The answer is “no,” according to the results of a 47-state sur vey conducted recently by North Dakota Outdoors, monthly maga zine published by the state game and fish department. The detailed results of the survey, which are compiled in connection with an article presenting the pros and cons of the bounty argument in the May issue of the magazine, disclose that game management officials from 37 states believe that the bounty system is not a wise expenditure of public funds. However, for various reasons, a total of 26 states are continu ing to pay bounties in one form or another, sixteen states form erly paid bounties but have dis continued the practice. Some striking variations con cerning the species of animals bounded and the fees were noted in the survey. Nine states pay a bounty on the coyote with the price ranging from $2 to $30. Fourteen states bounty the bobcat with fees rang ing from $20 in New Hampshire to $2.50 in Oregon. Mountain lion bounties paid by nine states vary from $75 to $25. Other bountied animals include the badger, fox, weasel and wolf. Support for the bounty system apparently comes chiefy from ranchers, sheepmen, trappers, and operators of light airplanes w'ho engage in aerial hunting. The article continues by say ing that the only justification of bounty payment is that it pays a little to people who can use the money or it pacifies stockmen worried about coyotes taking their lambs. “Game management officials of the most of the states are of the opinion that the boun ty system will not Increase game bird populations by controlling predatory species,’» the article concludes. WARD'S Propane Service 000. Even with today’s high prices it is doubtful that any home owner will make this statement, but it docs apply to the hatchery division of the Oregon State Game commission. To raise over 12 million fish per year is an expensive undertaking and food is one of the major items of expense. When hatchery production of fish began in Oregon, purchase of lood was a small problem. Liver, lungs, and other viscera from cattle could easily be ob tained for feeding purposes. The cost per pound of food during the 1930’s was about two cents. Naturally as the cost of living has increased, so has the cost of raising fish. The game commission now op erates 14 trout hatcheries. Re ports from these hatcheries show’ that a total of 856,572 pounds of food was fed during the first four months of 1953. The aver age cost of this food was nine cents per pound. Allotment of the food varies •greatly. At the Alsea hatchery, located in the coast range moun tains, 1,284 large cutthroat trout being held as brood fish ate an average total of 15 pounds of food per day during April. In sharp contrast, at the same Jlatchery, 32,000 Silver salmon between one-half and one inch in length needed a total of about one ¡x)und of food per day. Hatchery feeding of fish is an ever changing task, since water temperature, growth of fish, and the length of the seasons vary the food demands constantly. Causing more complicated com putations of the hatcheryman is the arrival of the liberation truck to haul away some of his charg es. If commission operations pro ceed as planned in 1953, approxi mately $700,000 will be spent on the fishery resources of the state. Of this total expenditure, a large share will go to the pur chase of food for trout raised to maintain fishing in the lakes and streams of Oregon. sion. “The Church of the Lutheran Hour,” Pastor W.
