STATE HATCHERIES
ARE TOO NUMEROUS
SAYS INVESTIGATOR
Great Falls, Nov. 12.—Fewer
state fish hateheries and more
rearing ponds and screens for irri
gation ditches might go far to
ward solving some of the fish
propagatic" problems and financial
worries of the state fish and game
commission, in the opinion of W.
A. Brown, commissioner from
Great Falls. Mr. Brown said he has
been advised that Montana's fish
program has been characterized
"top heavy with hatcheries" by
some whose business it is to know
about fish propagation.
In line with his contention that
some of the money contributed by
Montana sportsmen has been "frit
tered away" by state fish and
game departments, Mr. Brown de
clared he thought the possibility
of closing some hatcheries until
more rearing ponds and screens
are provided should at least be in
vestigated. As commission fund?
are at so low a mark as to threaten
a large deficit before the money
from 1932 licenses is available, Mr.
Brown suggested the time for re
trenchments has arrived.
For the fiscal year ending June
30, last, commission reports show
15 hatcheries operated at a cost of
more than $88,000. When the sal
aries of the superintendent of
hatcheries and his assistants are
added, the total expended for fish
culture in the 12 months passed
$97,000. Because of the lack of
rearing ponds, a large percentage
of the small fish were dumped into
waters where large fish were ready
to eat the small ones.
While curtailment of the pro
gram for the 15 stations was order
ed at the October meeting of the
commission, reductions were not
made with an idea of keeping the
plants closed to allow diversion of
money to rearing ponds and ditch
screens until the field program
caught up to the hatchery schedule,
Mr. Brown said.

Missoula, Nov. 5.—(AP)—Mon

While there was an increase of
10 per cent in Montana white pine

Although the livestock industry
sustained further losses through
added depreciation in market val

early fall months, incomes of Mon

and the late bulge in wheat prices
is calculated to have added up
ward of a million dollars to agri
culture's income.
.-vnd livestock producers of the
state are encouraged by the recent
hardening of prices for meat ani

decline had marked the early and
middle months of the marketing
season.
