It Is becoming apparent, says Hen shaw, "that even should all the mar kets be closed and the sale of game prevented, depletion must continue to follow the rapid conversion of the wilderness. The question of preserves for game and for birds is therefore be coming Increasingly-apparent. In this country it is gratlfylag to ote that game preserves, both public and pri vate, have greatly Increased in num bers, while here and there tracts are ha.1nnln? to be devoted to non-enme birds. i Institutions would be subject to the examination of the Controller of the Currency, the National Reserve Asso ciation and numerous state authorities.
