It seems that there would be much less probability of error in policy 

 if the affairs of the game animals of the state were placed in the hands of 

 a commission of variously trained men. A conservation commission

 sources of the state, including the forests, the lakes, the wild life, and 

 the state parks when there are any, and determine the policy with refer- 

 ence to the use of these properties. The promotion o>f such a propa- 

 ganda I conceive to be the legitimate aim of the Iowa Forestry and Con- 

 servation Association. Iowa Forest and Conservation Association, 1913,
