skate, sableiish. mackerel, kingfish. yellow- 

 tail, shark, shad, rockcod and salmon milts. 

 Tlie price of these fish ranges from o to lo 

 cents per pound, and nmny hundreds of 

 women were .surj.rised to find a number of 

 them the.v preferred to even salmon or 

 halibut, which cost from 2') to 40 cents 

 per pound. 



Needless to say. tliesc demonstrations 

 have proved very |)opular with house- 

 wives, and have added materially in in- 

 creasing the demand for Honnder. shark, 

 skate, squid, sablefish and other low-priced 

 fishery products of the California markets. 



INCREASED CONSUMPTION OF FISH 

 NECESSARY. 



Increasing the con.siunijtion of H>h if 

 far more urgent today than during war 

 times. There is now nt> submarine men- 

 ace; there are more ships and there ar* 

 20(>.<X;0.(X)f> people who nuist be fed 11 

 they are to be saved from starvation. 

 Every ton of nonperishablc gcjods possible 

 nuist 1)0 sent to Europe. The use of 

 fresh fish releases easily-sliipped meat 

 [trodncts for ex|iortation. 



There is absolutely no limit to tlie 

 amount of fish which is now waiting in 

 the ocean, and more are growing to sup- 

 ply our needs. The people of California 

 have responded to every call made on them 

 thus far. and we urge that they con- 

 tinue to .show their patriotism and hu- 

 manitarianism, by a still greater use of 

 fresh fish. 



NOTES ON THE NEW GAME REFUGES. 

 The following notes relative to the 

 recently-formed game refuges have been 

 culled from forest officers" reports for 

 1!)17. Apparentl.y, the new refuges are 

 filling the place for which tlicx' were set 

 aside, 



All refuges in California are created 

 under the districting act and so must be 

 designated as a "fish and game district." 

 Each refuge is lettered with the nmnber 

 of the main game districts of the state 

 in which the refuge is situated prefixed 

 to it. 



Fish and (Jauie District 1-A. h.cated in 

 the Klamath National Forest, is admira- 

 bly siriiatctl for the imrpose for wliicli 

 it \\;is withdrawn, being a natural breed- 

 ing ground. It co\'ers an area of about 

 one township and varies in elevation from 

 about l.TOO feet at the Klamath Uiver 

 to about T,(lHO feet at the highest point. 

 thus giving l)oth winter and summer feed- 

 ing ground. The general exposure of the 

 entire area is southwestern, which makes 

 it the very best from a climatic stand- 

 point. 'I'here is also oiu' of the largest 

 salt licks known near the center of this 

 refuge. 



When tlie refuge was first created there 

 was nuich oiniosition to it. but lately the 

 sentiment has been more favorable. 



Fish and (Jame Districts 1-P> and 1-C 

 n Modoc Comity are ideal breeding places 

 or game and there is al)solutely no doubt 

 s to the wisdom of the move in having 

 hese jireas set aside. The j)eoi)le, as a 

 .hole, are strongly in favor of them. 



Fish and Game Districts l-I and 1-J. 

 n the Tahoe and El Dorado National 

 '^orests. have not l)een in existence long 

 nougii to note any change in game cou- 

 liticns. While the p'l'ople most affected 

 ucei)t the establishment of the districts 

 s a matter of law. some criticism is 

 oiced relative to the location. Why was 

 t not k>cate(l "soincnvhere else" is the 

 sual conunent. This attitude will grad- 

 ally disappear after a time if the dis- 

 ricts receive i>roper administration. 



The peo])le all seem to think that the 

 Chimney Meadow Kefuge (Fish and 

 jame District 1-J-) will be of great value 

 ,:o the deer as it is the wintering grounds 

 for all the deer in tin- Cannell Meadow- 

 District. Thos. Siuitii and John Johnson 

 claim that they counted T.-t deer in one 

 band last spring in Long \'alley, which 

 is a part of this new refuge. There are 

 a great number of hunters from Los 

 Angeles and the Mojave Desert that hunt 

 in this proposed refuge, and it will require 

 a regular paid game warden in that vicin- 

 ity to properly administer the refuge. 



Fish and Game District 2-A covers a 

 fine piece of deer country, having both 

 sinnmer and winter range. The estal>- 

 lishment of the refuge was very well 

 received l)y the public, and it is believed 

 that very little hunting has been done 

 within its boundaries. Considerable com- 

 plaint was made by hunters and others. 

 I)ecause the boiuidaries of the refuge were 

 not posted. This should surely be done 

 before the opening of the next hunting 

 season. 



The people arc in favor of Fish and 

 Game Districts 4-A and 4-B. comprising
