vour a great deal of game and catch some Mice. Consider them 

 detrimental. 



FRED. L. KRAEMER, Williamsport, Lycoming County: 



We have both the Red and Gray Foxes in our county. The 

 Red is the most common and destructive in our neighborhood. 



P. S. STOVER, Lavonia, Centre County: 



We can hardly raise turkeys at my place because of the 

 Foxes; we have to watch them nearly all day in summer. 



DR. A. D. JOHNSTON, Allegheny: 



We still have the Red Fox, thanks to his superior cunning. 

 They are not very abundant. They do help themselves to the 

 farmer's chickens occasionally. No bounty should be paid 

 for them. The sportsman will take care of them that they do 

 not become too abundant. 



W. C. BABCOCK, Blossburg, Tioga County: 



Red Foxes are plenty, the Gray scarce; very destructive to 

 game. Are detrimental to farmers because they destroy so 

 much poultry. They catch a good many Mice and some insects 

 also. 



ABNER FAOUE, Picture Rocks, Lycoming County: 



I have known Wildcats to kill young Deer and Foxes to kill 

 young lambs. The Red Fox is most common and destructive 

 to poultry of all kinds. Both Red and Gray Foxes are great 

 destroyers of game, and they also consume large numbers of 

 small song birds. They are very bad tenants on the farm. The 

 Mice and other enemies we have which Foxes catch do not 

 compensate farmers and poultry raisers for fowls they lose 

 by the Foxes' cunning raids. 



W. H. HERBERTSON, Brownsville, Fayette County: 



I often see where Foxes have got in their work on both do- 

 mestic fowls and game birds. Foxes and Hawks are our 

 worst enemies in this section and we kill all that we can, and 

 the Gun Club has been paying fifty cents per head on all 

 killed within six miles of our town.
