shoot, the deer is yours—if you can’t— 
well, that's another story. However, fine 
ruffed grouse and woodcock shooting is 
to be found here this year. Good board, 
camps, guides and climate.

when owners of poultry desire to kill them. On 
skunk farms it is not practicable to rear more 
than 50 to ioo skunks per acre. 
W. L. Finley of Oregon, spoke upon Game 
Farms, urging publication of correct and com¬ 
plete data upon results of game propagation. 
Moore of New York, said that the New York 
State Game Farm distributed last year 6,000 
pheasants and 30,000 eggs on applications. Over 
90 per cent, of the eggs hatched. No incubator 
birds. Chicks were allowed to run wild, were 
netted at 6 to 7 weeks old and immediately dis¬ 
tributed. Keeps 1,000 breeders. Legislature just 
made appropriation for two additional game 
farms. Income from sportsmen about $200,000. 
Sportsmen pleased with results of pheasant pro¬ 
duction. Four days open season. Commission 
has broad power, can close season in county. 
Sportsmen have petitioned for close seasop-ho 
give pheasants chance. State Game Fa/-p nas 
large possibilities. 
General Speaks of Ohio, described conditions 
in Ohio, and spoke interestingly upon mainte¬ 
nance of game birds. 
The following resolutions were adopted : 
WHEREAS it has been conclusively deter¬ 
mined that many species of birds are subject to 
various diseases due to the presence of specific 
germs and animal parasites, and 
WHEREAS, experience has demonstrated 
that shipments of international, interstate and 
even of lesser distances have resulted in serious 
extension of disease, either directly from the 
birds, or indirctly through infection of ground 
or water supply, be it 
RESOLVED, that this association urge upon 
individuals and sportsmen’s clubs intelligent con¬ 
sideration of the dangers which may attend 
every shipment of birds, notably quail and ducks 
and particularly do we urge upon the state and 
Federal governments a complete, strict and ef¬ 
fective quarantine of all importations of live 
birds. 
RESOLVED, that the Governor of each 
state be and he is hereby requested to appoint 
ten delegates to each annual convention of Game 
Commissioners. Such delegates shall take part 
in the meeting but shall have no vote. 
RESOLVED, that the incoming president 
when elected be and he is hereby directed to 
raise certain general committees, and special 
committees, by groups of states, and commit 
to them the problems of Game Conservation for 
solution and report at the next annual meeting. 
RESOLVED, that we are impressed with 
the benefit that may come to the cause of Game 
and Wild Bird Protection through the help of 
the three hundred thousand Boy Scouts of 
America, and recommend that wherever that 
may be possible, the Boy Scouts be enlisted in 
the great work, and we thank them for work 
already done in this direction. 
WHEREAS, extended experience has proved 
that fish, mollusks, and other aquatic animals 
are amenable to artificial propagation, and that 
the per acre yield of food from the waters and 
from the land under water can be enormously 
increased by methods essentially identical with 
those so successfully employed in agriculture, 
and. 
WHEREAS, the constantly increasing demand 
for food, can be permanently met not merely by 
discovery and destructive exploitation of new 
fishing grounds, but that this demand for food 
can only be met permanently and economically 
by increased production after the methods and 
practices of agricultural science, and 
WHEREAS, the future continuance and nec¬ 
essary extension of our fisheries, will require 
the development of methods of increasing pro¬ 
duction, and 
WHEREAS, production must underlie com¬ 
merce in fisheries products, be it 
RESOLVED, that this association is of the 
opinion that the work of the Bureau of Fisher¬ 
ies, is and properly should be closely allied with 
problems of production as well as distribution 
of aquatic food products, and that the activities 
are and should be more closely allied with the 
type of activities carried on by the Department 
of Agriculture, therefore, be it further. 
RESOLVED, that this association appoint a 
committee to confer with the Secretary of Com¬ 
merce and Labor, and the Secretary of Agricul¬ 
ture and the Commissioner of Fisheries with 
power to represent this society in considering 
the problems involved. Adjourned sine die
