8 THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 



GAME BREEDING TAUGHT AT CORNELL 



UNIVERSITY 



A bill appropriating $15,000 for a game farm at 

 Cornell University passed at the last session of the 

 New York Legislature. Land has been selected 

 and purchased not far from the campus. Courses 

 of instruction are being given in the conservation 

 of wild life. Lectures and laboratory work will be 

 given from February 18 to May 11. The idea is 

 to give practical work in game breeding and pre- 

 serving for those who wish to take up this line as 

 a commercial pursuit. It is thought that by estab- 

 lishing a game breeding experiment farm at the 

 university, it will prove of great value in increas- 

 ing the game supply of the state.

Beware of him who seeks to overthrow in the 

 name of patriotism some law or regulation, the 

 ultimate object of which is to line his pockets with 

 gold ! 



If you have not already done so, it is time to 

 buy a can of oil, wipe off the old pole, look over 

 your stock of flies and get ready for that day's 

 outing on your favorite stream.

Don't forget that the Oregon Sportsmen's 

 League is raising a tobacco fund for the boys in 

 France. Have you contributed your bit? If not, 

 Dr. E. C. MacFarland, President of the Oregon 

 Sportsmen's League, of Portland, Oregon, or S. C. 

 Bartrum, Secretary of the League, Roseburg, Ore- 

 gon, will be glad to receive your contribution.
