The Department continued the practice instituted on November 1st 1942, 

 of giving to the Seaman's Fur Vest War Project, the wolf pelts submitted in 

 support of applications for payment of bounty. These pelts were manufactured 

 into fur vests by volunteer workers and were made available to personnel of the 

 Naval Service and Merchant Marine. 



BEAR BOUNTY 



The payment of bounty to control the population of bears was continued. 

 The regulations provided for a bounty of $10.00 on bears killed between April 15th 

 and November 30th by a bona fide resident of a township, located in certain 

 counties and districts, and of which 25% of the total area was devoted to agriculture. 



The Department received 774 applications for bounty on 910 bears killed 

 during the period covered by this report. Payment of 26 of these claims involving 

 31 bears, was disallowed however, due principally to the fact that 25% of the total 

 area of the township in which the bears were killed, was not devoted to agriculture. 

 The total bounty paid therefore, was $8,790.00 for 879 bears.
