The majority of the rabbits, quail and hares were 
secured during the last two years. 
The total expenditures for all of these activities 
* 
are keeping pace with our annual income. Hundreds of requests 
for additional activities must be refused, but with the active 
support and assistance of more than a half million sportsmen, 
results have gradually improved and our sportsmen are proud 01 
their accomplishments, but they realize that in such a thickly 
•populated state as Pennsylvania we can no longer look upon our 
wild life resources as a food supply, and instead must endeavor 
to continue a sufficient supply of game of all kinds to serve 
as an incentive to lure our people into the great out-doors to , 
enjov a day of whole some recreation. Our laws nave been im¬ 
proved gradually and game of various kinds especially our 
large game -- has increased nicely. During the 1921 season 
the total weight of game killed in Pennsylvania was almost 5,000 
tons. This included almost 5,000 buck deer and over 500 black 
bears. The value of this meat supply has been estimated at _

about $3,500,000. in addition, it is estimated that the value 
of the furs taken by Pennsylvanians last year was approximate-

ly $2,500,000, or a total of about $6,000,000 worth of wild 
life was taken, and this does not take into consideration the 
far greater value derived from hunting recreation from the 
t 
chase. 
FUTURE PROGRAM 
It is the intention of the Game Commission of Pen¬ 
nsylvania to continue their various activities along about the 
same lines as during the last half dozen years. Pennsylvania
