"A great and increasing interest is being shown 

 throughout the country in game protection. This 

 is evidenced by the considerable number of meas- 

 ures on this subject now before Congress, and in 

 the more enlightened character of State legislation 

 in matters pertaining to game. 



"In view of the interest and co-operation of the 

 Forest Service in connection with the protection of 

 game in the National forests, it would be extremely 

 helpful in this direction if the forest rangers could 

 be made ex-officio deputy State game wardens in 

 all of the States. Certain States already have laws 

 to this effect, and the Boone and Crockett Club 

 might help in bringing about this legislation in 

 other States. A great barrier to the proper pro- 

 tection of game in the States is frequently found 

 in the difficulty of impartial enforcement of the 

 law. This might be helped forward considerably 

 by the forest rangers. Their influence at the same 

 time would be strengthened if they were officially 

 a part of the State game protection service.
