' Following action by the Board of
Conservation a n d Development
Chas. H. England, State game ward
en, has announced that the season
for trapping fur-bearing animals has
been closed for two years in fifteen
Western North Carolina counties.
The counties in which the new
regulation takes effect include : the
following: Buncombe, Clay, Chero
kee, Graham, Swain, Jackson, Hay
Wood, , MADISON, Yancey, Hender
son, Transylvania, Folk, Macon, Mc
Dowell and Mitchell. '
Closing of the season for these
animals was asked in petitions from
the fifteen counties, and the action '
of the Conservation Board followed
a public hearing conducted by State
Warden England in Asheville on
October 1 at which the opinions ex
pressed were overwhelmingly in fa-
' . ... . -
vor oi tne proposed cnange.
The petititioners asked that the ;
trapping be prohibited as a feature
of a movement to increase the num-'
ber of fur-bearers in that section to
an extent so that the fur. industry
may be- reestablished ,on a large
scale. Considerable interest,! it
was contended, Is being , developed ,
in this endeavor in the western part.
