While trout are dependent, in
this region, upon forests, streams
through cut-over areas are pre
ferable for trout propagation to
those in virgin forests.
The fishing load on the eight
management areas in the two
national forests in this region,
so far this season, is 100 per
cent heavier than it was a yoar
ago. <
In order to keep some popular
streams stocked, it is necessary
to plant legal-size fish every R
days during the season.
In the two national forests,
areas tcialipg 292,000 actus are
devoted to cooperative wildlife
management.
Seventeen refuge protectors,
provided by the state, serve
these areas.
In this region it requires 66
acres to support one deer. The
speaker added that the laud
ing Indian and Fires Creek
management areas are excelli nt
for deer.
The wild turkey, formerly al- |
most extinct here, is increas
ing. So far this year, 150 have
been reported seen on the
Standing Indian area, and 50
on the Santeetlah area,
Federal-owned acres in West
ern North Carolina ? national
park, national forests, and TVA
? total 1,100.000.
The new parks and forests
commission was created partly
because this western region is
so far removed from Raieigh?
Cherokee is closer to the capr
itals of five other states than to
the North Carolina capital.
The national park system has
been created by congress with
a view to preservation and use,
with the emphasis perhaps be
ing placed on preservation. The
national forests, on the other
hand, emphasize use, multiple
use; and so, Mr. Ray said, "the
forests offer far more to the
public than a national park".
The Blue Ridge Parkway,
which really is an elongated
park, extending from the Shen
andoah National Park in Vir
ginia to the Great Smokies in
North Carolina and Tennessee,
has cost $25,000,000 to date. Its
final cost probably will be be
tween $60,000,000 and $70,000,
000. The average co.st of con
struction per mile is $200,000.
Arrangements for the meet
ing were made by E. W, Ren

Charles R. Hursh, of the South
