I am not offering the above as an absolute fact, but simply as 

 one solution of the problrm of stream stocking and with the hope 

 that more light may be thrown upon your work. It has seemed to 

 me that your department has shown most commendable effort and en- 

 thusiasm, and the results are as satisfactory as could be expected. 

 We have such a vast territory to cover, so many good streams and 

 rivers to stock and fish, so many automobiles to take the many 

 hunters and fishermen to the right place, it is no wonder that 

 some of the old timers take to the old way of going off the beaten 

 trail, seek remote streams or lakes and there find "hearts desire." 



With the coming of easy transportation remote streams are 

 within reach. Time is saved in going and coming, more time is 

 found for fishing and the inquiry has often been made, "Are not the 

 nearer streams better fishing than those more remote?" 



Yours verv truly. 



W. M. BICKFORD.
