 thirty days' notice to the otlier. Amendments shall l)erom<' f>]i('rali\i' inimi-diiitely

12. It is mntually understood and ajji'eed that this aKrci'mcnl shall ti-nninate at 

 the end of any fiscal year in the evi'nl that Congress shall fail to make an api>ro- 

 priation for the ensuing fiscal year. 



According' to the terms of the ayt-eemeiit forest officers will enforce 

 fish and panic laws, make arrests, sn])mit r(>])orts and issne hnntiiig and 

 tishin<i' licenses. The force of ^ame wardens will therefore be greatly 

 augmented and better enforcement of the fish and game laws is a cer- 

 tainty. The help of the Forest Service in better posting state game 

 refuges will be another outcome of the cooperation. In return for the 

 services of the forestry men, the game wardens of the state will be 

 deputized as forest fire w^ardens and will help in protecting the forests 

 and in developing the right public attitude toward the laws and regu- 

 lations of the national forests. There is to be a continuance of the 

 annual reports on game conditions in the forests furnished by the 

 District Forester. 



This cooperation, which has been carefully worked out between the 

 ITnited States Forest Service and the Fish and Game Commissiofi, will 

 make violation of the fish and game law's doubly difficult aiul will do 

 much to develop a sentiment favoring game conservation.
